home button press by itself ipod touch 5g

My home button doesn't work. When I'm using an app, the app closes and I get to home screen, as pressing the home button, and when the iPod is in standby, without pressing, it turns on the voice control. What can I do?

iPod touch, iOS 6.1

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hello,


I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.🙂


  • Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds or until Apple logo appears
  • Is it under warranty? If not, see this article related to yours: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1969583?start=0&tstart=0
  • Restart the device (Shut off and back on)
  • Do a restore or setup as "New Ipod"




Hope that helps!

If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)


Cheers!
