My iphone 4's home button doesn't work properly..please help!!!

i have an iphone 4, I have some problems with home button. I can hear the click of button but it respondes only when I hit it hard...please help me

I just want to let you know this is a software issue.  The 4 and such has been having this issue all over this place since iOS 6 has come out, it's documented all over these forums but Apple does not want to admit it.  Yes if you check the steps on 'recalibrating' that will get your home button working for a bit.  In most cases wiping out everything on the phone brings it to normal working level.  Just saying, had this issue for a while and I've read way to many posts by Apple employees not understanding what is going on.

    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.

  • Our iphone 4 3gs home button doesn't work well and the phone jumps out of apps

    Over the last few months our iphone has been acting funny.  Sometimes the home button doesn't work.  Sometimes we are in an app and we are jumped into another.  What do we do to fix this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

  • Got my new 3 GS only two weeks go. My Home Button doesn't work properly. Any suggestions?

    malfunction of the home button right from the beginning, when I received it from apple service (Apple Store Covent Garden, London), two weeks ago. The button doesn't work smoothly and needs repeated hard pushes to show reaction

    If you use the search box at the top of this page, you'll find your question has been asked and answered multiple times.
    If after taking the steps mentioned in the numerous posts, bring your phone back to the Apple Store for evaluation.

    Then it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • If I have an old iPhone 3G I am not about to sync cuz my computer keeps freezing and I want to use my moms iphone because my home button doesn't work. Will I have to pay again for apps I already had

    I have an iPhone 3 g and my computer is so old that syncing takes 5 hours and it freezes so I was wondering my iphone the home button stopped working and my mom offered me her iPhone 3GS and I have apps that I like and was wondering if I have to pay to re add them to a different phone even if my SIM card is in the other phone

    you have access to apps that you've downloaded as soon as you log into your apple id in settings > itunes and app stores. it has nothing to do with SIM cards

  • Sleep/wake button doesn't work? Please help

    I can't turn on my ipod nano, it seems that the button is jammed, it simply doesn't respond.

    Take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP especially if you are still under warranty or have Apple Care.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • I want to back up my Iphone 5 on Itunes but doesn't work. Please help

    Hi there,
    I want to back up my Iphone5 on my laptop (W8) so that I can use the back up on my new Iphone5s. I use Icloud but would rather do it via my laptop.
    When plugging the old Iphone into my laptop it only gives two options; set up as new Iphone or restore from previous back up (which is my Ipad from last June)
    How can I get a back up from my Iphone on Itunes.
    I already turned off the Icould back off setting on the Iphone.

  • Iphone 5 home button doesn't work

    I've had my iPhone 5 for over a year now and the home button was working on and off. Now the home button does not work at all. Can I get a new iphone if the home button doesn't work??

    You should have contacted AppleCare or made an appointment at an Apple Store when the Home button was working on and off while the iPhone remained under warranty and at least had it checked by Apple before the warranty expired.
    If no longer under warranty, doubtful it will be exchanged under warranty now but maybe Apple will make an exception in your case. Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

  • My iPhone died and wont turn back on. My home button doesn't work to reboot it.

    It died last night and I put it on the charger and nothing happens not even the battery symbol comes up. I do have the iOS 7. I can't restart it because my home button doesn't work and i have to use assistive touch. It won't show up on itunes when i tried to plug it in. It's not the charger because it works on my other i-devices. I have an iphone 4.

    If the screen and iPod does not show any life then letting the batter drain will not do anything.
    If you tried another cable and tried ReBoot on another computer and still problem then your iPod has to be repaired/replaced
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 my home button doesn't work?

    My home button doesn't work. I have to turn my phone completely off to get to a different app

    Apple would handle this with Replacement iPhone 4 for $149. The repair part is the Home Button flex cable a $2 part. It is a difficult repair because most of the iPhone needs to be taken apart including removing the front screen to get to the Home Button flex cable.
