Power Button not as firm as Volume Rocker? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

My power button on my phone feels a bit loose. It doesn't feel as firm as the volume rocker, nor does it seem to stay in place when you put you finger on the button and try moving it gently. Is anyone else's phone like this?

Same things here. As long as it works I am not too worried about it tho

I don't feel any differences between those buttons. My power button feels nice and snug.

[Q] power button pressing

when you press the power button on your gnex, does it feel kind of soft?
Its hard to explain but i like the click feel when i press the volume buttons but when i press the power i dont get the click. i feel like i have to press just a little harder than using the volume.
I have never touched another gnex so i wanted to see if its normal or if my power button is giving already. thanks
My power button is slightly softer on tactile feedback but I don't put any more pressure on the power than the volume keys.
Mine is the same on both sides. Just to make sure I took off the TPU case since that covers the volume rocker but not power. They have the same level of feedback; not too clicky and not too mushy.
I do remember the first Galaxy S I had where the volume rocker was so loose it rattled like it was nobody's business. That phone was exchanged and the replacement was fine.
The power button has less force, but I actually like that better since I press it much more than the volume rocker buttons. I guess psychologically to me it feels like less wear and tear.
Ya am actually worried that over time the power button would level with the phone's body. I feel like it is sinking in lol...

Power button

Is the power button supposed to be more recessed and looser compared to the volume rocker? I noticed that my volume rocker protrudes a bit more than the power button.

Just use your phone and stop worrying about these small things. If you're concerned about damaging or wearing out the power button, use your center button to wake your device. And press the power button gently when you need it.
Wrap it in a case, and free up your time to do something more productive in your life.

Power button issue

Phone feels great, but i recently noticed that the power button is not as tactile and raised as the volume rocker. I need to press it on the middle to work or else the edge kind of flattens out with the phone. Does anyone else have this problem?
Power button on HTC 10 not as tactile as volume rockers
The same exact thing is happening on my HTC 10. Whenever I click the power button. I do not hear a click but the phone reacts. I too have noticed that it is not as tactile as the volume rockers. I hope this is not a common fault in the manufacturing since I have only had the phone for one week.
It's normal, my power button is really clicky but still a little less so than the volume buttons. It does rock slightly as the actual button is in the middle whereas the volume buttons are perfectly stable. Mine is level with the volume buttons however.
I had to replace my HTC 10 due to the fact carphone warehouse gave me the wrong one originally for my click and collect order so my SIM card wouldn't work.
The first had a clicky power button that was easy to press and solid. The second one is spongy and harder to press while in a case but is very solid.
Both are acceptable for me at least.
I just accepted it because it isn't such a big "flaw", atleast it works

Sticky/Stuck Buttons

My volume up and down buttons feels as if there sticking because the feel isn't as tactile as the lock button and its hard to distinguish if I actually pressed the button or not, it doesn't feel so. If I continually click it, I start to feel some sort of tactile response but still minor, not like original. How can I fix this without taking entire phone apart?

Question Pixel 6 pro - power button less "clicky" than the volume buttons?

Just got the 6 pro today..anyone notice their power button is a bit less clicky than the volume rockers?
And if you press the power button at the very edge, you get almost no audible click. Have to click it directly down at the middle.
The volume buttons you can click at the very edge and still get an audible click.
Shrugs, not a huge deal, especially with the current shortages, just wanted to see if it was just me who had it.
Yes, both my volume buttons are louder than my power button. Not an issue at all as all feel good.
yeah I gotta press harder on power then volume

Okay cool, yeah, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a defective device and I needed to RMA. WIth the current shortages..no clue how long a RMA would take tbh..
Old thread, but I bought two phones and both have identical power buttons; where the top and bottom edge of the buttons push in but do not engage/click the button.
Essentially you need to press directly in the middle of the button for it to engage.
I assume this is just how the button was designed. I highly doubt I got 2 phones with an issue. Also others seem to suggest this is how the button functions.
After trying Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down several times, they all feel exactly the same (clicky) to me. At least through my OtterBox Defender case.
All buttons should feel good with a wide sweet spot and uniform, positive action.
Poor design, poor quality and noticeable deviations are not what you pay the big bucks for in a flagship phone.
Yes, well... the Titanic was the flagship of the White Star Line.
