I'm a week into my HTC One ownership and notice the home button only works intermittently. Anyone else had the same problem?
Any opinions of whether its hardware or software related?

I think it maybe the whole multitasking deal. Touch once for home and 2x for multitasking. I think it may not be a flaw but they designed it that way to give you time to hit it a 2nd time if what your trying to do is get into the multitasking menu. I dunno, makes sense in my head lol..

I have experienced this but I think it is just a case of where you touch it rather than it being a fault. The button is only touch sensitive right where the home symbol is. Because there is no actual physical mechanical button there you expect the whole strip to respond to touch but it doesn't, more of a design compromise than a design fault I'd say, the price you pay for having sleek touch sensitive buttons with no discernable edges.
This isn't htc's first capacitive home button so the button size shouldn't be an issue, especially when you've only got 2 buttons the entire width of the phone

The fact that there are only two buttons across the entire width of the phone is exactly the problem because the buttons themselves do not cover the whole space, therefore there are places where they respond to touch and places that they don't, with no distinction between the two. If they were physical butons rather than capacitive then you could see/feel where they were but you can't. For me, the capacitive buttons work and they suit the aesthetic of the phone, I just have to be more acurate when I stab it with my big sausage fingers.
Exactly. Only the stenciled part -- the actual button, if you will -- is what's used.
My phone is still acting up ,the home button wasn't working sometimes
So I brought it in and got a brand new replavemt phone
