iPhone 4 home button problem

I hae the exact Same problem with my iPhone 4 home button, except now, its almost completely unresponsive. I press everywhere and sometimes have to get to the point of turning my phone off and on again to get out of an application, very annoying. my problem is, that right after this started happening I also dropped the phone and shattered the screen (second time) fml. So I cant take it back to apple and just complain about the home button because they'll more then likely say its the screen.
However I wouls think Apple would be happy to do a swap put, they did it for my mate who was having simila problems, no charge.

 

I have seen this with a water damaged iPhone4. Take apart membrane button (after taking phone apart), clean with a fibre glass brush, reassemble and all works fine. Time taken 20 minutes. Cost £25 or $40. This happens to Blackberry buttons too, even without water contact.

Just send it back to apple or take it to an apple store, don't try to fix it yourself, you'll void the warranty.
If you didn't have a warranty left, I would recommend fixing it yourself, but don't bother if you still have a warranty.

 

As the above person posted, don't try and fix it yourself, it will void the warranty. Also, if it's due to water damage, even though probably not, you will be screwed and Apple will not help you.

 

take it in to the apple store

i had the same problem

i send it in, they send it back unfix, losers!

 

I know this is a bit late and all, but in case anyone else stumbles across this later.. I ended up taking my phone into the apple store, shattered screen and all and they replaced mine completely free of charge, I can't say if that happens all the time, but it was a nice bonus for me
