The home button does not respond and when I turn on phone it activate voice control. I have to turn the phone off and back on to access another app

my iphone 4 home button is not working anymore. I have to turn the phone off and on again to access an app. When turning it on it immediately goes to voice control. I cannot get out of this. I have checked and updated the software and finally reset the phone. All this has left me with the same problem. Any ideas???

Voice Over Fix
Settings > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Off
Or,
Press the Home Button 3 Times
Now...
Reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup... Restore as New...

The home button does not respond. Help

My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing was lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Ipod touch 2nd gen home button does not respond

I have tried restarting my ipod several times but my problem still trmains.
The home button does not respond. I can get to the screen with all my apps, but once I get into an app, I cannot exit it. What can I do?

See:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

Iphone 4 home button does not respond, resetting fails to resolve issue

the home button does not respond. i tried putting phone to sleep and waking up with home button (which worked, but then the home button does not return the screen to home page), a hard reboot with the home and power buttons, and finally a reset to factory settings and then synching again to my computer. the problem persists.

Bring it in for replacement.

HT201412 My home button does not respond on my iPad 3. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

I just received a new iPad 3. The home button does not respond. Any ideas?

return it to have it checked for malfunction. Might be a transport defect . ( Although I never heard of such a severe case on brandnew Apple Hardware )

HT201401 My home button does not respond and the phone will not shut off

Has anyone had a similar problem where the phone will not shut off and the home button does not respond

You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.
Or you could enable Assistive Touch from Settings>General>Accessibility.

Iphone 5 home button does not respond, brightness reduces by itself, wont charge and its one week since i got it!

one week since i got the iphone 5: screen blacks out, when i finally get it to light up the light brightness turns low.
problems charging phone, just doesnt want to charge unless i reset the phone.
the main home button does not respond at times, approx 3-5 times a day this occurs
phones touch screen does not respond at times...whole touch screen, no response!
signal always drops out, this could be a network issue though i doubt it.
speaking to quite a few peopl i know, they are havng the same issues with there 5 but not as often as myself.
if i knew the 5 had so many issues i would not have chosen it, the 4s was fine!

Then take it back! If you've only had it for a week, you still have 51 weeks of warranty. If you are in the USA, you are also within your 14 day unconditional return for full refund period. If it has that many problems, just return it and get another one, or get your money back and buy something else. There is no reason to live with a faulty device after just one week.

I have 2 people in my contacts that I'm unable to text. The SEND button does not respond

I Have 2 contacts that I'm unable to text to. The SEND button does not respond. Other contacts will send message.

Hi Gaylene1949,
So the issue is isolated to two contacts only.
There are a couple sections in this article for troubleshooting contact specific issues.

If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.

My Iphone 4's home button does not respond

My Iphone 4's home button does not respond most of the time. Help! Is this a hardware problem or a technical problem?

The home button is not responding

I have an iphone 4. I have done a restore, I've used the restart method of holding the sleep button and home button and have been able to get it to work again. Now the home button isn't responding at all for a restart. My phone is just over a month past it's warranty. Any ideas?

Reset Home Button Steps:
(1) Tap Settings App, when open:
(2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
(3) Don't slide it, release power button.
(4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
(5) Done.
If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.

IPhone 4 Does not charge or get recognized by laptop and the home button does not work at all.

The home button on my iPhone 4 does not work at all. Also, when i plug it in to charge, it does not charge at all, and it doesn't even say that it is connected. What will Apple do about this if i send it off? Will I get a replacement? All answers much appreciated.

Buenas Matias,
Si, pude solucionarlo hace unos dias, al final me arriesgue y compre el "dock connector", un juego de destornilladores para iPhone 4, lo desarme y lo cambie, y al toque empezo a cargar.
No queria esperar semanas para el repuesto de iFixit asi que lo compre en MercadoLibre, estan 160 mangos, y si no te queres arriesgar a desarmarlo y cambiarlo vos, hay algunos que te hacen la instalacion tambien.
Pero primero averigua bien que tengas el mismo problema que yo, o sea el dock connector sirve para lo q describi arriba. Si tenes otro sintoma te recomiendo que investigues porque capaz es otra cosa y terminas gastando un repuesto al pedo.
Espero que te sirva.
Saludos
Gonzalo.

The Home button is not responding with my ipad2.

My recently bought ipad2 is having problem with the Home button as it is unresponsive. I had removed all new applications downloaded from apple stores and restored it to the orginal setting. Still the same, even if i press the Home button & Sleep button together nothing happens. Case has been booked with Express Lane and their technical expert is of the opinoin that it seems to be a hardware problem and asked me to bring to US , unfortunately i'm based in Dubai. I had purchased it from here, can any one help?

Home button does not respond

I have changed my homepage by going into options and by dragging to the home button. When I click on my "home" button (the little house under the word "bookmarks", nothing happens. It just started doing this recently.

Sounds hardware-related. A restore would confirm it.
