iphone 4 home button not working ...

[Cliosaregay]

any idea what it could be??? really annoying im gonna take it up to apple as its still under warranty but would ideally like to fix it!

press harder.

seriously.





either put up with it or take it to the apple store.
im putting up with it as i assume itll cost a pretty penny

Yep, pretty common problem.

 

[Dafthead]

Mine's fucked too, 2 years old now though so just having to deal with it.

how you managed to get out of apps though???

 

[Gouldy]

Get the vacuum out and Hoover the bottom of your phone. It might remove some of the dust that's accumulated and return some use.

It's a common fault. Take it to the store and get a replacement.

Will cost £139 as it will be out of warranty, I know because I tried with mine. I've found a good fix is to drop it face down and then buy a new home button flex cord to replace along with everything else.

Lol.

smash the s**t out of the back of it.

My home button hasn't worked for weeks so in order to get out of apps I've turned on assistive touch which is found in accessibility settings, you basically have a circle on your screen that you touch and it provides you with a touch home button, hope this helps

Assistive touch annoys the f**k out of me, since it always covers something I need to click on.

Got it set to triple tap home button at the moment because my sleep button doesn't work.

If you don't know what you're talking about; Please don't post.

OP. Replacement is your only option. Apple is £139 or try it yourself with a kit from eBay.
