Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue

the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists. 

Bring it in for replacement.

  • Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

    one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
    problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
    the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
    phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
    signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
    speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
    if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

    Then take it back!  If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty.  If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period.  If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else.  There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond

    I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
    The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?

    See:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

    I just received a new iPad 3.  The home button does not respond.  Any ideas?

    return it to have it checked for malfunction. Might be a transport defect . ( Although I never heard of such a severe case on brandnew Apple Hardware )

  • The home button does not respond. Help

    My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing was lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.

  • My home button does not respond most of the time. Is this a hardware failure?

    I've had quite a bit of difficulty with getting my home button to respond. Sometimes, the only way to get back to the home screen is to do a hard reset. I constantly close any open apps, thinking that this might be the problem (memory issue).
    Hoping you can help!
    Thanks!

  • My home button does not respond sometimes

    My home button on my iPhone 4 is unresponsive half the time. Help!

    This method worked for me once, but then my home button was physically not working correctly and i would have to put way more pressure on it to make it work. So i had to open it up myself and change the home button with a new part that i bought from amazon. The job isnt too hard with the power of patience and youtube.

  • Home button does not respond

    I have changed my homepage by going into options and by dragging to the home button. When I click on my "home" button (the little house under the word "bookmarks", nothing happens. It just started doing this recently.

    Sounds hardware-related. A restore would confirm it.
