"Home" button and Touch ID dead after few water damage
Recently, I took my iPhone 6 tubes with me. It is in a case of Lifeproof which for me has always been impervious to water. For some reason, this time a few drops of water seeped into the 'home' button and contact ID no longer work, and Siri now appears at random times. I'm no stranger to dismantle iPhones for repair I do my own repairs if the warranty is up, but I ask, would simply replace the home button / Touch ID unit fix it? The rest of the phone works perfectly, I even typed this on this subject.
Well, if fix it you yourself, you cancel all Apple support.
Also, if I remember correctly, ID contact in the phone communicates with something in the motherboard and the two are interconnected. I think it was a measure of security/encryption to ensure data were insured.
If you change the ID of the button home/Touch yourself, you break this connection and will probably have problems. Better to make an Apple store and have their support.

Put it on wait ten minutes if the phone did not come one, then hold down the sleep/Home button until you see the apple logo and then release, make sure that the phone is still connected to the charger.

My iPhone 5, iOS 9.0.2 does not respond to touch. (broken touchscreen) and my home button is broken. my battery is fully charged so that it would take too long to wait until it turns off. I need a way to Hard reset it without a button at home and the touch screen. I know there are 3rd party apps that could do this, but I can't open my phone (no password protection) to 'trust' on this computer. If there are applications that could work around this? Any help is appreciated.
There is no way to do it. You have 2 hardware problems. Time to replace the phone.

Have you tried to put it to factory settings, without using the last backup? Test the function of the home button. If it works, restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your device to factory settings - Support Apple iOS
If the factory reset does not help, get the phone checked by Apple:

Action-> download-> when you click the CSV, it will send a request like "CSV". Change the columns that you want to include in the output csv file. Go to the Condition section,
Condition type: request is NOT contained in the Expression 1

This column will not include in the csv file.

Bike Turbo G: home button and right does not, without quick settings and issues more
My bike Turbo G suddenly crashed last night, while I was working with Photos of Google. The phone is about 1 month, purchased from Flipkart. Here are the questions that have emerged all of a sudden:
- No function button Home and the right button. They do not work.
- No quick drop-down settings menu. All of a sudden is not working.
- Cannot transfer from phone to computer I choose is no longer the option to transfer files. (no menu drop-down)
- No notification.
- Camera twist-gesture does not.
- Flashlight chopping gesture does not.
- No lock screen.
- Option not available factory reset. Reset the phone option is grayed out.
Tried Recovery Mode (power + flight to the down button, then flight Power + up button) but the problems are still there.
While Googling found that other users have had the same problems.
What is the solution? Help, please!
This happens when the system: OS crashes. U go to Recovery Mode and then choose Wipe Cache partition and after wiping Cache Partition, choose the device to reboot.
Wipe Cache partition will delete your personal files or anything like that. Erase all dump and error and cache generated by the Android operating system.
I hope that it is surely help you.

Cisco Telepresence SX20 and Touch 8 Configuration after paired
Hello
I successfully connected and combined the SX20 Cisco's Telepresence and Cisco Telepresence Touch 8. Before using the 8 key, we used the remote control instead. As a result, I have two questions about this.
1. as far as I know, when I use the 8 key, the remote control cannot be used. Is it possible to use both of them?
2. How can I change the background of my SX20 touch 8? Previously, the remote I can easily choose the background for my SX20. But after pairing with Touch 8, background in my SX20 become a blue large clock. I really want to have a different background but cannot find the way how to change.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bagus Hanindhito
After you connect the 8 Touch, you can still use the remote control, you will need to put on the SX20:
SystemUnit MenuType experimental configuration: full
I think that the standard background when using a touchscreen device is what you see, blue with large clock. However, after the MenuType return in full which will give you the full OSD which is used with the remote and not that of the button, you may be able to change the background then.
