How To Fix A Slow iPhone Home Button

I love my iPhone 4. It does what I need it to do and is rock solid in terms of reliability. Still, like all devices, sometimes things need to be fixed or adjusted. I've been dealing with a slow working Home button and thought that my phone's processor was slow (or RAM or whatever it uses, I don't know). After a Google search my first result took me here. The suggestion this helpful user gave solved my issue!

Here's what you need to do:

1. Open any application (I picked Mail)
2. Hold down the power button on top of your phone until the Power Off slider appears
3. Release the power button (don't hit the slider though)
4. Now lightly hold your home button until the icons view of your phone reappears (This may take a while, just keep holding the button lightly with constant pressure)
5. Once you are returned to your icons screen you're done

The blog post I linked to above explains that this is how the home button is re-calibrated. Through normal use the phone may get out of synch with what a normal press of the Home button should feel like. This should correct the problem for most of you.
