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!

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.

haven't had it with this phone. as for my nexus s. it was bad.
Mine's a little loose but it doesn't rattle. Have you had it in a tight case?

solid here.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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?

Hey guys so I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but my volume buttons are a bit loose and they rattle if I shake the phone. I tried tightening the screws on the back but it didn't do much. Is there any trick to make then fit better or just stop raddling?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Stop thinking about them is the best option. Unless they fall off or get compacted I wouldn't worry about them.

yea... tightening the screws on the back of the phone would probably do little more than run the risk of stripping the threads or something. Generally, there isn't anything holding these types of buttons in place aside from the overall design of the phone being done to have them nicely seated in place. Chances of anything happening just because of wiggling buttons are slim, IMHO.
Buy an iPhone.
Haha sorry I had too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I had the same problem, you can actually pop out the volume button pretty easily by using your nail and pulling. All that's holding it in is a rubber piece under the volume button. Once I had it out I tried to realign the rubber piece on the volume rocker and popped it back into the phone. Now it no longer rattles. :laugh:

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

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.

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.

Nope firmly in place better go in and exchange it.

Mine is like that, I was thinking of going to exchange it but then I checked my brother's s3 and it was the same.. Only the power button is like that for me though.. It also makes a creaking noise at times when I press it, which is a little annoying

Yeah just notice the power button moves a little I guess they just have it. But my volume buttons are firms.

Thanks and maybe it's built like it. I'm thinking if taking it to make them tighter. So you have a case on it?

Yeah I have a TPU case on it. I think it came like this from day one

It did? Because I was thinking that the case did it. Are you worried it might fall off too?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
No I'm not listen don't worry so much I doubt a case is going to cause that. Doubt is going to fall off if that was the case it's a major flaw by Samsung which I doubt they did. Then again I have a year warranty so I'm not worried about it. You have warranty on it right?

I did further research and people are reporting on the Verizon forums that is pretty common multiple people confirming that power is loose. Again just Samsung being pretty cheap building their phones with everything plastic, just a poor build. Even brand new coming like that, also sprint s3 same thing.

i just got mine on april 3 2014. tmobile. both power and volume rocker are loose. I accidentally press the volume rocker and can hear the phone beep after i put it in a thick leather horizontal case. I'll have a black s-line TPU case soon. Never noticed before, never paid attention in stores. Now i want to return it because of this. Don't want to play around with buttons. I had LG and tab 3 8.0 that have stiff buttons and rockers. WTF is wrong with this company???!!! They always fk something up in an otherwise very good device.
You are still within the buyers remorse period. (I think that's what it's called).
Never had any issue with mine. Take it back to a store and ask to compare to another, then exchange for another s3 or different device altogether.

a thick case with vol rocker cutout fixes it so i'm not too upset. expected things to be perfect for this expensive flagship phone. ordered another phone but not because of the loose buttons, different provider under tmobile, so i'll compare but its going to be the same white tmobile sgh-t999l.
Is this normal? I just picked up a white Note 2 on AT&T the other day and noticed the volume rocker is loose and rattles a little bit if the phone is shaken. Is this normal? Apparently others have noticed this too, but not enough for me to pass it off as normal? If your volume rocker is loose, does it slightly rattle? I think I am just being way too OCD haha.
As far as I know yes.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Mine doesn't but I probably sat on the phone or something so I fixed it
If it did though, unless I felt it was going to fall out it was so loose, I wouldn't worry about it
