Weak power button - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a i9505, am I the only one noticing the power button is harder to push and feels weak and deeper inside than the volume buttons?
Also, my +volume is easier to press than my -volume, is that normal?

And you are talking about a phone in a case, maybe its just the case not setting well mate try removing it and inserting the phone again sometimes the edges miss the button area a little and it starts giving hard life.

Sadly without a case, I find it hard to press the power button. The volume buttons are fine, just the difference between them was a little irritating. I guess I should take it back...

My power button make some noise (sometime), like if there is something stuck behind (dirt). I also have this with my home button and it irritates me like ****. I didn't had this with my S3 wich i used for over a year!

this has been reported a lot of times
the button does feel weak but it is fine

Faulty volume button.

Has anybody have the same problem I have with the DHD volume button? My device has the bottom part of the button jutting out a little bit, and I am worried it might fall off. I have only had this phone for 2 and a half weeks, so before considering an exchange, has anybody had the problem and fixed it? I would hate to take the button off and not be able to put it back on properly.
Can you take pic and upload it?

I had the same problem. I sent mine back to Phones4u after about a week.
Whether it would have fallen off or not, I don't know - but as mine was like that after a week or so I didn't want to take any chances.

Here are the pictures, hope they're good enough quality.
Mine's the same, it's going back when vodafone get more stock.
I also noticed the top of the screen clicks and creaks as if its loose.
Mine is the openmarket version and vodafone only have the branded handsets in stock anyone know the difference?
Just return it.
Hi all,
I've my phone about a month now and I have almost the same problem with the volume button.
Actually it isnt that bad as the pictures above but you can definetally feel that the vol-down button sticks a litle bit out while the vol-up is very hard to press.
(The powerbutton is also hard to press but that seems to be with everyones phone)
It seems HTC is very bad in making hardware buttons, I had also button problems with my Touch HD and my HD2!
What do you recommend me? Should I return it or not?
Ps for htc maybe:
The main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.
I have a solution, make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.
I think that should solve a lot of problems
The bottom bit of the volume button comes out a bit too on mine but not that far!

From the pictures, i had the exact same problem. On day one, i was so happy to have the phone i looked passed it ( it was the very slightest bit sticking out ), then eventually a week later it really started coming loose, when you press volume up for example the bottom of the button would literally pop out and dangle.
In the end i arranged for a replacement the next day as i was illegible as i only had, had the phone for a week. What struck me is the elastics holding the volume rocker in place? thats the last thing i'd expect something made out of "metal" to be locking it in place.
Hi all,
i have the same problem. the volume rocker is not sticking to much out but you can definitely feel the difference between the upper and the lower side of the button. the upper side is like pushed in and kind of hard to press and you don't fell the "click" when you push the vol up. the lower side i slightly sticking out but you can fell the "click" when you push the vol down.
how do yours fell when pushing vol up?
i don't know if i should replace the device or not???
here are some pics of my problem
thanks

I returned mine and I think you should too.
Works perfectly now, but not sure if it can last 20 months as my old one broke so early. Taking the greatest of care whilst touching the volume rocker now. Kinda sad that a device so expensive has quite a few cosmetic flaws.
Exact same issue with mine i dabbed some super glue ont he plastic and the metal. Its alot better now. Seen new buttons on ebay, has anyone tried these yet? How do you install them?

In the picture you attached, the volume key lok in the correct place. However, the Aluminum or battery cover is not in the correct shape. I can see some distortion.

is the power button supposed to be kinda squishy

hi guys,
i find the power button on my s4 to be a little squishy. the volume button and home button both have a much better feel. the click when pressed.
The power button on the other hand doesnt stick out as much. it has a tectile feel but just a bit squishy. lol

Nope there should be a definite click to the power button. Mine is also squishy, I had 5 S4 previously and they were all fine.
I decided to keep the one with a dodgy power button as the screen is ok and its PVS binning 5.
But no, it's not normal, it's defective. If it really bothers you then send it back
Yeah mine is acting wierd aswell, but you get used to it after a few weeks!
i dont like te power button on S4 it's pushed in heaps unlike the S2.
Prefer the S2 power button

Power/Volume Buttons

How are your power and volume buttons in regards to them being loose or not? Mine are just a little loose. Nothing too major but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me just s little.

My power button is fine, the volume was very loose and rattly. This along with the non-flush panel on the back and some cosmetic damage on the frame led me to exchange it. Just waiting for my replacement now.
My power button is fine. The volume button is loose on mine though.
Bothers me too, but the rest of the phone is fine so I'm not going to RMA unless I find something really wrong about it.
Mine do not rattle, but the power button requires little force to be depressed. I have accidentally turned off the screen multiple times. My volume buttons are fine though.
The power button on my 6P is very smooth. No "click" when pressing, just..smooth if you will. The volume rocker makes a distinct click pressing either up or down & takes slightly more pressure to click. And I mean slightly!
No complaints here. That's the way it's supposed to be!
Volume button are fine. Power button..eh... smooth? They seem mushy to me. All buttons should have at least SOME feedback. I'm not even sure I hit it most of the time.

Power Button Click

Hey everyone. I have noticed that sometimes when pressing the power button, it makes a click noise and it takes a bit more pressure to press down, almost like it is caught on something. This usually happens if I push at the topmost part of the button, and then push the bottom part of the button. Has anyone had any issues like this?

Why does my S7 Edge power & volume button have a different click feel? is it normal?

Why does my S7 Edge power & volume button have a different click feel? is it normal?
I've got my s7 edge from just a month and i feel like the power button has a slightly different "click" compared to the volume buttons!! is this normal? Should the power button have a click feeling like the volume buttons or should it feel slightly different as i described? i dropped my phone like two days ago and before i dropped it i didn't really care about the clickiness of those buttons, but since then it really bothers me a lot :crying:
All my buttons have the same clicky-noise and feel, so I'm not sure what's going on with yours. Can you describe how it feels a little better? Is it a softer feel?
the power button is not softer or mushier than the volume buttons when pressed, but it has a much louder click noise compared to the volume buttons. The volume buttons don't have as much "click" as the power button. it's hard to hear when you're not in a quite place, but when you are in a quite room you can clearly hear the different clickiness between that buttons. it's really hard to describe it actually :silly:

Well, what can I say It's either caused by that fall you had, or it's a production thing. I have no idea. But if you're not bothered by it, then keep using it. If you're bothered by it (which I think you are, since you made a thread about it), then get a new one if that's an option.
Why do my farts sound different? Is this normal??
