Several people have reported issues with a very slow home button response on iPhone 4.
Fix:
Turn off ‘Triple-click Home’ (this feature is off by default) > Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
If does not work
Reset your device by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

Thanks for the advice.
Could you explain what happens inside the iPod when you reset it the way you suggest (Home+Sleep buttons pressed & held simultaneously)??
What is the difference with pressing Sleep button only??
Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly first time. My issue was I had turned on the triple click home for inverted color switch – which I thought was cool. At first when I cut off triple click home it still did not function properly, after I did a reset it’s as good as new! Thanks again.

This is not about slow home button but i am very astonished that how can iphone 4s get such annoying problems like the home button is not working. The same problem is with me too in my 4s. How careless is the quality check with the iphone 4s makers. They don’t even check the home button before releasing it in the market.

It worked. I thought it was a hardware problem and was about to spend $100 on getting it fixed but I came across your site and tried the triple click fix and it worked thank you

Dudes its easy to see that we are talking about two different issues here. People that had the accessability option on and those who are experiencing a similar issue with that option off.My problem started after installing wallpaper camera app which messed up the (try to check if u installed anything recently). There s also the third possibility that the structure underneath the home button might be at fault and is in need of repair.
