Since upgrading to iOS 6.1 my home button doesn't work. Is there a fix??

Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try Virtual Home Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.

  • IOS 5.1 Update, Home Button Doesn't Work.

    Ever since I installed the iOS 5.1 update on my iPhone 4, the home button does not work at all! I've tried every trouble shooting solution I could find. I've Restarted, I can't hard reset because the home button doesn't work, I've restored from back up, I've restored as new, I've vacuumed out and gently used a tooth brush in the port below the home button in attempt to remove any dust. I've tried opening a factory installed app such as Maps, Safari, Stocks etc and held the top button until the "Slide to power off" showed and then held down the home button until it went to home screen except it didn't go to the home screen at all the "slide to power off" disappeared after a while. I have extremely intermittent response with the Home Button. If i press it continuously it will work after 27 presses one time or 9 presses another but never when I try to do a hard reset and 9.999 times out of 10 it doesn't work. I am so frustrated! I didn't get it wet and it stopped working immediately after the software update. HELP!

    I talked to Apple today and was told that it's a "hardware issue" and they will not fix it. I will have to pay 169.00 to have it repaired because it is no longer covered. He told me that "the software update triggered a hardware problem" and that they haven't heard of this issue before either and this was after he went and "spoke with a senior service advisor". The thing is that if THEIR software update triggered the "hardware problem" meaning that if I hadn't updated at all my phone would be in perfect working order right now then HOW IS THAT NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE?! I am beyond livid. I cannot continue using my phone with assistive touch, NOTHING else works and I know this isn't the first time they've heard of it because how can so many people be having this problem and Apple NOT be aware of it?!  My family has bought three MacBooks, three MacBook Pros, one iPad, two iPad 2s, seven iPhone 3s, one iPhone 3GS, five iPhone 4s, two iPhone 4S, four Apple TVs, one Time Capsule and COUNTLESS versions of iPods and have never had an issue having any of them repaired and only four of those products had to be and it was a fast and hassle free...then again they all were covered still at the time of repair...
    How do you restore to a previous firmware? I don't want a new phone...I want MY phone to work...the one that worked perfectly before their update....this is beyond ridiculous...I wish apple would take a look at their own support communities and see that this ISN'T our problem...it's a problem created by THEM.

  • Mi boton home no funciona, como hago para arreglarlo? My home button doesn't work, how can I fix it?

    Mi boton de home no funciona, desde hace rato, pero no se como arreglarlo? la garantia de un año ya expiro, asi que no se que hacer! alguien sabe? gracias!
    My home button doesn't work, since for some time, but I don't know how to fix it? the one year warranty already expired, so don't know what to do! does anyone know? Thank you!

    Hola PaulaVila,
    Has probado a calibrarlo por si acaso? Para hacerlo tienes que abrir una de las aplicaciones preinstaladas (Contactos es la que suelo usar yo). Una vez abierta, pulsa el botón de encendido del dispositivo hasta que aparezca el cuadro de dialogo de apagado. Luego pulsa el botón de inicio (el que no te funciona) hasta que salgas de la aplicación (el cuadro de dialogo de apagado también desaparecerá).
    Si así no lo consigues te sugiero que te acerques a un Apple Store o a un servicio técnico autorizado.
    Un saludo,

  • My home button doesn't work, how do i fix it?

    One day i noticed my home button wasn't working. I tried a lot to try and fix it, like restoring it on itunes. That did not help whatsoever. It has been like this for about1 month. Whenever I need to get out of something I need to turn my phone off and turn it back on which gets really annoying. Is there an easy way to fix it? Please help!

    You may be having a physical hardware issue so take it to the Apple store if you are in warrantee. You can use a digital home button if you go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch>On. Also make sure you quit your apps (double click home button and hold and hit the minus sign. No available resources will cause the home button to not respond.

  • 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 home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work

    I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago.  The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice.  If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once.  I took it to the Apple store where they reset it.  They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it.  Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either.  I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem.  Any advice?

  • 4th gen iPod home button doesn't work

    well here's the story:
    since i've had my ipod (the christmas of '12), it has been pretty much fine, seemed uncrackable etc.
    so early this week, out of the blue, i go to take my ipod out from bag and it was (on and) cracked. shocked, i didn't know what to think. but to prevent little pieces of glass from falling out from the cracks, i decided to cover it up with tape (the normal clear tape). this seemed to be doing a good job to hold me off until i have enough to replace the screen.
    my ipod was working perfectly fine for the day, when suddenly, next thing i know, my home button doesn't work, it's stuck. i have the alternative home button right now ( the whatever-button), but honestly, it bothers me a whole lot and i can't stand it.
    does anyone have an idea how i can fix my home button? and if the cracks have anything to do with the now nonworking button? the cracks are all around the button, so i've been lead to believe this might be the case?
    so please, help!!!!

    Could be that what ever caused the screen to break also resulted in the button problem. You can try:
