Home button of ipod touch 4g (32 gb) giving problem

accessibilityipod-touch

i have a ipod touch 4th generation 32gb which is around 1 year old. i dint drop it even once but still the home button is not working properly.
it doesnt respond even if i press it hard sometimes. i am using the assistive touch home button but it takes away some part of my screen and is troublesome at times..
can anyone please tell me what the problem is and how can i recitfy it.
i had jail broken the device once. now i have updated to version 6.1 from itunes and no jailbreak.
if i Recalibrate my device’s Home Button by following this method, the button respond better for just a little while

thank you.

This is a relative known problem with iPhone 4(s) and iPod Touches.

If it's still under warranty, take it back to the store and they should fixed it for you (or replace the device).
