Double Click the Home Button Crap

iPhone4 w latest iOS:


Double clicking the button on the bottom of the iPhone gets me ANY of three different screens:


Active Apps

Keyboard

Home


It's driving me kookoo. Is there a way to do a click and get running apps bar ONLY?

Or is there some other way to set up the Running apps bar alone in one maneuver?

iPhone 4, iOS 6, 14 gig capacity

You might want to read the manual; it can be very enlightening.


Press once: If it isn't on page 1 of the home screen it will go to the home screen. If it is already on page 1 of the home screen it will go to the Search screen (that's the one with the keyboard). If it's on the Search screen it will go to the Home screen.


Press twice quickly: It will always open the Quick Launch ribbon (those aren't running apps, they are apps that you have used recently).


That's the only things that happen. Pressing twice slowly while on the Home screen will go to the Search screen, then back to the Home screen. It's really just a combination of Press once, but repeated. Likewise, pressing twice slowly while not on Page 1 of the Home screen will go first to the Home screen, then to the Search screen.

I said if I click twice I get either of three screens:


Home

Active Apps

Keyboard


Any of these three show, in any order, at any time.

That is driving me kookoo.


I only want Active Apps to show up.

Why is that an impossible manuever?????

You aren't clicking fast enough. If you click fast enough you will get the Quick Launch bar. There is no such thing as Active Apps.
