All of the sudden, My home button is starting to make an odd, hollow tinny noise when I press it, almost like an echo inside the phone. Anyone else having this issue?
It's definitely not the intended noise apple added to make it seem more like a button.
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2
I have the same problem. All of a sudden today I started hearing a weird noise when I press home button. Did you ever figure the problem?
My iPhone still makes the same sound. Because it doesn't seem to be affecting the functionality of the home button, I haven't taken it to Apple.
What do you mean by restarting? A hard reset or soft etc?
Oh and I can feel the problem as well im my hand, like a weird haptic Feedback that didnt suppose to happen. Like a sprint or whatever
Yes. Weird vibration also felt along with the weird sound. I'm still with zero issues after the restore. I just swapped back over to level 2 tonight though so will post again if I experience the problem. But, so far, no more issues at all after restore from recovery mode.
Thanks for the tip about the haptic feedback setting! You're right, it's more of an annoyance than anything, and I can feel it in my hand. However, I doubt Apple will do anything about it because it doesn't affect the buttons functionality at all. Guess we're just unlucky.
I'm also having this problem where the home button makes a sharp springy sound. I'm debating on taking it to a service center because I cannot reproduce the sound as it is very random. However, i'm like super OCD about this and it annoys me to no end that there is a random occurrence of this sharp sound. Ugh.
Hi! I have the same problem. Almost the same problem. After i take the finger from home buton i can hear a noise in my speaker. Im not talking about the vibrating taptik thing. It is a noise in the speaker. It sounds like a click but it is not realy a click. This sound it was not present before 10.3.2 update. Could be something wrong in the update? My phone is new from the box. Today is the third day im using it.
I preordered my iPhone 7 on the first day, though, so I don't think that has anything to do with it
It can't be caused by which storage size you've got right? Was just thinning since I have the 128 GB and My friend the 32 GB.
I had an iPhone 7 32GB which never did this and just upgrade to an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB that does do it. It freaked me out the first time it happened, thought I might have just pressed weird or something so didn't worry about it. Then it happened again the next day so started to analyze the situation. I would have to press the home button hundreds of times to duplicate the issue so it would be impossible to take it in for service. I actually did a hard reset on the device yesterday and has been perfect till about 20 minutes ago. Was in the car and it happened again. It's like I can feel a weird haptic vibration, like a short vibration haptic response, not the normal haptic for clicking the home button and I can hear it across the entire device like towards the top, it's a springy type noise... It's like it shorts out for a very brief period of time and then back to normal. Other than that, my phone functions just fine, and to be honest, I had 3 different iPhone 7's and found weird issues (but not this issue) with every single one. I'm probably the most OCD person in the world mind you. I was shocked others were having this problem, so, I'm guessing it's a weird hardware thing but a very very very small chance it will matter to the life of the device.
Hmmmm... Interesting! I got it to do it like 3 more times on same setting and then it stopped doing it. Just tried on level 3, wouldn't do it either. LOL, so random. Honestly, I do not think this is a hardware thing. I believe it's SW. Most people wouldn't even notice this. Super picky people would and I'm one of those. I'm going to do a reload from recovery mode this evening and leave it on level 1 to see if that resolves. Will update you.
Just restored from recovery. Went to town on home button on 1 2 and 3 levels, no malfunctions. But, as I stated, I couldn't get it to do it on demand like you can. Mine was very very random. Going to leave it on level 1 moving forward and will update in two days if no malfunctions or before if anything else happens. System restore from recovery mode might be the ticket as it actually installs a fresh copy of IOS. Fingers crossed but have decided I won't spend any more time on this issue, even if it starts doing it again as it's just one of those things, nothing is perfect, not even Apple products. It will be a daily reminder that Jesus is the only perfect thing to rely on, I rejoice in any flaws I find in material things 🙂 🙂 🙂
I haven't noticed the issue anymore after doing the restore from recovery mode. I have kept it on level 1 for the two days though. However, I did swap to level 2 and 3 and went to town and couldn't get it to do it. Noticed the lock screen phone sound cuts off and sounds funky twice today and haven't noticed that before but not concerned at all about that. So, I can officially report the restore resolved the issue. But you must restore from recovery mode which is a clean install of the OS. Hard reset did not work as I tried that. On another note, I was using a magnet mount in my car which requires a metal place behind my case and I also discontinued the use of that. I really doubt that's what was causing it, but, possible. I also have an Apple Watch, which I've been using the entire time. Let me know if anyone else tries this resolution and if it works. Good luck!
