Q: iPhone 4 Home Button not working properly

same problem here.

Are they trying to find us a solution before iOS 5?!?!?

I am also facing same issue, wondering is it a hardware issue or software?

Just want to say that I had this exact problem with 4.2... software, and just upgraded to 4.3.3 and the problem is still there.

I also tried finding a "corner" of the button that works everytime, but it does't seem to matter, once the phone has decided not to respond to my wishes. So I'm not sure it really has anything to do with the sensor. I may however be proven wrong on this point.

I find it very annoying that the worlds leading manufacturer of smart-phones (the inventor!!) can't make their home-button work properly, whatever the problem may be.

Hi - in my case, once I plug in the wire to connect to iTunes on my PC, the button starts working again. Brief respite :p

Same problem here..grrr

Same exact problem here too!!  And here I was thinking about replacing my PC with a Mac.

I have the same problem. Restore solved it for about a week, but already it does not work correctly again

Got mine fixed...apple gave me a new phone at apple store.  I think it's the only solution.

If I still have my warranty can I just get a new one at the Store?

Yes sir, worked for me.

My home button works only intermittently which is annoying but makes me worried I'll have a hard time proving it to the Genius Bar. Was yours 100% not working? If not, did it take some degree of pleading your case to get it replaced?

I don't know if this is related but my iPhone has been just turning itself off occasionally, and doesn't immediately respond to my attempts to turn it back on. Has anyone had any issues like this?

I've also been having the same issue. It only started once I downloaded the newest update (4.3). Sometimes the button will work first try, other times it takes between 3-7 clicks to get it to work.

This happen to me and I fixed it by gently slapping the phone on the back a few times.

I think it may be a point connection issue.

Same problem here.  Went to the genius bar, they said the problem would go away with the 4.3.3 iOS upgrade.  Ugraded the phone and the problem still pursists... it's very annoying.

I tried DFU restore to 4.3.3 and the problem is still unsolved.
