My iPhone 4 with iOS4 had many issues with the home button..iOS5..seems to be all gone. One click, takes me to home screen or spotlight, two clicks, multitask bar. Anyone else having a better time with their home button with iOS5?
Got a tip for us?

Sounds like yours was just a software issue then. Glad you got it cleared up!
Unfortunately for me, mine's still b0rked. If I understand correctly, it's due to a defect contact in the home button assembly. As the warranty period on this phone is long gone, it's my excuse to get a new 4S.

Ya I was shocked all my clicks were registering 100% of the time after I updated, I'm used to clicking 3-4 times before getting what I wanted to do
Sorry to hear yours didn't work out, hopefully the 4S works perfectly for you! I'm somewhat jealous but am hoping the iPhone 5 comes out in June, (I'm trying to hold off until then).
Yes, I noticed that my home button was good to go, until yesterday the home button became unresponsive again like it did on iOS4...
Same here with my iPhone 4
and I was so happy for a day and a half..
Same here, I've had enough, thought the clean install + iOS 5 would solve it.
I'm headed to the Apple store next week, going to attempt an exchange.

Took my iphone 4 to apple and they ran some diagnostic tests and then told me that there was something wrong with my phone.. So they swaped it out with a brand new iphone 4. No problems with the home button now and hoping in 6 months it will be fine... but I doubt it.
LOL...I thought I was the only one
My home button feels like I got a brand new phone. It was definitely a software issue for me. I've been using iOS5 since release and I've yet to have to "double" click my "Home" button.
Kinda sucks actually, as I was going to self justify a new 4s purchase myself But iOS5 is awesome! Really, really cool...and I'm sure I'd dig Siri, but I'm fine, til stock is up and I can walk in and grab exactly what I want
