How to avoid having to use the Home button on the iPad 2

This may be old stuff now, but a while back, lots of folks were having problems with the Home button sticking with the iPad 2. But if some of you are having this problem, yoy can create a "Gesture" in Settingd/General/Accessibility//Assistive Touch, and press the white screen, and record, creating a flat round button-like image. Save it, and give it a name, such as, Home.

Correction to last message: I did not check my spelling. Go to:

Settings/General/Accessibility/Assistive Touch (Turn On)/Create a new Gesture.


This little button also contains: sound volume adjustments, screen rotation, lock screen (sleep mode), etc. It's a nice feature to have, even if you aren't having any problems with your physical Home button.
