IOS 8 Home button bug

After upgrading to IOS 8 when I press the home button once to exit an app it is registered as a double click and brings me to the multitasking app switcher instead of the home screen. This didn't happen on IOS 7 - I've got an iPhone 5. Any ideas?

iPhone 5, iOS 8

Same problem Here.

I've asked for support in the costumer area of apple, they only advised me to restart the software by turning it off/on.

At first seemed to worked, but the problem persisted.

It is quite annoying because the home button is the heart of iphone, and I hate this bug that came with IOS 8.

I hope they solve the problem...

Here also same problem with Iphone 4S... still with 8.0.2.

The bad thing is that i cannot even downgrade to IOs7, Itunes does not recognize the iphone anymore.

The home button does work correctly on iOS7 but it's useless if i cannot connect the iPhone to Itunes.


I'am really DISAPPOINTED FROM APPLE!!!! THIS WAY THE IPHONE IS NEARLY USELESS!!WASTE OF TIME


(on iPad Air i don't have that problem.
