IPhone :: When Press The Home Button To Escape An App It Doesn't Work And Calls Frequently Do Not Connect
Apr 2, 2012
We have two iPhone...both 4. Both are running the latest software. We both have the same issue. One is that frequently when you press the home button to escape an app it doesn't work. If you press the on/off button and then go back to the home button it may work, but not always. It takes repeated tries to get a response.
The second, and perhaps related, issue is that calls frequently do not connect. I can select a contact from either my favorites or the contact list. When I select the name the phone appears to be dialing. You hear the ring once, but no more and the call doesn't connect. Then you can't end the call to start over you have to wait for it to decide to end.
I don't know whether to restore both phones or not. We are thinking of visiting the Genius bar, but we're sure they will work perfectly there.
After half a day new iPhone 3GS stopped working properly. Home button doesn't respond. It works only when I plug iPhone to the computer.Voice cotrol runs by himself unexpectadly. iPhone 3GS with preinstalled iOSx 5.0.1. Should I update to the new 5.1 or downgrade to the 4.0 version?
I have a problem with my home button. It works every time I press it and iPhone act correctly, but the pressing itself isn't as it should be. So the button doesn't work soft, elastically and neatly. It feels like there's something inside the mechanism. And the sound of pressing the button isn't typical.But the iPhone is almost new and it works great apart from the button. I've searched for it on the Internet but it seems that I'm the only person with this problem, because the button actually works and the phone responds to pressings every time.
Ever since I installed the iOS 5.1 update on my iPhone 4, the home button does not work at all! I've tried every trouble shooting solution I could find. I've Restarted, I can't hard reset because the home button doesn't work, I've restored from back up, I've restored as new, I've vacuumed out and gently used a tooth brush in the port below the home button in attempt to remove any dust. I've tried opening a factory installed app such as Maps, Safari, Stocks etc and held the top button until the "Slide to power off" showed and then held down the home button until it went to home screen except it didn't go to the home screen at all the "slide to power off" disappeared after a while. I have extremely intermittent response with the Home Button. If i press it continuously it will work after 27 presses one time or 9 presses another but never when I try to do a hard reset and 9.999 times out of 10 it doesn't work.
My iphone 4 home button and the volume doesn't work. Have Besy Buy black tie protection plan but they want me to be without my phone for almost a month to repair. I can't do that.
In order to submit iPhone 5 for replacement of the faulty home button power I need the serial number and i cannot power on the phone to locate the number. What to do?
I just bought my 9850 about 4 months ago. Now my escape and menu buttons don't work. It went from being able to either one down for over 5 seconds to get them to respond to nothing happening at all.
everytime i make a call my phone will cut off it can be after a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes!got the latest update,been into vodafone and they gave me a new sim incase that was the problem but obviously its not. also my circle button doesn't work properly and sometimes not at all?
Around a week ago when I turned my motorola quench on I found that a bunch of settings were reset including the passcode lock and my choice to use the swype keyboard. Although I was able to change those back easily enough, my home button since then does not work. In order to close an app, I now have to use the back button (which means losing my pages if I am in a web browser). The command for pressing the home button twice still works.
I have an iPhone 4S with ios 5.1 Whenever I press the home button twice to close some app or something, the phone restarts. There was this same problem yesterday and then automatically it got normal. Before that ,once with this issue I did a recallibration ( opening an app and then pressing and holding the lock button until the switch off slide appears and then holding the home button until I am back on the home screen) which solved my problem. This has happened many times with this phone , even when it was running on iOS 5.0.1.
I have iphone4, since quiet good time and the home button have defect in response, most of the time when I am in middle of app and wanna return to home screen, when I press it wont take me there but after the second or third pressing it respond. I believe there a dirt inside or something like that, cause almost 1.5 year since I bought it.
My home button doesn't want to consistently work...one minute I'll have to press it in the center, the next it'll be in the top corner...sometimes I have to press it more then 10 times to find the right place!!!
My iPhone 4 home button is not responsive if I press around the edges at the top and bottom.But it works fine if I press the left and right edges.Am I nitpicking? Should I return it? I already have a screen protector installed.
From the last few days my I phone 3GS is giving me a hard time.. Its HOME BUTTON is not working properly. Have to press it 2-3 times and have to press it hard to make it work. I am now running 5.1 iOS, it had the same problem with 5.0.1 iOS too.
I've updated to lollipop & new built update & everything works nice.. Love the new update so far.. Battery drains much faster though. Is there any possibility to change google now shortcut of home button long press? Can we set something else to that shortcut?
On the Galaxy S5, whenever you long-press the Home button, it brings up what appears to be a Google search page or something. Apparently I’m really bad at pressing buttons quickly (either that or the button is malfunctioning) because I keep accidentally bringing up this damn Google search page instead of the home screen.
Is there any possible way to disable the long-press or even just change what it does??? I’ve searched through the phone’s settings and all over the internet and haven’t found anything useful yet.
