Please help
your kind attention and feed is highly apprecited!
Thank you
Joanne

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.

Ipad mini home button

i bought an ipad mini, but the home button feels weird.... I actually can feel it when I slide my finger at the bottom. it is sticking up. is this a problem, flaw, issue?
anyone else?

Sounds like you either damaged the Home button in the repair of the screen or you missed plugging something in...it could be any number of things.
If you want, you can try and enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device, including the Home Button. It may be able to return the Home Button's *function* to the device via AssistiveTouch's on-screen virtual button, but it won't *fix* the hardware Home Button.
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If 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 if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning. 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.

It's still covered by Apple's 1 year warranty. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

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.

IPad mini home button replacement cost?

I'm out of warranty , how much is the cost to change the home button on an iPad mini and the time it takes to repair

I would assume that the Home button replacement would fall under Apple's fixed repair rate of $199 (out of warranty)
https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/other/
In the interim of replacing your Home button, you can use AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device, including the Home button.
I personally use AssistiveTouch all the time, just to prevent wear and tear on my Home button...I seldom use the actual hardware Home button...you can even do a device reset (press & hold both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for ~15 seconds) using the AssistiveTouch button if your Home button is bad (but not if your Sleep/Wake button is bad).
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If 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 if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning. 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.

IPad Mini Screen is not functioning correctly

so recently i took my ipad mini into the car and its pretty hot in there, but not as hot as to make you break a sweat- just pretty clammy. my ipad was charged around 70-80% and i put the brightness all the way up so i could see the screen display. This worked for a while, until i opened an app and the ipad suddenly shut off- or at least the screen went black. I tried to restart it and held down on the power button for 10+ seconds. I couldnt see anything, so i figured i would need to charge it- but it was more than halfway charged so this really confused me.
Then i started searching online- a couple of people on a few forums had the same problem- i tried holding both the home and power button for 10 seconds- nothing happened. I tried smacking my ipad (like what the forum said) and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to itunes and i heard the charging noise. Then finally, i went into a dark room and used a flashlight to angle at it and i could see the screen only faintly- the sounds work- i hear the keys click and My email and messages being recieved but the screen is just too dark to be even slightly noticeable in natural light. I tried working with the brightness but no matter where i slid it- it stayed the same. I can really only play music but that would still take a hassle to set up. All my other apps work but i am not able to use them because of how dim the screen is. I use my ipad for everything- school, digital art, the works... any suggestions?

Try resetting it again. HOld down the sleep and home for 10-20 seconds or so, until you see the silver apple. See if it reboots.
if that doesn't help, then you may want to look into restoring your device

If that doesn't work then it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have the techs check it out

IPad mini home button loose

I received an iPad mini for Christmas. Using it last night I feel the home button slightly moving a bit if my thumb moves back and forth on it, as if it is loose a bit. Is this normal?

It may be normal, but without being able to test it myself I can't say. The home button on my iPad (not a mini) does have a bit of play to it. If you are concerned, make an appointment ot take the iPad to an Apple Store, if there's one in your area, and have them check it out. Or visit an iPad dealer and check out how other iPad minis feel.
Regards.

IPad Mini Home button - Film?

On the iPad Mini is there a screen/film protector over the home button? Because I've noticed a small blemish on the home button and don't want to try and peel something off that isn't there.
Cheers

Mine did not have a film protector on the home button

My iPad mini home button doesn't work all the time

When I click the home button on my ipad, it doesn't do anything. If I try a few more times then it will work once or twice. But not all the time.

2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. as soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is force quit to the home menu

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 Mini Home Button Broken

My daughters ipad was bought in November 2012 and the home button has broken, when I say broken its not frozen or anything it simply doesn't click. Now I know that its out of warranty but this is defective hardware in my opinion, anyone know if they'll replace it? We've got two iPhones, three iPads and two iPods and this is the first incident of its kind.

If it has been like it since you bought it, you should have taken it back. If it is still in warranty, take it back, if it is not, there is little you can do except to pay for an out of warranty repair.
