IPod Touch keeps hitting the home button

Before I begin, I have a 32GB 3rd generation iPod Touch. I bought it off of Amazon directly and it arrived January 27 of this year.
And until 2 days ago, I loved it and it worked great. However, now it keeps hitting the home button on its own. It does have a case, but even when the case is removed it continues to be a "phantom." My iPod is not jailbroken or anything. No matter what I do on it, it will eventually hit the home button, which closes me out of what I was doing. I Google'd this before and it said to restart it and or restore it. I have done both and it continues to have this problem. If anyone has a solution to this, PLEASE help me or I will have to call Apple and most likely ship it to them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I talked to an Apple Expert and just brought it to UPS.
Thank you David. I had a 1 year warranty.

  • My ipod touch automatically presses the home button

    my ipod touch automatically presses the home button causing apps to close, appswitching tray to pull up, and turning to spotlight search. i dont think my home button is broken; i can press and release it no problem. could this be a software problem?
    thanks!

    I would try the standard fixes inorder:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Ipod 4g keeps pressing the home button

    I don't know how else to explain it. but it keeps waking up from sleep and going to the play/pause etc. controls. exiting apps and generally doing what happens when you press the home button a lot. what happened? Is it covered under warantee? I got it for xmas. there was no liquid damage btw

    Good thing it is still under warranty. They should replace it with a new one.

  • What do I do with my iPod Touch 4g when the home button does not work and when I plug it in to charge it always says that charging is not avaible with this accesory?

    Take it to a reputable third-party repair shop. Apple will not touch it after you have opened it up and tinkered with the works.

  • Ipod touch automatically sets off HOME button

    hi, I accidentally spilled water and got a little bit on my ipod. Afterwards, I noticed that after I charge it, the ipod would automatically hit the home button.
    When I'm playing a game or have an app opened, it would close because it sets off the home button.
    when I press the top button, it would sometimes take a picture because it's holding the home button.
    When I leave it in lockscreen and screen off, the screen would automatically turn on.
    1. Is there anyway to fix this? or to disable the home button when I'm in game.
    2. Also, can I send it in for repair? The earbuds jack doesn't show any red from water spillage.
    Thx, any insights would be appreciated.

    also, when i put it near my static-y shorts, it sets off the home button.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    My ipod touch 4th generation's home button and lockscreen work perfectly but the screen is unresponsive and wont work whats the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

    I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

  • I go to my settings and i change something and then i hit the home button and it wont let me go home. So i then try to turn my screen of and turn it back on to see if that will help. It will not shut off either. How do i fix this problem?

    I have a problem! I go to my settings to change something and then i hit the home button to go home and it will not let me. So I hit the button on the top to turn it off to see if i can make it anybetter. My screen will not turn off! I tried to shut it off and it wont let me do that either. So now i am stuck in my iPod settings until my iPod dies. How do i fix this problem?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Hitting the home button twice!

    When I hit the home button twice the bottom row lights up. When I hold down on any of the icons the delete mode pops up. When I hit delete it deletes the icon(s) then i hit the home button to go back to the home screen the icon is still there. Im not actually trying to delete the icon, someone told me by doing this it turnes off that icon or something! Can anyone explain what this does?

    That action just tells the OS to "close" the application.  Normally iOS handles this automatically as it needs memory, but you can force them to close manually with that action.  I routinely do this to reduce background cellular & GPS usage, but for the most part I allow iOS to manage these recently used applications as it sees fit.
    To remove an application touch and hold its icon on the home screen until it starts to "jiggle", at that point all installed applications will have an X in a circle in their upper left hand corner.  Touching that X on any app will remove it from the device.

  • It seems that when i hit the home button it brings up a previous webpage i visited, rather disturbingly it is my bank website and tries, i must say tries to login... but does not as my bank has many firewalls. but what is going on and can you help me?

    I got on this morning to check my balance as i get a direct deposit from my work. Once i checked my bank i logged off as normal. then hit the home button. It did not direct me to my home. yahoo.com but went instead to msn.com. so i went into my options and reset my home page. Now when i hit my home page it grabs my bank page and adds a new tab to try to open my bank page while i am at my home page. so i must either have some spyware either through a webpage i visited or your software has a leak somewhere someone cracked. please help me with this if it is indeed a problem with mozilla.

    I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.
