How to go to home screen with broken iPod Touch home button

Android Vs. Apple - No killers but a lot of competitors: http://bit.ly/aWIoJu

I looked around but couldn't find a fix to my problem. Don't know how it happened, either I was pushing it too hard or my baby stuck the iPod in his mouth.

Anyway, it was broken and I could not get back to the home screen to select different apps. The solution I found was to hold the power button down to reboot the device. It takes a little while but it works.

Yes, pretty obvious now...

Man you ally dont have to turn it off completely! All that you need to do is hit the standby button twice, and then just slide unlock!!!!

@Bigsawx that doesn't work because it brings you back to the screen you were on. It doesn't take you back the home screen to change apps

I Deleted my cydia and my Ipod is still firmwired and has to be rebooted everytime so i cant turn it off and HELP SOMEONE!

First jailbreak it, install Cydia or Icy, then, install SBSettings, then install the "Close Button" add on, and thats it... Just slide your thumb across the upper part of the touch screen.
