My home button keeps jamming on my iphone 4; Any suggestons?

The Home button keeps jamming on my iphone 4. This leavesmy phone disabled. Any ideas why and has ths happened to anyone else?

Same here. Before going to the Apple store, I connected to my PC/iTunes. The home button was definitely not working before I connected. Immediately after I connected, as soon as the iPhone screen lit up, I tried the home button and it works again, even before syncing. So trying an iTunes connection as one solution.

  • My home button keeps getting stuck, my IPhone 5 is four weeks old?

    The home button on my iphone5 keeps getting stuck, the hone is four weeks old?

    No it is not common.
    If the device is so new, why would you not take it to Apple?  Did you possibly spill something on the device that could have caused the button to become sticky?

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

  • IPod Touch 4G Home Button is Jammed

    Guys, where's the best place to bring an iPod Touch 4G for repair? It's no longer under warranty. I know I should bring to the authorized service center, but kinda hesitant to bring it to the apple service centers. word is, they don't repair stuff. they just replace the unit if it's under warranty. Is this true?
    It seems to be a hardware problem. the home button is stuck. it's not just unresponsive, but it can't be pressed anymore. kinda like jammed. no clcking sound, can't be pressed, nor pop out,just lays flat. I tried the quick fixes on the net and apple forums like blowing in the ports to free up the dust, etc. nothing worked.
    ** still not using iOS 5, so Assistive Touch option is not available

  • Does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    does apple replace my phone if the home button keeps falling off?

    Yes.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • My iphone suddenly died as well. Holding the sleep button and home button together got it going again. Any ideas why this happens?

  • Why does my home button keep sticking. I have to press it 4 or 5 times for it to take me from an app back to the home page

    My home button keeps sticking. I have to press it about 4 or 5 times to move from an app back to home page. Very frustrating when I want to change apps in a hurry. I have had the phone for just over a year without any problems. This started about three weeks ago. is there anything i can do or must I take the phone back to the supplier?

    This is usually caused by gunk building up in and around the button.

  • HT1222 iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

  • Home Button keeps clicking

    I own a 4th generation iPod Touch and recently my home button decided to go mad.
    It goes to the home screen and opens the task bar even if i'm not clicking it.
    I try to listen to music and the Voice Control panel comes up.
    When I press the button it goes all the way down and when I release it it comes all the way up again, nothing wrong with it.
    I've put the assistive touch, but it's of no help.
    Plus, it doesn't play music without the headphones anymore...
    What can I do?
    I already restored it and nothing happened.

    If it is one year old minus one day it is still under warranty. If it is more than a year since you purchased it then yes, the warranty has expired.
    Millions of iPads have been sold. Most continue to function long after their warranty has expired. Check the many requests about updating the iOS on the original iPad on these forums and you'll see that there are many iPads still working after three years. My iPad 2, which I had for over two years is still working well for my son in law who took it over from me when I bought a new one.
    Given that there will always be a few iPads that fail early. Most of those will be covered under warranty. But some will fail after the warranty has expired and before the owner expected it to. I'm sorry to hear that you are in this category. Take your iPad to an Apple store and have it looked at. They will provide you with alternatives, one of which is to purchase a like model to the one that failed at a discount. You can then know your options and make the best choice for you.
