Can you swap the iphone home button with another iphone?

Yes you can YouTube shows you how iPhone home button replacement

You should be able to. I worked for Sprint and you can pretty much swap any phone. Now as far as the button go you can try to see if a technician can fix it for you if not then they may have to send you another phone.

Yes, iPhone 4 buttons are all the same so you can switch them without problem but it takes a lot of time to replace iPhone home button. It is more complex process than you might thing.

  • When I press the lock button OR the home button.iPhone? When I press the lock button OR the home button, my iPhone takes a screenshot. It does the sane thing when I press the lock and home at the same time, but I know that it's supposed to happen

Is there anything I can do right now other than going to an apple genius? It's like 9 at night!
  • Is there an iPhone app to go to the home screen? My Home button isn't working well? IIm afraid my home button will completely stop working soon enough, and i don't currently have money to replace it. I really only need the home function, but it would be really nice if it also had a screenshot function (because screenshots need the home + lock combo) Edit: If it makes any difference, my phone is an iPhone 3GS (old, lol) and has iOS 6.1.6.
