@slickryder7 u can just update ur iphone to ios 5 to get the assistive touch. just plug in ur iphone to ur computer, then go to itunes on ur computer then just click on "update" :)
My home button is stuck and won't go back up (it doesn't click) is there any way I can fix this, my warranty expired a long time ago and it's a jailbroken 4th Gen IPod
Worked on my iPhone 4 but is there a way to fix my home button because this whole process is really unnecessary we shouldn't have to deal with this and also my voice control turns on by itself even when my phone is locked I didn't even know I had "voice control" its calling people when I'm asleep at night by itself if you know of any solution to this problem please!!! Help!!! Thanks :)
@stars2988 Okay it's still a bid dodgey. I have the same ipod as you but I did it a couple of times and it all of a sudden started working. Have you tried the canned air in the holes yet?
@stars2988 okay lol It's like a can of hairspray, but it's air. You can use use it like to clean the keys on your keyboard. I read if you spray it in the holes in the ipod that might help, I haven't tried it yet though, I didn't buy the can yet lol It's in the elec department of stores
@kiyla29 No, mine quit working again, very frustrating. I read plugging it in and while charging hitting the on/off button and the home button at the same time will help, but I don't see how, kwim?

Or you can do what I did!!!!!! Go to your settings, click general, then click accessibility, turn your assitive touch on, and it will add a home button/and or other gestures to your screen. Fixed my problem without taking apart my phone, adding an app, or taking it to be fixed. Let me know if it works for you!
@msnlswords YOU SIR, Are a genius. TGIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET YOUR HOME BUTTON BACK PEOPLE, Instead of it being a physical button its just a button on your screen. 100% awesome and actually better than the home button anyway!!
@panchovilla1311 Go to your settings, click general, then click accessibility, turn your assitive touch on, and it will add a home button/and or other gestures to your screen. Fixed my problem without taking apart my phone, adding an app, or taking it to be fixed. Let me know if it works for you!
CAN YOU NOT JUST PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO LOCK YOUR PHONE THEN PRESS IT AGAIN THEN SLIDE TO UNLOCK AND YOU GET TO YOUR HOME SCREEN ? DUH ! YOU DON'T NEED THAT PASSCODE THING ! THAT JUST MAKES IT MORE COMPLICATED ! DUH ! !
@CorrieGirlNy Go to your settings, click general, then click accessibility, turn your assitive touch on, and it will add a home button/and or other gestures to your screen. Fixed my problem without taking apart my phone, adding an app, or taking it to be fixed. Let me know if it works for you!
This was super simple and quick, and worked wonders for me! Hope it helps!!!
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH i completely broke my iphone home button and im still waiting for the new home button from amazon and i thot my iphone would be useless.
OH MY GOD!! thank you SO MUCH!!!!! You helped me a loot. i was getting so frustrated with my phone... seriously thank you! Mine is an iphone4 and it worked perfectly.
take your iphone cable and plug it into the bottom of your phone. no need to plug into the computer. now grip the part right where it is plugged into the phone and slightly bend it up towards the screen...just a little...bam guaranteed to work!!! use at your own risk cause i'm not responsible if you break anything.
@nitesh2019 what should i exactly do? that white thing that plugs into the iphone, should i bent that towards the screen? (it bents a bit if i do but doesnt work)
Dude you are actually the only who gives me a Half-Solution
THANKS!!!
What happen was Apple codex my iPhone 4 the way that I can use Home Button, so I can JailBreak any more or go in to DFU mode. I can put the device in DFU mode when It's not conected to USB/Computer, Just I put the cable, the Home button is useless.
Thanks.. I'll try this now.
This is me in case you need anything (I got more that a couple thousands iPhone APP's.
@datsunz Guy, thank you so much. I'm sure somebody made a video about doin it, but I hadnt made it that far. The icon is annoying, but it works perfectly and you can move it. This'll do until I can get my home button fixed. Thanks again.
Just upgrade to OS5 then goto to general setting and turn on accessibility and turn on assistive touch. This will give you a virtual home button on the lower right of your screen.
@BlandAccount try this (unsure if it works) plug the device into the computer, wait for itunes to open and then HOLD the home button until Voice control appears, apparently this resets the home button
You're a lifesaver!!! ANOTHER TIP FOR OTHERS: Be sure to change your passcode settings to require the code immediately as opposed to after 1 or 2 minutes for faster return. I wasn't about to go get a new phone this close to the release of a new iphone, but I did contemplate throwing my phone out of a window... of a jet.... 40,000 ft above haha Thanks again
Omgee it worked! i have been soooo frustrated with no help from apple repair and phone carrier which is unacceptable seeing how common this issue is! you outwitted the computer bascically and i thank you. now i will see out the 3 months of contract and my phone carrier twree and apple have lost a customer.
wow!
