Why does my home button fail to work

My home button on iphone 4 does not work unless I hold it for 15-20 sec, then voice control comes up.

why does my home button fail to work
maybe it's broken?
Restore the phone and set it up as a new phone to isolate a software issue.

  • Why does my "home" button on my ipad no longer work?

    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.

  • Why does My Home button not work but i can use it to get in to DFU

    Hello, i have an iphone 3gs and my home button doesn't work when it is turned on but i can use it to get into DFU mode. Anyone come across this before.
    PS: i think it was previously droped in water but it was drained and everything appart from the home button Works

    Possibly the flex connector of the charging dock, flex ribbon (#4) is not perfectly seated down to the logic board.

  • 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 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 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 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 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 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

  • HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Does the home button of iPhone 5 stop working over a period of time?

    I'd purchased an iPhone 4 when it was released. After using it for 8 months the home button had stopped working. Then i found out that its a common problem in the iPhone 4. Is it the same with Iphone 5?

    I've never had a problem with any iPhone I've had, nor has anyone I know.  But being a mechanical device, parts are going to break.  That's why there's a warranty.
