Tapping the dirt out seems to work for some

Totally worked for me. I kid you not.

 

Mine has always been dodgy.

I took off the back panel earlier just to see inside, and after putting it back on my button works fine

This tip definitely works. Thanks for saving me a trip to the Apple Store.

 

When I went to the Apple store they told me the entire front button and front glass would need to be replaced to fix this. My phone is out of warranty, so they would do me the favor of only charging $199 for a refurbished phone. Then I found this which totally fixed the issue with my button. What a joke!

 

my ipod touch 4's home button also isnt very responsive. i had to enable assitive touch in the accessibility options so i can use a virtual home button. rather then push the actual home button, you press one that appears on the itouch's screen. it gets the job done. makes my ipod useable at least.
