    Gonna return iPad tomorrow cuz it's pretty much useless. Takes over two minutes to exit an application or even settings. It isn't locked up cuz app still works but if I press home button to escape usually the 80th or 90th time pressed it'll work. I thought this might be a software issue but now not so sure maybe just a hardware issue.

    I'll return it to apple store without telling them the reason and see if they can figure it out on their own why its a piece of trash. I can only reboot iPad so many times. I think twenty reboots a day is too much personally.

    The wifi problem is easily dealt with just have to turn off and on wifi and choose network each time waking it up from sleep but home button is beyond tolerable.

    Edit---- Ok might have fixed it. Pressed extremely hard almost to point of breaking a hole in iPad and now is responsive. So just press hard like you don't care if you void your warranty or not.

  4. Well I press with all my strength try to break home button. Long term this isn't going to work. I am gonna press it like 5,000 times and break it cuz this home button wasn't built to last evidently. $700 Imspent for what a broken home button I don't think so.

    Just be careful that you don't press so hard that it looks like it was abused. Apple might then say that it was fine until you broke it, rather than your way of looking at it.
