Is your T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Home Button Raised or Recessed?

Recessed.

Same here, when sliding my finger left to right from the glass to the button, it almost feels like one piece. When you piece, obviously it feels like a separate piece, correct me if I'm wrong.

Very slightly recessed.
Very slightly raised. Almost undiscernable.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
It really is very nearly flush with the rest of the screen. I voted "raised" because mine isn't recessed, maybe there should've been a "flush with glass" option?
I agree; there should've been a flush with glass option; mine is slightly raised too; viewing from a 180 degree angle, lol.
Some have said flushed.
Do the buttons wear off after some time, as in give way?
Obviously, as you press the home button, it feels flush

The surrounding ring is raised but the actual button is recessed. One of the home button stickers should fix that.

Also, when you firmly press the button, you feel a bump on the center of the button; whereas the sides of the button are very recessed when pressed

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

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:

I tried to do this... one question... what kind of nails do you have?!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Lol short ones. Try using a credit card. You can't break it because its just rubber holding it in.

This should be covered under warranty, have you contacted the reseller.
No I haven't. What do you think ATT would do?

Hello all,
I have an issue with my commuter case for my s3. Whenever I try to press the volume up or down, the button seems to miss. If I press it straight in it won't change the volume, but if I push the rubber towards the front of the case a bit, it works fine. Does anyone have a solution to this?

is it in place correctly.. i heard u have to massage the rubber into place in order to have aligned correctly. maybe the silicone stretched and doesnt align like it should. common issue with otterbox cases
I am having that problem with my power button. On top of that, the button is now tearing off. Great case, but the silicone does not hold up as well as I thought it would. And I have only had the case less than 7 months. Bad part is I purchased it from a shop in CT about 2 and a half hours from me. My suggestion is to not take it off and on so much. Any way, good luck.

has honorable warranty with otterbox.. or so ive heard. i have one i want to get replaced aswell.
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.

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.

Hi guys,
I've had a Note 2 for a couple of weeks now and its a fantastic bit of kit, I have noticed that when the back cover in place the camera appears to be lower on the bottom right corner (more deeply recessed into the case back) and you can feel it too. However if you remove the battery cover the assembly seems to be pretty level. Just wondered if any one else had noticed this? Is this normal etc?
Cheers
Yes dats how it is...seems kinda tilted downwards

Anyone else notice a little lifting on the screen/bezel right around the charging port? Creaking when bezel is pressed? CONFIRMED.
Sorry to hear ,mine is pretty solid to me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I hear a little clicking sound when squeezing gentle on the bezel in that area, but the glass in that area looks flat and properly installed. I also noticed a very small sensor of some kind, centered in the bezel, just above the charging port. Probably just the hardware under there touching when it is squeezed. IMHO. Nothing that's making me unhappy!!

Yes, have heard of the LED Notification capability, but haven't been "notified" yet to see it in action!! lol.......thanks.
Oh no.. Not this again. Please guys, don't go squeezing it all over looking for a squeak.
If you can visibly see a lift than rma it. If you are squeezing it all over looking for a sqeak then you have way to much time on your hands..

Just saying, I would hope on the second time around ASUS would have figured this out. With my first gen N7 I had to take it apart and jam a qtip in it to help with the screen lift issue but this model doesn't look like it comes apart as easily. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or its going back. Never had any problems like this with any of my other tablets.

Mine is rock solid. No creaks at all.

Mine does. And my screen now seems a bit unresponsive. It won't respond to some of my touches often and I'd have to press hard. Not sure if its the screen protector I put on it (though it didn't have that problem before) or the screen lift.
Asus, you suck.
Mine used to be good, it now creaks very audibly when pressed on the top left area.
Maybe the glue dried out lol?
Sucks that I had this same issue on my 2012 nexus 7.
Asus....Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me...
