Is there a way to take an incoming call by pressing the Home button?

Hi all,
It's winter here in Paris, as in the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, and well, we wear gloves, you know? Mine are made of wool, and when I receive a phone call on my iPhone 4, I have to take at least one glove off to take it. Is there a way to set the Home button or any other physical button on the phone to act as a "Take call" button? I've been looking in the phone settings but came up empty.

Guys, guys... (sigh)
Now, let's be constructive, shall we...?
Malcolm, I see you live in a country even colder than mine, so maybe you're speaking from experience!
No, seriously, wjosten put it plainly: save from jailbreaking my phone, there doesn't seem to be a solution to my "problem". I'm not quite ready to jailbreak my phone yet, but I'm getting closer every day. I love that phone, but there are so many built-in limitations that I'm on the brink of doing it.
Now, this said, it would make for a nice improvement in future versions of the iPhone: let the user set one of the physical controls to take calls.
(As for buying those gloves you guys mention, I like my wool gloves just fine. Plus they're a gift from a loved one)

HT1212 Is there any way to unlock a disabled ipod without pressing the power button?

My ipod has been stolen at my high school for over six months. Long story short, i retrieved it and it turns out that my ipod is being disabled for 22,135,578 more minutes. I checked the apple forums and i saw how you could reactivate you passcode but unfortunately my ipod power button is broken. also im not even sure what ios is running on and well imma get my screen fixed because its cracked

at home, i dont remember the ios, but im certain its ios 5.0.1, im using my mac computer
also the file for Recboot v1.3 say that it has been removed and the Recbook v2.2 the webpage isnt found, i think Recbook only works on ios 4 devices only.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

My iPhone 5 C doesn't respond when pressing the Home Button, do I need to go to a Apple store or is there another way to fix this problem?

I bought my iPhone 5 C last week and is still all brand new. My phone was alright thses days but suddendly when i pressed the Home button to get out of an app, it didn't respond and also when i want to see the time I press the Home button but it doesn't show the lock screen. Do I need to go to an Apple Store or is there another way to fix this problem? I have read the Helping Center in the Apple Web but still it didn't help to solve my problem. Can someone please help me?

Getting your notifications is definitely important and we understand not wanting to miss anything katieb373. You have reached the right place for assistance in getting this working for you again. Has your phone completed any recent software updates right before this happened? You can reset the network settings to see if that will resolve the issue by following the steps http://vz.to/1uO6qTU in the link. Please try this and let us know the results.

After installing 8.2 on my iPad all the apps crash during use. It appears that the iPad saves a version of what I was using because after the app crashes I double press the home button an there is a screen of an older version of the page I was using.

After installing 8.2 on my iPad (2nd gen) all the apps crash during use. It appears that the iPad saves a version of what I was using because after the app crashes I double press the home button an there is a screen of an older version of the page I was using. I swipe it away and start over, only to have the same thing happen again. I have reinstalled all the apps, rebooted, synced and re-synced with iTunes. This is VERY irritating!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Hear sound when press the home button, as if there is a gap underneath !!

Take it back to Apple if you think there's a problem with it.

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How can i delete the new feature "get in contact with your favourite persons"?? When u press the "home" button twice, theres a list on top of the ipad with the last persons youve been in contact with. How do i delete that, or some of them ;-)

You can turn that feature off in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Contacts>Show in App Switcher>Recents>Off.

When I come from outside and press the home button to turn my iPod on, there is white, light blue and red lines but it is transparent enough that I can see my background, time, etc. It hasn't been water damaged, so that cant be the problem.

When I come from outside and press the home button to turn my iPod on, there is white, light blue and red lines but it is transparent enough that I can see my background, time, etc. It hasn't been water damaged, so that can't be the problem. I was thinking maybe it is just because of the cold but, I don't like having my iPod doing that whenever I come back from the cold. However, I was in class too and this problem happened but it was inside! So I am very worried, I have dropped my ipod a few times but it hasn't fallen that hard to effect it.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).
or try an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler

Wrong! Check out KB Article: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Personally, I would not be running no test. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all their repairs. Return your computer to the repair shop but this time.......
When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop:
*** Before you leave the repair shop, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.***

Is there a way to use a bookmark from Maps as the home/work address of a contact?

I'm trying to use location-based reminders. But the Home and Work addresses I have in my own contact card are not recognized by Apple Maps.
Is there a way to use Apple Maps to set the Home and Work addresses in my contact card to something that it will be able to understand?
Edit: It doesn't have to be with Apple Maps. Google Maps or any other service where I can bookmark my "Current Location" would be fine. I just want an effieient way to use Location-based reminders when manually inputting an address is not an option, but locating it on a map is.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that current stage , you would need to add the tags manually.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Is there any way to turn an iPhone off without pushing the power button (it's broken)?

Power button on my 4s is broken. Is there any way to power the phone off besides the power button / slider shut down combination?

Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. If you touch and hold Lock Screen you will get the "slide to power off". This will turn OFF iphone. To turn iPhone ON, connect with USB cable to power, charger or USB of computer.

Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:
