IPhone4 HomeButton Not Working & Voice Cntrl Keeps Popping Up

Yesterday my home button stopped working & the Voice Control (not voice over) keeps popping up.  This happened 3 other times this year.  I've backed it up in iTunes, and every time I try to restore it, it just keeps telling me it see's a phone in recovery mode.  This is the most frustrating thing in the world to deal with right now.
Does anyone have any advice before I just throw it against a wall?  Seriously I would if I weren't expecting an important call.
In the meantime, I went to Settings/General/Accessibility and turned on the Assistive Touch so I now have a stupid little make believe home button floating around on my screen to atleast help me temporarily with the Home Button not working issue...
Help!

A little late here but if you're still facing the issue there are a couple of things you can try.
From what you've said about Voice Control popping up, it looks like yours is a completely hardware issue. So all those gimmicks about software recalibration might not work. You should check out http://www.igeeksblog.com/iphone-home-button-not-working/ where there are some fixes for an unresponsive home button.
Alternatively, you can try whacking the back of the phone (right behind the home button, with your knuckle) and check if that fixes the thing temporarily.
The best thing would be to get to the Apple Store and let the guys fix it. Even if it costs money... because that way, you get the issue sorted or at least know where you stand.

  • Access to DFS root via VPN not working - error 0x80070035 keeps popping up

    Dear all,
    when trying to access the DFS root via VPN from a Windows 7 non-domain member computer I always receive an error stating "Windows cannot access \\eggs.local\dfs", Error Code: 0x80070035, The Network Path was not found.
    I searched the internet as well as these forums in order to get to grips with this error message but didn't find anything to solve my problem.
    I made sure, that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled, that I have access to the VPN adapter's DNS as well as WINS servers, that DNS name resolution is working properly, DNS split tunneling is enabled, Windows Firewall is disabled, and so forth. Still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks Alex

    Hi,
    Though you mentioned DNS is working properly, please check if DNS forwarder is set as set correctly. 
    And incase it is caused by authentication, please try to force Kerberos to use TCP - by default it using UDP and on a slow VPN connection, UDP packets may be dropped.

    Also check NTFS and Sharing permission on top of the DFS Namespace. At least give users a Read permission.

  • Syncing not working, authorization message keeps popping up, no matter what.

    When I try to sync all my iPhone apps/music/etc.. from my Mac air on to my iphone 4 Itunes says the computer is not authorized. Tried all the tricks given (authorize, on/off, check account, trying to only updates apps, update software) and it will once again tell me it is not authorized. After 8 hours of frustration, please advise.

  • Verizon iPhone4 does NOT work in Hongkong Airport

    Asian travelers be aware.... the Verizon iPhone4 does NOT work at Hongkong International Airport.... I couldn't make any phone call out and can't receive any incoming calls either....  although the phone has the WEAK signal of roaming (1 to 2 lines)...but any phone calls I tried to make or  text messaging all did NOT go through.... it was such a huge disappointment.  I just don't know why my old verizon blackberry phone worked great in Hongkong/China/Taiwan and the iPhone just did not work....
    Also be aware, even if you have the WiFi connection, the Verizon iPhone will NOT allow you to browse the internet using Safari, becuase it will ask you to turn on the data-roaming service.... what kind of plan is this ????  I waited for the iPhone to be available for so long but it turned out to be useless when I needed it the most... thinking about returnnig it due to the service failure

    The blackberry was most likely a dual mode (CDMA EVDO Rev-A and Quad Band GSM) with a sim card for global roaming such as the storms, tour and bold as mentioned above.   Data on the iPhone should've worked on wifi unless Verizon and Apple crippled the phone.  The map for hong kong lists cdma roaming but says Advanced EVDO device required so not sure if the iphone 4 falls under that or not. http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Roaming/Asia-Pacific/Hong%20Kong.html

  • I used to be able to send text messages to my email.  It's now not working.  It keeps coming in as a text.  Is one of my settings off?

    I used to be able to send text messages to my email.  It's now not working. It keeps coming in as a text.  Is one of my settings off? Please help?

    Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
    Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
    Good Luck

  • Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
    Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
    Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
    And you are using iTunes 10.7?
    I'm just trying to help get you going.

  • TS3018 my iphone4 bluetooth not working how i fix it

    hello ! my iphone4 bluetooth not working how to fix it ...thanks

    Apple does NOT accept phones sent in from another country.
    You will either need to take the phone back to the UK yourself, or mail it to someone you know there to have him or her bring it in to Apple for you.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,
    P. Dreadie

  • Voice recognition keeps popping up on phone

    I have tried to locate help with this question, but no one seems to have this problem.  Just this past weekend, my phone has been acting goofy by the google voice page just pop up like I want to ask a question verbally. I have given it a hard reboot and even taken out the sim card--no go there.  I also tried to go into settings to disable that, but it seems to get worse when I keep turning it on and off.  I tried it in safe mode and that didn't work.  It keeps trying to connect to "Speak Again"  or "Connection problem" or "Audio Problem"  Is this a hardware or software problem.  I just need to know if I need to take it in.  We live out in the country so it is a drive to go to the Verizon Store.  Please help. 

        I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with the voice page Meddling_sheep. Which phone do you have? Are you using any kind of Bluetooth or headset? If so, please try disconnecting/unpairing, and see if corrects. Please keep us posted.
