still the same as before as far as I'm aware. Will report back if I notice anything.
Lot of problems with the Home button.
today i had to click like 10-15 times to make the Home button work but then again after a while it was not working.
I had this problem before as well but since i have upgraded to iOS 5 seems like its more often.
But then i tried to call the apple care and now its working fine.
Don't know what todo ? Should i take it to Apple store or wait.
its frustrating cause without home button working iphone is just a cute toy.

From what I understand, if you're running iOS 5 and you take your phone in for repairs, they'll immediately say they can't help you because you're not running a fully baked OS. Not sure if it's true, that's just what I've heard.
In my case, I was having problems with the Home button since before installed iOS 5...I think it has to do with double-clicking it to use multitasking.
I think iOS has a memory clearing issue, which at some point begins to effect all aspects of the iPhone. I have an iPhone 4, 32gb running iOS 5 beta 2. At first, beta 2 was working great, but then it began to slow down and I started having issues with the iPhone's performance, including with the home button.
Fix? Go in a few times a day, and close out all your open programs in the multitasking bar. This seems to alleviate the slow downs, and bugs significantly. Hope this helps!

The only change, which I attribute to beta, is the rare time when pressing the home button doesn't do anything. In those couple of instances I have to use the sleep/wake button to get out of the current app. I think it's only happened about 5 times so far.
