Home Button Anomaly when the glass base becomes hot !
Dear Forum
I have noticed an anomaly when the iPhone4 is placed ontop of a macbook pro side of the hard disk in the sense that after using the MacBook pro for an hour or so, it begins to heat up and as a consequence, heats the glass base of the iPhone4 with dramatic loss of the home button functionality ...
It takes a few minutes to cool down and return to functionality but the iphone4 needs to be closed down and restarted.
I have not used the iphone4 in direct sunlight such as being in a hot environment like on the beach and I am not sure if the same effect can be replicated but it's really alarming that you loose the home button control and you need to reset the phone to be able to use the phone with normal functionality once the iphone4 has cooled down.
Has anyone experienced the same or is it a known issue ?
Thanks
Joey
Not at all. I use my iphone 4 outside in the sun with temps over 95 degrees, and it has been working fine.

I opened my iPod Touch up to fix my home button. When i closed it back up it had a white screen. I tried pressing lock and home button for 10 seconds and it worked but while i'm using it it goes white with lines on the screen. Help please. This has been happening for a while and i've tried everything but it doesn't work.

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ). -
I just restored my ipod and the power button works, as well as the home button but when I slide the unlock button it doesn't respond. Basically it is not sensing that I am touching it and I can not get out of the home screen. I've tried restoring it and restarting it but nothing seems to work. I've tried everything, is there anything I can do myself to fix it?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on
Can someone help me? My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button. We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on. We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc. Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended. Any other ideas?

As stated, double clicking my iPod's home button pulls up the search feature, when what I want is the multitasking feature. This issue is extremely frustrating; I don't even use the search feature! It doesn't matter if I make two deliberate clicks, two rapid clicks, or any variation in between. Sometimes it works, but the majority of the time, it just pulls up search. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common problem? If so, would updating my iPod to the latest firmware fix the issue? Any help or advice would be appreciated, this is extremely annoying. Thanks!
Search should come if with only one click (from the home page). Try a Reset, if that does not work, a restore From backup. If still no go, you probably have a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius bar of your Apple store.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?
Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);
Regards

my iphone 4 doesnt want to start . all it shows is the apple icon.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button. nothing seems to work . please help.
Plug the iPhone in with the Wall Charger. Then while plugged in do the Reset again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone Restarts. This usually begins to happen in less than 20 seconds time.
If you this does not work you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone. If you decide to do this, connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is detected by iTunes in Recovery Mode, this takes about 20 seconds time. Restore your iPhone.
If this does not work, you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone in DFU Mode. Connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power Button and keep holding the Home Button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, about 20 seconds more time. Restore the iPhone.
If this does not work and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take your iPhone to Apple for resolution of the problem. -
does touching the home button wakes up the iphone 5S or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?
What I am trying to say is that each time I have to click on the home button to wake up the iphone 5s and then it scans my print and logs me in the phone however I was hoping that by just putting the finger on the button will do the whole thing of waking up + unlocking the phone,
Can anyone please let me know if I am wrong or if I am right? since I just bought iphone 5s and I am not sure if the sensor is working or not the way it should be.It sounds like it is working the way it should be. You do have to click one of the two buttons. The closest thing to doing it as a single operation is to click the Home button but don't remove your finger from the button (i.e., leave your finger lightly on the button immediately after clicking it).

"change the home button back to the left side!!!!! I've changed browsers and would like to change back and upgrade to FF 6.0 if you can get that fixed!"
And why can't I send an email from the old browser? lame!You can open the open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and drag the home button to where you want it to appear.

On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?
Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.

I have an iPhone 3Gs and it has froze on the apple logo. I have held the on/off button and the home button together but the apple logo keeps reappearing. What Can I Do?
Try plugging it into your computer, see if that clears it up or if you can perform a restore from your latest backup.
