My middle button seems stuck and won't respond. Help?

My middle button for the iPhone 3GS seems stuck or sticky and won't respond. Voice control keeps popping up because the iPhone thinks I am pushing the middle button to make it do the voice control. Any advice on what to do?

stoughie,
I'm sorry to hear that your phone is having data and power issues. That's never awesome! smashogre had a great tip, too. I hope it has worked for you. If not, I do recommend an alternative reset to return the phone to the factory settings. If after these steps, it still isn't functioning properly, please direct message me so I can assist you further.
Thank you,

  • My unlock button is stuck. Won't respond.

    I didn't drop it or anything just playing on it, went to lock it, wouldn't respond. The button is jammed and doesn't come back up. 4th Gen Ipod touch. What should I do? Does apple fix this problem? Can an Apple store clean it out for me?

    do you still have one year warrntee? if yes go to apple and ask them if they can fix it. My power button (unlock button) doesn't work either and i can still turn it off and unlock, lock, to turn it on without power button is simple press home button and put in passcode and open settings app and goto general > Accessibility > assistive touch and click the off thing.

  • HELP phone seems stuck and won't turn on or off

    Hi....I JUST got this phone....Saturday the 21st.  I have been having issues where I have no internet unless I have wifi.  I don't have the little 3g or 4g symbol at all and anytime I try to get online I can't unless it's in wifi.  Admittedly I could have done something that caused that, but I have bigger problems at the moment.  I thought that maybe I could turn my phone off and then turn it back on again and maybe that would fix my 3g/4g issue, well NOW it turns on and says flashes DROID like it's going to start up, but that's all it does and it won't turn off or go completely on!  I'm thinking that I need to take it in and get a new phone, but maybe there's something I can do...any suggestions?  Thanks

  • What do you do if you can't press your power button, because it's stuck and won't move?

    what do you do if you can't press your power button on the ipod touch, because it is stuck and won't work?

    Believe it or not, if the power button is not related to a more serious issue. You can take it to an Apple Store, remember to set a genius appointment at http://www.apple.com/retail/,  and get it unstuck for free, or call 800-676-2775 for help. If its more of an issue, they will tell you at the store and how much it will cost to repair if your device isn't under warranty. Also, you can trade it in for credit toward a new ipod touch. Hope this helps.

  • My middle button is stuck

    The middle button on my U2 iPod is seemingly stuck and it won't click. It still functions properly, but now, alot of times when I press another button on the wheel like menu or next, they will act as if they were the middle button. It remains this way untill I press the actual middle button alot of times.
    This problem has made navigating the iPod's menu alot more difficult. The Genious Bar could'nt fix it, so is there another way I can fix this? If not, would it be possible to trade it in for a replacement iPod?

    The same thing just happened to my new ipod, the centre button is stuck, but it seems to work if I press hard. how did you fix this?

  • New Mini - Firewire plug is stuck and won't come out

    Hi,
    This is a virtually new Mac Mini; A firewire plug from my 20" Cinema display is stuck in the firewire port and won't come out. (I'm trying to disassemble this mini to move to another location.)
    I'm trying very hard not to pull too hard because I don't want to damage the firewire port. But I don't know what to do - it's just stuck and won't come out.
    Any ideas? Many Thanks,
    Frank B.

    Well, I finally got it out after fiddling with it, and walking away several times. I had to make sure I didn't damage it, so I approached it very gingerly.
    How did I get it out? It's amazing what actually worked. What worked was grasping ONLY the firewire chord about 1 to 2 inches away from the plug and pulling Only on the chord straight out.
    Doing it this way, it popped out with very little resistance. Strangely, the Apple Cinema Display firewire plug almost seems to click when you plug it in.
    So I immediately tested a generic firewire plug (non-Apple related) and it plugged in and pulled out with no problems or resistance whatsoever.
    "This completes my test of the Apple Cinema Display Firewire plug." (a joke there)

  • I tried double tapping home button and scrolling right but didn't work. I am trying to correct my message page that is turned sideways and won't respond to shake or turning phone around. What else can I do?

    I tried double tapping my home button and swiped to the right but did not help me. I am trying to straighten my message page that is stuck sideways and won't respond to shaking or turning phone around. What else can I do?

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    SCREEN ROTATION
    Lock the screen in portrait orientation: Double-click the Home button, swipe the multitasking bar from left to right, then tap icon with the circular arrow in a square. Read this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3805

  • My iPhone 4 lock button is stuck and Ive had my phone for over a year. What do I do.

    My iPhone 4 lock/home button is stuck and I'm out of warranty. How much will it cost to fix the button cause I have no other problems. Or will they cover it because people were saying it's a defect?

    I was able to pay someone to replace the button completely for much less than what Apple wanted.
    Here's a link to the place I had it done:
          http://www.yelp.com/biz/fix-my-phone-sf-san-francisco
    I can understand why Apple has a 1 year warranty, but I believe a busted power button constitutes a design flaw and thus is defective (much like the iBook logic board from 2003 we had to sue them over).
    ( http://www.apple.com/au/support/ibook/faq/ )
    If Apple wasnt the biggest and most profitable company in the world, and instead the nice little apple I used to know, I'd have more sympathy.

  • HT1212 trying to restore ipod but the power button is stuck and i'm unable to turn it off. I don't know the passcode and it says to connect to itunes. what do i do

    I tried following the directions that I received about restoring my iPod touch. But there is one flaw. My power button is stuck and I am unable to turn it off. How can I go about either getting it fixed or restoring my iPod?

    Easy, first make sure that the itunes on your computer is up to date. Next connect the ipod to your computer. If you have itunes 11.0 or above, wait until the device appears in the upper right hand side of the screen, or you can press ctrl-s, and the side menu will appear, and you can see more clearly the ipod appearing under the device category. Next simply click on the ipod and on the summary screen, you should see restore. Press restore, and you will see a dialog box asking to back-up & restore, restore only, or cancel. If you have information to save, press back-up & restore, if you want to wipe the device clean and start over, press restore. Once it's all done, you should be good.
    If your ipod is less than a year old and not a refurbished device, contact Apple at 800-676-2775 for assistance on repair and replace. If you are near an Apple Store, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ and find your local Apple Store and set-up a genius appointment and go in and have your device repaired or replaced.If your ipod is a refurbished device, it has to be 90 days old or less to be repaired or replaced for free.I hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away from where I live.

    My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge now. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away and I depend on my phone to stay in constant touch with my child's specialist.

    I've tried that several times. It will not reset. The screen just stays black. I've never had this problem before. It usually resets the first time.
