HELP!!!!! Home Button going crazy!!!!!

I just got the iPhone 3g. The home button is taking me to my favorites contacts (I did not configure the phone to do this). I cannot see the main screen. I tried tuning the phone off by pressing and holding the on/off button and it wont do anything... it just go into sleep mode.. PLEASE HELP. what should I do and why this happen?

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem, i.e. intermittently, the iPhone seems to "lock" on the Favourites screen. The five buttons along the bottom of the screen work, but the Home button does not. If I try and turn the phone off, it just goes to sleep. Then, on waking, shows the welcome screen. But then, sliding to unlock takes me straight back to the Favourites menu, not the main menu.
A right feckin' pain in the arse. Didn't have any hint of a problem with the original iPhone. Have now been an owner of an iPhone 3G for less than a week, and have already had to do two restores to get around this "home button locking" problem - which is no solution at all of course, especially as now, that the iTunes server seems to be barfing, so I can't even download an update to restore from!
Poor show. I think this baby is going straight back to the shop for a replacement.
Anyone else have this problem?

  • Palm tx home button goes to contacts

    The 4 buttons on the bottom of my Palm TX seem to be mixed up. The leftmost home button goes to APPOINTMENTS, the left inside button goes to CONTACTS, the button to the right inside button goes to TASKS, and the rightmost button goes to NOTE. Is there a way to reset these to point to the correct application?

  • Help me please going crazy, I have my Iphone 4S getting my e-mails from my computer using outlook but when I delete yhem on my computer they stay on my phone, I am syncing via the cloud, Is there a setting that stopps this e-mail from growing on my phone?

    For outlook or hotmail emails they use a pop server technology that you can't sync your computer and your iPhone with. You have to unfortunately delete the emails from both devices. It is super frustrating but that is the only way.
    Hope this helps.

  • Home button goes to favorites, not to applications

    Well... kind of going nuts not being able to go back to my applications. The home button brings me to the phone app of the iphone... and I find no way to access all my other apps!
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Desperate Swissy

    Hey Ingo2711, your advice did the trick!!! Thanks to you and to the others too, wonderful not to feel alone with our problems!
    I knew that pressing home button twice could bring you straight to favorites... and also tried switching on and off... but always came back to favs no matter how... Just could not reach home page again! So re-setting made it work! Sooo cool!
    Cheers and Merry Xmas to all!

  • Home Button goes unresponsive when iPad locks, accompanied with Safari crashes

    As the title says, I've taken notice that my iPad is slowly deteriorating performance wise. Safari has been increasing crashes over the past week, to the point where I think something is up if it DOESN'T crash within the last 10-30mins. The browser will freeze, and boot me out to the Home Screen.
    I am now at the point where, once my iPad goes black after not fiddling with it for awhile, the Home Button will not bring me to the Lock Screen unless I double click it for the mini-music controls to appear. These things seem to have started appearing only after I updated to the latest iOS 5.0.1 update.
    My iPad has suffered no outside trauma, the battery rarely gets to less than 5% life, and I've disabled unneeded and unused features, such as many of the Spotlight Searches. I do however, keep roughly 6-8 tabs open in Safari regularly, as I like to hop tabs as my attention span demands lol (that in itself may be the reason for the browser crashes..).
    Does anyone else seem to have any similar issues, or know that it might be a firmware/hardware problem that is documented somewhere? I have seen other threads about unresponsive iPads/iPhones but nothing that matches my problem specifically.

    I'm hoping I wont have to get to that point. But thats what its looking like its coming to. I haven't come across anyone else with the issue.

  • HT1595 Help w/Apple TV2 and home network--going crazy!

    This is maddening.  i have Apple TV 2nd Gen and it CONSTANTLY does this:  my network appears, shows strong signal, but it is not connected to internet.  OVER and OVER again.  Please help!
    Other facts--we have a Bose Surround Sound system that has all compenents plugged into it.  I can see my network when I hit network, but if I go to configure WiFi, it has to search, then shows mine (sometimes) and I have to select it, type in u/n and password, and then it says "cannot connect to server".  meanwhile, my macbook, ipad, pc, etc are all happily connected to my WiFi.  And again, back to network and it shows my home net with strong signal.  This is the most irritating, irrational maddening process and I can't seem to figure it out!!!!  Can't see movies, can't test network because can't connect to iTunes, can't even see my home sharing to show pictures from my macbook.  ARGH.
    I have tried restarting my Apple TV, restarting my wireless router, typing in my credentials, trying to run test network (since it shows it's connected but isn't), all to no avail.  My partner wants me to pitch it out the window.  I want to love it but it's making me crazy.
    Can anyone help me??

    Follow up:  It appears to have been caused by the Bose system.  We have multiple areas that can be controlled by the Bose console.  Playing another area (outdoor speakers) via one source (satellite) was interfering with playing the Apple TV in the den on the television.  Apparently.

  • Creating a score set - please help- I'm going crazy

    OK- deep breath ...........I'm trying to create a score set for 4 instruments. I read the manual, then tried everything on p 765........... I started first with the tracks in the Arrange area.- with and without rubber bands - and because this didn't work, I scrubbed this and tried to simply set up thew score in the Score Editor.
    It didn't work. I want to be able to see the music for 4 instruments - at one go -in the score editor. Is this possible ?
    Please someone save my sanity and give me an blow- by- blow account how to achieve this. I've been on this for hours and can't see the wood for the trees now so am going out for a breath of fresh air.
    Kay.

    You can look at the bottom of the arrange page.. But for 4 tracks I would open a score editor window by itself.. The score section is complex and not intuitive to say the least..
    In the score editor, click on the 6th from the left box. it looks like a page of text (when you highlite it will turn blue).. That shows you the whole score, in a tradional page format.. If you still see only one track, double click somewhere other than the track, (space in between). Page will toggle between showing one track/ and all tracks..
    To make life easier if you have many tracks to display = create a 'score set'. Label it, (band etc). reduce the size, 50 - 65% whatever. Then go under File in Logic, page set up.. Select the 90 turn, so now the pages longer side to side. You can see more measures at a time..
    You may want to have several score sets, to help with editing. One of everything. another to show just the piano and guitar, etc. This will make it easier to edit, copy paste between staves etc.
    The score editor is very powerful, if you take the time to figure it out, but documentation is vague

  • Help I'm Going Crazy

    I recently purchased a G4 Titanium 1ghz with 1gb ram and all the other standard options. I was working fine, but the person I purchased it off of installed it with using the Spanish language. I decided to wipe the hard drive and put a fresh install on. After booting from the DVD with the original disc. I was able to erase the drive and create a new partition using the disk utility. What happens next is what has me perplexed. It boots to where it asked for the language, I select English. The I small window pops up with the various icons then disappears and a drop down window appears with the error saying This software cannot be installed on this system. That's as far as it ever gets. I was able to copy an image to the hard drive and when I try to install from that image I get the same exact error. Any one have any suggestions.

    The disks I have a supposed to be the original disks they say G4 Powerbook. Is the an actual command for formatting the hard drive? I a have erased and partitioned, but nothing that actually said format. I have it set for MacOS extended journaled. I even tried is just MacOS extended. I'm not sure what is going on.

  • I bought the mountain lion app and i have been trying for days to install it someone help i am going crazy up in here!

    I bought the mountain lion since last week and have been trying for hours to install it but i am not even getting to install it someone HELP!!!

    I wonder, if you may want to clean up your system first. You could try to scan and repair permissions on that machine, make sure no disc errors, and also do a final pram reset. Then try to re-install again.
    If the install still halts, then re-download the installer.

  • Macbook Pro literally going crazy

    My mac had been working perfectly fine until this past friday.... I went out and came home and it just went crazy.
    First thing that is going on:
    It's like someone has a mouse and has taken over my computer, if it's not the menu buttons going crazy then it's like someone is constantly tabbing to all the folders on my desktop and when i type it's like someone is holding down the arrow to go back to the beginning.
    Second thing that is going on:
    I will shut the lid down, but it won't go to sleep, the apple keeps glowing and fading, glowing and fading... the fans keep running and if i leave it for any amount of time like that, it gets extremely hot.
    Third thing.... my arrow keeps flickering in and out....
    It's just so bizarre... this was a great machine until friday and now it's aggravating the crap out of me.
    I've run tests and everything says it's all ok, but it just doesn't make sense.
    It's like it has a mind of it's own.
    any help would be great.

    I think I've seen similar symptoms on a mbp Santa Rosa 2.2 GHZ with the infamous 8600m GT Card. The owner had brought it back to an Apple Store and they had repaired it under the program related to Article TS2377 (MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues).

  • HOME button: possible response solution?

    I don't know if this helps anyone else, but I turned OFF the "Double-clicking the Home Button" goes to "iPod Controls" feature under the General Settings. My Home button seems more responsive with this option turned off. I used to press it several times before it would respond. Seems to be working for me this way... anyone else having this issue?

    Hello,
    I suggest taking the phone back to the store.
    I had this problem before with one of the iphones I received as an exchange. I think the button is not installed correctly, the issue with that phone was that the button is not responsive at all, it only responds when i press down towards the bottom or center of the home button, if i press just few mm above the center of the button, it wouldn't respond. I took mine back for an exchange and the new phone didn't have this problem.
