about the power button - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

the power button on my phone seems very loose, i feel like it can fall off anytime it wants.
i have gone to the store and they exchange me a new one and it doesnt feel much better.
if i compare between the power button with the volume button, the volume button is very tight and secure.
am i the only one have that problem or it is normal that the power button is a lot loosely than volume button?
thank you for all the idea.

My power button seems fine, firm

squeaky power button?

Ive had my evo for a couple of weeks now and my power button tends to squeak when I press it. it usually only happens when I have it palmed in one hand and press it.
anyone else have this problem? or know how I can fix it?

It's due to the power button pressing on the plastic around it, from being used so much. I have the same issue with my Vol- button due to using it so much to flash in recovery.

[Q] Alternate Power Up Method?

My power button has been unresponsive more and more. This morning my battery fell out and the power button is not working yet again. I took it apart and the button seems to function properly but it is unresponsive for some reason. The phone works fine other than the power button issue. I'm wondering if there is a different way to power up my phone other than the power button.
Thanks
Some custom roms will power on the device when you plug in the charger. There's also roms that'll let you wake the screen with the volume buttons (may even be an app for that). Sorry I can't name specific roms...I just can't remember which ones do it.

If the power button isn't working properly, take it back in to Sprint. It's under warranty.

Pretty much how it is. The volume is a rocker switch so it has a little more give. The power switch is just a single switch. It'll probably loosen up a bit over time though.
Let's think this way -
Volumen button does nothing when the screen is off.
But power button is everything. If it's pressed accidently in your pocket or bag, you may find out your phone's battery is almost empty after a while when you pulled it out from you pocket.
So, I believe it's designed like that to prevent any unexpected action.

Wake with volume keys?

Anyway to get the phone to wake with these? So they can share the load so the power button doesn't get worn out.

Dhd power button was still fine after 18 months of use.
There are a lot more important things to worry about than this!

i would like the volume buttons to wake the phone because it feels more natural to me. hope something shows up
That would be really nice. Feels more natural and I wouldn't have to stretch my fingers.
great option would be to fiddle with volume rocker ...
i would love to keep volume rocker as it is but add an option to wake the screen up if pressed simultaneously. Let's wait for devs

power button feeling

Hey everyone
Anyone have the same as me?
The power button is a smooth click with no auditable click. But the volume buttons have more of a auditable click...
Anyone else like this? Power button no auditable click but volume has one?
It seems like this when you push it from the small angle, especially in ihe case. If you have one, take it off and try pushing power button perpendicularly to the housing, you will see that everything is ok.
I can hear a click if I put my ear to it lol
The power button does feel wrong compared to the volume buttons, there is not much feedback on push and there is pretty much no clicking sound.
Mine does the same. Not much feedback from the button. I wish it was clicky like the volume buttons.
