  • How can I fix the home button on a phone that doesn't have a working power button?

    My girlfriends phone was fine then all of a sudden the home button don't work and we knew the power button doesn't work but I need help trying to fix the home button?

    Make a backup, then restore it as new, via iTunes.
    If that fails, then contact Apple to get the device serviced/replaced.

  • When I double click Home button, all of my apps don't show in the bar -- only the four that reside there. Did a reset last night to fix the Home button (it sort of works now) but now this. Any ideas on why I can't do the fast app switch now?

    When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?

    My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active.  The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active.  Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first.  As a test, try accessing the Notes application.  Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE.  Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.  The Notes app should be on the far left.

    How to fix the signal on my iphone 4?

    you have a bad signal ?  dropping connections ?  go to settings.  then general.  and reset your network settings.  test from there.  this will reset any wifi connections you may have setup already btw.  you will have to connect to them again and put in the encryption key if needed.  if that doesn't work.  backup your phone.  wipe it to factory.  then test the signal then.  if all is ok then restore you files back to it and try again.  hopfully all that helps.

  • HT2188 How can I fix the home button on my iPod touch?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is about almost 2 years old. I've never dropped it on a hard surface like concrete or hardwood floors, just a few times on my carpet. It's never been scratched, never had water damage or anything like that. It's in pretty good condition, and runs pretty smoothly, except my home button doesn't work!
    I know several people with the same iPod who have similar problems - their home button doesn't work. When I'm in an app, like the Music app, and I hit the home button to get back to my home screen, it doesn't work.
    I've looked it up on the internet - I've seen several videos on YouTube (like turning the iPod off, entering an original app like Weather or Notes and then holding the lock button down until the "slide to power off" button came up, and then holding the home button down until it went away to 'calibrate' the home button, and locking my iPod and then clicking the lock screen and home button at the same time - which worked for me a few times, but after like a day or two, the button stopped working) and I've also Googled it and heard that rubbing alcohol on a q-tip would clean any gunk out from underneath the home button. I've never tried the alcohol one out of fear that I'd really ruin the button.
    I've also read that there might be dust under there or gunk that should be cleaned by a professional...
    But my dad says that it's too tight of an area around the button for anything to get lodged under there. I am currently updating the iPod to iO5 or whatever the new update is to see if it makes any difference.
    I'm just trying this forum as a last result to see if there is anyone out there with a similar problem that has fixed it themselves to quell the problem permanently. If not, then I suppose I'll be forced to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can fix it.
    I did have the 1 year warranty, but alas, I did not start having these problems until recently.

  • Does anybody know if the iPhone 5 fixes the home button problems?

    I'm still using my iPhone 4, having skipped the iPhone 4S too. But I'm a bit hesitant about upgrading. The new "taller" form factor doesn't seem especially thrilling to me.
    But mainly, I'm always concerned about quality issues in the iPhone.
    For example, on my iPhone 4 I've had "home button" issues. After a certain number of months the home button starts acting weird and single presses often act like double-presses, which is really irritating.
    I had my originally iPhone 4 exchanged by Apple when they saw that happening. But then 7 months later the same thing started happening with the exchange unit they sent me, and I'm stuck with that now. So this seems like a design issue.
    Has this problem been fixed with the iPhone 5? Nobody knows because Apple doesn't talk about stuff like that.

    CoasterFanFL: Sounds like a similar issue. I suspect the spring inside just isn't properly designed to last a long time. I wonder if the iPhone 4S had the same issue. That would be indicative of whether the addressed the issue or not.
    Bandit: This problem typically doesn't start showing up for 6 or 7 months of use. It's annoying to have to buy AppleCare to take care of what is apparently a design flaw. Also, even with AppleCare if I had my iPhone exchanged a 2nd time the same thing would happen again in another 6 months. So it's money down the drain!
    I wish Apple had gone with a non-hardware haptic feedback soft button, like they do on many Android phones. Less hardware to break!
    Thanks,

    Hi cwether9!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue. The article is all about iPhone hardware troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically, the section you will want to reference is right here:
    Buttons and Switches
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Does the home button of iPhone 5 stop working over a period of time?

    I'd purchased an iPhone 4 when it was released. After using it for 8 months the home button had stopped working. Then i found out that its a common problem in the iPhone 4. Is it the same with Iphone 5?

    I've never had a problem with any iPhone I've had, nor has anyone I know.  But being a mechanical device, parts are going to break.  That's why there's a warranty.

  • How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.

    Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

    what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not.
    it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before.
    also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons?
    to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.
