Complaint on iOS 7.1 home button modifications

I use the double click home button for moving between open apps and also triple click on home for screen reading. The latest modification is very hard to do that now

Apple is not here

  • IOS 8.0 Home button misfunction

    I have an iPhone 5 16GB unit that I've had for under two years and used it on a regular basis, not overly use it. My phone was working fine but noticed that when I installed iOS 8 I began to experience issues with the Home button. When I am in an app then press the Home button once to return to the home screen, one of two things tends to happen: either pressing the Home button once simulates a double-tap that brings me to all the open apps, or it simulates a tripe-tap that starts Guided Access. I have had to disable Guided Access because of this issue, but still, when I tap on the home button once many times it simulates a double-tap to open all active apps.
    Has anybody experience this? Again, I don't overly use my iPhone so I don't think it's a hardware problem, and this started to happen after I installed iOS 8. Thank you in advance for any help.

    Apple normally does not read these messages.  Most of us are just iPad users with too much time on our hands!
    I suggest you report the problem to Apple by providing feedback at <iPad Feedback>.  That may be the only way to have the problem addressed in a future iOS update.

  • Ios 5 home button unresponsive

    so i got my iphone 4 the day they came out here in canada and havent had a problem with it
    shortly after updating to iOS 5 the home button started to become unresponsive. at first it was just once or twice a day and slowly got worse over time.
    i took it in to a local apple store and they took it apart and cleaned it but were unable to resolve the issue they did help me set up assistive touch so i could at least get out of apps and back to the home screen.
    the iOS 5.01 came out after installing it the problem went away completely for about a week and then started to reapper
    I just did a backup/restore and hope that will help for the time being.
    has anyone else had this problem and if so are there any solutions

    My iPad 1 has the same problem,but it did in iOS4, too— affects both orientations, but sometimes one more than the other. (Which one is worse switches back and forth over time, though!)   It started about one year in to owning the unit, maybe a little less.
    Alarmingly, I found that if I applied some gentle pressure to the back of the iPad in a sort of "uneven" way (more pressure on one side than the other) it often fixd it for a while, until the next time I put it in my bag or leave it sitting for a while.  Could it be a hardware issue, that you just happened to notice now because upgrading made you place the iPad in a certain way or press the home button a lot more in a short period of time while playing with it?

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • HT5192 After installing IOS 5.1, I am unable to double click the home button and access the camera. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does a fix or work aroud exist?

    After installing IOS 5.1, I am unable to double click the home button and access the camera. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does a fix or work aroud exist?

    I just updated--my Camera is a disaster.  Yes, I know how to turn (and position) the Camera now. However, every photo I take is UPSIDE DOWN in the Camera Roll OR Photo Stream.  Even worse, a number of my Apps (Weather Underground, for example) are ALSO now upside down.  Has anyone here experienced these serious orientation problems after this update?  I've read the 'Manual' and its as if it doesn't exist.  However, if I leave the Apple site, customer complaints about orientation abound...
    This is my first time posting here about an issue (well, the same issue - I posted last week about the Camera, and no one responded).  Any advice at all about how to get this corrected is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Home button issues after iOS 8 update

    Has anyone experienced problems with their home button after the iOS 8 update? When I am trying to exit an app using the home button I press it once, but then the iPhone acts as if I have pressed it twice quickly and brings me to the "multitasking screen". It doesn't always do this error, but it is not uncommon and it is very annoying. It never did this before the iOS 8 update. I may try to just restore the iPhone but first I want to see if anyone else is having the same problems or has any suggestions how to fix it. Thanks!!

    Not sure if you remember, but on previous iPhones you can reset your home button by doing this:
         >Open your Stocks App
         >while there, press & hold the power button as if you're about to turn the device off
         >once the "slide to power off" screen pops up, stop pressing the power button and press & hold the home button.  Your screen may flash a couple times but it should return to your apps screen (or home screen, w/e screen you were at before) and the Stocks App should close.  Supposedly this resets the home button
    OR
    go into your Accessibility setting under General and set your "Home-click speed" to default.  That setting may have changed when you updated.
    Let me know if this works...

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

  • Problem with home button and "messages" app after upgrade to iOS 4.1

    Hello,
    I have noticed two interesting problems with my iPhone 4. I am not sure if it is in conjunction with the upgrade to the iOS 4.1 software, but I did not notice the problem prior to this. Both of these problems are very odd and are hit or miss. I have tried restoring and the problem is still present. Also, since both problems have presented at the same time, that is why I am starting to believe it is not hardware...
    Problem 1: The home button has become considerably unresponsive. This is not all the time, but it does happen a lot. Sometimes it won't work for about 5-8 clicks and I have to use the power button to access the phone.
    Problem 2: When composing a new text message the cursor would always default into the "To:" section of the app which allows you to easily type what contact you are trying to message. However, I am having the issue now occasionally when I am in the messages app and select to compose a new text message that the cursor now defaults into the chat box (where you type your actual message). This is very annoying and I know that this is not the intended behavior of this.
    Please let me know if anyone has experienced similar issues and can provide me with some feedback.

    I have not experienced the same.
    I have tried restoring and the problem is still present.
    You restored from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
    If whatever software problem is causing this is included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
    Try restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to see if this makes any difference. If not, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Home button is not working sinds ios 5.1.1 update

    I bought my iPad 2 2 weeks ago and everything was working fine. I dit an update of the software and my home button is not working anymore. Could someone please help me out? Thanx in advance

    Try to recalibrate your home button.
    Step 1) – The very first thing you will need to do is launch a stock iOS app like the Calendar, Stocks, YouTube etc.
    Step 2) – Once the stock iOS app of your choice has been launched you will need to hold the power button (located on the top of your iOS Device) until the Slide To Power Off toggle appears.
    Step 3) – As soon as you see the Slide To Power Off toggle appear you will need to quickly hold the home button until this toggle disappears.
    Step 4) – When it does disappear you will have successfully recalibrated your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s home button.

  • IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

    Hey everyone,
    I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
    0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
    1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
    2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
    3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
    4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
    5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
    I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
    It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
    I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
    Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
    thanks a lot in advance
    Added more info ~ 

    I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
    1.  Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150. 
    2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
    3.  The Home button still was intermittent.  I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.  This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
    4.  I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone.  While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously.  I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
    5.  I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
    The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
    6.  As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings.  This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
    Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4.  So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

  • After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button. Any other way to close open apps?

    After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button.  Any ideas

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.
