Loose volume rocker - can I return

I got my replacement Defy today and I've noticed the volume rocker seems looser than on my first device. It can be heard rattling when the phone is shook even just lightly and also when the phone vibrates and when I tap on the area of the screen closest to the rocker. The question is will Amazon.co.uk accept this as a valid reason for another replacement? I have to say they were a delight to return to originally however the original problem wasn't as trivial.
Thanks

I would return it if it were mine. The reasons is, I'd be concerned about whatever kind of a seal is supposed to be in the rocker to keep water out may not be tight or may be missing. Just my two cents.

Mine does the same noise, but until now no leaking problems. And I must say that on mine even the power button is a bit loosy.

Same here - loosy power button and volume rocker.

[Q] Volume button repair?

Hello everybody,
I have an HTC Desire that has a problem with the volume buttons. The buttons were working until I dropped it on the floor. The phone had a silicone case and screen protector so it seemed fine until I tried to adjust the volume but it wouldn't work both up and down. I verified the problem by trying to go into the bootloader using vol-down + power but it wouldn't work.
I noticed that before I dropped the phone the volume button was rather fidgety meaning that I could use my thumb to move the button sideways and make it pop out a little bit but despite all that the button worked and I was able to flash LeeDroid on it.
After I dropped it, the button seemed to stabilized. I could no longer pop it out or move it side to side it seemed like the button popped back in and was secure but the function didn't work. I can still hear the click but nothing happened.
So thinking that something was just loose, I decided to void my warranty (if I had one) and disassemble my Desire in order to fix it.
Once I got in I discovered that the volume button was not as simple as it seemed. It appears the "clicker" (the rubber circle piece that makes the click sound) and the actual circuit board that controls the volume is held together on a metal plate with black tape. This means the purple plastic piece has nothing to do with the functionality of the volume key it just pushes the clicker taped to the circuit board.
So I'm confused and stuck on how to fix this. I checked the black ribbon and it seemed to be fine, no tears or anything. I'm wondering how a drop could affect the volume button considering everything is held together with tape including the volume control circuit board and the ribbon that connects it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or anyone know what the volume circuit board looks like without the black tape? I'd like to fix the volume button so I can flash Gingerbread on it.

Volume rocker broken after disassembly

Ok guys, my volume rocker is not working. I replaced my power button because it had recesed too far to function anymore, and after i reassembled the phone, my volume rocker had stopped working. So, i disassembled the phone (have done so a few times now) and adjusted the rocker, but it seems the rocker connectors are not touching the motherboard contact points correctly. I can press it up and down but nothing happens. As you know, the rocker normally makes a "click" sound when you press it, but now there is no clcking sound. I'm hoping it's just a simple thing of matching the rocker points up with the motherboard and not some other more complicated issue that arose from me prying around inside the phone.
I've searched hi and low for a solution to this but have not found a specific answer. Just wondering if y'all had any ideas/experience with this. I'm thinking about taking some super-glue or melting a thin piece of plastic to the rocker in the hopes of making it contact correctly.. wanted to get some advice here before i go this route.
Frankly, I could get by without a volume rocker for a little while, though it is annoying, but I have an issue with needing to flash roms constantly...so...i'm sure you understand.

Hahahahhaaahhhaah. Lololol!!!!!! What a noob! Did you know in 9/10 instances a broken volume button means your a complete failure. It is also connected with a high percentage of impotence! That being said I hope things work out for you!
atljatl... The troll that failed

Well, my wife and children will testify to the fact that I'm not impotent. I'm in that 10% you spoke of. I don't ever fail, either... except at trolling. I admit that.

Phone restarts in pocket

Hi all
Because the One X is quite a tall phone and has the power button on the top, I have noticed that when you're sat down it's quite easy to accidentally hold the power button down for a few seconds and cause a reboot - presumably the power button is pressing against a belt or hip, for example.
My real question here - is there any way to alter the reflexes of pressing the power button down, or increase the time it takes to cause the reset?
Also - has anyone else had the same thing happen? I'm thinking maybe, for practical purposes, the power button is better situated on the side of the phone when the dimensions get to this size...

Yeah, this happens to me.

Having the exact same problem, but with a much cheaper phone - a Samsung Pocket. Complete misdesign IMO and you wonder if the phone was field tested at all when you see things like this getting through - if a hard reboot with a hardware key combination is implemented then several buttons should be required to be held for the reboot to trigger. I just can't carry it in any pocket, will reboot several times a day.
Just ebayed a silicone bumper, hoping that cutting a hole in it where the power button is will make it recessed and that this will solve the problem. Maybe something similar is applicable to this One X phone.

I have the same problem, really annoying
would be interested too if there is a solution for this "problem"

Thanks for the replies guys - I suppose it's some consolation that it's not just me!
I'll let you know if I ever discover a "fix".

+1 Same happens to be. Are we sure it's just holding down the power button for to long and not a software problem causing reboots?

I originally thought the same thing, but when the only correlation I found was how tight my trousers were that sort of gave it away

Power button and accidental reboots

there is a simple thing that people should realize. ..the position of the power button on the note 2 is awkward. .
.sometimes especially when you put the phone with the screen facing the thigh in the right side front pant pocket. .(especially my surgical scrubs)... the weight of the phone itself presses against the power button for few seconds and it reboots...
.I have noted this quite frequently and advice against putting the phone in the right side front pant pockets
Silly.... but true
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)

I've also noticed this and it is annoying. We just have to get used to this phenomenon.

I know what you mean about the scrubs. The phone use to do it with mine but since i got a hard case, doesn't happen anymore

Yup. Solved mine with casing.

Haven't realize this until now

It does seem like it's in kind of an odd spot. So far there have been a few times where I've went to hit the button, but reached to high up on the phone.
The button does end up right between my index and middle finger when I'm holding it with my left hang though, so maybe that's what they were going for with the design. So far, I have had no issues with it in my pocket though. I don't ever wear scrubs either though.

Sleep / Wake Power Button Too Easy to Press Accidentally
This might be my biggest complaint about the Note 2... I love the phone overall, but that power button is TOO easy to press!
I pull up a photo and want to hand the phone to someone to look at it on that big, pretty screen, and as soon as they take hold of the phone, the volume slider pops up and/or the phone is put to sleep!! Very annoying.
I've heard about a Volume Rocker app that gives a confirmation to prevent accidental volume changes, but what about the Power Button? I'd love it if there was a tweak that maybe used a double-click to activate sleep/wake from the power button. I'm guessing this would require some type of rooted custom ROM??

I agree with what you have found.
I have had my phone do the same thing on many occasions
