Since upgrade to iOS7, Siri keeps turning itself on/if disabled Voice Control keeps turning itself on. Whilst keying in a text message it keeps defaulting back to home screen. The top button, rather then switching off takes a screen shot.
Soft rebooting doesn't cure.
Restoring to factory defaults doesn't cure.
Any ideas?

How long have you had the phone?
Since the factory reset hasn't helped, it may be a hardware issue - your home button may be faulty.
You should make an appointment at Apple to have the phone looked at - you can make an appointment here: http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

Which iPhone is it by the way? The iPhone 4 was well known for home button problems but they were improved from the 4S onwards.

There was an old myth going around about re calibrating it a while back - No idea if there is any truth in it or not tho.....?
1. Open an app that came with the iPhone, such as Calculator or Weather.
2. Hold down the power button on top of the iPhone until "slide to power off" appears.
3. Let go of the power button and press and hold the home button.
4. The power off message will disappear and the app will close.
5. Your iPhone home button is now re calibrated.
