Iphone 5 Phone favorites no longer Home button double-click?

Double-clicking the Home button on the iphone 5 no longer brings up the Phone Favorites.  Is there another shortcut way to do it or is the shortcut gone?

Yes, it most certainly does, which is why I'm here in the first place.
Apparently this is a feature that has been gone for a while, now that I see some older posts.  (I did try searching before posting but came up with nothing!).  Next I need to figure out how to close apps.
Upgraded from iphone 3G so pardon my ignorance of recent and not-so-recent changes...

  • IOS 7.1 Upgrade - home button double click not working most of the time

    Hi,
    Not sure, if anyone else had encountered this issue after upgrading to iOS7.1.
    I am using iPhone5S 32 GB and it was working fine with home button (double click, mostly used to see & close other applications running in background) till I upgraded to iOS7.1. After iOS7.1 upgrade, most of the time, I am unable to see running applications. After trying for 4-5 times, I managed to see running application
    Is there any fix or workaround for this issue?

    Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
    I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
    If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

  • I have bought a IPhone 4 from Malaysia, my home button is not working. I want to replace the phone under warranty but all service centres mention that its country specific and I need to get it replaced only at malaysia. Can anyone guide me what to do????

    The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
    Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
    You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider
    in India but there have been many similar posts to yours
    and I am not aware  of them assisting  with an iPhone from
    outside India

  • My iphone's screen goes black and it behaves like that it is switched off.No switches work and the power button also does not respond.The ringtone do not also respond.The only way to switch on the phone is to press  home button and  power button together.

    Pressing the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button together until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a reset.
    If no change after a reset, the next step is restoring your iPhone.

    it depends on where you purchase it and the carrier you choose.

  • Hello, I recently cracked the bottom part of my iPhone 5 right by the home button, would it be beneficial to put a screen protector over the cracks so it won't break anymore? I've cracked it twice now and can't afford to fix it again

    How did you crack the screen using a Lifeproof case??

  • I have a white iPhone 4 16gb and the home button doesn't sit flush with my screen, it feels like it has sunk down a little. Warranty expires June 2012 so it is under warranty, Would i be illegible for a replacement? Thanks

    No way really for anyone here to give you an answer to that question.  You would need to either send it to Apple for evaluation, or take it into the genius bar at a nearby Apple Store and ask them about it.  Only an Apple employee could make the call, and they would need to see and handle it to decide.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I here a croaking and creaking noise every time I grasp my phone, especially around the home button.

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

  • I am no longer able to double click on a file and have it open.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

    I am no longer able to double click on a file and have it open.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Droid Razr home button double-tap

    On my Motorola Droid Razr, under the application settings I have the double tap home launch set to voice commands, and the voice recognizer setting set to VLingo, but double tapping the home button starts the native voice recognizer, not VLingo. Any ideas as to how to get VLingo to launch? Thanks in advance!
