iPod touch Sensitive Home Button

theres no way it can become 'touch sensitive' like the devices screen but it may have been worn out from usage so even the simplest touch will cause the button to react.
i know the home button on ipods and iphones are all different when it comes to how it feels when you press it. (some you need to press firmly and some are more sensitive.)
if it wasnt this way before and you feel like it gets in the way of normal every day use, bring it to an apple store or wherever you got it.

It is not like the screen. But instead of clicking the home button, a gentle tap works. This is still OK. But when i actually click it, it brings me the music control as if i have clicked it twice.

Click to expand...

Im assuming you dropped it. I get what you're saying. If under warranty try seeing if they will change it. Possible the inside button spring came out loose and it's holding the button way higher than it should be. Unfortunaltely I do not know of any solution to this - and don't bother opeining this up... you wont be able to close.
