Why does my home button act without clicking?

My home button seems to have a mind of its own. My apps shut down, voice control popps up..etc all without touching the home button.
It will even happen when the phone is on my desk.

Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), release and wait for it to restart.

    Why does my home button on my ipad all of the sudden not work at all?

    It happens the same to me, sometimes I push the button and I start to push it in all the ways, without releasing it, and it starts to work for a time. There's another thread with home button issues on IOS 6. Regars.

    Restore the phone and set it up as a new phone to isolate a software issue.

  • Why does my home button keep sticking. I have to press it 4 or 5 times for it to take me from an app back to the home page

    My home button keeps sticking. I have to press it about 4 or 5 times to move from an app back to home page. Very frustrating when I want to change apps in a hurry. I have had the phone for just over a year without any problems. This started about three weeks ago. is there anything i can do or must I take the phone back to the supplier?

    This is usually caused by gunk building up in and around the button.

  • Why does the "Home" button open another set of tabs ontop of my existing?

    when I use an existing tab to go to another web site and then want to return to my original tabs I hit the home button and instead of reloading all my home screen tabs it opens another set of tabs along with the ones that are currently up. IE ,I have -5- tabs that open on start up. If I hit the home key I will then have -10- whci are duplicates of the one that are up. In IE the home key just takes me back to the tabs that open on start up. Do I have something set wrong?? I am a new user of Firefox. Thanks!!

    When you hit the Home button the active tab is reloaded with the first of your homepages and the other 4 homepages will open in new tabs; IE does that differently. Sorry, there is no setting in Firefox to change that action. There might be an add-on available to change that action, but I can't point you to it as I am comfortable with the current way Firefox does that (but then again I only have 2 homepages).

  • Why does my home button only work sporadically on my iphone?

    Most of the time my iPhone is fine, but then 2 or 3 times a day the home button stops working and I need to power the phone off and back on again to get it working properly. Am I alone in having this problem?

  • Why does the HOME button Not act on clicking?

    You have to press harder to get action, so why have a misleading Click ?

    Usually in this type of switch, the click occurs FROM the contact itself...
    In this case, no. Trying to click softly results in about one in five clicks causing an action.  In normal use (like my Mac mouse or other buttons in pressure) results in about half of audible clicks
    resulting in actions.
    It's a minor annoyance, but still annoying to hear-feel the click yet still have to do it again

  • Why does my home button not work?

    Sometimes I press it and nothing happens and to do the double click for the open apps screen sometimes takes 20 clicks be fore it works... There seems to be a delay when I press it.

    Tried that, but it hasn't worked. Looks like I'll have to go the store!
    It's been like this for ages, I should have gone when it was still under warranty.

  • Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does apple disable my account without reason?

    Why does apple disable my account without reason?

    Then, USA is not a country which has freedom.
    There is no such thing in the world as absolute freedom. That's anarchy. All civilized societies have rules to govern our actions. Like it or not, a current rule is that no company based in the U.S. is allowed to sell any type of technology to Iran.
    Here is a text version of the U.S. Government's sanction. Note this particular paragraph:
    • EXPORTS TO IRAN - In general, unless licensed by OFAC, goods, technology, or
    services may not be exported, reexported, sold or supplied, directly or
    indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, to
    Iran or the Government of Iran. The ban on providing services includes any
    brokering function from the United States or by U.S. persons, wherever located.
    For example, a U.S. person, wherever located, or any person acting within the
    United States, may not broker offshore transactions that benefit Iran or the
    Government of Iran, including sales of foreign goods or arranging for
    third-country financing or guarantees.
    The U.S. can't do anything about you buying an Android if you want one. The maker of that product is located in Taiwan.

  • Why does my edit button not show in Address Book?

    I have installed Lion on my laptop; however, I am not able to edit any Address Book entries. After doing some research, I have learned that I am missing the "Edit Button" that is supposed to appear on a contact that will enable editing.  My Edit button does not appear - I have only "Add Contact" and "Share" buttons.  Why does my edit button not appear?
    I have not noticed any other issues with Lion.
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Select "Go" from the finder whilst holding down the Alt key and "Library will drop down in the list.
    Library/preferences/ and delete this :  com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    re-start your comp and it should work.
    This . plist will re-create itself when re resart all nice and clean and fresh.
    Should work, it does for most things.
    Good Luck
