My home button does not respond sometimes

My home button on my iPhone 4 is unresponsive half the time. Help!

This method worked for me once, but then my home button was physically not working correctly and i would have to put way more pressure on it to make it work. So i had to open it up myself and change the home button with a new part that i bought from amazon. The job isnt too hard with the power of patience and youtube.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond

    I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
    The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?

    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

    one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
    problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
    the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
    phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
    signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
    speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
    if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

    Then take it back!  If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty.  If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period.  If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else.  There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

  • HT201412 My home button does not respond on my iPad 3.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I just received a new iPad 3.  The home button does not respond.  Any ideas?

    return it to have it checked for malfunction. Might be a transport defect . ( Although I never heard of such a severe case on brandnew Apple Hardware )

  • Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue

    the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists. 

    Bring it in for replacement.

  • The home button does not respond. Help

    My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing was lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • HT201401 My home button does not respond and the phone will not shut off

    Has anyone had a similar problem where the phone will not shut off and the home button does not respond

    You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.
    Or you could enable Assistive Touch from Settings>General>Accessibility.

  • My home button does not respond most of the time. Is this a hardware failure?

    I've had quite a bit of difficulty with getting my home button to respond. Sometimes, the only way to get back to the home screen is to do a hard reset. I constantly close any open apps, thinking that this might be the problem (memory issue).
    Hoping you can help!
    Thanks!

  • Home button does not respond

    I have changed my homepage by going into options and by dragging to the home button. When I click on my "home" button (the little house under the word "bookmarks", nothing happens. It just started doing this recently.

    Sounds hardware-related. A restore would confirm it.

    I am new to this, could you provide me with a little more detail on how to do this?  Thanks so much!

  • Button does not respond (with attachment)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to develop a LV program for a psychology experiment to record a participants mouse movements whilst drawing or tracing a picture using the mouse.
    My program uses an event structure to generate an event each time the mouse is moved or the mouse button is pressed or released. Upon each of these events the coordinates and button position is recorded to an array.
    When they have finished drawing there is a button "Stop & Save" that allows the user to save the coordinate data to a file. This can then be opened by a sister program I'm developing that allows the movements to be replayed and shows where the mouse button was down and up.
    At the start of the program there is the option of loading a background jpeg picture to trace over on the screen.
    The program then waits for a 'Record' button to be pressed before moving on to record all coordinates there after until the 'Stop & Save' button is pressed.
    The problem I have is that the record button does not respond. It doesn't even change state when pressed, even though at that stage it's just sat in a while loop waiting for it to be pressed before moving on to the event structure.
    I attach the program for you to look at.
    Any help/hints much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Your overall program design is higly flawed. This calls for a single state machine with an event structure that handles all FP events. All your locals can be handled by shift regsters. Get rid of that useless stacked sequence!
    Frame 0: Initialization belongs to the left of the state machine. CoordinatesArray should initialize a shift register (no locals needed). Use a boolean shift register to set state to either recording or not. Event for "record, value changed" will switch the boolean to be used on the other states.
    Frame 1: "Clear" and "stop" need to be inside their own events. Running it parallel to the event structure is a no-no! Do you really want to record mouse movements on the entire FP or only on the picture area?
    Frame 2: Why waste an entire frame on this? Here you clear it and in the next frame you prepend the cleared string to your data. Makes no sense.
    Frame 3: An autoindexing FOR loop would be the right choice. A single formating operation can handle multiple values.
    Frame 4: Writing the "coordinate string" seems useless, since you just cleared it two frame earlier. You are writing an empty string to a file! Right? Why invert the "canceled?" output, just swap the cases instead.
    Frame 5: Unecessary! Once the VI runs out of code, the VI will stop automatically. The "stop" function also does not "close the program window" as you seem to indicate with a diagram comment. Check the online help.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.
    The reason for the main stacked sequence was to get some order to the program, my programming background's text based and as such I like to think of a program running in a list/sequence order. LabView seems strange when you've been used to programming in asm or C. Does anyone know of any books or online documentation for people migrating from text languages to LV? - I haven't found any.
    "Frame 2: Why waste an entire frame on this? Here you clear it and in the next frame you prepend the cleared string to your data. Makes sense."
    - The string 'CoordsArray' is cleared to make sure it's empty before chars concatanated to it in the next frame. Call me old fashioned but is it not good practice to clear out any junk in a variable rather than just assuming it's empty?
    "Frame 3: An autoindexing FOR loop would be the right choice. A single formating operation can handle multiple values." - not sure what you mean by that?
    "Frame 4: Writing the "coordinate string" seems useless, since you just cleared it two frame earlier. You are writing an empty string to a file! Right? Why invert the "canceled?" output, just swap the cases instead."
    - No, it's not an empty string since in the previous frame the coordinates array is converted to numbers and concatanated to it. Trust me, it generates a file with lots of data in so no way is it an empty string!!
    - Yes, you could just swap the cases instead of inverting the 'canceled' output but sometimes it reads better to say 'if NOT cancelled then DO theTask, ELSE DO nothing' rather than 'if cancelled DO nothing ELSE DO theTask'. Not sure if that makes sense but I guess it's just personal prefference there.
    "Frame 5: Unecessary! Once the VI runs out of code, the VI will stop automatically. The "stop" function also does not "close the program window" as you seem to indicate with a diagram comment. Check the online help."
    - I wasn't sure how that one would work. I wanted the final exe version to close the program window when the program comes to the end, what's the best way to do that? In the past I think I used the 'Exit' function but this would annoyingly quit LabView at the end of each trial run whilst still in the development stage.
    Thanks,
    Dave.
