Hi all I have found over the last few days that my settings for my home button have gotten all messed up. I got my home button said one click home to clicks app switcher three clicks voiceover is off. Now for some reason they are all messed up for the home button does not even react. Is anybody else finding this happening after the 7.1 update. I have gotten online to do some research and I guess this is intermittent behavior but I have not found the solution any help would be appreciated. Thank you John PS sorry to be lazy I'm using dictation so forgive the sentences and grammar :-)

Are you trying to adjust the home click speed if so go to settings general accessibility home click speed and then options are default slow and slowest.

If I am reading your post correctly, you are saying the home button is not working at all. Am I right? I haven't had that happen, except when the iOS device is locked up or stalled, in which case nothing works until it gets unstuck, or you force reboot it by holding down the home and power buttons for a few seconds. I had to do that a few times under iOS 7.0, but not yet under iOS 7.1.

Have you tried restarting your phone? Also, you might want to go in to settings, general, reset, and reset all setting.

Thank you all, I had to reset all of my settings for sone reason alot of them change, such as home click speed and notifications. I found this same issue start on my I pad air today too. I'm wondering if it had to do with a hard wire back up I did a few days ago. There was an update for I tunes and I did the backup a few hours later one device after another. I did the home button cleaning for good measure. All seems back to normal now. Thanks again John
