my home button will not work properly... I have to hold it down several times for it to go to the home screen

I would try a restore just to see if it could be something software related, but if that doesn't work I would recommend taking to an Apple Store to see if it is a serious hardware issue and if it is, assuming you're in warranty, then they would be able to replace your phone.

  • Audio not working properly in U410. Need to retry several times, and then it works

    Hi,
    I have an U410 with Win 8.1. I went throught the troubles upgrading to 8.1. Installed the Conexant driver 8.65.3.53, and then de Dolby Gui.
    However, when I want to: listen to music, see a film with WMP, or see a youtube video, the sound doesn't work and hence, the video doesn't start. If I click retry (or reload the web page) several times, in the end it starts working.
    Any clues??
    Thanks

    It seemed that the AUDIODG.EXE memory leak issue was unrelated but...It showed crashin in the event log, and the solution for such service has sorted my sound problem
    Disable the sound enhancements:

    And problem resolved.
    But this is still a fix, not the solution.

  • I phone 3gs home button is not working properly

    Hi Folks..
    From the last few days my I phone 3GS is giving me a hard time.. Its HOME BUTTON is not working properly. Have to press it 2-3 times and have to press it hard to make it work. I am now running 5.1 iOS, it had the same problem with 5.0.1 iOS too. Can you suggest me what to do??? Do i need to take it to the service centre????

    I've just noticed this too, after updating my 3GS to iOS 5.1.  It seems to be happening off and on, but it is more of a problem when the phone has set locked and idle for a few minutes.
    I usually wake it from sleep with the power button, unlock it, and wait for the ability to use the home button.
    It might be worth it to take it to the Genius Bar or at least try to live chat with Apple Customer Service.
    I feel your pain.

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • I updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this

    i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Intermittent problem- send or comment buttons will not work- Reboot only sometimes fixes- does not happen in IE

    Recently I have found that when in FB- the 'send' or 'comment' buttons do NOT work. I have also just found that the X along side a post - to get the dropdown to hide, etc- does not work either.
    I have logged of and back on. I have closed firefox and restarted. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. and then restarted firefox. Nothing works. It seems like this happened a few times and when I came back to the computer after several hours, it was ok. Most of the time I have to reboot.
    While this is happening, some other functions work fine. For instance, if I click on HOME or PROFILE it works. Only seems to be the 'buttons'.
    What's making me really crazy is that it is intermittent! And when it happens, if I open IE (ugh) it works fine.
    Only fixes found at FB are to clear cache, cookies, etc. which I have already stated do nothing at all. Any ideas?

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • My 'Menu' button will not work. How can I fix this?

    The menu button will not work.
    Is there anything I can do myself to fix this problem?
    It works occasionally, but mostly does not work.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly

    After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly I push the button many times and after many failed attempts it locks and sometimes not. I had to use the accesibility tool to lock it manually from the screen, this is really annoying.

    I guess it is.
    Do you have a question, or are you just sharing your experience with us?

  • HT1695 Slide button will not work to turn on the wifi?

    I cannot connect to wifi which I need to back up my phone as the slide button will not work on this setting only

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.
