IPhone 3G - How to manage with an unresponsive home button?
My iPhone's home button has recently become really sluggish. A simple click no longer works; I have to repeatedly go at it like an N64 controller for it to activate.
I've done all the tricks to 'reboot' it to no avail. I legitimately think that it's a hardware thing. Everything else still works great.
I know that the iPhone 4gen has a built-in feature that lets you have a replacement Home Button on the touch screen instead. Unfortunately that's not available on my relic.
Does anyone know of an app that could emulate this feature for me and where to find it?
I would be ETERNALLY grateful.
Do the following
*go to settings
**General
***Accessibility
***Assistive touch *ON*
then you may access your home button and other controls!
Hi there I had the same problem on iphone 4. I got it working very responsive now. You put you finger in metho/rubbing alcohol let it seep in the press it heap then sit it upside down and the gunk should come out. Do that 1-3 times. It will work right away but go back to not working in like 1 hour. So then you spray a bit of lube (WD40) the tiniest amount. It seems to work with a bit of moisture in there thats when I put the lub in there. I did that 4 months ago and it has worked perfectly since.
Apple store?
- Unresponsive iPhone 5 home button? - 1 I got a new iPhone 5 about a month ago and not once has my home button worked. I didn't wanna take it back cause then I would have to wait and get a new one which I don't wanna do. It worked like two times and that was the day I got it. Does anyone know how to fix it? If you do please help!
- Unresponsive home button on iPhone 6 I've had my iPhone 6 for nearly two years, and yesterday, the home button became unresponsive. It was working perfectly fine before that. When I reboot my phone, I get a notification saying "Unable to activate Touch ID on this phone". It never said that before the home button stopped being responsive. I also have battery problems with this phone. Is there a way to fix this?
- My home button and lock button don't work on my iphone 4 Okay so about 2 weeks ago my lock button stopped working and I don't know why so I went to mts store and they said to go to the apple store and i haven't been able to go yet and then tonight I was on my phone then I went to eat dinner so i put it in my sweater pocket then after dinner i took my phone out and it wan't responding! 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.
