Home key not working iOS6

Home key was working w/5 OS update, from the upside down iOS4, then w/the iOS6 now the home key only works when the phone is upside down again >:(

In case your problem is not hardware related, here's a way to recalibrate your home button. Hope it helps!!
Open a stock iOS app (Weather, Stocks, Clock, etc.). Once the app is open, press your iPhone’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!

Droid Home key not working, along with other things.

Recently, my Droid's Home key and Search key quit working. My passcode lock on the main screen won't work, its like its been disabled, but thats not the case. Also, when I power off the phone, I only get the option to turn it off, all the other options have disappeared. Finally, the phone won't ring. It will announce text messages, emails, and voicemails, but no calls come through. I've called the phone numerous times from other phones, and it rings 2-3 times and goes to my voicemail. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem maybe?
Also, when I take a picture with the phone and exit the camera and open up the gallery.....the pics aren't there that I just took. This sometimes takes a few minutes, or a few times until the next day. If I open the camera back up, and click on the last pic in the upper corner, I can see them fine, but they aren't in the gallery. Why is this? I've absolutely loved my Droid since I got it....but it sure seems to have become JUNK really quickly!!!! HELP!!!

Hi Randy,
I had this exact same problem. I called verizon about it and they shipped me a new phone. But since they decided they would ship it to me on a friday while im at work and I couldnt get it till Monday when I have a day off, I decided I would try something on my own.
What I did was backed up all my apps and contacts on my SD card and then placed all the files on my computer for safe keeping. (you know...just in case) The I decided I would do a factory restore on my phone (super easy)
first turn off the phone
The press and hold the X button on the qwerty keyboard and hold the power button at the same time
When you get the yellow triangle with the "!" let go of x and power and hold down the volume up button and the camera button. it should direct you to a menu where the 3rd options is to do the factory reset.
use the directional pad to select factory rest
choose the option that says yes
takes less than a minutes for it to go through the factory reset. once it is done you choose the first option on the menu where it says reboot. do that and then all you will have to do it re-set up your phone (entering email address, going through the activation, that kinda stuff). took maybe 5 minutes for me and it works for the most part. 2 days ago verizon made my name appear restricted and this reset hasnt been able to change that setting yet.
Home button should work, phone locks should work.....etc etc just like when you first got it. (if you recently installed 2.2 it should still be 2.2 after the reset)
Hope this helped

Home key not working

My home key is not working well. I have to push it numerous times to exit a page. I called Apple Care last night. Unfortunately, my support representative was more concerned with selling me an extended warranty than actually trying to help me. I even asked to speak to a manager and she refused. After much discussion she agreed to help me trouble shoot the problem, then my call dropped...which I was never called back though Skylar ( my representative) had my contact number. I called Apple care again, got another representative (this one a little more sane than Skylar), she walked me through the process of re-setting my phone, which took the rest of the evening to re-load. After all of that, the home key is still not working properly. Thanks Apple. As I was told numerous times last night I will have to pay for a new phone, full price. I will buy another phone...but it won't be an Apple iPhone that's for sure.

I would still take it in to an Apple store, kindly explain your situation, especially your call before your warranty expired, and see what they can do. I wouln't be surprised at all if they replaced it.

Home key not working in JTextPane?

Hi all,
I have a very simple example with a JTextPane. I call the method:
pane.setPage("someHTMLPage.html");
to load the html page. When I'm editing the JTextPane and press the "home" key, the cursor disapears. This only happens on the first line of text, and if you then press the right arrow key, the cursor appears again. But you can't input any text in the JTextPane when the cursor has disapeared.
Is this a bug? Its a very simple example I'm using, so I can't see it being my code thats introducing the issue.
any help?
thanks,
Justin

Home wifi not working ios6 on iphone 4

i installed ios6 on my i phone 4 and ever since i cannot log on to my home wifi- local pub wifi works fine but home no good
ive tried the proxy to auto fix and no joy,hard reset doesnt work. any clues when a 6.01 fix will come out.
very annoying -may have to go the Samsung route(i know i know but too many mistakes to often) ive been apple for ever

Goose, heads up... this is a user to user forum... I point this out, because your threat to go to samsung will not ever be seen by anyone associated with Apple. AND the users here, with the knowledge to help you, will not when they see something to do with anything other than Apple products...
You need to trouble shoot your phone and router. Perhaps, you are running on a security path with your router thats no longer supported by apple. Update your security settings to WPA2 if possible. you will see an increase in speed. on your phone, "forget this network" then reset network settings, and then restart your phone. SHould be your fix.

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
And you are using iTunes 10.7?
I'm just trying to help get you going.

Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas,
I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

Sound key not working

volume key not working ofter last update

Hello Amandodsouza,
It sounds like you are experiencing some unexpected behaviour with the on screen keyboard after updating to iOS 7.1.1. I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

HP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa windows key not working

About 3 weeks after I got myHP Pavilion x2 11-h003sa 11.6" 2 in 1 - Laptop, the touch windows home key stopped working also touch keyboard vibration stopped. After looking I thought it was 8.1 so I used a recovery usb from HP no help still not working....tried shutting down with 10 second power still no joy, all drivers are upto date....anyone know how to fix it.

Hi @Jason4771 , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your WIndows home key stopped working, and the vibration has stopped on the keyboard. I have not found a specific way to disable/enable the vibration, so if you are unable to locate such a setting in your keyboard settings, I suspect you may have a hardware issue.
I recommend you contact phone support for more options:

My volume key not working volume increase automatically, how to mute all audio

my volume key not working, volume increase automatically if i go to audio settings i can adjust, but again volume increase automatically , how to mute all audio

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comeback again?
If this does not boring back a working volume control, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still no luck, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.
