Problem with home button/iOS7 update?

I'm not sure if it's just me having this problem, but ever since I've updated my iphone to the iOS 7 update, my home button seems less… Responsive? Everytime I try and open siri up, the multitasking pages come up, even when I press the home button hard enough, and I leave my finger pressing down on the home button so siri should come up. I have an iPhone 4S. And sometimes the home button is unresponsive completely for a few seconds but when I try again it seems to work. I've never dropped my phone, got it wet a few times but it's worked fine since then. Never had this home button problem before. Any ideas why this is happening?

Water damage can take a while to make its mark on your device, so it could very well be the few instances you've gotten the iPhone wet. I had an iPod nano 6th generation and it unclipped itself from my pocket and decided to take a swim in the toilet. It took an entire week for the device to fully quit working.

Also, it's not atypical for iOS devices' home buttons to begin literally wearing out after two or three years, so age could also be a possibility… If your iPhone 4s is relatively new and under warranty, you may want to contact Apple to get it fixed. If not, it may be time for you to look into buying a new phone, or you could just stick with it for a while to see if it fixes itself (as I've heard it can happen).

Sorry, hope I helped!

  • When I press the lock button OR the home button.iPhone? When I press the lock button OR the home button, my iPhone takes a screenshot. It does the sane thing when I press the lock and home at the same time, but I know that it's supposed to happen
  • My home button and lock button don't work on my iphone 4 Okay so about 2 weeks ago my lock button stopped working and I don't know why so I went to mts store and they said to go to the apple store and i haven't been able to go yet and then tonight I was on my phone then I went to eat dinner so i put it in my sweater pocket then after dinner i took my phone out and it wan't responding! Is there anything I can do right now other than going to an apple genius? It's like 9 at night!
  • Is there an iPhone app to go to the home screen? My Home button isn't working well? IIm afraid my home button will completely stop working soon enough, and i don't currently have money to replace it. I really only need the home function, but it would be really nice if it also had a screenshot function (because screenshots need the home + lock combo) Edit: If it makes any difference, my phone is an iPhone 3GS (old, lol) and has iOS 6.1.6.
