My home button seems to have started giving problems. The problem is it simply stops functioning. Is there any reason or is there a quick way to solve it?

Sorry I am referring to iPad 2, iOS8.2

Try calibrating the home button.
Open a stock app like Calendars or Notes.
Hold the power button until the red slider switch appears.
When it appears release the power button and press the home button until the home screen appears.
Hopefully your home button now works.

Back and home buttons not functioning

Hi,
A few days ago, I noticed that the back button on my Lumia 920 failed to respond at times and I'd have to use the home button to escape out of whatever I was doing. Then yesterday, both the back and home buttons failed to work. The search button is still functioning but the phone isn't really usable as the only way to exit an app is to turn the phone off.
I did a power cycle, a hard reset, and then I returned the phone to factory settings, which put it in a "gears" situation for about 6 hours until I finally got it to boot up again. That didn't fix the button issue.
Nokia says, since I had the screen locally replaced several months ago, the phone is no longer under warranty. They wil not repair it at their service center in Texas and my only recourse is to send it to Palco.
I spoke to Palco and they are unable to give me any information as to whether the phone is repairable. They just want me to spend money to send it to Alabama, give then $15 + shipping to diagnose it - they say it will take 5 - 10 days just to diagnose the problem. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks if I don't even know if it can be repaired. I'm angry that the only authorized repair center in the U.S. is in Alabama and they have no techs you can speak to on the phone. It's really the worst customer service I've ever seen.
Has anybody else ever experienced this issue? Were you able to get your phone repaired? I am going to see the guy that replaced the screen for me, but when I spoke to him on the phone he thought it was odd that 1 of the buttons still worked and wasn't at all convinced that he could fix it. He's never seen this problem before.
Thanks for any guidance,
HB

IPad home button not functioning?

I got my iPad 2 just a month ago and now the home button refuse to function properly. I used to press it hard with all my strenght before it can work. Please how can I solve this problem.

Home button calibration
1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
4. Hold until the red slider disappears.
If the calibration doesn't work try blowing air thru' the 40 pin docking port.

Home button not working on iPad 2 after iOS5.1.1

I got iPad 2 updated with ions 5.1.1
It worked fine for a week and now the home button does not work. I followed all posts here to reset, restore etc. but nothing helps. This is already a replacement iPad I got for my previous non functional iPad 2 which had battery issues, which apple swapped in store last week.
Any advice ?

Update -
Called apple support and did not get steps to try and was asked to visit apple store. Went to apple store and since the problem is intermittent they did nothing.
Now the problem is back.
Also, I notice there are lot of Low memory diagnostics logs which I thik may be leading to home button not working BUT that iOS should handle as part of memory management. I restarted iPad 2 and still memory issue/ home button not working which seems weird
I am really disappointed and not sure how to get this addressed.
Apple, please help!

IPod home button not working

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.

Ipad 3rd gen home button not working

any suggestions? The iPad is out of warranty. It has been not working for sometime. I've kept in clean, great codition. It is definitely a bug. I am annoyed that apple did not have a recall as I see many people having this same issue. I have an original 1st gen iPad that we use for a TV remote and there is never been an issue with the home button not responding.
PLease help!

Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning and you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device with the Sleep/Wake (power) button (since it's not functioning). To power on the device in this case, you will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.
