As the title states.......
volume rocker feels loose and rattles about when you shake the phone. Anyone else have this with their Galaxy Nexus?
a bit annoying when i don't have my case on
no mine does not rattle at all.

Mine's a little loose but it doesn't rattle. Have you had it in a tight case?

solid here.

Mine is solid as a rock. The gsm version has super solid volume rocker. But the lte version has slightly loose volume buttons due to the bigger casing.
My volume rocker was loose a first, not loose like moved around, just didn't take anything to push it. Now it is more solid.

I haven't had it in a tight case. It was only in a otterbox commuter which doesn't feel really tight. But its been loose like this since I took it out of the box. Should I go back to Verizon and request a new one?

Does anyone else's power button feel a little different than the volume rocker? It's perfectly responsive, but it feels a little less "clicky" than the volume rocker. It seems to be a little more recessed. It's not a problem, I'm just wondering if everyone else's feels this way.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah, mines the same way. That's probably how it was designed. The power button is most likely recessed to keep from waking the screen by accident - in pockets, ect.
Cool. Thanks a lot for the response. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have some type of latent defect that could cause problems down the road, especially with such an annoying warranty process.

Yes I feel the same too. Hope it last long though =\

Yeh, was wondering the same here. It works fine, just feels a little squishy and not as tactile as the volume rocker.
I just got my GNex today and i picked up the NGP case, bought it on amazon, got the fastest shipping available, hoping to get it by tuesday, pics coming soon =D

Only issue I have with this case is the power button is hard to press. I have tried to use the standard and extended battery and still have issues with it. The case itself is very rigid however making it a solid choice compared to the slightly looser feel of the Diztronic (Which I'm using right now). I would say if you can get past the power button, the case is a solid choice.

LTE here, That's good to hear though that it does loosen up over time. I just could not take the hassle of pressing the power button like that until it did though.
ahh well
I am thinking about getting this case.. but i am not sure how it fits the gsm version :/

This is the one problem I have with this case as well. The way I end up holding my hand to get good leverage to push the power button in causes me to often also hit the volume rocker with the other side of my hand. Other than that, great case.

Is your rocker volume kinda loose? Mine is, its like its not snugly fitted. Is this the same/normal for all galaxy note 2 phones?
My buttons are also a little lose. Seems to be normal.

Yes it is. As a matter of fact, I checked this on one of my friends' Note 1, and it's not that loose there.

Thanks for the reply guys. Maybe it is normal for note 2. I did had a note 1 before. The lock key and rocker volume were solidly built with the chasis of the phone. This will save time going to the store trying to replace the unit. Appreciate it!
Mine is loose too!
Thanks for making me notice it!

By the volume buttons the bezel creaks, and the power button is creaky and cheap.
It's driving me INSANE.
I don't even think I can get an exchange because I'm rooted and I have Jedi flashed...
Anyone else going crazy from these little issues, or found a fix?
OCD much?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yes, because now when I discovered the creaks, I keep checking to see if they went away...lol.
Same small problem here too. Just slap a case that covers the volume and power button. It helps with the creaks. Nothing is perfect. U might get one that buttons are fine but there will be something else that will get to u. If buttons work and are not about to fall off, enjoy the phone.

Eh, I'm a folio case user. I have yet to find a folio that covers them up. Any suggestions?
seidio active case. First case I got the silicone was a bit loose. But exchange case was perfect. It covers the volume and power button. Gives a nice click to it cause case is a bit raised. It it looks awesome too. Otterbox case also covers the buttons but its too thick.

How long have you had this creaking problem. I just got my note 2 2 days ago although I put a case on it while I was in the at&t store I have taken it off to check after reading this post

Eh I've had creaking since 2 days after buying it. It went straight in a case too.

I haven't noticed any creaking on my Note II since I've gotten it -- mind you it has only been a few days, but I've been using it a fair amount and I'm pretty good at noticing these things (curse you, OCD!)
Mine creaks too. Drives me nuts also! I shut it up temporarily by using a bit of scotch tape inside the panel but that quit working. The samsung flip case panel has eliminated the creaking fwiw but it would be nice to have the original flat panel shut up too.

I dont have a creak. But I have light leak coming from the left side of the home button. If it's not one thing it's another.

Oh, that would drive me nuts! little bit of creaking in the back cover but I have to mess with it to hear it so I am not going to complain too much :silly:
My power button is sometimes creaky. Sometimes it doesn't seem to click. Sometimes it seems to be stuck pressed in.
Changes every day.

Mine too. Get a urban armor case and you will not feel this sensation again.

I bought mine brand new (from Internet) and I always hate this phone because of the buttons. To have peace of mind, go in store and compare your phone with a new one.

Sigh... that's just the cheap build quality of the Galaxy S3. It's just a minor annoyance when I used my S3. I just got my S4 and let me tell you the buttons are much sturdier and better integrated. The back though, still feels rather cheap and flimsy. The S4 feels much, much, much lighter in the hand than the S3, like a feather.

The s4 is only 3 grams lighter, I honestly don't think it feels much, much, much lighter. Just saying. But yeah the buttons on the s4 are a bit better then the s3.
