Loose home button and dark screen

I just bought my new iPhone 4 from the AT&T store today.
I have noticed that the home button is loose and tends to slide around left-to-right, and the upper half of the screen has a small but noticeable dark tint to it. There are also some light gray streaks and spots.

Will they let me return it for a new one or look at me like I'm crazy? I know these are small issues but they are an annoyance.

i just bought my iphone 4 yesterday and the home button is also moving left to right. So I brought it in today for a replacement at the apple store in CERRITOS MALL, CALIFORNIA, and this salesman was such a smart *** that he wouldnt believe that there is such a thing existing!!! im like, HELLO?!?! read your own FORUMS!!! And it was just RUDE for me that they wont LISTEN TO CUSTOMERS THAT WANT THEIR MONEYS WORTH!!!!!!! so what he did was offer me an appointment with Genius Bar (which I was expecting anyway to happen) and have it checked. We VALUED CUSTOMERS WONT WALK HOME WITH SOMETHING ANNOYING IN THE PRODUCTS WE BUY! ISN'T SALES ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER S-A-T-I-S-F-A-C-T-I-O-N?!!?!?! Get some new sales people and managers that love their job! coz these people are RUDE! I tried explaining NICELY a problem one time, and the APPLE MANAGER cuts me off by tellin me, "JUST LET ME DO MY JOB!" I paid cash for an iphone 4 with a loose home button which annoys anyone for sure, so wouldnt you want a new one with a rock solid button like the normal ones? Does anyone feel me here?!?! thank you...

help me,daughter held down home button aqnd my screen is glowing, kida, where the back ground was black it is now white. its kinda like a backlight or something. how do i put it back to normal?

If the screen colours look like they've turned negative then try triple-clicking the home button - or go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn White on Black 'off' (and check/change what Triple-Click Home on the same Restrictions screen is set to).

Cracked screen, home button and touch screen doesn't work

I dropped my phone from the 2nd floor and landed on the screen. My screen is broken, the home button doesn't work nor does the touch screen. What can be done? I really do not want to get a new phone

Front screen replacent at Apple Store is $149, it includes a new home button, so everything will be fixed with this. Make Genius reservation to avoid long wait time at Apple Store.

Ipod Touch 5 slightly loose home button and one slightly slanted Upper volume key?

Is all them things normal? I can move my Home Button up and down diagonal and to the sides, I cannot move them by a BIG deal just a small wiggle?? and upper volume key is slanted by less then a milimetre is this normal??

It's up to you at the end of the day bud.
Sounds to me like it's still working well for you but you are the consumer and you have paid for this product so its your call to make.
Maybe if it gets any worse, book a reservation as mentioned above.
Enjoy your new toy!

IPhone 4 blacks out, could not work with just pressing the home button and lock screen button, only worked when I plugged it in the charger

IPhone 6 clicking noise coming from home button and also a little loose..anyone else have this issue or suggestions on how to handle it? Any and all suggestions are appreciated

It seems as if when I push my home button there is a loud click or a clicking noise that shouldn't be there. If I push the home button in certain areas or kind of on the side it's not so bad. Also it seems as if the button is kind of loose or wiggles a little bit and can also feel the little silver ring and seems as if it's either not on properly or the home button is sunken in pretty good. I was at the Apple Store and checked out some display models and didn't notice it on those and they all felt solid. Has anyone else had this issue or experienced this? Any and all suggestions will help greatly...I just want to know if it's normal or how I should go about taking care of it...thanks!

ok...the doctor is in!....well, yes I agree with other posts concerning "clicky" crunchy touch id/home buttons...ah... we do swaps, cleanings, alcohol wipes....NO NO NO! yes dirt can and will trap inside the extreme minor spaces around the home button and the screen cutout..yes twirling a q-tip round the button only stuffs grime deeper in, but can clean the edge...in this case, that crunch you hear (new out-of-box), its a very popular notice that most do hear a crunchy glass-like snapping sound...being that the touch id does have a sensor ring on the outer side, the actual noise your hearing is ........wait for it......MISS-ALLIGNMENT!!!! yes... pop that sucker open, remove bracket....what do you see??. touch id pressed thru and adheared around the ends of the button...and also most cases, not perfectly aligned..that noise is the actual ring brushing against the screen hole cutout causing metal and glass to bind against eachother... re-seating the button will correct the issue..being that theyre so close together, the slightest miss-alignment can cause that annoying crunchy click sound. find a swap that doesn't...ok that one works but now the silent switch is loose!!!!! ive seen it all

My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help

If this iPhone has had the screen replaced previously, possibly LCD Display connector has simply come loose from the Logic Board. Possibly the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. This is handled by Apple with Replacement iPhone 4S.

My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

My screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are openfreezby double clicking on the home button and closing them. I have held down on the home button and start button simultaneously and it still freezes. Can someone out the help me?

Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
You can read about restoring the software here.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

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.
No content is affected by this procedure.

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.
