Loud click from home button

I recently purchased an iPhone 4 and a 3GS from AT&T. While I like the iphone 4, I have noticed that the home button on that has more travel and a noticably louder click than 3GS. Since I have never owned an iPhone before, I was hoping if the gurus on this forum can help me understand if this is a normal behavior for the iphone 4. I am especially worried if this will get worse going forward.
I would wait to hear on this forum before I take my phone to the apple store for evaluation of this issue.

Per the redesign the home button, volume buttons, and power button were designed to have a more click sense sound. It's designed like that on purpose to give it more feel to the customers.
A few don't enjoy it, but others like it or don't mind it.
Nothing to be afraid of. Just to get used to and enjoy.

  • HT201371 does touching the home button wakes up the iPhone 5s or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?

    does touching the home button wakes up the iphone 5S or do we physically have to Click on Home Button or Sleep/Wake button and then use touch id?
    What I am trying to say is that each time I have to click on the home button to wake up the iphone 5s and then it scans my print and logs me in the phone however I was hoping that by just putting the finger on the button will do the whole thing of waking up + unlocking the phone,
    Can anyone please let me know if I am wrong or if I am right? since I just bought iphone 5s and I am not sure if the sensor is working or not the way it should be.

    It sounds like it is working the way it should be. You do have to click one of the two buttons. The closest thing to doing it as a single operation is to click the Home button but don't remove your finger from the button (i.e., leave your finger lightly on the button immediately after clicking it).

  • Double-clicking the home button causes my iPad 2 to crash

    I am runing iOS 5.1  When I double-click the home button the interface crashes, and it takes me back to the "slide to unlock" screen, with the end result being that I cannot close any open applications.  Has anyone else seen this issue?  I have rebooted my iPad, and this does not make the issue go away.
    iPad 2, 32GB, WiFi only running iOS 5.1.
    Cheers,
    Cole.
    EDIT: So, for testing purposes, I turned on the multi-touch gestures and tried swiping up to bring up the task list.  As soon as I swipe up, it crashes as well, so the problem is not with the home button, but with the task list.
    Cole.

    Don't double-click it! 
    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.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • How do you close apps you hve looked at with the new software update?? You used to have to double click the home button and the apps would come up to delete bu that doesn't happen anymore.

    The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

    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.

  • Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

    I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

  • When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

    I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
    I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

    If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab.<br />
    You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

  • HT5137 I updated to ios7.0.2, when I double click on home button it brings up an app list but when I hold my finger on an icon it won't show any with a minus sign, is it no longer necessary to close apps?

    In ios 7.0.2, when you double click the home button it brings up the icons but won't allow you to show them with minus signs, is it no longer necessary to do this?

    It was never necessary except in certain unusual circumstances.

  • How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn- the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign.

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • I used to be able to double click the home button to choose to receive notifications via iPhone speaker instead of the Bluetooth. With ios7, that's gone as well as any obvious way to do it.  I don't wear my Bluetooth on my ear every minute of the day!!!!

    I used to be able to choose to receive notifications via iPhone speaker in ios6 by double clicking the home button.  Ios7 took that away and I cannot see how to do it at all.  I don't have my Bluetooth in my ear constantly!!!

    If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
    For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
    To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue.

  • How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Where did the iPod shortcut button go when you double click the home button and scroll to the left?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3.2 I have noticed that when I double click the home button the multitasking tray pops up when you scroll to the left the ipod shortcut is no longer there, it has been replaced by a safari shortcut. Is this right??

    Reset
    Have you tried rebooting the device? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. If this fails, connect it to a power source and try again holding them for at least 20 seconds.
    Reset Home Screen
    Reset All Settings
    Reset all settings on Device. On your Device, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset All Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and Appleid login information, but can result in a more stable function. On the final screen you will restore your backup or “Setup as new device” to keep current info intact.

  • When I double clicked the home button my screen changed to what looks almost like a picture negative (muted colouring) I turned it off and on but noo luck. How do I get back to my usual screen colours? Thanks for your help!).

    First time using the Apple Support Community. Trying to reset my screen so colors don't look like what can only be described as a picture negative. I recall double clicking the home button when this happened before but as that didn't work  this time would be grateful for some help. Many thanks!

    So when you triple tap the home button then it goes to negative colors, it is simple to go back. All you have to do is triple tab the home button again and it will go back if it doesnt then, go to Settings>General>Accessibility>And then switch off Invert Colors

  • Duble-clicking the Home button brings up iPod app

    Don't know if this is normal, or some kind of a software glitch ...
    My iPad is *passcode locked*. But, if I double click on Home button, before sliding the power on, this brings up the iPod app and anyone can listen to my music, thus bypassing the passcode.
    Any thoughts on this? Software version is 4.2.1

    That "music" could very well be confidential voice memos. And I didn't ask here for anyone's agreement or disagreement, but for help in a case I was missing something.
    Yes, ... it will be reported to Apple. Thanks for your help.
