3rd Gen iPod touch home button issue?

It's just you. I haven't noticed any issues.

 

Hmmmm. Now that you mention it, my 3rd gen touch would occasionary give me the music control popup when I thought i just pushed the home button once. I'd just assumed I was clumsy and pushed it twice instead of once. Doesn't happen enough to be overly annoying, though.

 

I've had my 3rd Gen 32GB with 3.1.2 on it since September and have not had this happen at all.

 

I have a third-gen Touch and have noticed this too! I can't seem to reproduce it reliably, but I know there's no way I've pushed the button twice most of the time. Sometimes it even thinks I triple-clicked and I get the accessibility controls! At first I thought might have something to do with jailbreaking, but I restored and it's still doing it every now and then. There was a period of a couple days when it happened almost every time I pushed the button. This never happened with my first-gen touch….

 

OMG! Me too!!!!

Me too

 

Me too. I've got a 3rd gen with the newest software, and have noticed it several times.

Not too big an issue, and I doubt I could reproduce the problem in front of someone who cares, so I guess I'll just live with it. But your definately not the only one.

 

Nope, it's just you. Check your home button settings.

 

I can't seem to find the "Randomly Open Music App on Single Press of Home Button" setting.

 

Same. I get this behavior pretty often if I exit Safari or Mail under certain conditions. Not a big deal though.

 

Has anyone with this issue taken their iPod to Apple yet? Mine seems to be getting worse every day, sometimes taking three or four tries before it correctly registers a single press, and other times not registering any press at all.

 

Took my Touch in to the Genius Bar today; the guy at the counter looked at it for a minute and gave me a new (well, refurbished) one. He didn't say anything about it being a known issue, but they're apparently at least willing to take it seriously.
