I can tell that your sim recognising problem is all about battery removal.

If you goto setting general date and time settings you will see the time and date reset to 2000 instead of 2014 since battery removal.

Just set up time manually to back today. After that it will start recognising your sim card again.

Power button and home button question is not clear. More detail will help you to get quick answer.

Good luck ...

Thank you for reply!

When i completed the phone i wasn't able to power on. It turns on after connect charger. After when i push the power button, it shows you home screen. When i'm keep pushing the power button, siri will start. Power button just took over the function of home button.

Is it jailbroken ?

There is a software in cydia called activator. It changes button functions.

It sounds like a software problem to me.

Because power button and home button connectors on mainboard not too close to each other. I dont think its a hardware problem.

Looks like software problem. You can try assistive touch in settings -> general -> accessibility

It may help to fix your problem temporary.
