Feature request: Ability to set the Home button to answer incoming calls

Rather than have to manipulate the slider to answer a call, it would be easier (and safer in many cases) to be able to click the Home button to answer a call. That could be implemented as an option on Settings/General/Home. Has this been requested?

it is hard for us to know, since we are end users just like you. We do not work for Apple, and Apple does not monitor these threads to answer individuals.
You may provide feedback to Apple for any enhancements you would like to see implemented at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

First smart phone I have owned and the old flip phone was much easier to answer.....just press one button.

  • How do i set the home button to refresh open tabs instead of opening new ones each time i click on it

    Everytime i click on the "home" button, FF 3.6 opens my three home pages as three new tabs. If i click twice, it opens three more. In IE, if i click the home button i have a choice to either refresh the three tabs starting with which ever one is open (for example, if my second tab page is where I am, that becomes home page #1 and so forth) OR i can select the specific home page i want to return to via a drop down.
    At a minimum, I'd like to set my home button to just open using currently open tabs and not appending. It must be possible b/c DH's FF browser does not do this. What am I missing?

    The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
    Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
    I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.

  • Is there a way to take an incoming call by pressing the Home button?

    Hi all,
    It's winter here in Paris, as in the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, and well, we wear gloves, you know? Mine are made of wool, and when I receive a phone call on my iPhone 4, I have to take at least one glove off to take it. Is there a way to set the Home button or any other physical button on the phone to act as a "Take call" button? I've been looking in the phone settings but came up empty.

    Guys, guys... (sigh)
    Now, let's be constructive, shall we...?
    Malcolm, I see you live in a country even colder than mine, so maybe you're speaking from experience!
    No, seriously, wjosten put it plainly: save from jailbreaking my phone, there doesn't seem to be a solution to my "problem". I'm not quite ready to jailbreak my phone yet, but I'm getting closer every day. I love that phone, but there are so many built-in limitations that I'm on the brink of doing it.
    Now, this said, it would make for a nice improvement in future versions of the iPhone: let the user set one of the physical controls to take calls.
    (As for buying those gloves you guys mention, I like my wool gloves just fine. Plus they're a gift from a loved one)

  • My IPAD2, which I bought in late March, has two patches of yellowish light on the lower frame of the screen, near the home button. These  spots can be seen especially when dark backgorund application is running. It's a hardware problem?

  • HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

    We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access".  I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze.  I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail.  Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times.  When I did that, "guided access" launched.  It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in.  I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active. 
    Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

    Nope .  I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode .  That would have been a red flag for me .  We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally . 
    Thanks for responding Diavonex . 

  • How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.

    Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

    what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not.
    it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before.
    also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons?
    to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.

  • Can I set FF to automatically open in Google when I open a new tab instead of having to also click on the Home button?

    I often open a new tab and I'd like it to automatically open in Google.com rather than a blank page. Is there a way to make this happen? (I know I can click on the + to open a new tab and then click on the Home icon at the far right of the web address bar but I'd like to have Google open in one click instead of two).

    You can middle-click the Home button to have your homepage open in a new tab. Or you can install this extension and set its' option for your homepage.<br />

    Hello Netski1961,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I have 2 recommendations here. First from article iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430:
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If you are unable to continue, try resetting the phone with this from the same article:
    Resetting your device
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I do not see ANY of the new features claimed for Firefox 4, and moving the home button all the way to the right is very inconvenient. So what's so great?

    I have used (and liked) Firefox from the first time it was offered. I
    typically upgrade to newer versions as they come out. Sometimes
    the newer version doesn't differ markedly from the previous one, but, until now, they were not usually a step backward. Upon installing Firefox 4 the welcome page indicated several new features. Specifically an app bar, and a bookmark button next to the home button. However neither of these features are on my copy of the program. Frankly, the only change that I see is the new position of the home button; and I don't like it. Moving the home button all the way across the page from the other commonly used buttons makes absolutely no sense to me, especially if the touted bookmark button doesn't exist. The new speed, if it continues, is nice, but other than that I see no real improvement over Firefox 3. So what's so great?

    The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
    You can rearrange the buttons and place them where you want, for details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
