Unresponsive iPhone home button?
So for the past couple months, I have been having issues with the home button on my iPhone 4. I purchased it in October of 2010, so I knew these problems would start occuring sooner or later.
What is starting to happen, is that I'm noticing my iPhone's home button to be a bit unresponsive. Not sticky, but when I double tap to access my multitasking menu I feel like I have to try 10 times of double tapping before it actually takes me to the menu.
When I do this, my screen is always jumping around to the home button, and the search menu, and this is very frustrating. I honestly need a solution because I don't think I can take this anymore! Maybe if there's a recalibration method of some sort.
I also hate it when I'm playing in an app and I want to access the menu. It just drops everything I'm doing and I end up losing my saved place. This makes the multitasking feature on my phone completely useless!
Maybe, during those 2 years you spilled liquid in the home button? You can try bringing it to apple and shedding a few bucks to get it paid. Or it should be time to get a new phone.
Visit Apple Store and get it repaired.

- Unresponsive home button on iPhone 6 I've had my iPhone 6 for nearly two years, and yesterday, the home button became unresponsive. It was working perfectly fine before that. When I reboot my phone, I get a notification saying "Unable to activate Touch ID on this phone". It never said that before the home button stopped being responsive. I also have battery problems with this phone. Is there a way to fix this?

- 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.
