My apple iphone 4 home button becomes unresponsive and doesn't work when in slightly humid conditions.
I still have a year hardware support so does this mean I can take it into a store and get it fixed or replaced for free or will I have to live with it or pay to get it fixed
My iPhone 4 was acting a little slow and the home button is sometimes un-responsive. When I called Apple Care Tech Support they informed it might be a virus. I didn't think that was possible on a non-jailbroken iOS device.
She suggested to clear all data and do NOT restore from backup; just sync all files from your computer.
Did this resolve your problem ?
Unfortunately, I haven't made time to try it yet. However, I will soon since the home button is driving me nuts...
I guess the Apple Care rep was right; my home button works now. I tried a bunch of ways to check if the issue would return and the home button is responsive every single time. It was probably malware...
Thanks for sharing your experience. I recently started having the same issue. How exactly does one sync their phone without using the itunes backup? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks:)
I use my google account to sync my calendar, contacts, and notes to my iPhone. You make one change and it updates all your devices. Your apps will be synced via iTunes or download them manually from the AppStore on your iPhone. I believe it's the beta iCloud on AT&T iPhones.

Apple replaced my iPhone in their store too. It was under the one year warranty. They'll replace a cracked screen as a one time deal to make you happy...
My home button didn't work also, I was started to get mad with my sweet and usefull phone.
I did restored my iphone, and the home button still didn't work.
I was REALLY mad and I started to hit the iphone against the bed. Guess what? It started to work perfectly.
A little hit is the cure for almost problems.
Peace!
