In this How To guide from iJailbreak.com you will learn how to recalibrate the iOS home button to be much more responsive and to fix home button errors.
Recalibrate Home Button
Step 1) – The very first thing you will need to do is launch a stock iOS app like the Calendar, Stocks, YouTube etc.
Step 2) – Once the stock iOS app of your choice has been launched you will need to hold the power button (located on the top of your iOS Device) until the Slide To Power Off toggle appears.
Step 3) – As soon as you see the Slide To Power Off toggle appear you will need to quickly hold the home button until this toggle disappears.
Step 4) – When it does disappear you will have successfully recalibrated your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s home button.
Congratulations! With your newly recalibrated home button, you should notice you have a much more responsive home button.
