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.

  • Ipad mini home button not functioning

    Dear sir
    I am facing the problem on my ipad mini 32G home button
    The version should be ios 7
    When pressing the home button, it has no function at all. Please advise me what is the solution for it! if I press the power button, it has functioned, therefore I got no idea why the home button totally cant work as usual
    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 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 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.

    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.

    Calibrate Home button
    1. Open a stock application e.g. Calendar or Youtube
    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

  • 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.

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    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 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*.

  • New ipad 2 home button is not responsive

    I got a refurbished ipad 2 from apple store and when i open the ipad at home, i see the iPad 2 home button is not so responsive. I tried resetting but it didnt work.
    Do i need to take it apple store or return back.

    Exactly the same i got a replacement Ipad 2 weeks before my warranty ran out,after about a week of working perfect the home button starting playing up. I inserted the power cord into the bottom and pulled up on it slightly so it pushes up on the home button and it has worked perfect all week until last night,so i did it again and its fine again but for how long? If it does it again im going to return it again as you get 90 days warranty on the replacement,it must be a hardware issue.

  • I can't change my iPad Mini home screen wallpaper at all, not even a default. I can't change my lock screen either. Help! I'd rather not waste my time bothering with computer programs so please give me a SIMPLE solution if you can.

    How do I change my seemingly unfixable iPad Mini Home Screen and Lock Screen wallpapers?

    I tried that and that is what initially started this. I wanted a new wallpaper for my home screen and it didn't work so I reset it. The wallpaper is now zoomed in, I can't zoom it back out, and I can't change it to the new one I want. Plus, recently I had reset it and it stayed at the Appe logo and didn't move and I got scared that I'd never be able to use it again, I tried random things and it turned on again. I think I was just lucky so I don't want it to happen again. And yes I did look up how to fix it but it was really complicated so I just did what I mentioned.
