HT201412 My iphone's home button is not responding when I press it. I sometimes have to press it several times before it works or it just doesn't work at all. Any advise?

My iphone's home button doesn't always work. I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen. Many times this doesn't work and I just give up. It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day. I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped. Any suggestions?

Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

Then take it back! If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty. If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period. If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else. There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

Bring it in for replacement.

Home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it

home button is not responding on iPAd even after restoring it?

Fma26-
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If the Apple logo never appears, you may have a broken button. If your iPad is less than a year old and still in warranty. Apple should repair or replace it. If it is convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius. Otherwise, look for a nearby Authorized Apple Repair Center.

Phone 4 home button does not work, iPhone 4 home button does not work

Phone 4 home button does not work. I tried to put it off and on, but to no avail. Tried updating, still nothing.

No magic solutions for a hardware problem. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for replacement ($149), or find a 3rd party to fix your phone (which will forfeit all future support on that phone, warranty or otherwise, from Apple)

The home button is not responding

I have an iphone 4. I have done a restore, I've used the restart method of holding the sleep button and home button and have been able to get it to work again. Now the home button isn't responding at all for a restart. My phone is just over a month past it's warranty. Any ideas?

Reset Home Button Steps:
(1) Tap Settings App, when open:
(2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
(3) Don't slide it, release power button.
(4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
(5) Done.
If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.
