    By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
    Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
    One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

  • Problem with home button and "messages" app after upgrade to iOS 4.1

    Hello,
    I have noticed two interesting problems with my iPhone 4. I am not sure if it is in conjunction with the upgrade to the iOS 4.1 software, but I did not notice the problem prior to this. Both of these problems are very odd and are hit or miss. I have tried restoring and the problem is still present. Also, since both problems have presented at the same time, that is why I am starting to believe it is not hardware...
    Problem 1: The home button has become considerably unresponsive. This is not all the time, but it does happen a lot. Sometimes it won't work for about 5-8 clicks and I have to use the power button to access the phone.
    Problem 2: When composing a new text message the cursor would always default into the "To:" section of the app which allows you to easily type what contact you are trying to message. However, I am having the issue now occasionally when I am in the messages app and select to compose a new text message that the cursor now defaults into the chat box (where you type your actual message). This is very annoying and I know that this is not the intended behavior of this.
    Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues and can provide me with some feedback.

    I have not experienced the same.
    I have tried restoring and the problem is still present.
    You restored from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    If whatever software problem is causing this is included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    Try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I got problem with home button it doesn't work but the touch ID is working ( I have 5S)

  • Problems with Home button, anyone else experiencing this?

    Okay so over the last few days, my home button seems to be playing up but in a weird way.
    If I press the sleep button then the home button to reactivate the screen, I have no problems what so ever. However if the phone auto-sleeps and I go to use the home button to reactivate then I have to press the home button between 5 and 10 times to get it to wake up! (**** lazy phone lol)
    Was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this?
    My only problem is, I can't take it back to the apple store, it was bought back from Australia and is factory unlocked, so what do i do?

    Ignore previous.
    I think the phone just glitched up completely.
    It was no longer picking up my wifi, turned the phone off then back on, picking up wifi and home button works as it should.

  • SB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!

    JSB Xtreme Audio Notebook optical out problem with Home TheaterSystem-HELP!, I have this sound card connected?(optical OUT) ?to my home?theater system's digital IN ?through the recommended /8in. optical miniplug-to-optical SPDIF cable. Theater system is set correctly to Digital-In mode. I have no sound!
    The cable is a Velocity Toslink-to-Optical Mini Plug digital cable. I don't see any settings in the Creative Console Launcher. The notebook is a Dell XPS M730 (Vista 32).
    I have a PS3, DirecTV, and the SB Xtreme Audio Notebook cable on a hub switch that connects to the system's?one Optical IN. The PS3 and DirecTV sound perfect!
    The sound card works fine with standard PC speakers. I'm at a loss as?to what to try next. I set this whole system up myself, so I'm pretty good at working out the kinks, except this one!
    Karen

    OK. I just went to Control Panel - Sound - Playback - Digital Output Device (SB Xtreme Audio Notebook) - Properties - Advanced. I experimented with different sample rates and bit depths. Clicked the test button and lo and behold - sound from the HTS! I've tried iTunes, PowerDVD (configured to digital output) and YouTube - no sound! Am I missing something really obvious?
    HA! Just backed out to Playback and selected Digital Output Device (SPDIF) and set as Default. Sound is emunating from HTS! Well, that mystery is solved! Who knew.
    Thanks anyway! Any comments or advice will still be appreciated.

  • A problem with rollover button

    i have a problem with rollover button in the menus when i upload my site to the hosting server. When i preview in browser with Dreamweaver before upload , there are no problems.
    Thank you!

    You have not uploaded the images on the server which is why rollover is not working. When we put the url - http://modano.1gb.bg/button4a.gif in browser it takes the user to the home page of the hosting company. I think you need to check to make sure that the images are uploaded properly.

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

  • Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server  2008

    Dear all,
    I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button'  on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter'  First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
    Could any one help me with this?
    I appreciate looking forward to your reply

  • A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

    I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
    because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
    now i can't remember how i did it!
    I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
    libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
    even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
    when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
    will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
    'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
    Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
    wall!

    ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
    delete it to the stage only to add it
    again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
    you wanted on the stage - but then you
    deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
    back onto the stage - there's no reason
    to do that.

    Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
    movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.
    > When i double clicked on it again, it brought up the
    right headings (top, down,
    > over, etc),
    Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
    then brought to "edit mode" for the
    button symbol.
    but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
    layers for
    > the original button.
    Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
    per your description there has only ever
    been 1 button you have been working with.
    > I think i have to add the button to each of the
    headings, bt there is no room,
    Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
    each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

    Still losing you here.

    That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
    movie clip instead.
    I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
    movie clip - i have no idea why you did
    that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

    I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
    buttons work yet in flash.
    1. drag a button to the stage.
    2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
    it to edit it).
    3. add your actions.
    4. test movie.
    (no need for a movie clip here.
