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.

  • My iphone fell down and now the home button is not working well and the phone is making calls itself?

    i already updated my phone and download he latest version of itunes. The Siri is turned off and the voice control appers alone and start makiing calls itself. please help me!!

    It's pretty clear your Home button is becoming easily stuck in the active position, causing Siri to activate and, based on what it hears, make calls.
    You need to hand the phone in and get it fixed.  Shouldn't cost you too much.  Try to find an Apple Authorised Repair Centre in the first instance.  Follow this link and choose your country to see if there's one nearby.
    HTH.

    iPhone 3GS with preinstalled iOSx 5.0.1. Should I update to the new 5.1 or downgrade to the 4.0 version?

    If it were me, I would return it for a replacement.  Also, you can only upgrade the iOS, not downgrade.

  • IPhone 3GS home button doesn't work.

    I have to turn phone completely off then back on to get back to main menu screen and use different functions/apps.   It doesn't appear to be "stuck"; it just doesn't register anything when pressed.  Any ideas?

    If it were me, I would return it for a replacement.  Also, you can only upgrade the iOS, not downgrade.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4 home button doesn't work after upgrading to IOS 7

    After upgrading to IOS 7 today, my home button stopped working. Just curious if anyone has experienced this? It worked at for a few hours, then all the sudden it stopped. Maybe it just randomly broke. I've never had an issue before today. Thanks for the help.

    Well, it just, randomly, started working. I didn't do anything.

  • My iPhone 4S home key doesn't work most of the time.  Why is this? What can I do?

    My iPhone 4S's home key sticks and I am not able to access my phone.  I have to push the on/off button at the top and even then, I can't access the my apps because it is stuck.  How do I fix this?  Can I fix this?

    Your home button is broken.  Bring it in to Apple for evaluation and likely exchange.

  • My home button doesn't work anymore

    my home button doesn't work anymore

    I had the same problem and used contact cleaner (link to product on amazon in description of video). It is only about $5 and I'm sure you can get it at a local Home Depot if you don't want to wait for it from Amazon. It has worked so far for 2 months with no issues. In comparison, rubbing alcohol only worked for a few days before my home button began to stick again.

    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.
