My Home Button question.

I just got my Touch yesterday (a great bit of kit!) and it seems that sometimes when I press the Home button it goes back into the main (Home) menu quicker than others, sometimes I have to press the button 2 or 3 times before it goes back to the main menu.
I'm only pressing the button gently, am I supposed to hold it down for a few seconds for it to work properly?
I did a search and found similar posts but nothing that really answered this question.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info guys. I am pressing the button a bit harder and even though it still sometimes takes 3 or 4 presses it still goes back home, just me being a bit paranoid with the new toy I suppose! At the end of the day it works perfectly and does what it says on the box.
Thanks for the replies.

  • Home Button Question

    I purchased an iPhone yesterday and so far really like it. However, the "Home" button seems stiff and requires me to press it two or three times before it responds. Is this common? Thanks!

    Mine just requires one press, but I have to press harder than I think I should have to.
    Get in the habit of giving it a fairly stiff press, and longer in duration than just a stab.
    Compare it to any Friend's iphone if possible.
    If that still seems wrong, take it in to the Apple store and ask if its working right.

  • Ipod touch home button question

    hey guys, this is my second replacement white 8gb ipod touch. lately, my home button doesnt always respond. i've noticed the button is loose to the touch. i have restored with itunes. will apple be able to replace the button, or the ipod? i REALLY dont feel like replacing the ipod AGAIN

    Apple stores do not "fix" iPods. If yours is defective, it will be exchanged for a new or refurbished one.

  • Home button on German iPhone question

    Hi,
    after envying my american friends for what seemed an eternity, I finally got my iPhone on Friday here in good old Germany and LOVE it as expected...
    Here's my question: in general settings it says I should be able to choose what I want displayed after tapping the home button twice... no matter what I do it will always display the home page...
    no big deal but hey, if it's a feature we WANT it, right?

    you probably aren't double clicking fast enough.
    also, you can't choose anything you want, you can either have it display the homepage or your phone favorites.
    if the ipod is playing music and you aren't on the music screen then double clicking on the home button will display controls for the music.

  • Mine is not a question but I received the solution to the iphone 4s not discovering bluetooth, you hold the top button and the home button until the apple logo comes up and then let it reboot, put your bluetooth in pairing mode, and then turn on bluetooth

    My new iphone 4s would not discover bluetooth.  I called apple, and the guy was great!!!  He told me to hold the top button and the home button together and do not let go until the apple logo came up, this would do a hard reset.  Then when it reboots, you turn on your bluetooth in paring mode, and then turn on the bluetooth on your iphone 4s and it will find your bluetooth device.  Simple, yet it works!!!  Hope this helps those of you having the same problem I was having trying to connect your bluetooth.

  • Home Button Troubleshooting Question

    Hello
    Is there a way to see if the home button assembly (screen side), or the home button terminals (battery/case side) to see which is causing my home button not to work? I have one ordered to replace, but I just want to test it out to make sure I am fixing the right thing.
         I've already tried cleaning it, and to re-calibrate it by hitting the home button until the power off slider and holding the home button down until the app that is up disappears (or is that only for a iPhone 4)
    Also what causes the power button to get stuck, does something break/bend or something else?
    Thanks
    Ken

  • Really innocuous question about the home button.

    Was just wondering if the home button having a tiny amout of "play," sort of side to side, is normal.
    Thanks for humoring me.

    Yes it does. When you press the Home button, it usually produces a slight clicking sound.

  • My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

    My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

    Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My  iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
    I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

  • What happens to the apps when I press the home button on iPod touch?

    Yeah, I know that sounds obvious, but I need to know the idea behind it. In iOS 4, you can multitask, but only if you have an iPod touch 3rd generation (32 or 64 GB). I don't have an iPod touch 3rd generation; I have the 8 GB 2nd generation, which I upgraded to iOS 4, so I have no multitasking for 3rd party apps.
    So my question is: On my 2nd generation iPod touch that runs iOS 4, if I close a 3rd party app that uses Push Notifications (such as Facebook or Textfree Unlimited) by pressing the home button, will it still run in the background?
    Message was edited by: dlee099

    I'm not dead certain of this, but I think the only push mail supported is Apple's MobileMe. When you launch another app the current app is closed. The Home button should close any running app. The only exception I've noted is if you are playing music on the Touch which seems to continue playing even when running another app.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

    The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

    It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
    I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

    edit: If you go to the Firebug forums, you'll see this is now a known problem. http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4012 for the issue tracker.

  • Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

    A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
    I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.
