Why can't I sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button?

My sleep/wake button doesn;t work anymore, and I want to be able to sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button. That would be much more useful than the 3 stupid choices I have now: "Home, Search, and iPod."

The home button already takes you home. So choice 1 is stupid. To search all you have to do is press home and swipe to the right; so choice 2 is also stupid. Choice 3 is ******** because I can just click "music."

Why can't double clicking home do something useful? Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?

"Useful" s subjective. The options are helpful to many.

" Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?"

My button has lasted for three years. I know no one personally who has a broken powerbutton.

Perhaps it is simply that your ipod has an issue. Maybe you are blowing this out of all proportion.

Maybe i should expect my button to work, and maybe i should expect there to be an easier fix than having to take my ipod apart. Which risks it not working anymore, because one annoyingly neccasary feature on iPod doesn't work.
