Home Button delay

For some reason my iPad mini with Retina Display seems to always be half a second behind other devices when I use the home button to close an app. My friends iPad Air does not have this problem, and both are on iOS 7.1. I usually don't notice it unless I use the devices side by side, doing speed tests and whatnot. My mothers iPhone 5 even exits apps half a second quicker, and so does my iPod 5, with exit times being just about the same as the iPhone 5. All of these devices are on 7.1. This little anomaly is strange, but it doesn't really bother me, just kind of curious whether it is a hardware problem or not. Also, my home button makes a much louder clicking noise than my friends iPad Air, and my moms iPhone 5. This delay also exists for double clicking for multitasking, but does not for triple clicking to open up the accessibility shortcuts. Siri also has about the same time of delay, but I haven't been able to test this compared to my friends iPad Air. The issue for Siri delay may just be with iOS 7 having lag problems with Siri.

Oh crap, sorry I remembered this as soon as I posted... The home click speed option in accessibility. I had it on slow because I noticed myself sometimes failing to double click fast enough to open multitasking... Turned it back to default and it exits in a snap. Sorry!

How to fix delay in home button

I'm having a big delay in the home button on my new iPad 3. This never happened with my iPad 1. Is there a fix?

Try a 'hard' reset. Press home and sleep button at the same time and wait for it to turn off, ignore the Power slide. It'll reboot on its own.

Why is my iPhone home button not working?

Recent;y my iPhone 4 home button has intermittently stopped going "home" and just stay on the last page selected. I spoke with an apple customer service person and the said that if the horizontal tray at the bottom of the display could be too full ad that would cause a delay in the home button working. Any suggestions?

If this has anything to do with software, a back up and restore is always the best option to do! First you will want to create a back up via this link:

After you are comfortable that you saved all of your information, do a system restore back to factory settings! the reason is because if you can prove to apple, that in factory settings that the phone is not operating as expected, so long as your in warranty they will service the product. If you are outside, you should only have to pay either $169 (Canada) $149 (USA) for an iphone 4. It may be a little more expensive for the 4S as it is the newest product. Those same prices apply to a iphone 3G and 3GS

Home button lagging, up to hours

Last night my Home button just stopped working. So i started using the AssistiveTouch, then when i was sending a text, then my phone started to use the home button by itself. Like all my clicks had been queued up. I'm talking hours afterwards.
Then for a bit, the button worked like it should. But after i put it to sleepmode, the same thing happened.
And just now, i playing Candy crush(lol!) it just started again. I couldn't play because it kept going using the home button by itself. Starting voice control etc etc..
I have tried resetting rebooting the phone, I have tried to reset the phone and I have tried to recalibrate the home button.
I mean, I could live with a few seconds delays, but 10 hours? Nope
Any advice is appreciated, otherwise i'll guess I have to go to the closest store.

Hello VALLT,
It sounds like your iPhone's home button is taking a very long time to respond. I found an article with some steps to address this. You can skip any of the steps you have taken (like restarting and resetting the phone), but it looks like the next step is to restore your iPhone:
The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. For further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications see this article
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone
Seek service is the issue is still occurring.

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community.

4s slow home button

My home button reacts VERY slow on my brand new iPhone 4S. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm already on my second 4S and it's my first Apple product

Hey, I'm having a similar issue with a slow home button response (while waking up the unit and closing apps). It's just a slight delay, but still annoying. It's my second unit too - first one kept rebooting on its own. I've restored twice, but this doesn't seem to have improved the home button speed. Any other suggestions?

FAULTY HOME BUTTON AFTER 2.2

I have been having this problem when I hit the home button right after I updated to 2.2 its been like if it had a software delay problem, but its gotten worst and worst, over the months of its new update release, so i decided to give it a restore, well that got it worst, then it did a complete erase and guess what that got it to point where the home button doesn´t even work anymore there is a huge bug on the new 2.2 release with the home button I hope apple get it fix. because I never had a problem with this ipod touch first gen till now with the update since 2.0

I could tell you this if it happen just right after the guarantee, or if it is still in guarantee you still have the possibility to get a new ipod if you live in the states go to the apple store and talk to a genius if this is the case then you have the right to replace it for a new one, I just had mine died out on me right after a year of use which is what apple give as to guarantee mine had a year and two months but all **** broke lose when I upgraded to 2.1, its been giving me problems with the home button, so I went to the shop where I got it in spain and they had it check and I was told that the home button is faulty physically, and that I needed to talk to apple to get an extension guarantee and they are going to replace it for me.
On the second hand watch out with the screen also when I took off the iSkin screen protector and silicon cover, I wipe it clean with the cloth and I think something was in the cloth that scratch the top of the screen where it is black, not on top of the middle of the screen and guess what it had just gotten a minor gouge which something was in the iPod touch black cloth while I try to clean all finger prints and slanted it slightly to see if the screen was clean and saw a curvy swigle line that wouldn´t go away and yes it had some deep little gouge so watch out people the glass on all ipod touch and iphone are not scratch proof.

Where'd my Home button go?

In order to try clearing up some delays and problems with Safari, I deleted my Preferences File. However, since this reset, my "Home" button is gone. The "Refresh" and "Bookmark" buttons are both there...but no "Home." How do I get it back?

Go to View > Customize Address Bar. You will be able to drag the Home button back onto the toolbar.

The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

The home button on my iPod Touch is unresponsive

The home button on my iPod Touch is not working. Any app that I'm in, I can't get out of because when I press the home button, nothing happens. Is there a way to fix this?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

How much would it be to replace an iPhone 5s home button?

My phone received some water damage and it looks like the home button needs to be replaced. Anybody know how much it would cost to replace?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

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...
