iPad 3 and iOS 6 - Home button not working

Since updating to iOS 6, the iPad 3's home button has been acting quite flaky. It often stops responding all together, forcing me to use gestures to quit apps or to access the multitasking panel. I've tried rebooting the device and re-calibrating the home button but the improvements are short-lived.


Has anyone else experienced this problem?



Thanks,

Kenroy

Today July 13, upgraded to iOs 6.1.3 on my Ipad 2.


Home button totally not useable. ➖


Tried suggestions listed here. Reset, hold and turn, and nothing solved the problem. ⚠


Work arounds, they work. Five fingers to the center, goes home. Retard button works also. ➕


But, guys we are talking APPLE not windows 95 here. It is a problem, fix it Tim. 😮


(Turn off Siri, how on an Ipad 2?) Make version 5 iOs available as a downgrade? 😐


Wake up Apple and smell the unhappy customers. ➖
