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 fail to work

    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 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).

    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 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.

    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?

  • The home button of my IPAD did not work well.

    From awhile the home button doesn't work properly.  I have already upgraded the system to 4.3.3, and It doesnt get fixed.  Suddenly you have to press 10 times to make it works.  Some times it work fine but some times it doesn't.  Can someone help me?

    Sounds like it might be a hardware problem.  I'd take it back to Apple store, or place of purchase to check.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

    Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

    TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

  • 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 is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden?

    Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden? Does that mean the screen itself is problematic?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I suspect there is a hardware problem with the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

    Hi,
    the problem drives us crazy.
    We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
    The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
    Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
    Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
    As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds.  Other sounds are muted via the rocker.  That's the way it is.
