My home button on iphone 5c not working correctly

Hi,
Any ideas please - I have an iphone 5c that is about 17 mths old and has been working fine until yesterday when the home button became unresponsive - not all the time but intermittently.
I have turned the phone off for a while and then turned it back on but it made no difference.
This is the first problem I have had with this phone - it's been amazing til yesterday!
Thanks in advance.

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test Home Button.
If the phone works as before the update, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

  • Home button in HTML Help Not Working

    My Home button in HTML Help Not Working.
    Also the Home option from the Options menu does not work. I receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
    I have the correct file name (titlepg.htm) in the Advanced Windows Ptoperties "Default" field and the "Home" field. However, I still receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
    How can I correct this situation? Thanks, your help is appreciated!

    Can you post a couple of screen captures please?
    One where you show the Project Explorer with the desired topic in view. Another where you show the dialog where you specify the Home page destination.
    Another thing you may wish to try is to define a totally new window, assign the values there and ensure you point to the window in the Single Source Layout recipe.
    Oh, and one other thing. Are you using RoboHelp HTML or RoboHelp for Word?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Need help iPhone 5 not working correctly

    my iPhone 5 keeps pressing all the keys around the key I want it to press on the keyboard also problems using lock screen numbers have re-started and the phone just reverts to not working correctly
    also when I got this phone I did it from a back up of my old iPhone 4 but not all the songs have fully downloaded (they are there, but cannot play) when I look on iTunes it says I have no songs that arn't on my iPhone that I've bought?
    Should I take my phone back to my carrier which is 3? Or make an appointment at the Genius Bar?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
    Backups do not contain media, all the media should be in iTunes on your computer.  Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync.

  • The home button on ipad2 is not working since the iOS 6 update

    I've updated to the latest IOS 6 system and now the home button is either freezing or not working.  Can't get out of apps unless I reboot.  Upon rebooting, it doesn't work & if I open an app, it doesn't work again.
    Need a fix.

  • Does the home button of iPhone 5 stop working over a period of time?

    I'd purchased an iPhone 4 when it was released. After using it for 8 months the home button had stopped working. Then i found out that its a common problem in the iPhone 4. Is it the same with Iphone 5?

    I've never had a problem with any iPhone I've had, nor has anyone I know.  But being a mechanical device, parts are going to break.  That's why there's a warranty.

    Try:

    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:

    - 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.

  • The APP STORE app on the iPhone 4S not working correctly for UPDATES now.

    It used to be, when I had APPS that needed to be updated, I would see a badge on the APP STORE icon with the number of apps that needed to be updated. Then I could tap on the icon for the APP STORE, and I would see the UPDATE button showing the badge as well. I would also see the actual apps needing updating on screen.
    NOW, even though there are APPS that need updating, there is NO badge on the APP STORE icon, there is NO BADGE on the UPDATE button, and no apps will appear on screen. If I tap the UPDATE button, after a few seconds, the apps WILL appear on screen, the badge WILL appear on the UPDATE button, and, if I go to the home screen, the APP STORE icon has the badge with the number.
    It is as if the apps that need updating do not automatically go to the APP STORE app anymore until I summon them by pressing the update button. This happened ever since I did an iPhone update from backup a few days ago.

    try hard resetting the device, holding the power button and the home button at the same time, and reset all settings (wont delete anything) settings>general>reset>reset all settings

  • Iphone shuffle Not Working Correctly

    Since doing a full restore of my iphone which reloaded all of my songs, my shuffle doesn't work correctly any more.  I'm on 5.1.1.  I start a shuffle and 2 or max 3 songs play and then it quits.  The screen shows the next song but no sound, either with earphones or speaker.  The button at the bottom is showing the stop music bar, implying that the music is playing, but the top bar that shows time left on the song is not moving.  If I hit the stop bar then rehit the start arrow, again nothing happens.  I can go back to the playlist and restart a shuffle and a new song plays, then 1 or 2 more, then nothing.  Any ideas?

    This will fix the problem...

    Basically sync the iphone with iTunes on your computer.
    Uncheck sync music to clear the iphone from all music. Then sync this way to clear the iphone. It may ask if you want to delete the music on the iphone. Say yes to that.
    Once done with the above step. Check the box to sync music.
    Then re-sync your iphone to reload all your music back on the iphone.
    This fixed the problem for me. I got this solution from the above link.
