IPod Touch Home Button Loud Click

We have just bought the latest iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
The iPhone has a very quiet, soft to press, home button.
However, the iPod has a much louder, hard to press, home button which is very distracting and disappointing for a £229 device.
Does anybody else have this issue with iPod Touch?

  • IPod touch home button jammed?!

    Hello, this morning I came to my ipod touch, only to find that the home button was jammed!! By jammed, i mean it is stuck a little too far into the home button socket, and takes an enormous amount of pressure for the iPod to register that it has been pushed. I am currently out of warranty, so should I try to find a "do-it-yourself-guide?" or should I take it in to Apple Store or Best Buy? Thanks so much and ill be looking foward to what you have to say!

  • Ipod touch home button stuck and the power will not turn on

    Can someone help me?  My daughter's ipod touch 4th generation has a stuck home button.  We have changed the settings so that the alternate home button is on the screen; however, while she was using it earlier, the ipod shut off and will not turn back on.  We have tried to plug it in, hold the power button, etc.  Since the home button doesn't work, we can't hold the power and home buttons simultaneously as recommended.  Any other ideas?

    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch Home Button unresponsive

    This only started to get bad Monday. It started to be finicky about Sunday. The button isn't stuck; "clicks" like it should when pressed but the device is entirely unresponsive unless it's pressed and held to get ANY response whatsoever. Very frustrating. When pressed, it goes down fully without much pressure like it should and comes back "up" when released.
    I don't know what to do or what even caused this. It *almost* seems like a software issue, since I recently updated to 6-point-whatever iOS for the Touch 4 and that was pretty recently.
    I'll try using canned air on the button itself this weekend if there happens to be any sort of dirt underneath it.

  • IPod touch home button single tap = double tap

    Sometimes when I tap the home button on my iPod touch 4th gen (iOS 5.1.1), it acts as if I double-tapped. I have already replaced it under warranty. Is this a common issue? Should I ask apple for another swap or will it not make a difference?

    That happens to me, but only when I hold the button slightly longer than usual but still acts as though I double clicked it.

  • IPod touch home button Problems

    Sometimes my home button on my 4g iPod touch is unresponsive, usually after being asleep for a while but not always. Or sometimes 1 click registers as 2, I already tried a restore so if I go to the genius bar and they can't duplicate the issue will they still give me a replacement or not. And also if I get one will it be new or refurbished I am still under warranty by the way.

    If you bought it less than a year ago or have AppleCare, then it is in warranty and can be replaced for free.

  • IPod touch home button takes a bit longer to work

    My iPod 3G's home button responds a bit longer.I realised this when I clicked the home buttons of my sister's 3G touch and mine at the same time.It takes like a second to respond on mine wile on my sister's it takes less than a second. I kind of noticed this even before i updated to iOS 4.

    iOS 4 does tend to run slower on an older iPod. About the only thing to try, is a reboot and/or restore and make sure you don't have app(s) running in the background using CPU power. I bought an app called System that works like an Activity Monitor on a Mac. It gives you a lot of information on what is going on under the hood.
