But when I press my home button it's not hard it is till new and the butto respond quickly but sometimes this problem happen like press once it multitasks.... Ease help me out with it....

Hi, idk if you solved your problem already. I have the exact same problem with my iphone 4s but I am running ios8 (and problem just started after the upgrade), it's very annoying. And I don't like this reset and restores over and over again when something is wrong either (no offense meant).
If you are not running ios8 since you have iphone 4 maybe this fix works for you.
I tried this fix and it didn't work for me, try it yourself. Try to recalibrate the home button. There is lots of articles about this but I try to describe here the steps:
- Open and app ios native, mail weather etc
- press the sleep/wake button while in the app until you see the turn off option (dont turn it off)
- now press the home button until the screen vanishes and turns on again. the app should now be closed in your multitask screen and the home button is now recalibrated.
Still waiting for some update from apple anyway
Good luck,
GR

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

  • When i touch my iphone 5s home button it makes a small click sound before pressing completely.Is it normal ?

    Mine does this too. I know EXACTLY what you mean. If you push lightly (not actually depressing the button) it makes a higher pitched "click". Like the saphire is getting caught up on the ring surrounding the saphire layer. Any input Apple???
    My wifes 5S hasn't started this yet. Wondering what the issue is here? I have notices other threads with the same issues.

  • IPhone 4 home button stuck in the pressed down position

    I'm on vacation and my iPhone's home button is stuck in the depressed position. There's pretty high humidity here, higher than back at home. How do I get it unstuck so I can use my phone again?

    Your decription of the problem is not clear. Is the Home Button physically pushed down, ie partly under the front screen glass? Or is the Home Button in normal position but seems to be electronically firing off presses on its own?
    You seem to be hinting at Liquid Damage (humidity). Keep your iPhone safe and dry.

  • HT201412 My iphone's home button is not responding when I press it.  I sometimes have to press it several times before it works or it just doesn't work at all.  Any advise?

    My iphone's home button doesn't always work.  I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen.  Many times this doesn't work and I just give up.  It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day.  I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped.  Any suggestions?

    Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

  • IPhone 5: home button gonna fall out?

    when ever i press my home button on my phone it moves around and it feels like its gonna pop out. if i move my finger to the edge of it the other side of the home button will come up.. how do i fix this???

    The iPhone Home button that you touch, floats in space in the glass cut-out circle of the front screen and the holding aparatus below it. Since it is a moving part there has to be some degree of free play or looseness. But how much is subjective. Since it bothers you, I think there is too much free play. Here is what I would do, make Genius reservation, go to Apple Store a few minutes before your appointment, test some of the iPhone 5 display models. See if your iPhone 5 Home button is different. If yes, then when you see the Genius show them the problem and it will be handled right there.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
    Regards.

  • My iphone 5 home button can spin an unlimited amount of times. Do I need to buy a replacement or can I fix it?

    My warranty expired and I would prefer not to replace it with a non-OEM replacement.

  • Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working.

    Out of the blue my iPhone 4S home button and notification centre has stopped working. I used the phone and switched it off. The next time I turned it on they weren’t working. The phone wasn’t dropped on banged around. – Any Ideas, Anyone??

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Have ALL of these steps been tried?
    If you've been through ALL these steps and still have problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • HT4623 new iphone 5 home button not working (works 10% of the time, no rhyme or reason)

    New iPhone 5, home button almost never works. I occasionally get Siri (which isn't helpful) but mostly have to restart the phone to get out of whatever app I'm in. ANNOYING!!!

    Just to cover the obvious, you did peel the protective plastic covering the phone came with? It does not have prepunched holes for the button and the earpiece so the phone will work poorly with it on. Genuine scratch protectors that do have the appropriate cutouts are found at any respectable accessories dealer.
    Else, has the phone been moistened accidentally? A wet home button will probably start failing like you mention.
    Lastly, remember you're still on warranty for a year, even if you got it on Day One.

  • HT1688 iPhone 4 home button problem

    Good afternoon,
    I have an iPhone 4 and it still in good condition but sometimes, the Home button doesn't respond quickly or doesn't respond at all. What to do?

    I seem to have fixed my iPhone 4 home button problems.
    1. Sync phone and back up.
    2. Go back and resync phone but uncheck all the apps you have purchased/downloaded so that your iphone will have no additional apps on it.
    3. Now reset your phone as a NEW PHONE.
    4. When reset as NEW, unplug it and try home button functions. I'll bet they work just fine, like mine did.
    5. Now that you are satisfied you can resync your apps, but be choosey. Re-install only a couple at a time, and test your home button each time. You'll soon find out which of your apps is causing the problem. It's time consuming and irritating, but it certainly works.
    So far - no problems with my selected re-installed apps. My home button works fine.
    However, I recently purchased several photography apps and an emoticon app and that was when the problems appeared to have started.
    So I've been very selective in putting only the apps I want back on ... for now.
    Hope this helps.
    I will report back to tell you if this complicated but effective solution has worked for me.

  • Do others have problem with iPhone 4 HOME button? Can anyone advise what can be done?

    My iPhone 4 HOME button doesn't respond well and a few other iPhone4 owners I know have the same issue. My phone is a gift brought back from another country. So, I am reluctant to approach my local Reseller as the phone was not purchased from them. I tried o get Apple online support but ended up having to fill in an address form from the country where the phone was bought.
    I hope someone can provide me with some advice as my phone warranty is due in about a month.

    Restore as new, do not restore from the backup.
    Does the problem continue?
