I have been having issues the past month or so with my home button. Intermittently it wouldn't work at all and I would have to push it several times in order to get back to home screen or pop up active apps list. Tried everything I could find to fix it. Finally broke down and took to Apple Store today. I thought I was out of 1 yr warranty period so that is why I had waited so long. The 'Genius' played with it for a couple minutes, asked when was the last time I backed it up (which i do weekly if not more often) and then hooked it up to her diagnostic program on iPad via Bluetooth. She found out I was still in warranty for 67 more days and replaced phone on the spot! Even did a full restore from backup while I waited! I was ready to either get told to use the accessibility function of alt home button or told that was nothing they could do for me. I am so happy with Apple! I am hardly ever disappointed when I go in for any help or advice.
iv been having the same problem for the past month now and it's really is annoying! I tried opening standard app like stocks and then holding down the power button till it says "slide to power off" then release the power button and hold down the home button few seconds till it force shuts the app. This solution is supposed to help but sadly for me it didn't help.
