[iPhone 3GS] Home button doesn't work on new phone

After half a day new iPhone 3GS stopped working properly.
Home button doesn't respond. It works only when I plug iPhone to the computer.
Voice cotrol runs by himself unexpectadly.
iPhone 3GS with preinstalled iOSx 5.0.1. Should I update to the new 5.1 or downgrade to the 4.0 version?

If it were me, I would return it for a replacement.  Also, you can only upgrade the iOS, not downgrade.

  • IPhone 3GS home button doesn't work.

    I have to turn phone completely off then back on to get back to main menu screen and use different functions/apps.   It doesn't appear to be "stuck"; it just doesn't register anything when pressed.  Any ideas?

  • Our iphone 4 3gs home button doesn't work well and the phone jumps out of apps

    Over the last few months our iphone has been acting funny.  Sometimes the home button doesn't work.  Sometimes we are in an app and we are jumped into another.  What do we do to fix this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Iphone 5 home button doesn't work

    I've had my iPhone 5 for over a year now and the home button was working on and off. Now the home button does not work at all. Can I get a new iphone if the home button doesn't work??

    You should have contacted AppleCare or made an appointment at an Apple Store when the Home button was working on and off while the iPhone remained under warranty and at least had it checked by Apple before the warranty expired.
    If no longer under warranty, doubtful it will be exchanged under warranty now but maybe Apple will make an exception in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • IPhone 4 home button doesn't work after upgrading to IOS 7

    After upgrading to IOS 7 today, my home button stopped working. Just curious if anyone has experienced this? It worked at for a few hours, then all the sudden it stopped. Maybe it just randomly broke. I've never had an issue before today. Thanks for the help.

    Well, it just, randomly, started working. I didn't do anything.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

  • My iPhone died and wont turn back on. My home button doesn't work to reboot it.

    It died last night and I put it on the charger and nothing happens not even the battery symbol comes up. I do have the iOS 7. I can't restart it because my home button doesn't work and i have to use assistive touch. It won't show up on itunes when i tried to plug it in. It's not the charger because it works on my other i-devices. I have an iphone 4.

    If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
    If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IOS 5.1 Update, Home Button Doesn't Work.

    Ever since I installed the iOS 5.1 update on my iPhone 4, the home button does not work at all! I've tried every trouble shooting solution I could find. I've Restarted, I can't hard reset because the home button doesn't work, I've restored from back up, I've restored as new, I've vacuumed out and gently used a tooth brush in the port below the home button in attempt to remove any dust. I've tried opening a factory installed app such as Maps, Safari, Stocks etc and held the top button until the "Slide to power off" showed and then held down the home button until it went to home screen except it didn't go to the home screen at all the "slide to power off" disappeared after a while. I have extremely intermittent response with the Home Button. If i press it continuously it will work after 27 presses one time or 9 presses another but never when I try to do a hard reset and 9.999 times out of 10 it doesn't work. I am so frustrated! I didn't get it wet and it stopped working immediately after the software update. HELP!

    I talked to Apple today and was told that it's a "hardware issue" and they will not fix it. I will have to pay 169.00 to have it repaired because it is no longer covered. He told me that "the software update triggered a hardware problem" and that they haven't heard of this issue before either and this was after he went and "spoke with a senior service advisor". The thing is that if THEIR software update triggered the "hardware problem" meaning that if I hadn't updated at all my phone would be in perfect working order right now then HOW IS THAT NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE?! I am beyond livid. I cannot continue using my phone with assistive touch, NOTHING else works and I know this isn't the first time they've heard of it because how can so many people be having this problem and Apple NOT be aware of it?!  My family has bought three MacBooks, three MacBook Pros, one iPad, two iPad 2s, seven iPhone 3s, one iPhone 3GS, five iPhone 4s, two iPhone 4S, four Apple TVs, one Time Capsule and COUNTLESS versions of iPods and have never had an issue having any of them repaired and only four of those products had to be and it was a fast and hassle free...then again they all were covered still at the time of repair...
    How do you restore to a previous firmware? I don't want a new phone...I want MY phone to work...the one that worked perfectly before their update....this is beyond ridiculous...I wish apple would take a look at their own support communities and see that this ISN'T our problem...it's a problem created by THEM.

  • IPhone 3GS Home Button Issue - iPhone Thinks Home Button Is Always Pushed

    Alright, this isn't the normal(home button doesn't work) question. Listen...
    Customer brought this iPhone 3GS in to replace the non-working home button. Before I did I tested it with a working screen assembly(obviously including a new home button) and it DIDN'T work. So I replaced the dock connector and speaker/mic assembly(where the home button makes it's connection. And that still doesn't work.
    I have figured out now that the problem is NOT that the iPhone doesn't recognize the push of the home button but instead it thinks that the home button is always being pushed. When hold the power button(only) the iPhone will restart(which requires home+power).
    Since I've tried replacing the home button and the dock connector is this problem with the logic board?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    HI iFixItMan,
    I have the same problem andmine was stuck in a recovery loop and it took me about 7 hours to get workingsoftware, now I have the phone fully working the home button has no functionwhen in phone mode, I have soft reset when in phone mode and the home buttonworks (resets phone) - Power + Home button pressed together)).
    The home button also works whenthe screen is lifted from the connector for DFU mode and soft reset; I’mthinking there are two connections made to the logic board one for system(software reset and DFU) and one for phone connection.
    Not changed the dock or thescreen assembly due to thinking which part I need to buy :/, don't want to keep buying parts then having to keep them if they don't work
    Thanks again

  • HT4623 my home button doesn't work?

    My home button doesn't work. I have to turn my phone completely off to get to a different app

    Apple would handle this with Replacement iPhone 4 for $149. The repair part is the Home Button flex cable a $2 part. It is a difficult repair because most of the iPhone needs to be taken apart including removing the front screen to get to the Home Button flex cable.
