My middle button seems stuck and won't respond. Help?

My middle button for the iPhone 3GS seems stuck or sticky and won't respond. Voice control keeps popping up because the iPhone thinks I am pushing the middle button to make it do the voice control. Any advice on what to do?

stoughie,
I'm sorry to hear that your phone is having data and power issues. That's never awesome! smashogre had a great tip, too. I hope it has worked for you. If not, I do recommend an alternative reset to return the phone to the factory settings. If after these steps, it still isn't functioning properly, please direct message me so I can assist you further.
Thank you,

Home button is stuck and wont click at all

Every time i try to use my **** home button it wont do anything and its been happening all day >.<

The botton should have a definite click to it when depressed whether an original iPad or the latest model, if there is no click then it sounds like the botton is stuck/damaged. If stuck it may still have an impact on the volume even if you adjust it in Settings>Sounds.
Regards,
Steve

Phone App's "End Call" button sometimes hangs and won't press!

Ever since the 1.4 update, about 1/4 of the time, when I'm trying to end a call, the screen does not react to my finger/button press and it won't end the call! I've also found a few times that it won't press a button (e.g. #1) on a call as well.
This is a CRITICAL problem.

Hello all;
I haven't experienced this myself, however are you able to flick the phone card off the screen with no delay? Does this happen when receiving a call while you're doing something else (tweeting, playing a game, etc)? Does it happen on outgoing calls as well? How about while using a headset (wired or Bluetooth) or speakerphone? Also, so far on this thread, I only see Sprint Pre's with this issue. Any Verizon Pre Plus users see this? How about on a Pixi (either flavor)?
Need some more information for troubleshooting, may also be beneficial to call technical support from a landline phone.
Hope this helps,

I can answer a few of these but not all:
-It occurs even when it is the only app open (frequently).
-It occurs on incoming calls, outgoing calls, and voicemail calls.
-It occurs while using the phone's earpeice, speakerphone, and while using a headset (plugin, not bluetooth, I don't own a bluetooth unit).
-Essentially, I haven't ended a call *without* this 4-6 second delay a single time since before webOS 1.4.0, and it occurs under a wide range of usage conditions.

My iPhone 4 lock button is stuck and Ive had my phone for over a year. What do I do.

My iPhone 4 lock/home button is stuck and I'm out of warranty. How much will it cost to fix the button cause I have no other problems. Or will they cover it because people were saying it's a defect?

I was able to pay someone to replace the button completely for much less than what Apple wanted.
Here's a link to the place I had it done:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/fix-my-phone-sf-san-francisco
I can understand why Apple has a 1 year warranty, but I believe a busted power button constitutes a design flaw and thus is defective (much like the iBook logic board from 2003 we had to sue them over).

If Apple wasnt the biggest and most profitable company in the world, and instead the nice little apple I used to know, I'd have more sympathy.

My Ipod 4g home button is stuck!

My ipod home button is stuck and i really dont wanna have to take it to the store i just went there in the spring to replace my first one. i cant get it unstuck ive tried blowing in it and pushing it down really hard and then releasing it fastly but to no avail it rarely responds now and its driving me insane. any suggestions?

Tried the alcohol for a couple of days and it was only temporary fix.
To get a home button on your screen, go to Settings--> General-->Assistive Touch, under Settings/General /Accesability...
That will give you a little button on your screen that acts as a home button.

My ipod touch home button is stuck?

my home button is stuck and i cant actually press it at all. Know how to fix it?

I workaround is to use assistive touch. You can turn that on in settings.
Settings > General > Accessibility > Physical and Motor > Assistive touch ON

My home button gets stuck

My home button gets stuck and some days it wont work at all what shall i do?

My home button is not repsonsive, I have booked it at the Genuis Bar to be look at as it it still under waranty, but until then there is a way of adding a virtual button that allows you to bypass the home button. Thought I would share this with you all, as after looking everywhere on the internet I havn't found anyone mention it.
First make sure you are on version 5
got to SETTING>GENERAL>ACCESSIBILITY>ASSISTIVE TOUCH
You will then have a button on the bottom right hand corner screen that is always there (you can move it around if its in the way). Pressing it will allow you to go to the home screen.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
I also have tried to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset?

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
