HT201401 Home button too sensitive

One of our iPhones' home buttons seems sensitive, like it's always being pressed. So the voice control might turn on, music might start playing. If the off button is pressed, sometimes instead of turning off the phone, a picture will be taken.

"was facing the same problem too. Found this post and it did the trick:

Home button not sensitive

Hi,
Have anybody encounter thier iPhone4 home button not sensitive anymore.
It means i have to press very hard in order the Home button can function.
I have tried to restart the phone but still the same.
It should be the hardware problem right?
Any advice.
Regards,
Benyamin

i had this exact problem, i backed up my iphone and then took it to my local Apple store, who replaced it free of charge( 6 days out of warranty)

Buttons too sensitive

After the latest update, the buttons on the screen of the phone while telephoning are far too sensitive. For instance, it goes to Facetime acccidently by being too near to my cheek/ear. Is there some way to make the buttons less sensitive? Thank you

Hello there Dr. Dave,
It sounds like your proximity sensor is not turning the screen black to prevent buttons from being pressed. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the issue persists, I would next close 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

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Mighty Mouse's side buttons too sensitive...

Hi there,
Every two seconds, the fonction of the side button gets activated because I press them by mistake... It's been two weeks and I still hit them by mistake.
How do I make the Mighty Mouse's side buttons less sensitive?
Thanks!
Chris.

for me it's actually static that makes the side buttons operate all on their own just if my hand is barely touching. i don't have this problem when i'm on tile flooring with my new iMac, but in my bedroom on carpet, the mouse and computer act weird becasue of dry climate and static. if i keep my hand on the metal base of the imac i have no problems. as soon as i remove my hand, problems. i'm now working on grounding my computer but that hasn't worked yet. i need to be de-static in some way i think.

Mute button too sensitive

The mute button is so sensitive it renders the phone useless. I would like to disable it but am told I cant. I have done a complete reset with Apple tech support more often than you have changed socks. Also, the blue dot that shows your progress on the maps applications works about 1 time in 3. This is my second iPhone 4 the first one had so many problems it was absurd. Is there anyone here that has found a fix for these problems?

It is supposed to mute when you touch it with your finger. It is not supposed to mute when a single ear hair touches it. This is an issue that Apple was going to fix but they admit it hasnt been done yet.
welcome to the iPhone 4 Proximity Sensor Issues Club
300+ pages about this starting here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475509
Cliff Notes:
Proximity Sensor doesn't work properly for many people causing uncommanded face-dialling, face-muting, face-facetiming, face-hanging-up etc whilst on calls.
Some unsubstantiated debate as to whether this issue is fixed in iOS 4.1 (release date as yet still unknown)

Is there an iOS fix coming for home button issue

Is there an iOS fix for the home button losing sensitivity ? I have already done a reset, and the rue calibration procedure using power button and home button

I was replacing my iphone 4 home button and while i was trying to take the ribbon off i pulled too hard and the part where you connect it broke so now i cant put it on, will i be able to get a replacement or not?

So I opened my whole iPhone 4 up and I was trying to replace the home button as it got worn out so when I tried taking the ribbon off, I pulled a bit too hard and then the whole thing just broke so now I cant even connect the ribbon anymore. So is there a way that I could replace it or not?

No one here works for or represents Apple, thus no one here can definitively answer your question. Out of warranty replacements require the phone, you're replacing, be in one piece. Generally, when you perform surgery yourself, you void the ability to take advantage of an out of warranty replacement.
Put everything back together, make an appointment at an Apple store & hope for the best.
Good luck.

TS1538 I plugged in my iPad into my computer, I did the "hold the power button, then the home button simultaneously" stuff to try to downgrade my iPad. But I forgot that my compiter had a virus, but it was too late. My iPad won't come back on. What do I d

I plugged in my iPad to my Windows 8 computer via USB- 30 pin iPad 3 connector cable because I wanted to downgrade my iPad for a reason. I did the method where you completely shut off your iPad, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then simultaneously hold down the home button and the power button, etc. I forgot that my computer had a virus that my dad was about to remove, but it was already too late. The apple "boot-up" sign disappeared like right when I released the button, and my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore. It has been about an hour now, and it still doesn't work. Do you guys think that I have any chanceof waking up my iPad ever again?

What do you mean by "downgrade my iPad for a reason"? You cannot downgrade an iOS device.
A virus on the computer should not affect your iPad unless it has been jailbroken, it has no access to the operating system otherwise.
Clean up the computer, then do a reboot of the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, you will have to restore it using the recovery mode, instructions for doing that are found in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5.

My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. Also when my finger barely rubs over the lock button, it shuts off too. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5. Someone help me. I just want to fix this. Maybe if it's possible I can disable the lock button.

The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

Sensitive home button

Hello,
My new white 32G ipad2 has a very sensitive home button / frame.
It randomly jump back to the 'Home Screen' whenever I touch the frame of the ipad.
Does anyone else have this problem ??
Benjamin
PS - I can confirm this is problem since I have a 2nd ipad2 in the house that does not magically jump around.

My first thought is - does some sort of sticky substance reside around the home button causing it it maybe stick at times and then when you press the bezel somewhere not near the home button it may just "pop" and take you back to the home screen?
If not try a reset - hold the sleep and home buttons down at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
