Home Button Bug?

For the past week or two, I have been having an intermittent problem with my home button on my iPhone 3g. When I press the home button to get back to the home screen from an application, I am taken instead to my favorites contact list. This sometimes happens as well when I end a call. Anyone know if this is a common problem or if there is a simple fix? I got the 3.0 upgrade but the issue is still occurring.

that's because you are probably double clicking on the home button and have your settings set to go to your favorites when double clicking on the home button.
if you aren't double clicking then maybe your home button is overly sensitive and is registering a single click as a double click.

JFileChooser home button shows desktop - bug?

Running jdk 1.4.1 on XP I would expect the home button to direct the user to his or her "My Documents" folder. However, when clicking the home button, the desktop is shown. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
Randahl

i think you can decide which directory is the home directory.
JFileChooser
public JFileChooser()Constructs a JFileChooser pointing to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.
This is taken from the JFileChooser interface... its not a bug its the default value. You can alterate that using a different constructor such as
public JFileChooser(String currentDirectoryPath)Constructs a
JFileChooser using the given path. Passing in a null string causes the file chooser to point to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.
Hope this helps

So I just bought an iPhone 5s and Touch ID was working fine until the software update is that a bug ? Because I don't think my home button broke

Have not heard of that but here is what I would do - test after each step to see if the problem is solved
1. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. If that does not work - back up to iTunes and restore to factory settings
3. Check to see if the problem is resolved before restoring from backup

Frequent LowMemory crash when starting multitasking by double-click Home button

After upgrading iOS 7, my iPhone 5 crashes when double-clicking home button for multitasking.
The crush shows white apple logo and reboots my iPhone.
It occurs about 2-3 times a day.
Every time crash occurs, Diagnostic & Usage Data would add a LowMemory log, which is exactly the time iPhone crashes.
Therefore I guess it's because of running out memory.
I've tried Reset My Phone, Reduce Motion, Disable Background App Fresh..., but none of it worked.
My iPhone begins to crash 3 days after resetting.
Does anybody know how to solve it?

I think you mean crash.
Also, I am going to assume you've tried restarting and reseting. What you can do is back up the important information in your phone (using either iTunes or iCloud) and restore the device as new. Then, you can restore from your backup. This will remove any and all software bugs.

IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
thanks a lot in advance
Added more info ~

I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
1. Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150.
2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
3. The Home button still was intermittent. I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
4. I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone. While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously. I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
5. I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
6. As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings. This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4. So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

Problems with the home button and generally freezing and shutting down often.

I have had this iPad 2 for around 3 months. After about a month I noticed that I was having to press the home button multiple times in order to get it to respond. It is now at a stage where I have to press it as many as 12-13 times. It's won't do this every time but all day for maybe 3 out of 5 days the other times it works fine.
As well as this I have also had issues with the Internet shutting down, Skype going crazy, picture albums popping up and then vanishing and so on. I'm not a computer wiz but I would describe it as going crazy two or three times a day.
While I was in a shopping centre about a week ago I asked about the problems in an apple store. The man was very helpful and asked if I had it on me so he could look at it. Unfortunately I didn't be he said I could bring it back whenever I like and it would take around 30 mins for someone to check it out. He said most Likley they would just give me a new one and that would be that. So of course happy that it could be sorted I went home. Today I decided to drive the nearly two hours down to Brisbane after having a nightmare time trying to Skype my friend this morrning. I hot to the store and asked if it could be looked at only to be told I need an appointment. I showed the card that I had been given and explained what I had being told. To cut a long story short he agreed that I had been told that but said the assistant clearly didn't know what he was on about and that I should come back. I offered to wait but dispute the shop being more full of staff watching movies and downloading songs then actual customers I was basically denied any sort of help and told to call the office to arrange an appointment.
Sorry to rant! I just thought that apple were renowned for good service? 5 hours later I'm home with the same issues.
If anyone has had similar problem with the device or even customer service I would be intrested.
Regards,

Me too! I had many bugs and returned my phone for a brand new one that did this the first time it was turned on at the Apple store. I was told it is a "software issue" and to "reboot the phone" if it continued to happen. It happens almost every time I try to use my phone. I've rebooted three times in a row some days. Nothing really seems to help. I keep waiting for an update.

Home Button not working properly after latest update

After installing the latest update on my Iphone 4S, the home button immediately started to give me problems. It works sporadically. Sometimes it allows me to close apps when I tap it twice, sometimes it won't do anything, sometimes it will go to the negative effect. This was not an issue prior to the latest update. I have version 7.1. Has anyone found a repair for this?

So did you have a similar issue before upgrading to iOS 7.1? This can also be a hardware issue which you didn't have before.To be sure, get your home button checked top you're nearest Apple store.If you still have the problem, then this may have been caused by a bug.to report the bug, go to this site: apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.The iPhone team may even contact flute further details from you.

But today i tried that and i get the following bug, Plug the iphone in restore goes through properly, i get the message saying keep iphone conencted. then a error message says. Iphone needs to be restored as its currently in recovery mode.
Now if i unplug the usb cable and turn the phone off and turn it on, it will finish the install of the restore.
Ill then plug it back into the pc and perform the back up, and shortly after ill get the same problem. so i unplug and turn off the iphone. turn it back on and it will be backed up.
I can then sync it through itunes, but the home button remains disabled.

Details: Iphone 3gs white 16gb
software version: 4.3.5

How to deactivate Siri on Home Button

Hi guys,
my iphone 6 has the newest ios version (8.2). There seems to be a bug regarding siri. I can not disable siri in any way! I tried the solution from this post: How to disable voice control (ios 8) but it did not work. Disabling siri seems not to have any effect at all.
This really p.i.s.s.e.s me off! In every meeting its the same s.h.i.t. I have the phone in my pocket and by accident the home button presses against the chair and voila, siri. SIRI! Argh! No really, this is just so annoying! How the f* can i disable this once and for all!

Funny thing is. When i enable siri (settings -> general -> siri) and disable siri on the lock screen (settings -> touch id), it will not pop up when the phone is locked and i press the home button, but when i disable siri again (settings -> general -> siri), it will pop up when i press the home button, even on lock screen... And btw, it also pops up on the lock screen when i disable voice dial (settings -> touch id) which is only visible when you disable siri. I also reproduced this behaviour on 2 other iphone 6 with the latest ios 8.2 so this really seems to be a bug... can someone in this forum please try to reproduce it?

3.1.2 double clicking home button when music is not playing

Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? I don't know it's a design change or a bug, but for me it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.2?

It's a design change, not a bug. Although I do have to agree with you on that I preferred what double-clicking the home button originally did. There is even settings (in general settings if I can remember right) on what double-clicking the home button performs, but that isn't even an option on it.
And nope this is not fixed or redesigned in 3.1.2.
Hope that answers your question,
Enjoy!

White screen when pressing home button and getting text

Strange thing, hopefully software bug. I press the home button to check time and all that shows is a white screen. It's not the white screen of death because I can simply press the sleep button and then go straight back to what I was doing, pressing home button, etc. and it's fine. I've even taken a screen shot of it with iPhone. All that appears is my true wallpaper, as if it didn't know it wasn't already showing it. Also, it's very random. I can't reproduce. It's pretty minor as I can quickly getout of it but I want it clean.
I've restored, restored as new, reset, turned on/off, everything I can think of. Any ideas?
I also have the speaker distortion bug many are talking about (blown speaker sound).
I have a genius bar appointment Sunday so I'm curious what they say.

I suggest going through the usual troubleshooting steps:
1. Reset the phone by pressing both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (ignore red slider).
2. Setting > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
4. Restore as a new iPhone
5. Take it to the Genius Bar.

Messed Up Home Button?

Is it just me and my phone or is the home button just not that responsive. What I mean is with mine, I have to push pressure, because the 1st time usually does not work. So I push it a little "more" the 2nd time around and it works.
It bugs me cause i'm unaware if its a problem or just my interpretation of how "easier" I expected the home button would be to push.

My home button became less and less responsive over the past couple of months, to the point where I had to press it 3-5 times, really pressing down, before it would work. I was willing to live with this, but I took it to an Apple store anyway (I'm lucky; I live in NYC where there are three), and the guy at the Genius Bar played around with it, compared it to his own, said "No, this isn't normal" and gave me a new phone, which works perfectly. (And people wonder why Apple has such fanatic customer loyalty...)
