HOME button: possible response solution?

I don't know if this helps anyone else, but I turned OFF the "Double-clicking the Home Button" goes to "iPod Controls" feature under the General Settings. My Home button seems more responsive with this option turned off. I used to press it several times before it would respond. Seems to be working for me this way... anyone else having this issue?

Hello,
I suggest taking the phone back to the store.
I had this problem before with one of the iphones I received as an exchange. I think the button is not installed correctly, the issue with that phone was that the button is not responsive at all, it only responds when i press down towards the bottom or center of the home button, if i press just few mm above the center of the button, it wouldn't respond. I took mine back for an exchange and the new phone didn't have this problem.

  • Home button not response ;(

    Now, I can't change to other app because home button not response, how do I do?
    I bring my iPad to i-studio (Chiang Mai,Thailand) but officer refused he said" I can't help due to u didn't buy it at my shop" I think the warrant's worldwide so I hope i-studio can help although I bought iPad only 2 month.

    - Can you reset the iPad:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you restore the iPad from backup by connecting the iPad to the computer and restoring it via iTunes?
    - Next would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPad.
    If above is unsuccessful, the I would all/contact AppleCare. Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom right of the page. I am uncertain if iStudio will handle it since I am uncertain of he arrangement Apple has in your country. AppleCare should answer all you questions.

  • IPhone Home Button not responsive !!!

    Anyone having similar problem? I have tried restoring with the thought that it could be due to the Operating System missing the interrupt. Anyone managed to make it responsive again? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Look like that is my only option. Haiz.... Apple should not have relied on the Home Button as the only exit action for the applications. Taking into consideration that every mechanical parts has a lifespan and on average if one presses on the Home Button 30 times/day, how long do you think the button can remain responsive? And when the time comes for repair, the warranty is already long over. Apple should have provide a soft option to exit the applications (eg. through certain gesture)

  • Home Button Non-responsive

    The Home Button on my touch does not work. Stopped working same day I upgraded to 2.1, coincidence? Fixes?
    The first questions I had when I got it new: Why is there a mechanical button on a touchscreen device? Why can't I just go between modes with an icon on the screen?

    if softreset or restore of firmware dont help i'd suspect
    it's a hardware issue which would require fixing
    about why there is a home button rather then a on screen button
    i guess is it's a quick way to exit applications which an area on
    the touch screen would not really be would likely be the bane

  • Open Firefox Google option has gone, I hit home button the response The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.I cannot open PDF files. Has happened several times and then get rid of firefox and Adobe and reload it. Works for a while then crashes again

    What other details are needed?

    It may be that your hard drive is either failing again or that the hard drive bay SATA cable may need replacing. And if you're getting a "Service Battery" anyway it's probably best to take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and get a free diagnosis and estimate for repair. I would specifically ask that the SATA cable be tested so that you can tick that off the list of culprits.
    Good luck,

  • Why my iphone5 home button goes unresponsive sometimes

    You can try here.  However, if you iPod is within warranty I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Home button has stopped responding?

    I have had a 4th generation iPod touch for a little less than a year now, and recently updated it to iOS 5.0.1. Around the same time, my home button stopped responsing 95% of the time - to exit an app or really do anything I have to rapidly press the button for about a minute until it will respond. I do remember dropping it around the same time, so I was thinking it was simply that the button sensor underneath had shifted and I would have to take it in to be repaired, but after a little googling I tried quitting all the apps on my iPod and the home button started responding as normal for about thirty minutes before becoming unresponsive once more. Now I'm thinking it's a software issue instead. Any thoughts on what it could be and how I could fix it?

    Since it is still under warranty I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone in Recovery Mode + Lock and Home Buttons Stopped Working

    Hello
    Following an update to IOS7 my wifes Iphone 5 restarted and entered recovery mode. I performed a restore in itunes however the device reset and re-entered recovery mode. I performed this serval times.
    After downloading a program online which exited the recovery mode for me, i was able to restore my wifes iphone backup with all settings restored etc. So its more or less working.
    However i still have the following new problems:
    1. Home Buttons not responsive
    2. Lock Button not responsive
    3. Silent and Volume Buttons Okay.
    4. After powering off via the accessbility menu, the recovery mode apears again.
    Can anyone help me resolve this fault? The phone keeps entering recovery

    Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Looks like the warranty road is the one I'll have to take...
    The place I bought it off said it was coming from Australia but I tracked the parcel and it actually got shipped from Hong Kong...
    Do the 920's come with manufacturers warranty at all? I don't know how to check if I have warranty haha

  • Home Button Sometimes Unresponsive in certain angles.

         Hi, I'm Ariv. This is regarding my Ipod Touch 4 generation. My home button was fine from the first day i got it ( 7th of April 2012 ) until 2 weeks ago. Now my home button is sometimes not responsive or can only be pressed in certain angles. While i was exploring the answer to the problem myself, i found this forum    ( http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/37013/how-can-i-make-my-ipod-touch-home -button-more-responsive ) which say that Apple will replace the iPod Touch because it is faulty- I AM AWARE THAT IT IS NOT AN OFFICAL APPLE FORUM. Well, i just want to confirm that is this a known problem and WOULD Apple replace my product for free or not because the Ipod Touch 4th generation is old. I hope Apple will replace THIS Ipod Touch because it was my birthday present. Thanks in advance for anyone answering or responding to this question. Thank you very much.

    I am not aware of an out-of-warranty program for that problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discuss it with them.

  • Unlock screen not responsive after pressing Home button

    Usually when I lock my phone, I can press the Home button to turn the screen on so it can be swiped and unlocked. But recently I have had to hit the Home button multiple times for the screen to appear, sometimes it does not appear at all (I have to press the lock button to turn on the screen). Other times I have to press the button multiple times and what looks like iPod controls appear at the top of the screen, even though the phone is locked.
    Can anyone shed some light on this or a possible solution?

    Hmm ... odd I've not seen it, since I had the original iPhone for two years before going to the 3GS on June 19.
    There are some that do not believe that this sort of problem could/can exist, especially on the iPhone, but it is also an age-old computer issue regardless of who the manufacturer/vendor might be. That is why the power off button on computers was always called the "international reset" button.
    Perhaps that's why I've not seen it. I make it a practice to cycle (restart) my MacBook and PCs after they've been in Standby/Sleep/Hibernate for some length of time. And I've always powered my iPhones off and back on every few days.

  • Is there a way to answer the 5c without swiping? It really is a pain and hard to do at times one handed. Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push

Maybe allow favorites to be answered with a click of the home button or possibly all calls with a home button push. First smart phone I have owned and the old flip phone was much easier to answer.....just press one button.

  • New ipad 2 home button is not responsive

    I got a refurbished ipad 2 from apple store and when i open the ipad at home, i see the iPad 2 home button is not so responsive. I tried resetting but it didnt work.
    Do i need to take it apple store or return back.

    Exactly the same i got a replacement Ipad 2 weeks before my warranty ran out,after about a week of working perfect the home button starting playing up. I inserted the power cord into the bottom and pulled up on it slightly so it pushes up on the home button and it has worked perfect all week until last night,so i did it again and its fine again but for how long? If it does it again im going to return it again as you get 90 days warranty on the replacement,it must be a hardware issue.

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the iPhone User Guide (Appendix B):
    Restart
    Reset
    Restore from backup
    Restore as new
    If the last step doesn't help, there is a hardware problem with the home button.  Take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your location.
