IOS 8 Home button bug

Thanks, but doesn't work for me either. The problem is intermitant and quite random. The fix may help slightly, hard to tell. More often it registers the single press rather than the 'double click'. Why this bug existed in the beta version and final release shows IOS 8 must have been a 'rush-job'!

I'm also having this problem on an iPhone 5. It seems like it onot affects old hardware, which suggests to me that it's either a worn out home button or less capable phones that struggle. After a few presses the button seems to behave a little better for a while. Therefore in my case at least I suspect it may be a button hardware issue. im going to the Genius Bar for a battery swap next week, and will ask them if they can replace my button too. Will report back if it helps.

Sorry folks! I spoke too soon! The solution I pointed to above seemed to give me some relief from the problem, but it was temporary. This morning, my home button is still pretty wonky. This is definitely a software issue. I would imagine that the home button on an iPhone 6 is different than on previous models. The software that manages the input from the button may have some problems on earlier phones. Jus conjecture on my part. If so, the fix should be doable. Let's hope it's included in the first patch for ios 8!

The fix is obviously doable. If the iPhone is ok hardware-wise (which it is; I downgraded to iOS 7 and never stumbled on the issue again), of course there is something Apple can (has to) do in the iOS 8 code base to solve the problem.

I'm having this annoying bug on my iphone 4s too. please consider solving this problem in the next update.

thanks

same thing over here. iphone 5 ios 8.

never had this probrem berfore updating.

in my case it's very annoying because my sleep/wake button doesn't work and i am using assentive touch already, so when i press once the home button it response as two clicks. if i press twice it exits assentive touch, then i have to press the home button again 3 times to activate back assentive touch.

very annoying!!! hope there will an update soon to fix this cause its a software problem for sure.

Restarting or resetting your phone is not a solution to everything. When many are having the same problem restarting the phone is not going to solve software bugs. I myself am having the same issues that everyone stated above.

I tried ro re-calibrate the home button and it seems to work! Try it you too, check this link: http://ios8release.com/how-to-recalibrate-to-fix-home-button-problem/

Im having the same issue here with an iPhone 5.

It only haapens since i've upgrade to IOS 8.0

I have also this problem. I have tried to reset everything but nothing solves this problem. I don't have a broken button, everything worked fine in ios7

No improvement after a reset, a restore and "calibrating" the home button.
