SOFTWARE PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
If your Infinix phone screen isn’t broken and the home button is not sensitive, then it’s most likely caused by a software defect. Your Infinix home button can develop a software problem when your phone is still using an outdated system software or because of a virus that has corrupted the phone system. To fix this software issue and make your Infinix home button work again, we recommend these fixes;
Restart your phone
restarting your phone is sometimes enough to clear any malware issue causing your phone not to work. To restart your phone; Hold the power button for a few seconds till the phone goes off >>> Turn it back on. You’ll find your home button working again if it’s a software issue.
System Update
Using an outdated system software often cause various problems with your phone, one of them being the navigation bar not working. When you download and install the latest system update it clears whatever malware that is causing your home button not to work. To update your system software; Go to SETTINGS >>> ABOUT DEVICE >>> SYSTEM UPDATE >>> CHECK FOR UPDATES >>> DOWNLOAD & INSTALL TO UPDATE YOUR PHONE.
Factory reset
If updating/restarting your phone does not solve the home button problem, then a factory reset is what is required. Performing a factory reset erases all your apps, cached data & malware on the phone which gives your phone a fresh start like it was just gotten from the manufacturer. To perform a Factory reset; Go to SETTINGS >>> BACKUP AND RESET >>> FACTORY DATA RESET >>> RESET PHONE >>> INSERT PASSWORD >>> ERASE EVERYTHING.
Note: Ensure that you back up your phone before the factory reset so you don’t lose all your important files.
