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.

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

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.

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.
Have you guys noticed your volume rockers and power key starting to sink? Because my buttons are almost evening out

Nope...
How hard do you press your buttons? LolLol

My power button just started feeling a bit spongy this week and it no longer has the defined click feeling like the volume rocker does

I don't have that clicky feeling like I did outside from the box
Sent from my SGH-T989
mine seems fine so far, this phone is fairly easy to take apart anyway..so fixing that will be easy for me
lol. only when i put it in the bath tub. I had to.
My power button seems to be back to normal today. I think something for lodged in it or something.

The volume rockers feel flimsy compared to the amaze but they are still functional so I can't complain

Just wanted to tell you guys that if your phone has a rattling sound anywhere (the volume rocker or the camera) just take it to a Verizon store and tell them that it rattles and they replace it...no questions asked (at least for me)
It was driving me crazy and now the new one doesn't so just want to let you guys know.
Its supposed to rattle, something in the camera that causes this.

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?

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?

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!
