The home button on my iPhone 4 gets stuck in when pressed

Periodically when i am using my iphone and i press the home button it get stuck in and is very difficult to get back out. This doesnt happen every time i use the home button but it is happening more and more frequently. It started happening about a month before the iphone warranty ran out and i didnt think much of it. However now the iphone has been out of warranty for a month it seems to be happening more and more frequently. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my iphone?

Even though it is out of warranty, take it into a nearby Apple Store (or email/call Apple) and ask somebody about it. It may be you are pressing to hard, or there is a fault inside the button which is causing it to get stuck sometimes.

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple.

  • The home button on my iphone 4 has raised up on one side.

    The home button on my iphone 4 (which is only 4 months old) has raised up on one side, not by lots but it is no longer flush with the case and if you run a finger or nail across it you can feel the edge of it. Is this enough to send it back into apple for fixing? (i am concerned that it could move more epecially once the waranty period is up) it still functions perfectly but when i feel the buttons on my friends iphone 4 phones they are perfectly flush, its just that you expect the phones to be perfect and I feel it should be repaired.  Im not after a new phone but just for the button to be reset into the case.
    Anyhelp?

    If you feel that it is defective then you can make an appointment at the genius bar or call Apple support.  If they determine it to be defective, then they will replace.

  • HT1349 The home button on my iPhone 4 is not working.  Does anybody know how I can restore it?

    The home button in my iPhone does not work.  Does anybody know how to restore it?

    If the basics from the User Guide have all been tried (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and you still have problems, then you've done all the troubleshooting you can do.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or an authorized service provider in your area.

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

  • The Home Button on my iPhone 3GS is working off and on.

    Sometimes when I press the Home Button it works immediately.
    Other times it does not work at all,or I have to press it three or four times,and quite hard,to get to the next screen.
    It is an intermittent problem but is not happening more often.
    Any advice on how this can be resolved?

    Hi, I had the same thing with my iphone 4 not so long ago. It had a problem and i sent it to the apple store (it had lesss than a year so i didn't pay). If you send it and you have apple care then they would send you a new one for free.

  • Lost the forward/back button after updating and the home button how do I get back?

    Firefox updated to 7 and I lost all of my add ons including the home button and the forward/back button. I was able to get all of my add ons restored except the home button and the forward/back buttons. How do I get them back? Wish now that I had not updated.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
    * Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • When i click the home button on my iphone

And it also wont let me scroll down on the page so when i try to change back the settings the option i am looking for is at the bottom of the page so i cant change it. and sometimes it wont let me unlock it
    PLEASE HELP ME

    You have VoiceOver enabled. You can turn it off via iTunes. Connect the iPhone to your computer, select it in the left column of iTunes, click the "Configure Universal Access" button at the bottom of the "Summary" tab, disable "VoiceOver", click "OK", then click "Sync" (bottom-right).

  • Why doesn't the home button on my iphone 4 work all the time?

    Often, despite pressing repeatedly, it just won't take me out of the programme I'm currently in.

    How old is your phone?  It is my understanding that they do wear out; some sooner, some later.
