Lately, i find iPad home button not sensitive and does not respond well when press it.

Tapping home button twice does not show up the background apps. It's intermittent, do you have similar problem or how to fix it?

Still under warranty.

All my apps are grouped into customized folder (such as entertainment, news, games, etc. ) not sure if the slow response are due to software or hardware?

It's not a serious problem, will bring to Apple Store one day before the warranty period over.

do you always press the button very hard and also press at the side?

if yes, your home button spoiled due to stress.

We should press softly and press in the middle.

I think you can lodge report with Apple.

No, I didn't press hard on home button, most likely is hardware problem.

Nope, you have to do some tweaks in order to have multi gesture enable starting from iOS 4.3 and multi gesture can be enable without Jailbreaking your iPad.

Yes, as for TS, enabling multi gesture doesn't really solve your problem and what happen if it's getting worst when your warranty expired? If your warranty still applies, better send your iPad to the service centre to get it repaired and then you can enable the multi gesture to lesser the home button usage.

Noted, as i stated earlier, it's not a serious problem, will use home button as long as it's still working ... definitely will send for repair when the D-days is approaching.

Do you think they will exchange one-to-one if home button is malfunction?
