iPhone Home Button Sticking Not Working Fix....

I have had a problem with my iPhone for months where  the home button intermittently doesn't work. 

It has been driving me crazy and then today I couldn't get it to work at all, I almost had a panic attack but I did manage to contain myself after all it is only a phone........ 

Yes, right, it keeps my whole life organised and in order!

Any how I thought I'd have a little look on Dr. Google as lets face it Google knows everything

And I came across this...

1. Open an official Apple App like the clock or compass

2. Hold the power button until u get the slide to turn off

3. Hold down the home button until the slide to turn off goes away.

and that's it, your phone will now work

I was a little (lot) skeptical but it only went and bloody worked!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

Problem fixed! 

It seems to be a software collaboration issue with the button - rather than mechanical and according to the forum I was on it works every time.
