1.) Open any application | |
2.) Press and hold the power button until the slide to shutdown swipe bar appears. | |
3.) Release Power button | |
4.) Press and hold Home button Lightly | |
until screen returns to icon screen | |
5.) Enjoy your functioning home button!!! | |
This procedure recalibrates the home button after normal wear or heavy use. |

Are you sure this recalibrates it? I was under the impression that it force-quits the current application. Perhaps it works because pressing and holding the button dislodges dust. |

Worked perfectly for me. Finally, double tapping for multitasking works properly! |

Wrong. Doing this action invokes the old 'force quit application' for pre-4.0 devices. It does nothing for your Home Button. |

alanzeino is right, this is nothing more than a placebo. By the way, how exactly do you press the home button "lightly"? |
