Home Button not working? Not responding, Home Button not working? Not responding
I've never dropped my iphone 4 and I always have it on me, but for the past month the home button wouldn't respond, is there a way to fix this? BTW I've restored, and turned it on and offstill doesn't respond, I know i can use the Assistive touch button from the recent update, but I want to enter DFU mode using the Sleep button and the home button.
Some have stated that vacuuming it helped, or using the air-compresser. If nothing fixed and you restored your phone and not fixed, then take it to the apple store, make sure you set up an appointment before you go. Explain the situation and they will likely to replace it.
I had this similar issue, where if I press the home button once, it acts as if I pushed it twice and brings up the Recently Used tray. Or it hasn't responded and didn't close, and would have to push it again. Same when I click it twice. It acts as if I only pushed it once and closes the app. So I took it to the genius about 4 weeks ago, explained them what is wrong with my phone. He just simply replaced the phone for me.

My iPod touch 4th generation's on/off button is not responding most of the time. My home button will work 100% of the time. What should I do? PLEASE HELP!

I got my IPhone 4 (GSM) a couple of years back, and had never had any trouble with it. As soon as the new updates came out (this past summer), the phone has been glitching out (randomly screen going black, or closing an app by itself, super slow functioning, screen not responding to touch and home button not working anymore).
Help anyone? Makes no sense why it would just stop working.. ??it depends. i had an iPhone 3GS that was not good in the first place, but functionable. when i got iOS6 it just acted weird like yours. Have you ever dropped your phone or anything? Or maybe you should try closing your apps. For the home button. Go to Settings:General:Accsessibility:Scroll down;Assistive Touch: On. That part is hard to explain but self explanatory,
i hope this helps! -
My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press home button and power button together.
Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone. -
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

- 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.

All of the sudden, in order to make the home button work on my iPad 2, I have to press it without releasing my finger and sometimes, not always, after a few seconds it responds. Could this be a software glitch or a hardware problem, how can I find out and fix it

Help me .....My HOME button not working and responds very very slowly
My home button not working is very slowly
Help me plissHello Frajaisa
I have highlighted below the troubleshooting steps for issues with the Home button slowly responding.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
Seek service is the issue is still occurring.

My iphone's home button doesn't always work. I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen. Many times this doesn't work and I just give up. It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day. I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped. Any suggestions?
Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!
