What is the proper use of the lock button to achieve resetting if not five
times. I think you can also hold down the button for similar results?
Is that true?

Thanks for the warning, dAvid. I shan't use it again.

Pressing the lock button five times quickly is a bug that crashes the
springboard. Apple does not recommend this method for resetting iOS or VO.
In fact, it is the only method which ever corrupted data on my iOS device.
Use at your own risk.

Katey,
THe home button ineffectiveness I have noticed more since upgrading to
i.os. I'm glad I'm not the only one since I was beginning to worry that I
had a faulty iPad 2 and would have to take it for repairs which is
usually costly. Have you by any chance reported it to Apple?
Also, do you know that you can reset Voiceover by pressing the lock
button 5 times quickly? That might save you going into settings.
The 5 finger pinch has to be enabled in settings/accessibility/voiceover.
There is also a 4 finger swipe there which you may find useful on the
iPad.
Best wishes
Andrew

Andrew,
I've noticed this on my iPad 3Gen since upgrading to iOS 6. I was
thinking it was a problem with my home button! But maybe it's a VO
bug. I usually go to settings and turn off & back on VO (I have some
usable vision). I was also thinking it may be a comflict of
something, as since iOS 6 came out I have VO on and Zoom on as well.
Prior to iOS 6 we couldn't do that. I don't have Zoom on my iPhone as
the level of magnification I need is too big to be effective on the
smaller screen, in fact I consider myself a VO user as my primary
choice of using either of my iDevices.
So, I'd be interested to see if anyone else has experienced this.
Also, I'll have to check out the five finger pinch out I don't use
any of the iPad custom gestures as of yet.
Thanks,
Katey

Dear Listers,
I seem to have a problem trying to quit certain applications by
pressing the
home button. 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?
Andrew
