Home button fail during call

During a phone call this morning I was unable to use the home button to get to the home screen during an active phone call. I was able to double press the home button to get the recent apps list, and I was able to switch to other apps. But at no time during the call could I get to the home screen. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is a fix in the works? iPhone 4, 4.0.1.

Mine seems to be working as normal. Does this happen on every call? I would try to do a hard reset of the phone, and if your still having that problem, then restore the phone. If issues still persists, then make an appointment with Apple to check it out.

  • Why does my home button fail to work

    My home button on iphone 4 does not work unless I hold it for 15-20 sec, then voice control comes up.

    why does my home button fail to work
    maybe it's broken?
    Restore the phone and set it up as a new phone to isolate a software issue.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Iphone 4; Software Issues RE: Home Button, Voice Control & Calls

    Two days ago my iPhone 4, with the latest operating system, has been having a series of problems;
    - The home button has stopped working
    - Voice control activates independently
    - Voice and Facetime calls have been connected by itsself, even though it is just sitting in lock mode on my desk, not connected to my computer or even WiFi.
    I have restored the phone to its factory settings, this did not fix the issues.
    Does anyone know of to fix this or if this is a software issue that can be handled by the apple store.
    I have had the phone for under a year.
    Thanks.

  • Long press home button when locked calling randon contacts.

    Long press of Home button while locked activates voice control which then calls random contacts. This tends to happen when the deviced is in a bag or in my pocket. How can you modify the button behaviour in ios 5 on iPhone4?

    iOS multitasking is supported on the iPhone 3GS or later. Check the note near the bottom of the following link > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211
    Hope that helps

  • Iphone 4. Microphone fails during calls

    Iphone 4. Microphone fails during calls

    Yeah -- I'm getting this myself.  Did you ever find a solution?
    Here's some more information:
    Microphone DOES NOT work when:
    I make a call via carrier (typical method)
    I receive a call via carrier (typical method)
    Microphone SOMETIMES works when:
    I make a call via carrier (typical method), and then cuts out a few minutes during the call
    I receive a call via carrier (typical method), and then cuts out a few minutes during the call
    Microphone DOES work when:
    Using recording apps (voice memos)
    Make calls via data apps like:  Skype,  MagicJack.  I can use these apps to call/communicate with the person on the other end of the call without ANY issues.  Microphone does not cut out at all.  Works perfectly.
    Tried To Solve Using The Following (To no avail):
    Plug in / out headphones/mic.  This is functioning properly.  When I take out headphones/mic, and use the volume toggle, it does not show headphones as being plugged in.  Looks typical, and I can hear sound coming out of the speakers.
    Tried using the external "speaker" option during calls.  This had no effect.  The speaker icon highlights, and appears as normal, but they still cannot hear me talking into the mic.
    Switching Carriers in Settings > Carriers.  I tried hopping onto another carrier  (by disabling Auto), then moving back to my own Carrier.  Something to note... THe other carrier didn't allow me to fully connect to it.  I was not able to make a call on another carrier (I suspect this is normal).  I then re-enabled Auto.  Nothing helps.
    Reboot, Toggle Airplane-mode
    Latest Update (5.0.1)
    Sync with iTunes
    Summary Of Problem:
    This is seemingly an issue while making / receiving calls through the carrier., but I've seen this problem a lot in other forums.  They've tried different SIM, and carriers, and nothing's helped.   I'll try a new SIM card next, though I don't see it as being a coverage thing what-so-ever.  My data works, and my mic WORKS --- just not during phone calls.

  • Deserializing failed during calling webservice

    Hi,
    try to test a webservice with the test functionality on WAS Web Service Navigator. The following error occure:
    com.sap.engine.services.webservices.additions.soaphttp.exceptions.ProcessException: Deserializing fails. Nested message: XML Deserialization Error. Can not create instance of class [enbw.net.DataCRMAuftrag] when deserializing XML type [urn:enbw.net][DataCRMAuftrag]..->com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.XmlUnmarshalException: XML Deserialization Error. Can not create instance of class [enbw.net.DataCRMAuftrag] when deserializing XML type [urn:enbw.net][DataCRMAuftrag].->java.lang.InstantiationException: enbw.net.DataCRMAuftrag
    What ist the problem?
    Alle used classes implements Serializable, so no failure will be shown during building and deploying on WAS?
    Thanks in advance,
    Frank

    Hi,
    The deserialization error sometimes is caused cos of using underscore '_' for the variables you might have used in the java class , even though the java class implements Serializable.
    Check for '_' in the java class ,if u have any, remove them and deploy the Webservice again.And if u are still facing the problem then delete the webservice and create a new webservice with same name with the new java classes.
    Hope it solves ur problem.

  • Submit button fails to call event

    Hi
    I hav a webdynpro app where I am using a PDF form.
    The Submit button does not respond.
    When I take a project from one of my colleagues and I try to run it in my
    development environment the submit button works well and responds to my clicking
    by going to the event handler attached to the action.
    The environment we use is the same, so are all the Web Dynpro, Adobe Reader, and Lifecycle Designer versions.
    Anyone seen such behaviour?
    Regards
    yuval

    Hi,
    Otto is right.
    SAP recommends ZCI rather than instead of ACF.
    As per the note: 766191, it is supported upto reader 9. I am not sure about 9.1.
    Please refer to Note: 834573,1055911, 1042394 for ZCI implementation.
    Hope this would be helpful.

  • Back and home buttons not functioning

    Hi,
    A few days ago, I noticed that the back button on my Lumia 920 failed to respond at times and I'd have to use the home button to escape out of whatever I was doing. Then yesterday, both the back and home buttons failed to work. The search button is still functioning but the phone isn't really usable as the only way to exit an app is to turn the phone off.
    I did a power cycle, a hard reset, and then I returned the phone to factory settings, which put it in a "gears" situation for about 6 hours until I finally got it to boot up again. That didn't fix the button issue.
    Nokia says, since I had the screen locally replaced several months ago,  the phone is no longer under warranty. They wil not repair it at their service center in Texas and my only recourse is to send it to Palco.
    I spoke to Palco and they are unable to give me any information as to whether the phone is repairable. They just want me to spend money to send it to Alabama, give then $15 + shipping to diagnose it - they say it will take 5 - 10 days just to diagnose the problem. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks if I don't even know if it can be repaired. I'm angry that the only authorized repair center in the U.S. is in Alabama and they have no techs you can speak to on the phone. It's really the worst customer service I've ever seen.
    Has anybody else ever experienced this issue? Were you able to get your phone repaired? I am going to see the guy that replaced the screen for me, but when I spoke to him on the phone he thought it was odd that 1 of the buttons still worked and wasn't at all convinced that he could fix it. He's never seen this problem before.
    Thanks for any guidance,
    HB

  • Any suggestion on how to fix an iphone with a broken home button?

    I have 3 iphones on my ATT account.  All 3 of these phones have had the home button to stop working.  We had one iphone replaced since it was still under warranty.  I am cautious about even getting another iphone due to this ongoing problem.  Has anyone found a workable solution?  Has apple acknowledged that they are even aware of this issue? I am very frustrated.  If it were an isolated incidence it wouldn't be so bad, but I have found hundreds of pages with complaints of the same problem.

    Since this button is mashed a lot, harder by some people than others, it may fail on some iPhones. People who had them break will be posting  on the net for solutions. The millions of people who don't have the issue generally don't feel up hundreds of pages saying, "my home button works all the time."
    I've never had a home button fail on my 2 iPhones. There is speculation that Apple could move to a virtual home button to avoid home button problems. It is a mechanical switch, it can fail, but there is no "issue" to report.

  • Ios 5 exiting the phone menu as if I pushed the home button.

    When I go to make a call, the phone application just crashes as if I pressed the home button.  The call is still active, but I have to hit the green bar on the top to re-enter, but it just exits again. I'm hoping someone can help.
    Thanks

    Try going into the multi-task window and close the app then give it a try.  To close an app double click the home bottom, when the multi-task window opens find the phone app then hold your finger on the app until it start to wiggle and a red minus sign shows up on the left corner, tap the minus sign to close the app.
