Every time I simply touch my iPhone its as if I pressed the home screen button. What do I do?

What should I do? Please help!

You mean the screen is lighting up? How do you know it is acting as if you pressed the home button? Do you have a case on the device? Do you have auto-lock set? If you do, what is the interval?

    the screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?

    Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

  • HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

    This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
    Please help.

    Go to the apple store and find out what is wrong.

    Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything?  I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
    If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • IPhone and iPad Constantly return to the Home Screen

    My iPhone AND iPad constantly quits mail, pandora, and may other apps and returns to the home screen. It also does the same in the middle of typing emails. I have spent four months back and forth to the Apple Store with no success. The attitude has been well...I don't know what's wrong. Now the warranty is up. Any advise or options?

    You name it, I have done it, multiple times. I have restored and set up as a new device every trip(4) to the Apple Store and on my own several times. The store has also reset the firmware twice. I have spent about 10 hours at different stores tech with no resolve. This all started when icloud came out. 

  • What makes the home screen button malfunction on the iPhone 3Gs?

    I'm tired of cutting my phone off just to get to another app. Can someone help me figure out what happened to my home screen button?

    It's very likely a hardware issue.
    You could try a restore either from backup or as "new" to see if that rectifies the problem.
    If not, then it's time for a visit to the genius bar for a warranty or out of warranty replacement depending on your warranty status.    

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My iphone has been toggling between the Apple logo(like its just been rebooted) and the home screen. I cant do anything to stop it. Batt still has some juice. It keeps beeping also, the same beep u hear everytime u plug in to charge.

    I have updated it to 4.3.3 abt 2 weeks ago. I have also tried rebooting it a few time but to no avail. You can email me at [email protected]
    Thanks!!!!

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • How do i fix a white screen on a 4th generation ipod touch? it will not let you press the home button and off button to reset it. it also does nothing when you plug it into the computer

    how do you fix a white screen on an ipod touch

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
