My home button is not working.. HELP!

The home button on my iPhone 4 quit working today. I tried syncing it, tried shutting it down, tried blowing air into the dock area and nothing is working. I even reset it... Does anyone know how I can fix it without having to go to the genius bar?
Much Thanks in Adavance...

Try calibrating the Home button.
1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

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.
If basic troubleshooting fails to resolve the issue, the next step is to take the device to Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for evaluation.

When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.

- 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.

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

Home button is not working sinds ios 5.1.1 update

I bought my iPad 2 2 weeks ago and everything was working fine. I dit an update of the software and my home button is not working anymore. Could someone please help me out? Thanx in advance

Try to recalibrate your home button.
Step 1) – The very first thing you will need to do is launch a stock iOS app like the Calendar, Stocks, YouTube etc.
Step 2) – Once the stock iOS app of your choice has been launched you will need to hold the power button (located on the top of your iOS Device) until the Slide To Power Off toggle appears.
Step 3) – As soon as you see the Slide To Power Off toggle appear you will need to quickly hold the home button until this toggle disappears.
Step 4) – When it does disappear you will have successfully recalibrated your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s home button.

My home button is not working, my home button is not working

My Home button in not working therefore I can access my apps or make calls I need help.

Notice I said the iPhone 5 series...the past few weeks this has started. SOME stores can replace the screen, power button, and other repairs. A user reported the power button cost him $30, another that the screen was $149. But this is still in the rollout phase from what others have seen and said.
Have not heard about other countries yet.

Any help is appreciated.

I realize that you said that the home button is not working, but try this anyway.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if the battery will show that it is charging after the iPad starts up.

My home button does not work. why?

What is wrong with THE iPad Home button. Only a couple of months old. Moderate use at most and the Home button does not work at all. Is this easily sorted out or should the iPad be replaced?

Bring it to a Store. Hardware problems are best sorted out there. Until then use multi-touch-gestures. HOpe this helps.

I updated my iphone 4 to ios 5.1.1, now the home button is not working

I have restored a lot of times and i had calibrated my iphone a lot of times too.

Try the above help and if that doesn't work then check on the Apple website

The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider
in India but there have been many similar posts to yours
and I am not aware of them assisting with an iPhone from
outside India
