  • Why does 'slide to answer' not work all the time on iPhone 4

    Hi all,
    I've have a iPhone 4 and I've always had this problem. I always keep my phone up to date. The issue is the 'slide to answer' button is incredibly unreliable causing me at times to miss calls because it doesn't work. Just now my phone was ringing and the 'slide to answer' was totally unresponsive until I pressed the home button, then I had to try sliding it a few times before it successfully answered.
    This last weekend my dad rang me and I couldn't answer the call; the 'slide to answer' button was happy to move precisely half way along before automatically springing back again even though I hadn't taken my finger off it.
    What's wrong with it?  Its not that long ago since I last restored my phone afresh and yet it's still a problem.
    Has anyone got any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    There are 3 things you can try.
    Hard reset -Hold home and power button until apple logo is displayed -Release let device reboot -test it out.
    If issue persists -go to Settings>gerneral>reset>reset all settings -test.
    Issue persisting still??
    Last but not least restore and setup as new, this will erase EVERYTHING make sure contacts/calendars are in the iCloud or synced in windows Contacts/Addressbook/outlook, or Addressbook on a mac, and Calendars in Outlook, or iCal
    make sure to transfer your purchases, in iTunes windows or mac - File at top left - Transfer purchases.
    Transfer photos via iPhoto, windows scanner camera wizard, or Windows Photo Gallery

  • IPhone 5 lock button not working all the time

    Basically I can only press the left side of the lock button for it to work. The middle and right side do not work.
    If I bring it to apple store does anyone know what version iOS the replacement phone would be?

    Nobody knows what iOS a replacement unit is running, only employees of the Apple Service Centre. But one thing for sure is that they are usually running anything before iOS 6.1.3,

  • TS3048 why does my Magic Mouse not scroll all the time.

    It is intermittent when I open Mail and Calendar.
    It will be working and after 5 minutes, just stops for no real reason.  No pattern either.
    I tried doing something called a system controller reset ( or similar) and that worked for about 2 days.
    does anyone have some advice or discovered the issue.  My mouse is one year old and the batteries are at 100%. 
    thanks!

    I've got the same issue - seems to have started happening since Mavericks upgrade. Pretty frustrating, so would be keen to get some guidance on this

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Home button is not working all the time

    I have started to notice that when I press the home button on my iPhone 4 it does not work all the time. This problems has only started to occur and was first noticed around three months back, however I did not make a big fuss out of this because it was not as often as it is now.
    Sometimes i find this extremely frustrating as it occurs even when the phone is locked and you are trying to bring up the unlock menu (which I know this can be done by using the wake up/ lock botton located on the top of the phone)
    but this also is a pain when it happens, whilst using an app e.g. playing a game and trying to text someone.  Because of the faulty this also makes multi tasking sometimes impossible.

    Try calibrating the Home button.
    1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
    2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
    4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

  • Short key for copy does not work all the time now.

    After I have installed the latest OSX - Yosemite, my short key for copy does not work all the time.  It is infrequent how it works. I'm using the same keyboard that I have always used, my wireless logitech keyboard for mac.  Please help.

    I've plugged in my default mac keyboard and the short key copy still does not work.

  • Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

    I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue.  The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works.  The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating.  I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
    I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue.  The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
    Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
    Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    @diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
    Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
    Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
    Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option.  I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures.  Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
    I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

  • H:commandLink not working all the times

    Hi,
    I am working on an application, with JSF and Spring. In the application I have one page containing a h:dataTable containing records from database. The first column in the dataTable is a commandLink on click of which I need to call method frmo managedBean defined in the action tag.
    The problem regarding the above scenario is that the commandLink is workign alternate times, like when the page loads first the commandLink will work fine calling the action method in the managedBean but when I click the same link second time it does not call the method in managedBean, then third time it works again fine. My managed Bean is in session scope.
    I need to open the details of the link in a new window which will be opened using target="_blank".
    Can anybody please help me regarding the above scenario and giving me any solution why the hypelink is behaving like this.
    Thnak You in advance.
    Edited by: rBond008 on Aug 21, 2009 1:51 AM

    i am facing the same problem.
    I have a view in session scope and which opens in multiple pages on clicking <h:commandLink target="_blank">
    in a datatable.
    The thing is page is opening fine for the alternate clicks and all command links in parent page are not functioning properly.
    They are working properly at alternate clicks.
    I found the problem from debug logs as the form is not getting submitted on alternate clicks which is making the framework to quit the "*INVOKE_APPLICATION*" phase.
    i tried using onclick="javascript:submit()" as part of each command link but it is not working fine all the time.
