IPhone6 randomly 'presses' home button by itself

I just set up my new iPhone and for some reason, at random intervals, the home button is 'pressed'. Sometimes I'm suddenly taken out off an app to the homescreen. Sometimes I'm taken to the app switcher. This is super annoying.. Should I take it to an Apple store? Are there more people with this problem? I've tried to completely reset the iPhone6 without any luck. I have updated it to iOS 8.0.2..

I tried restoring it and am still having the same problem. How do I go about getting it looked at/fixed? Its like a barely touch the home button and it goes and its acts like i pushed it 10 times it just keeps going back from my ipod then the home screen and search screen. It doesn't seem like it is stuck down or anything, when i push it down it still clicks and stuff. I don't get what the problem is.

  • My iPhone keep press home button on itself

    I just bought my i6 few hours ago. And after awhile , I notice that my iPhone go to home non stop or sometimes even double home. I'm trying to update to iOS 8.1 to see it helps.

    sounds a lot like a hardware issue to me buttons use microswitches and if those become periodic defect what you experience will be the result

    I've found a new way .. I restart the phone manually. And it works. But sometimes , the Problem reappears and sometimes it doesn't . But when it does , its just too annoying. Therefore, restarting the phone manually is a temporary solution. But what's the permanent solution for it? Let's wait and hope that someone comes up with one.
    And I hope this restarting hint solves your problem too.
    P.S- instagram or any other app won't make a difference. That's what i think .. Cz I don't have that app on my iPhone.

    Try restarting it. If this does not work, then hard restart it which is holding the power and home button until the product ***** off. If this does not help either, plug it into the computer and restore it. Make sure you back up the device before you restore it though! Here are instructions on how to restore and back up an apple device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • White screen when pressing home button and getting text

    Strange thing, hopefully software bug. I press the home button to check time and all that shows is a white screen. It's not the white screen of death because I can simply press the sleep button and then go straight back to what I was doing, pressing home button, etc. and it's fine. I've even taken a screen shot of it with iPhone. All that appears is my true wallpaper, as if it didn't know it wasn't already showing it. Also, it's very random. I can't reproduce. It's pretty minor as I can quickly getout of it but I want it clean.
    I've restored, restored as new, reset, turned on/off, everything I can think of. Any ideas?
    I also have the speaker distortion bug many are talking about (blown speaker sound).
    I have a genius bar appointment Sunday so I'm curious what they say.

    I suggest going through the usual troubleshooting steps:
    1. Reset the phone by pressing both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears (ignore red slider).
    2. Setting > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    3. Restore in iTunes using a backup.
    4. Restore as a new iPhone
    5. Take it to the Genius Bar.

  • Is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time

    is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time?

    Months ago my home button was screwed up, and I was worried. I'd have to wait atleast for a week to get it repaired as I was busy with my exams. So I found a solution. Goto Settings->General->Accessibility.
    Scroll down, and under "Physics & Motor", select "Assistive Touch". Toggle it on, and you get lots of options. You don't need to click the home button all the time. It is a very simple widget like stuff, that stays no matter what app you're using and you can do various functions with it. Initially, it's irritating as you see it everywhere. But it fades itself out and appears when needed. After you get used to it, it's really helpful.

    Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

    Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset.  This has been done to my phone.  The SIM once and the factory reset many times over.  You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract.  I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong.  I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts.  The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

  • Long press home button when locked calling randon contacts.

    Long press of Home button while locked activates voice control which then calls random contacts. This tends to happen when the deviced is in a bag or in my pocket. How can you modify the button behaviour in ios 5 on iPhone4?

    iOS multitasking is supported on the iPhone 3GS or later. Check the note near the bottom of the following link > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211
    Hope that helps

  • Unlock screen not responsive after pressing Home button

    Usually when I lock my phone, I can press the Home button to turn the screen on so it can be swiped and unlocked. But recently I have had to hit the Home button multiple times for the screen to appear, sometimes it does not appear at all (I have to press the lock button to turn on the screen). Other times I have to press the button multiple times and what looks like iPod controls appear at the top of the screen, even though the phone is locked.
    Can anyone shed some light on this or a possible solution?

    Hmm ... odd I've not seen it, since I had the original iPhone for two years before going to the 3GS on June 19.
    There are some that do not believe that this sort of problem could/can exist, especially on the iPhone, but it is also an age-old computer issue regardless of who the manufacturer/vendor might be. That is why the power off button on computers was always called the "international reset" button.
    Perhaps that's why I've not seen it. I make it a practice to cycle (restart) my MacBook and PCs after they've been in Standby/Sleep/Hibernate for some length of time. And I've always powered my iPhones off and back on every few days.

  • IPhone 4 doesn't start, from nothing, when I press home button (since iOS 5)

    Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, almost everyday, from nothing, I can't start the phone by pressing the home button or any other button. So I have to restart all the time it happens, it's getting annoying already!
    Is it happening to someone else?
    HELP!!!

    Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore has new device.  Doesn't sound like you've been through ALL the steps yet.

  • Iphone 4 randomly unresponsive home button

    Hey everyone,
         I have an iphone4 16 AT&T that I have had for about 8 months now.  For the last 4 months the home button has been randomly non-responsive.  Sometimes it works great, other times it takes 2-3 clicks.  I have never dropped it, gotten it wet, or abused it in any way.  I restored it and updated to 4.3.3, and set it up as a new phone, and the issue still showed up.  This is also a non-jailbroken phone. 
         My dilemna is about what to do- does anyone have any insight?  I am hesitant about taking it in to the genius bar and having the issue not occur and looking like an idiot.  However I am afraid that if I don't take it in my warranty will be up in less than 4 months and the home button might stop responding completely.  Please if anyone has any knowledge on this let me know.
    -John

    Hey Eric thanks for the quick response,
         Unfortunately I already tried this many times, including holding down both the home and power button and doing a hard restart.  The issue still comes right back, and occurs even if I turn the phone on and run nothing but let it sit for a while and dont use it.
