Open a stock application like the Calendar, Weather, or Youtube

Step 2 of 4

With one of these apps opened, hold down the power button until the 'slide to power off' control appears.

As soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is forced quit to the home menu.

Omg thank you a hell lot!!

My Bui last week

Is it normal for the home button to go back to its original speed after a couple of hours? Do I have to constantly calibrate it or is there something wrong with my phone? But other than that, thank you for this!
