IPhone 5 home button slightly pressed in
My home button works fine, but is slightly pressed in. If you run your fingers over the bottom of the phone you feel the sharp edge of the circle of surrounding glass. I have compared this to other iphone5 phones and the home button is flush with the glass. As far as I remember it has been like this since I got the phone. Is there something I can do to fix this? Should I not be concerned at all?
My home button is working just fine. If you think yours is broken or otherwise not "normal", bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

My Iphone 5 home button keeps pressing itself but stops if put pressure on the bottom of the screen on each side of the home button, i have noticed that there is a screw missing on the right side of the lightning port could this be the issue??
If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

when i touch my iphone 5s home button it makes a small click sound before pressing completely.Is it normal ?
Mine does this too. I know EXACTLY what you mean. If you push lightly (not actually depressing the button) it makes a higher pitched "click". Like the saphire is getting caught up on the ring surrounding the saphire layer. Any input Apple???
My wifes 5S hasn't started this yet. Wondering what the issue is here? I have notices other threads with the same issues. -
My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades. Any one have fix or same problem?
When I press the home page the screen activates but stays black. I have to press the side button to turn if off then may have to repeat several times to get my phone to come on. Sometimes while using the phone the screen will become pixelly and start to fade away leaving a white screen with vertical line on it. I have to use the close button to make it go away.If one of the two major buttons of your phone is broken, it is unfair to expect normal operation to be available. The first resolution to any problem involves a usable Home button, as does the second option for resolving any problem. Get your Home button fixed.

IPhone 4 home button stuck in the pressed down position
I'm on vacation and my iPhone's home button is stuck in the depressed position. There's pretty high humidity here, higher than back at home. How do I get it unstuck so I can use my phone again?
Your decription of the problem is not clear. Is the Home Button physically pushed down, ie partly under the front screen glass? Or is the Home Button in normal position but seems to be electronically firing off presses on its own?
You seem to be hinting at Liquid Damage (humidity). Keep your iPhone safe and dry. -
My iphone's home button doesn't always work. I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen. Many times this doesn't work and I just give up. It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day. I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped. Any suggestions?
Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else has been having issues with a stiff, clicking (quite loudly) home button that malfunctions randomly?
I am a huge Apple fan - I have had one of nearly every phone over the years, so it has really surprised me that the home button on my new iPhone 5 just does not feel right.
I have taken it into a genius 3 times now - explaining that the button feels like it has something trapped underneath it, stops responding etc etc however they insist they need proof of it occurring.
Has anyone else had these issues? The steps I have taken so far are:
Taken it back to the store the first time - they cleaned it out with air in case something was caught
Second time I took it back - they replaced the home button
Third time - I was told they need to prove it is malfunctioning and testing it in store appears it is working fine.
Its a difficult situation - I get really annoyed when I am trying to use the phone and it feels uncomfortable to use and randomly does not respond to the home button being pressed unless I lock and unlock the phone again.
Any tips, suggestions etc on how I can get this fixed?
(I have passed the phone to other iPhone 5 users when it has been playing up and they all agree it feels really odd / not normal - so I am not imagining it )
CheersTry recalibrating it. Open your stock Clock app. Hold your Sleep/Wake button down until you see the slider bar to turn it off. Don;t slide the bar. Instead, let go of the Sleep/Wake button and hold the Home button down until the Clock app quits and you see your Home screen.

IPhone 5: home button gonna fall out?
when ever i press my home button on my phone it moves around and it feels like its gonna pop out. if i move my finger to the edge of it the other side of the home button will come up.. how do i fix this???
The iPhone Home button that you touch, floats in space in the glass cut-out circle of the front screen and the holding aparatus below it. Since it is a moving part there has to be some degree of free play or looseness. But how much is subjective. Since it bothers you, I think there is too much free play. Here is what I would do, make Genius reservation, go to Apple Store a few minutes before your appointment, test some of the iPhone 5 display models. See if your iPhone 5 Home button is different. If yes, then when you see the Genius show them the problem and it will be handled right there.

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5
Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!
It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt. -
iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
Regards. -
My warranty expired and I would prefer not to replace it with a non-OEM replacement.

Has anyone else seen this before, I needed to lock and unlock iPad to get back to the home screen.Aloha Ethan. Fortunately it's working as designed, but you'd never believe how many people wanted to argue with me smply because it worked differently. Can't please everybody I guess. Bob.

2. Siri doesn't respond when holding the phone to ear.1. Unable to take screen pictures as instructed, holding the home button and pressing the sleep button doesn't work.
I do it the other way around. I press and hold the Power button and then very quickly press and release the Home button.

Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working.
Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working. I used the phone and switched it off. The next time I turned it on they weren’t working. The phone wasn’t dropped on banged around. – Any Ideas, Anyone??
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Have ALL of these steps been tried?
If you've been through ALL these steps and still have problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -
