Home button intermittently doesn't respond

Home button intermittently doesn't respond. At times it takes 20+ depressions to get it to respond. Have tried a reset on a number of times but like the home button it works sometimes and not other times.

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

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. I've tried restoring it and restarting it but nothing seems to work.

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
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple clips into my movie/project when it happened. It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot
Kind regards

Home Button intermittently problematic

I have Iphone 4 and the home buttonis erratic, it starts as just a mild glitch needing me to push it twice to make it work and it then gets worse to the point where it doesnt work much at all, if i do a reset it seems to clear up for a few days. I have done a restore and cleared out all apps adding them back one by one but no difference I had left the phone for 2 days with no apps and a complete restore and it was still intermittently glitchy.
I think i will take it in for a refund.

I had same issue , to install again or go to repair center for maintance?
which one is perferrable? Thx !!!!
first do a hard reset. hold the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for 10 seconds until apple logo appears. See if that helps. If no change, try a full restore. if still no change, take it back to the apple store and get it fixed/replaced.
As for me. my home button usually works fine. Sometimes it's like if i hit the home button twice, it takes me to the first home screen. Some times if I click the home button once to close the app, it's as if I clicked it twice and opens up the recently bar apps. Doesn't happen all the time but I'm going to keep my eye on it. I'll probably end up going to the genius bar and see what they think.

IPhone won't start.What to do if the home button also doesn't work anymore ?

Hallo,mein IPhone ist ausgegangen ohne dass ich es gemerkt habe und geht nun nicht mehr an und mein Akku war bis vor 10 min noch bei 60 %..ln anderen Beiträgen habe ich gelesen,dass man den Home-Button und den Ein/Ausschaltknopf gleichzeitig betätigen soll und dann sollte es wieder funktionieren,aber mein Problem ist nun,dass mein Home-Button sich ebenfalls seit 3 Wochen nicht mehr betätigen lässt..Was soll ich jetzt machen ?

I updated my 3GS to iOS5, but when i double tap the home button, it doesn't show the camera app, just the ipod controls?

I badly need help, i just updated my 3GS to iOS5, but i don't see any difference, i don't have the new features that they're talking about. When i double tap the home button, it just shows the iPod controls and no camera app shows up.

My iPhone 3GS is still on iOS3 but I think you could already change what double tapping the Home button can do before iOS5, by tapping "Settings" -> "Home". That may have changed in iOS5 but I don't think it should have.

My iPod Touch 4G's home button totally doesn't work, or click. What should I do?

Well, I'm pretty sure I got a dud iPod. My batttery life started out ok then went to heck. Shortly before my warranty ran out I sent it in to Apple to get it fixed, I'm pretty sure they didn't do anything. Then, shortly after my warranty ran out, my home button needed to be pushed at the very top to work. Then, It just stopped functioning at all. I replaced the screen, and I also replaced the home button, that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas to fix it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My home button sometimes doesn't work

If I push it enough times I get home. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes it works on the 10th try. I sent it in and Apple said it was from misuse. Is there anything I can do, either with Apple or to fix it on my own? I don't know what I did to cause this, I take pretty good care of it.

The poster has an iPod tuch. Not an iPhone. There is not provider for the iPod. The poster also said they sendt it to Apple:
"I sent it in and Apple said it was from misuse."
Misuse is not covered by the warranty.

I had the same problem. I am in New Zealand and with Vodafone. I went it to a Vodafone store and they said it would need to be sent away. I got them to send it away and 3 days later I got a phone call to say the home button was damaged and a new iPhone was waiting for me. My iPhone was under warranty which is possibly why I was able to get a new phone. It does seem to be happening to alot of people but I would try your network operator if your phone is still under warranty if not pop into an apple store.

Home Button isn't working/responding

My homebutton stopped working. Before I used to have to just press it repeatedly to have it working again, but now it never works. I pretty much just use it for screenshots though. Please help?

Here is an extract from a thread, the author and exact context of which I do not recall :
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the Home button. Hold until the red slider disappears. Release the Home button.
You should now be on your home screen and your Home button should be recalibrated!

Home button intermittent problem

My IPAD 2 home button has developed a fault, sometimes it works, sometimes it does'nt, when the fault is there I am unable to do anything with my Ipad apart from restart it and even then this doesnt always cure the issue.

Here's a trick to calibrarte the home button:
Open a stock iOS app (e.g., Clock). Once the app is open, press your iPad’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.
