I've had the noise a few times, it went away after blowing hard in the gap between the button. Guess it was a bit of dirt or something. I find my back button a little bit looser than the others, guess it's because it's the button I use the most?

No strange sounds, but my menu button is seriously soft now. Probably through over use.
The buttons on my x10 went the same, but never got any worse.

My home button is looser than the other two, you can shoogle it a bit.
But it works ok and sounds fine.

Do home buttons where out?

I think my power button might be where ing out. It was smooth and silent and was easy to click when I bought it. Now it is some what hard to click ( it needs more force ), and it makes a clicking sound that does not sound natural. Have you experienced this with the dinc 2 or with any phone you have used. Does the home button just get harder to use after a few months?
If you think there is something wrong with my phone, should send back to HTC for fixing (after I unroot it)?

send it to mobiletechvideos.com - they will fix it.
Or flash SearchAsPowerButton MOD along with Volume wake ROM - my ROM ICS supports it.
Wondering if anybody knows any places in Canada (GTA) where they might replace these? Sending it in to the states is a little expensive when considering shipping. =(
Yeah I have some issues with mine. It'll sometimes not lock the phone and it'll register as being held down instead. It's not too serious for me, though.

Just open up your phone and clean the dip switch with some rubbing alcohol, not to much but do it a couple of times. Make sure to let it dry before you turn it back on.
This fixed mine.

That worked for me as well. When I bought my phone, the power button was so sensitive that even the slightest amount of pressure on it would cause it to boot or turn the screen off. I was going to return the phone, but a few minutes work with alcohol and a Q-tip saved me the hassle.
Cleaning my button worked for me, but that was 3 months ago and now its back to not working. Worst part is that my volume buttons arent feeling to healthy either! Hopefully it holds on until upgrade time .
Don't be a p**** take your phone apart dab your button with some electronics cleaner and press the button a few hundred times and repeat and then put it back together.

If you guys are going to be opening the phone again at some point, it would be a great idea to take a couple of picture.
I think that my cappy is about to have the same issue (sometimes it doesn't recognize the power button) and it would be nice to have some king of guide to do the cleaning.
Try to clean around and inside or open it up and clean the power button, if that doesn't work you should just get a new phone. The captivate is already really old
do u think it can be solved by an upgrade

Yes, if you upgrade the phone, the new one comes with a new power button - problem solved!
Just use the rom that have option to wake the phone up by the volume rocker buttons. Also make sure to get screen off app to lock the phone up.
I opened my cappy and cleaned the button with contact cleaner, and now it works like new.

Hey now, some of us still like to keep our phones maintained until we do get a new phone
Or.... can't afford a new phone every 2 years... 199.99 isn't cheap (or 700 for unlocked and off contract)
Just Send It To Me

Volume button.

How would I go about fixing it with some glue? Would a bit of glue in middle do the job?

Depends what exactly has happened to your volume button. If it's completely off, I don't think you can do much wrong anymore
Well when I got my flex cable fixed, my volume button was also fixed. I noticed when it started to come off, there was a sticky substance in the middle. So I guess why not?

Broken volume button

My volume down button isn't working. I got my phone very slightly wet yesterday and also pressed the volume button with a slightly we're hand, which I think is the culprit. Anything I can try to fix this? Should/Could I open up my nexus and fix it? Thankfully on android you can grab the volume when you change it

Do you have enough knowledge to fix it? http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/1
This might help you, so you can see the internals.
Since it is water damage, have you tried the rice trick?
I haven't tried the rice thing partly because I don't have rice. With the disassembly, I think I can handle it. I've done stuff like that before so I may try it later tonight.
My button works when I press a bit hard also so it may just be out of place.
Thanks.

How to fix clicky home button?? SOS

I have a clicky home button. It kinda is like a two stage button. Its very clicky and not soft and smooth like the power button and volume buttons. If I were to describe the sound it almost sounds like there is a little piece of sand stuck under the button and every time you press it, the button hits it. How would I go about fixing this? I bought the phone off craigslist so could I just go into the T-Mobile store and get a replacement? Or is there a way to fix it? Any help would be AWESOME

That's the noise the button makes.
Seriously?

No it is not smart ass. I've had other Samsung devices with the same button. It is not how its supposed to sound. And it does not happen every time I press it. Usually on the left or right side it does

Mine makes a clicky sound. Everyone I know with a S4 had the same click sound.

In my opinion the build quality is inconsistent. I've bought 3 of them and one had a defective power button (i.e., recessed slightly and difficult to press). If you think something is wrong with your home key go to the store and compare to their demo phones. If there is a real problem with your phone they will tell you your options for getting warranty service.

I just checked 3 different m919s, they all make a click sound on the home key. the power button is mushy and quiet on all 3, and the volume buttons are just in between if you can hear beyond the beeping.
if you're sure something has creeped in there, have you tried taking some dust off to your phone?

How can it be the same button on a DIFFERENT Samsung device?
SOS!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend S4 has the same problem but my S4 is fine. I guess there's no fix.
I've got a little home button sticker on mine that came with my Spigen case. Doesn't really make much of a click.
Had this on my 2nd one. Its like the button kinda gets stuck a bit then it clicks. It just started doing it. My 3rd replacement is fine. Hopefully it stays that way.
