iPhone 5 home button issue iOS 8

And if you are apple you should know that you have to answer here for help and fix this fcking bug

I don't say this without sensitivity to your situation but when are you folks going to learn restraint and patience?

STOP upgrading to the latest/greatest soooo quickly. Wait! WAIT until the next significant release before updating an iOS that already works well (re: 7.1.2).

Hopefully, you have all learned from this experience.

I learned my lesson back at v6.0.0. 🙂 Patience is truly a virture.

you mean iOS 8 is no significant upgrade then ... seriously ... ok, don't get fooled by the absence of significant changes in the UI design, iOS8 is a major upgrade, the amount of new features and their potential speak for themselves, read the release notes.

totally agree, but doesn't it feel good somehow to hear that such an awful bug, present for two weeks and not addressed yet, might be resolved, one day? 🙂 ... so I'm sorry, but if someone pops in and tells that a beta version has fixed it, I'm glad to hear it. That bug is extremely upsetting, so as far as I'm concerned,any relevant good news is welcome.

Amazing! So far turning off passcode, doing a hard reset and the turning passcode back on has fixed the issue for me. Have to see if it stays fixed for the long haul.

Wow, so far this seems to have fixed it for me (black iPhone 5, 64 GB). Forcing a new passcode must re-write something that has an effect on this bug. I was getting "Home button bounce" very often, but I've opened/closed dozens of apps without a single problem since doing this. Crossing fingers ...

OK i deactivated the passcode and it seems that its also ok now... Tried it several times and no multitasking. hlw about the others here? Can you try it?

Just deactivating the passcode didn't quite do the trick for me, so I did a hard reset as well and after a few minutes of going in and out of lots of different apps it seems much much better at least. It's happened a few times still, but feels like much much less. Progress?

Personally, I don't see a problem with talking about the beta here. The information is very relevant and it's not like they've giving away trade secrets or bits of code. The developers forum is for official discussion, but someone sharing how it seems fixed in 8.1 beta, I don't see a problem with that.

No joy. I don't use password locking. I turned it on and played with it, then turned it off and performed a hard reset. Still no success.

Clearly you do not have any idea of what this forum is about or what the rules are. Maybe you should take some time to read the TOU....

I am a user just like you. All of us are users on this forum with the occasional exception of Apple employees that respond to posts that have gone unanswered for several days. So, there's that.

Secondly, the developers sign an NDA which requires them to refrain from discussing beta software on the public forums. They have their very own special forum for doing so. So, discussing the next iOS release here is not only a violation of the NDA that the developer signed, it is pointless, since you have no legal way of obtaining that release.

So, whatever your issue is, you should be aware that nobody who volunteers their time here to help people like you have anything to do with Apple. We are all users of Apple devices and computers, we all have other jobs (or are retired, or are in college), we all do other things. Your attitude is obnoxious and unnecessary. Your response is pointless. Your language is abusive.

Maybe you want to get a little more familiar with the community and the members before striking out at people.

Well, that someone is violating the NDA that they signed with Apple when they became a developer. It's as simple as that.

I understand that you may be frustrated, but that does not excuse RoHHSz - a Non-Disclosure Agreement is not just for fun....

Sorry,

Alex - if you spent any time on these threads you would know that Community members regularly remind developers when they have posted information on the public forum that violates the NDA. So, thanks for your input, but I have every right to remind a developer that they should limit their beta testing information to the Developer Forum.

same for me. Restored iPhone (backup of may), after that restored back to my latest backup, did not set a passcode and tested about 30 times, no more multitasking bug (for now?)

Same issue, started with IOS 8, continued on IOS 8.0.2. Got an iPhone 5, model A1429.

Haven't found any pattern to it.

Where do you see the model? In about, mine says NE490LL/A. Looks like it's truncated.
