iPhone 5 home button not working !

Does the button feel faulty ?

(When this happened to my 4s it didnt click properly)

I would first try a restore to eliminate software, then only solution iPhone genuis to replace or raise service request with apple.

Stopped or not working completely, or doesn't respond accurately?

What does it doesn't respond accurately mean?

im having the same issue. had to restore to original settings after restoring back up of previous touch. seems to be working now, but wait and see.. curious if we are the only ones??

now its getting worse, i really have to push down super hard to get it to work.. calling verizon

Apple handles an exchange under warranty.

Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

I have the same problem, , I will try restoring the software !!! hmmmmmmmfffffff

ok, so i took it to the store and the guy pushed the menu button super fast a bunch of times to no avail,, go figure. after all that, an appointment, driving 15 mins etc.. Its doing it again now but seems to be really bad when you power it back up with the top button, unlock/swipe the phone, then push the button.. seems to be about 10 seconds every time. this has to be software or OS?

I'm having the same problem. Also, my iPhone 5 did this weird, strobe thing when I synced it originally. I also already had to call Apple because it wasn't logging my calls. So frustrating to spend a ton of money on a phone that doesn't work!

OK guys, restoring and resynching didn't do a thing to help, however I do believe that 1 am now offering the simplest solution to this problem... Simply push the lightning connector hard into the its port (plug the cable to it port and push hard), one strong push was sufficient for me to realign the Home button and make it work again!

Guys Guys..

It's a hardware defect in the home button..

Just go to an apple store and they will give you a new one..

That's what I did..

Hope that helps..

I have an iPhone 5 and the home button is not working now I have done everything not happy about this what the **** can I do now !!!!!!!!

They ended up giving me a new one at the Apple store.

Hi guys- my home button is quite tempramental. I'm afraid to press it too hard in case I damage the phone. I have found that sometimes if apps I've been using are left live, the phone slows down( just quickly double click home button- if it works!) to see what's still open, then close them down. However, today, apps all closed and home button being moody again. Not what I'd expect for an iPhone 5.
