backside is xperia play
front style (phone) is xperia neo
BUT
buttons under the display is from HTC BRAND.

The whole thing is the xperia play... front, back, buttons, everything..

Ah, the function buttons are off screen, like the gamepad buttons are an extra layer. So it looks like it has capacitive buttons.

I think there's no case that is protecting physical buttons on Arc S but you can always try something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/N4U-Online-Su...ie=UTF8&qid=1357905199&sr=1-26&keywords=arc+s
At least buttons will be protected when your phone will be in your pocket

Check this out. I have never personally used it but is planning to.

Not exactly. Where did you get this?
I never had any protection on my old X10 Mini Pro, which is having the same buttons, and they never showed any fade signs in about year and half of usage.
I use navigation screen button with Ultimate Hd rom

+1 , had an x10 for 18 months and no problem at all with buttons,and i have an arc s since 7 months and it is still like new ,also my father have an x8 since 1 year and a half,and he dont take care of it,no housing or so,and he always put it in his pocket ,the only thing that faded is the xperia and the little pattern

Home button: should it stick above bezel?

On my Note the home button is slightly raised above the bezel - not more than 0.5mm - which causes accidental turning on of the device, when it's carried in pocket or bag.
I wonder if all N8 have similar construction, or is mine somehow special and should be replaced - could anyone confirm how it looks on yours?

Mine is that way too.
That's normal.
I would also prefer it to be ever so slightly recessed instead... or at least flush.
I also wish I could disable the capacitive buttons with a gesture or long press or something... i brush them by mistake too easily in landscape

It's disappointing and looks a bit like a design mistake - on Note I the home buttons is placed below frame, precisely to avoid accidental presses.
Still, it's a minor issue, besides that Note 8 is everything I ever needed, except for embedded espresso machine and foldable 50 inch display....

Xperia Z's Power button thoughts (harsh?)

I thought Power button design was a clever design by Sony when I saw it in pictures. When I got ZL I thought it was very nice but over time I started to feel it is getting harsh on fingertips. Now I am using upper middle area of thumb to press it as it hurts finger because of sharp edges and the 'clicky' sound it only getting louder. I recently got Xperia Tablet Z and I am now of the opinion that Sony overdid the design of power button.
I think it would have been better if it had spherical design instead of cylindrical so it's not harsh on finger. Also, it would have been better if it didn't pop up so much out. Now, the power button even makes a more 'click' sound than it did in the beginning which makes me feel it will get worse over time. I find the design of the power button on HTC is very nice and smooth except it feels little too small and not comfortable to reach on top.
I hope to see a nice rounded design with all buttons blended into the surface of the phone.
I like it as it is. Personal preferences vary.
Sendt fra min XPERIA ZL 6506
I think it's a poor design. Mine has actually popped off a few times. I also wear a horizontal belt case when at work and can't guess how many times I've turned the screen on accidentally. The placement is ok but I feel it should be flush with the surface.

I find it to be perfect for me, to each their own. I hated the flush button design on the HTC 8X/One. Also this power button has the perfect amount of force and feedback. You know you pressed it, which is important.
I have a few days with mi Xperia ZL, but so far I find the power button quite comfortable, and unlike my Samsung Galaxy S3, the XZL don't turn on the screen by accident as much as the SGS3 ... maybe time will change my mind, but right now i'm quite happy with my Xperia ZL

Now have lost the power button. Need a pin to turn on screen. Going back to Sony under warranty. Be careful with this marketing gimmick.

Wierd, my power button does not do any sounds. Also I dont find it harsh on fingers. Try power button on, like, HTC One, now that harsh and difficult to press due to being flush (you have to squeeze it in with edge of your finger every time).
I got Xperia to very big extent exactly because of power button, and I think its very clever design, its very comfortable for me. Buttons located on top or closer to top are very difficult to press with one hand, making you prone to drop the phone. Buttons located on very bottom edge of big screen phones (like S4) are no better.
Granted, I see how it will require special case/bumper design because of this, but I just carry it in my pocket so don't care about it really.
Edit: sorry, just found that power button does inteed make "click" sound, but its extremely quiet. Not sure if it was better or worse before, as I never noticed it.
It's completely normal that power buttons makes a quiet "click" sound ! We are talking about physical button I would really like to meet the person "who has pain" (harsh on fingertips) because of power button on ZL Unbelievable No offence!
I love the power button on the Z and the one on the SP is even better as it protrudes a bit more. I think it adds a touch of uniqueness to the range.
I like it, nice contrast to the body and other buttons. Yes, it sticks out, which will be an issue for anyone not using a case. It's very unobtrusive with a case .. at least with my Incipio Feather. Also, it's fun to watch people try and find the button the first time or ten
had to exchange mine for a new one because the power button was loose and did not register half of the clicks. the new one has worked fine so far (a month and a half)
I like the power button. It could sit a touch higher, but other than that it's great.

Sony responded by telling me the device has "physical damage". No warranty replacement. $600 for a phone I used three months. Miss my ZL but I have no choice but to defect. In my opinion, a totally unacceptable response from Sony. The phone is like new with no power button. Needless to say, I'm disappointed and surprised.

Personally I like the power button,it's easy to find without looking at the phone and the tactile feedback is great. It also looks quite nice. I'd rate this the same or slightly below the Nexus 4's power button.

HTC 10 Topaz Gold but home button is black

Hi all
I just bought a used HTC 10 gold but the home capacity button is black. Is it possible that it was replaced by another phone?
The black button is working perfectly btw
And one more thing, when press hard this 'button' moves a little. Is this normal?
Thanks for your time
Sounds like it have been replaced, the home button doesn't move at all, i Got a gold one and its front its all white.

I think the phone had the home button / fingerprint scanner replaced.
Does the fingerprint scanner work properly?
I too have a Gold HTC 10, and the front is all white.

It actually looks good haha. The button is not supposed to move though.
Yes its strange but it works
I've read posts about the button being a bit loose, and it pushing it on the left side, IIRC.
If I can find the thread I will edit this post.
It's hard to tell but it looks like the button is above, like a samsung button. (prob just the pic)
P.S. I like the black look.
Does the button have a silver trim? If so i would suggest it's a Samsung button. Looking at the picture it does seem to have a silver trim. Doe the finger print scanner work?

Two of them, bought the same day, hardware never messed with.
Something wrong with Tapatalk, I can't upload pics directly, so linls are in the post
I take it the trim is on the shell of the phone rather than the button itself
The button only move/loose when pressed hard. But normal use we dont press on it so its Ok.
The only thing is its color is different w the surface. And it bugs my eye LOL
As I remember only the black front don't have silver trim

Loose/Wobbly power button.

It has been a month using my Lenovo P2 and from the first day itself the power button on my device is wobbly. It feels firm when pressing the power button but feels loose while swiping finger over it. Also the sound 'tick' when pressing the button is a bit louder than any ordinary power button.
Is it the same with your device??
Should i repair it with lenovo service centre??(heard people telling that they dont handle phone properly and a new problem arises)
I wanted to know,is this a problem of each unit or only my unit has this defect.
Yes same with mine. It's kinda strange the power/volume buttons are loose when the rest of the build quality is superb. And the loud button press sound is a bit annoying, but I got used to it I guess.
Mines fine
I sometimes feels that lenovo itself loosens the button by fitting such a tight case out of the box.
i returned my p2 because of an screen issue, however i also had a somewhat wobbly home button. from the very first use 4/5 times it felt like a little loose or worn... so it's either very subjective feeling or their home button / quality control is ****.

P2's build quality is not up to the mark,along with the loose buttons the screen is also stretched at the edges and it nowhere looks like 2.5D curve glass
