Richard, are you still holding the power button in when you press the home button? It sounds like you are pressing the home button by itself and as you know, doing that for a few seconds brings up Siri. -- Raul A.

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
Yep, this works like a charm here on an IPhone 4. Was having an issue with moving to the app switcher, as pressing the home key would sometimes register only once, or 3 times.

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
Interesting. Sounds like an easier way to quit an app you know you want to quit without the task switcher, unless that won't force quit just anything. - Original Message - From: Eric SS sseri...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 7:44 AM Subject: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide by Roberto Garza Sometimes when you press the home button on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch there can be a delay or even take a couple of tries before it responds.

RE: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
Anna, Since you are very good at writing instructions, could you rewrite the instructions in your own words? I did what I thought were step-by-step exactly what was outlined but every time I end up with the Voice Control Prompt. I'm clearly not doing something in exactly the right order or timing or something.

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
I haven't tried it yet, but I think what may be a point of confusion possibly is do you release the power button after the message comes up before pressing and holding the home button or do you then hold them at the same time?

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide
Ok I just tried it. I released the power button after the turn off message and held the home button until being put back on the home screen. This was with calendar open as the stock app to perform the procedure on. It did not take calendar out of the app switcher, but that makes sense in one logical way. In theory it force quit it and left it in the app switchter because removing it from the app switcher directly may be the only way to get it out of the app switcher.
