Hi Andrew, When I had my iPhone 4 the Home Button worked very poorly and sporatically. This didn't happen right away, it was after about 8 months or so. I literally could not get anything done with it at times and eventually just took the phone to an Apple Store. Of course when I tried to demonstrate it it worked fine, but they took my word for it and gave me a new phone.
There is a fairly simple procedure which is supposed to fix the Home Key in some cases, but I can't remember the steps and don't have time to look it up right now. You can google "Fixing Home Button on iPhone" or something like that and I know it's been discussed on here maybe a year or so ago, so the archives might produce something.

Similarly, I can't seem to be able at times to call up app switcher by pressing the home button twice quickly. I am talking here about the iPad 2. The trouble is that this behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the home button works immediately, other times I have to press it several times. Sometimes I can't quit an application and I can only do so by performing the five finger pinch that takes me to the screens with my applications listed. Has anyone else had this experience?
