How To Improve your iPhone Home Button Responsiveness

If you’ve used your iPhone for quite some time, you might have noticed that the Home button became less responsive after a while. iPad owners might jump in at this point and admit they have the same problem and until they will get the chance to upgrade to the next generation iPad, they need to take care of the unresponsive button now. Well, the teams at the iDownload blog came up with some little neat tricks to help us all recalibrate the home button of our iPhones and iPads and to make it as good as new, or nearly.
If the sluggish response of the home button isn’t a direct consequence of the iDevice being dropped somewhere, then the issue is software related and can be fixed the same way.
The first step is to open a stock app then the user needs to press and hold the power button. A familiar “slide to power off” message should appear and now it’s the time to release the power button and start focusing on the home button. Pressing the home button until the “slide to power off” message disappears and the app force quits should do the trick. Now the home button should respond more quickly. It’s all explained in this video.
Probably this trick is flying around over tips and tricks websites, but is easy, reliable and proven, so a quick reminder doesn’t hurt.

  3. If time has made the home button of your iPhone less accurate, there are various techniques worth trying. Restoring the home button may often be resolved with a simple recalibration: press and hold the sleep/wake button until the “slide to power off” slider appears, release the sleep/wake button and press and hold the home button until you see the home screen again. In case that does not do the trick, you could also try gently rubbing the button with a cloth and a small quantity of isopropyl alcohol. In more extreme cases, software updates or even professional repairs will be needed.
