OS 4.0: HOME button acting weird and inconsistently since updating

The new double click for multitasking is not working properly for me - sometimes I get the new multitasking bar; but most of the time I don't. Sometimes I'll get it with just one click, other times after clicking THREE times?!! Its so annoying. I'm on a 3G 32gb Touch and I updated with no problems at all; but everytime I double click the Home button I just get the search feature coming up instead - prior to updating I had the Home button set to get me there via a double click, but I've attempted to change that setting and I've noticed that the option to customise the Home button click function has been removed?!! Basically, multitasking is a lottery as far as my Home button is concerned, I have to keep trying different Home click combos to get it to appear and I'm regretting updating at all.
Please help!

Well that was a waste of time.

Ipt 1g home button acting weird (1 presss equals 2)

ok i have the ancient ipod touch 1g, and the home button has seemed to die on it, when you half press it in it works, and the button is really weak, so half way is easy pressed in by mistake, and when you press it with normal strength and push in all the way like normal, it comes up with the music menu, i know it isnt software b'cos the ipod casnt detect half presses and i have already just restored. i am willing to do anything to it now, i will probably open it up, but am not sure if there is some other easy fix, has anyone else had this problem? so again its when you press it, it regesters it as twice, sometimes 3 as the menu comes up then dissapears half a second later

Nano "Enter" button acting weird and restarting

Hey -
So I've had my nano (4GB) for about 7 months now and its been great, but recently it's been restarting a lot randomly, that is, the screen goes black and the apple logo is shown before bringing me back to the main menu.
Yesterday after it restarted once, the enter button appeared to stop working, but I realized that it works on every function BUT entering the music menu. So for instance when it starts up I can go to Shuffle Songs, or play a game of solitaire, but if I go to click on the MUSIC menu, which would bring up the Artists, Songs, Albums, then the whole nano just restarts. It keeps doing it over and over and over. I have no idea what's wrong with it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Sounds to me like you are having the same problem I had. I trouble shooted (trouble shot?) it and figured out that installing podcasts from the iTMS was causing the problem. This took me several instals, updates, etc. When I finally figured it out, I restored my nano with the latest update (at the time), kept the "drive" free of iTMS podcasts, and it has worked like a charm ever since.

I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
Sorry but that makes no sense at all. How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device? Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development. They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally). So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly. No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

My phone won't turn on. I have tried the Power button home button several times and even held it for over 3 minutes.. When I plug it in it still won't respond to itunes PLEASE HELP!! A little water got in it but it was like a drop or two..

My Iphone 4g, won't turn on, I have tried the power button + home button several times and held them for over 3 minutes. It won't even respond to Itunes and I can't restore it because of that. A little water got into it before it completely shut off but it was like little drops.. Please HELPP.
I also have tried to put it in rice and left it there for 9 hours and it still doesn't work

A drop or two of water may have been enough to cook it. If it was bad enough to prompt you to put it in a bag of rice, then I'd venture to guess it was more than a drop or two.
Try putting it back in the bag of rice and leave it there for several days.
If that doesn't fix it, then you're more than likely looking at paying for an out of warranty replacement.
Water and delicate electronics don't generally get along well.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

- 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.

Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

Home Button Acts up Need some help please

Hello,
My iPhone 3GS keeps hitting the home button by itslef and wont let me do anything and I have tried resetting my phone and everything but doesnt work what do I do. My iPhone is currently at iOS 5.1.1.

If you've taken all the recommended troubleshooting steps including restoring your phone as NEW and you still have problems, then it's likely a hardware issue.
Bring your phone and $149 (if you're outside the warranty period) to Apple for exchange.

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

My iPhone 6 wont come on when home button is pressed and screen pixels out and fades. Any one have fix or same problem?

When I press the home page the screen activates but stays black. I have to press the side button to turn if off then may have to repeat several times to get my phone to come on. Sometimes while using the phone the screen will become pixelly and start to fade away leaving a white screen with vertical line on it. I have to use the close button to make it go away.

If one of the two major buttons of your phone is broken, it is unfair to expect normal operation to be available. The first resolution to any problem involves a usable Home button, as does the second option for resolving any problem. Get your Home button fixed.

Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.

If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.
