I try to add tips and tricks I find useful to this site since sometimes its hard to find these things online. SO, for google I add the following lines.

Does you home button on your iphone take too long to go? When you pust the home button noting happens for a second? My home button is slow to activate. How can I fix my iphone home button?  My iphone4 home button is really slow. My home button takes forever to activate app.

WELL, here is how you fix it.

Step 1: Navigate to, and launch one of the stock applications on your iPhone. If you don’t already know, the stock apps are things like weather, YouTube, stocks, settings etc (any that come as part of iOS).

Step 2: When the app is launched, press and hold the Power button located at the top of the device until the ‘Slide to power off’ appears.

Step 3: Press and hold the iPhone home button. Keep the button depressed until the Slide to power off slider disappears and the application quits back to Springboard.

Step 4: Your home button is now re-calibrated and should be more responsive for you.
