When the home button on an iPhone breaks or isn't working properly, it can make using the iOS device incredibly inconvenient. Luckily, there are many ways to replace the functionality of the home button if repair is not an option.
iOS 7 has a built-in virtual home button that can be switched on under Settings.
Navigate to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch.
Problem: You are restoring to an IPSW that is still signed by Apple (current firmware) and iTunes is delivering error 3194. To solve this issue follow these steps:
1. You have to edit the hosts file on your computer to use Apple's servers. To do this on Mac OS X click the Go -> Go to Folder menu in the Finder.
Go to the folder /etc and copy the file 'hosts' to your desktop.
Sometimes the Photo app will suddenly pop up an error message stating "There is not enough disk space to continue taking photos." This Cannot Take Photo message is letting you know that the iPhone storage space is full, which must be corrected before you can take more photos or videos.

The Twitter app is also available for free on the App Store, providing an easy way to access the service on the go. Lately some users of the app have experienced an issue where the Connect tab does not show @mentions.
Mashable explains that the mystery bug is affecting Android users, too. Although Twitter has not released a fix yet, there is a simple workaround that should solve the problem on your iPhone. Reinstalling the app or rebooting your iPhone is not necessary.

The Corona 5.0.1 Untether package has received another update, this time to correct an iBooks problem where images failed to display or displayed incorrectly after installation. Chronic Dev Team released Corona 5.0.1 Untether to free tethered jailbroken devices including the iPhone 4 from the need to reboot with a computer.
After installing early releases of both Corona and the redsn0w jailbreak for iPhone 4 and 3GS devices, some users had problems with iBooks including a Configuration Error dialog. The latest version of Corona (1.0-7) should fix both iBooks errors and can be installed directly from Cydia on a jailbroken device.
