iPhone 4 unresponsive home button
Hey
I have a recent issue with my almost 1 year old iPhone 4. Sometimes the home button refuses to work for maybe 10 mins and then all of a sudden works again. Anyone else had this ? Do you reckon it's hardware or software based? Thanks Gormy |

No idea what the issue is, but if you take it to an Apple store, they may well swap it for you. A friend had an issue with her button, she booked a Genius appt at the Apple Store and they swapped it for a new one.

Sounds like it's hardware, probably a loose connection. If it's less than a year old, I wouldn't hesitate to take it straight to Apple for a swap. If it's more than a year old, repair shouldn't cost much at all, it won't require any new parts, just a quick open and close job.

It does sound like a hardware issue and don't think there are any Iphone 4 models in the UK unless they are imported over 12 months old yet are there?

Could be a software problem with some process hogging resources. Try power-cycling it.

Dust under the button seemingly.
Google it it's common with the old 3G's too. I took mine back but the guy said you have to push right in the centre. Maybe I'm too use to my Ipad. |

Seems there is quite a few Iphone 4 bugs so far I've had black screen, stiff button and the constant vibrate so had to hold both buttons to power it back on.
