HT4528 home button unresponsive, load screen, speaker

my one year warranty just expired when all these problems started happening. i've treated my iphone 4 well. in the beginning of April my screen when it's on sleep like loads. it starts from the top of the screeen and loads very slowly all the way down. you know it's happening because it changes colors. then one of the speakers only work.. i don't know if it's suppose to be like that but yeah, also the home button takes 10 trys to get a response 90% of the time. is there any way to fix any of this. i got my iphone a year a 2 months or so ago. so the year warranty just expired. but i just found out Apple would take care of it, well remembered. had to many family problems going on to focus on it, but yeah. is there any way to fix it or get a new device? with all these problmes i'm thinking of getting away from apple. everything i own is apple electronice wise. this is ******* me off. help please.

You might wanna try a hard reset:
There is not such thing as a "hard reset" with the iPhone.
A reset is pressing and holding the home (there is no menu button) and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
For the OP, if basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new) fails to clear up the issues, then it's time to take the device to Apple for evaluation.
An Out of Warranty replacement in the US is $149 for the iPhone 4.

help me,daughter held down home button aqnd my screen is glowing, kida, where the back ground was black it is now white. its kinda like a backlight or something. how do i put it back to normal?

If the screen colours look like they've turned negative then try triple-clicking the home button - or go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn White on Black 'off' (and check/change what Triple-Click Home on the same Restrictions screen is set to).

Home button unresponsive after iOS 7.1 update (iPhone 5)

Hi,
I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 on Monday. But today (Thursday) my home button suddenly unresponsive. The phone had been working normally until now when I was on FaceTime and tried to view my home screen but couldn't.
Turning the phone off/on doesn't fix it. Once I turn off the phone and turn it back on, I can see the homepage and enter any app but I can't escape that app without shutting down the phone again.
Also, there is no damage to the phone/home button in any way (physical, water, etc.) I can't reset the phone because, you know, the home button won't respond.
How can I remedy this? Is anyone else having this problem?

I had the same problem and kept playing around with the phone and doing internet searches. This seems to have fixed the problem. I went to Settings, General, Accessibility and then Home-Click Speed. I changed from Default to Slow.

IPod Touch Home Button unresponsive

This only started to get bad Monday. It started to be finicky about Sunday. The button isn't stuck; "clicks" like it should when pressed but the device is entirely unresponsive unless it's pressed and held to get ANY response whatsoever. Very frustrating. When pressed, it goes down fully without much pressure like it should and comes back "up" when released.
I don't know what to do or what even caused this. It *almost* seems like a software issue, since I recently updated to 6-point-whatever iOS for the Touch 4 and that was pretty recently.
I'll try using canned air on the button itself this weekend if there happens to be any sort of dirt underneath it.

Ios 5 home button unresponsive

so i got my iphone 4 the day they came out here in canada and havent had a problem with it
shortly after updating to iOS 5 the home button started to become unresponsive. at first it was just once or twice a day and slowly got worse over time.
i took it in to a local apple store and they took it apart and cleaned it but were unable to resolve the issue they did help me set up assistive touch so i could at least get out of apps and back to the home screen.
the iOS 5.01 came out after installing it the problem went away completely for about a week and then started to reapper
I just did a backup/restore and hope that will help for the time being.
has anyone else had this problem and if so are there any solutions

My iPad 1 has the same problem,but it did in iOS4, too— affects both orientations, but sometimes one more than the other. (Which one is worse switches back and forth over time, though!) It started about one year in to owning the unit, maybe a little less.
Alarmingly, I found that if I applied some gentle pressure to the back of the iPad in a sort of "uneven" way (more pressure on one side than the other) it often fixd it for a while, until the next time I put it in my bag or leave it sitting for a while. Could it be a hardware issue, that you just happened to notice now because upgrading made you place the iPad in a certain way or press the home button a lot more in a short period of time while playing with it?

Apple iPad 3rd Gen home button unresponsive

Home button becoming unresponsive sometimes. Over a year old so no longer in warranty.
Will Apple replace or what can I do?
Only unresponsive sometimes but I fear it will get worse...

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.

Ipad2 Home button unresponsive

Hi,
In the past week I have noticed that when I press on the Ipad2 home button, it is unresponsive but only occationally. I sometimes have to press it over 5 times for it to exit to the Home screen. I have tried a hard reset as well as a normal ""turn off".
Anyone knows if this is a hardware or software issue? Anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks

I have the same issue. I have noticed that mine only does it when I am in the Mail application. Does yours do it in any other App?

Home button unresponsive due to Mail?

I've recently started to notice that my home button has been a little unresponsive. Sometimes a single click won't work at all and it takes a few tries to get it to quit an app. Someitmes two clickes does what one click is supposed to do, sometimes it just doesn't work the way it's supposed to. A firm double tap that is slightly spaced out seems to solve it, but here's the strangest thing that I discovered. I did a hard reset and it helped and everything was normal. Then I did a restore to a backup and it helped a little (I don't want to have to start over again with a fresh fresh install, I'll save it for iOS 5). I was experimenting quiting various apps to see what would happen, since it seems like it could help. Quiting out of intensive applications such as the app store or other apps that take up a lot of memory did nothing. What does fix it immediately is force quiting mail. I've tried it with the other Apple supplied applications and it did nothing. There are only two gmail accounts there so i'm not sure what could be the problem. Anyone else out there have this/heard of this/ have any advice?

Hi everyone,
I also had the same problem like less than a month after I purchased my iPad 2. I used to think that it was due to the iOS update to 4.3.x, as I got mine out of the box with the version prior to that, and didn't have problems before I updated.
However, it could also be that the home button pad had accummulated oil/dirt from our thumbs, which get in the way of it working properly.
Here's what I did:
1. Turned off my iPad2.
2. Wet my thumb with alcohol (not too wet, say a drop or two), and pressed down on the home button and rubbed the alcohol in in a circular motion. The idea is to let the alcohol break down the oil and dirt.
3. Wiped the home button thoroughly with a clean cloth (i dont recommend tissue or cotton as it might leave residue that could again 'clog' the inside perimeter of the home button.
Before I did that, my home button was responding in around 1 click out of 20-30 tries. After cleaning, the home button now responds in 9 out of 10 presses.
Let us know if you try and find that this works for you as well.

Home Button Unresponsive + Airplane Error Message

Hi, i'm looking for a bit of help. This morning I woke up grabbed my iphone from the docking station and it had a message saying that...
"This accessory is not made to work with the iphone" then asks if i want to switch to airplane mode. Even if i hit no, it comes back later even if its docked or undocked. On top of that, the home button is unresponsive at times, i have to press it about four or five times for it to work. I havent dropped the phone in a while, and its not damaged and I have the latest software. Ive tried turning it off and back on, and ive tried ressetting it.
Any Suggestions?

Make sure there is no lint or other foreign material in your iPhone's USB port. It may be a very small amount causing this problem.
If powering your iPhone off and on, and a Reset does not resolve it, the next step is a Restore. Be sure to sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before restoring to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
If a Restore does not resolve it, and there is no lint or foreign material found in your iPhone's USB port, give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
