Double Click Home Button
So I updated to 1.1.1 and tried out the double home button press. I had seen listing about it taking you to favorites or bringing up an volume/pause/etc. window if you are playing music. But I hadn't seen this anywhere – maybe I just missed it.
If your phone is sleeping and you press it twice it also brings up the iPod playback controls. Even if music isn't already playing. I don't have a passcode set on my phone. When I did, that didn't work. Just a little cool thing that made me happy!

I have a 3GS and I just updated to the 4.0 software...why did I loose control of my home button?!?!
Because you updated.
Why can't I decide what to do with my home button?? I've always double clicked to get my favorites on my phone...it made using the phone app on this thing barely tolerable.
Chill. Seriously? Barely tolerable? You have to do like one extra tap now. Is that really the end of the world considering you have gained multi-tasking and fast app switching (which is really useful after you've used it for a few days)?

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. -
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.

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! -
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.

Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!
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. -

When i double click home button, I can see many applications running. How do I terminate these?
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 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.

The home screen doesn't rotate to landscape mode. Only apps do.
Good eye Rob, I didn't even catch that. -

When I opened my iPad today, the icon for Safari browser was gone. It is nowhere to be found; not even when I double click home to bring up recently used programs. I don't see any other ones that are affected this way. Any help will be appreciated.
