Double-Click Home Button Hasn't Worked for me since 1.1.1 upgrade

Hi all,
I've been waiting around, sort of wondering if anyone has the same problem as I do. With 1.1.1, on of my favorite features I was excited for was the double-clicking of the home button. But this feature works far from properly on my iPhone.
When playing music, double-clicking the home button does display the iPod controls, and that's nice. And when locked, the home pressed twice also correctly shows the iPod controls. But the features that work properly stop here.
When set to the home menu, double tapping the button causes absolutely nothing to happen. I've tried it many times. Making sure music isn't playing, making sure the switch that says "Show iPod controls instead when music is playing" is turned off. I wanted this feature so bad I've done 3 software restores and nothing.
The same goes for Contact Favorites. What's interesting is that if I have the phone unlocked (and I can be in any app) and the double-click setting is set to show Favorites, I can double-click the home button and it will show the favorites. But never when locked. The only double-click feature that works from the locked screen is iPod controls. And the iPod controls like to show even when it's not set to nor pending music playing.
Is anyone else out there having these issues? I'm out of ideas of how to fix it.

If I'm following corectly it sounds like you've done a bit of trouble shooting yourself. Can you take it to an Apple store an let them check it out?

  • When I double click Home button, all of my apps don't show in the bar -- only the four that reside there. Did a reset last night to fix the Home button (it sort of works now) but now this. Any ideas on why I can't do the fast app switch now?

    When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?

    My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active.  The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active.  Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first.  As a test, try accessing the Notes application.  Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE.  Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.  The Notes app should be on the far left.

  • Frequent LowMemory crash when starting multitasking by double-click Home button

    After upgrading iOS 7, my iPhone 5 crashes when double-clicking home button for multitasking.
    The crush shows white apple logo and reboots my iPhone.
    It occurs about 2-3 times a day.
    Every time crash occurs, Diagnostic & Usage Data would add a LowMemory log, which is exactly the time iPhone crashes.
    Therefore I guess it's because of running out memory.
    I've tried Reset My Phone, Reduce Motion, Disable Background App Fresh..., but none of it worked.
    My iPhone begins to crash 3 days after resetting.
    Does anybody know how to solve it?

    I think you mean crash.
    Also, I am going to assume you've tried restarting and reseting. What you can do is back up the important information in your phone (using either iTunes or iCloud) and restore the device as new. Then, you can restore from your backup. This will remove any and all software bugs.

    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.

  • 3.1.2 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? I don't know it's a design change or a bug, but for me it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
    This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.2?

    It's a design change, not a bug. Although I do have to agree with you on that I preferred what double-clicking the home button originally did. There is even settings (in general settings if I can remember right) on what double-clicking the home button performs, but that isn't even an option on it.
    And nope this is not fixed or redesigned in 3.1.2.
    Hope that answers your question,
    Enjoy!

    See if this fixes things.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Iphone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....tried usb to computer and directo to wall socket. help?

    phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?

    Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

    Those are not necessarily running. It's a list of previously opened apps for the most part. You can flick the cards upwards to get rid of them.

  • 3.1.3 double clicking home button when music is not playing

    Is the bug that double clicking home button while music is not playing didn't bring up the iPod control fixed? For me, it seems definitely a bug since it doesn't give anything good. Clicking home button once already terminates the application, why would anyone use double clicking to exit the application too?
    This is why I'm still using 3.0. Is this fixed in 3.1.3?

    Jeong-hun Sin, 3.1.3 has the same issue, and I do not think Apple is ever going to fix this issue. They still haven't even fixed the live updating playlist sort order issue...
    roaminggnome he's referring to a pop-up controls issue that has been talked about on this forum ever since the release of the 3.1 firmware.

    In 3.0 and older versions, if you're in an app/game you can double-click the home-button to access the iPod pop-up controls to resume the playback of a song/podcast that had been previously paused/stopped.
    In 3.1, if a song had been previously paused you cannot launch the pop-up conrols to resume the playback of the song. You're forced to exit the app that you might be in (lets say safari, or a game), and then resume playback using the music app.
    Jeong-hun Sin, I upgraded to 3.1.3 a few days ago, and have found a few improvements:
    - Many 3D games are MUCH smoother/faster under 3.1.3, than 3.0. I downgraded back to 3.0 just to see if I was just imagining things, but games like Coconut-racer, and Asphalt 5 were not as smooth as they were under 3.1.3.
    - If you happen run apps that have live video streaming where the video playback controls do not appear (e.g the BBC world, Al Jazeera news, sure there's more), the iPod Touch no longer randomly reboots when using those apps.

  • My new iphone 5 screen does not rotate from portrait to landscape.  It is stuck in portrait.  I checked and its not locked (double clicked home button scrolled over and the circle arrow does NOT  have lock inside it).

    My screen refuses to rotate (the home screen).  I already double clicked home button and scrolled over, the circle arrow does NOT have the lock inside it.  I went thru all the settings and can find nothing to try and fix this.  Do I need to send the phone back?  Is it broken?  I just got it yesterday.  It has not been damaged in any way.  Please help.
