Hey, guys. New owner of the Z1C here, and I'm wondering about my power button. It's really not clicky at all, maybe just barely when I push it a bit harder, and it just seems like something's not right about it. So, is this the case with all Z1C's, or are your power buttons clicky?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, guys!
mine is not clicky, but also doesnt feel loose at all
i prefer not clicky type of buttons anyway so its good for me.
but yea it feels soft compared to volume buttons
Hmm. I guess I didn't get a defective device after all.
It's just that I was used to clicky feedback. I had a G2.
How much does it stick out of the outer ring (the one closer to the phone - that doesn't move)? Mine's a millimeter out, I'd say.
Thanks a lot for your answer!
Mine gives me a kind of clicky feedback if I push the power button. And it stands out about 0.7 millimeter.
Yes, mine too, but it's quite weak. Can you confirm this as well?
Thanks for your answer.
clicky, the same way as volume buttons
Hmm. Mine is less clicky than the volume buttons. Sometimes it's even hard to press.
I'm asking all of this to see if I should replace my device while it's still fresh.
Mine is clicky, but not audibly clicky.
That's ok, I didn't mean audibly either.
I just meant that you have a strong feedback that you pressed the button.
Thanks for all the answers so far, guys.
Mine is clicky aswell.
But it is also a bit loose. Its the only thing that bugs me about my Z1C

Yeah, I was in a bad mood because of it for a while.
I'd be happy if I knew that it will remain that way - that it wouldn't deteriorate in a matter of months. But I'm really not sure.

Mine is clicky. You can go to the place where you bought it to check out by yourslef.
If it's yours' problem, you can ask replace your phone with a new one perhaps.

Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. They ran out of these models in the store, so now they have to order them each time someone wants one. Therefore, I can't compare it. And no one else that I know has this phone.

There is a test video for you. Hope it will help you to compare.

Thank you so much! Mine is not half as clicky. I think a replacement is in order. I'll contact the sales person.
Thanks again!

After a year my Z1C has a very unresponsive power button. Not the smallest click, nor the smallest feedback.
I don't think it even moves at all. It still works, but in the majority of times you have to press it very hard to work.
This was a bit progressive. Another friend of mine has a Z1C for 3-4 months and upon playing a bit with it I would say that is on course of breaking as well...
Obviously it is hardware fault caused probably by weak materials...
It is in service (warranty) for 7 days now. When I'll have a response from the service I'll share it here.
my power button is still clicky after 18 months. my problem is the squeaky back cover.

The button after 2 weeks seems like it got hard to press like its Digg in anyone having this problem
I have had the phone for a while and I haven't had that issue .. you sure you haven't dropped it ? or something else that might have cause it to jammed ?
It works it just doesn't always click

Well here is a funny thing that happened to me I got case for it and then after a while I got the problem you had but it's an easy fix .. Take off the back cover get something like a pair of tweezers and grab the button pull it up click on it few times and voila FIXED.
I bought the gel type Verizon case with the phone so it's been in that since day 1 and I have such a problem with my power button I actually use a widget on my home screen so I don't have to push it to put the phone to sleep. I'm past my 14 days and I don't want a refurb, I think my phone has a problem but as long as it works, it works. so. I compared to my inc1 with the same gel type case and it's amazing how much harder the inc2 is. oh well love the phone.

that case has a technical bulletin out on it for the issues with the power button, bring it to your store asking for a refund/exchange.

I'm going to try and get a refund for that gel case... I just picked up a to part incipio case at the Verizon store and I love it!, I can actually use the power button again. Hopefully they refund that gel case without a reciept. That was the worst $20 I ever spent.

Will they my bottom volume button really acts up like if its out the tpu case itll act fine but with the case on I ress the bottom button and it will even turn the device up and sometimes it feels as if its not clicky as the top one so is it rail easy to take into a sprint store for a simple fix?

Are you sure it's not the case causing the problem? Kinda sounds like it from what I am reading but in any event if you have insurance and they cant fix it they will replace it for 100. If you do not have insurance they will replace it for 35 unless they think it is something you did to the phone like dropping it. That is why the insurance is so important because even if it is user error they will replace it. Like a cracked screen, water damage etc..
Well I have two different style TPU cases and the bottom volume button is just not as clicky and sometimes it feels like its stuck but if I take it.out the case its fine what gives?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
With the case on,,, it sometimes won't work. With the case off,, it works fine.
Should I repeat that? Case on, no workie. Case off, works fine.
I would say its the case. Case on, it won't work. Case off,, it works fine.
The only difference of when it works or not is if the case is on or not.
Yeah, my money would be on the case.
I have tried 3 different tpu case and have a trident aegis, the tridwnt is perfect for volume and the tpu cases all are difficult to change

I'm a Sprint tech: if you have insurance, there would be no fee to look at/repair the phone, nor would there be one to replace it. However, it would only be replaced if it were deemed to be an actual hardware issue; since you said it works fine without a case, I would have to presume the case is causing the majority of the issue. A nicer tech would likely put a different volume button or back housing on the phone to see if that helps but they would be under no obligation to do so.
Hope that helps... Might as well call your store, explain the issue and see what they can do!

Hey guys, so I bought the Otterbox commuter and I must say Im happy with it except for one thing, the buttons are hard to press on. Both the volume and power key. I wanted to know if there are any suggestions on how I can soften it up, so it would be easy to press one. I thought it might get easier as time will pass but its really really stiff and even if I will wait a few weeks, it won't be a huge difference.
If anyone knows some tricks, or can even give me an advice about this, that would be great. Thanks

it will soften up as time pass by, like a month or so. Sometimes, the way you put on the commuter makes the volume and power buttons not working/stiff. Lastly, you'll get used to it and you didn't even noticed that you had built muscles on your fingers.
okay thanks
Pull or push the soft rubber where it peeks out near the screen close to the buttons. The hard plastic is so tight it distorts the rubber and misaligns the buttons.

anyone using the spigen ultra- hybrid case? Spigen make good product and the case is good but i cant help but be irritated because of the volume going up or down when holding the device in landscape mode. Very little pressure from the thumb is enough to cause the volume keys to be touched and hence volume changes .Thinking about returning them now. anyone notice the same issue?

couldnt agree more ..seen how much they charge for the protectors?? may be good but certainly overpriced
Spigen's customer service is abysmal.
They didn't respond to my lost package claim. So I contacted Amazon this morning to have them contact Spigen on my behalf. Still haven't heard back. Just terrible.
I ordered on Oct 31 as soon as I placed my N5 order. I've had the N5 for a week now, and Spigen who claim to have shipped on Nov. 1, nothing
I've had the same issue from the UK! But I had to order on amazon from a company called 'keep in case'. Over a week since I ordered and still no sign of it. HATE using my phone without a case!

I'm not a big fan of this case either - buttons are terrible, and as you say the volume ones keep pressing with almost no pressure.
It also adds a lot of bulk especially to the width
I still however prefer having a case to not having one at all so will keep it on until the official case is released.
I just received my Ultra Hybrid case today and the power/volume buttons are way too sensitive. It just takes a light tap to activate them. I engaged my power button so many times just by holding the phone in my hand with the case on. I waited almost two weeks to receive it and what a disappointment this is. IO know the buttons will be pressed while the phone is in my pocket and it will probably be powered off more than once due to a long press of the power button.
I'm going to contact their customer service and see what happens. I ordered from Amazon.ca
I guess I was lucky with my hybrid case, I haven't had any issues with the buttons like you guys.

Too sensitive? Is it not the same sensitivity has hitting the button naked, since mechanically the case ONLY covers the button. I think what you guys are complaining about is that its easier to hit the button because the button area on the case is much bigger.
I see it as working as intended. If you have not noticed, the buttons are flush. Some people like flush buttons. Gives it a clean feel. However, usually that makes the buttons, in their original shape, harder to press, thus the bigger area was created.

No, the button sensitivity is increased with the case on. Not just because it has a wider contact area. If you look inside the button area in the case you'll notice they are protruding inwards to reach the buttons. I believe the protrusion is too long and is the reason for the increased sensitivity.

It's easy to write off the experience of others when you get one of the few cases that work...
Couple questions. Can anyone move their home button at all vertically? Mine does slightly only on the left side. Also if I just barely push/click it on the very right corner of the button I can make it click without a response however if I push it with normal force on the right it responds like normal. I can't do this on the very left side/corner. That side is very sensitive and if I barely touch it it responds. The feel/sound is a little different when I push the right side too. It's definitely a tighter fit on that side.
I'm wondering if I should go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement because of this. My s6 had a bad wobbly loose home button and it was annoying. I ordered my phone through Verizon customer service through an upgrade. If I want them to send me a new one they have to charge me $200 again and then when I send one back I have to wait 10 days for a refund.. And the closest Verizon store is almost 2 hours away
I'm also hesitant to swap bcuz first charge on this one and I'm already getting over 6 hours on screen time and I haven't even disabled any bloatedware yet. It however does have the gap/light leak all around but apparently majority of them have that. Advice? What would you do in my position? Thanks guys... Wish I could just get a perfect device for once.
I have been reading your multiple threads about your issues, I think you are not comfortable with the device and would advise you the get an exchange without hesitation. In my experience, when I start finding multiple flaws on anything, that is just my subconcious telling me I am not comfortable. Go get it exchanged, you will be much happier.

I also noticed the OP complainings. This is the best advice he can get.
Honestly I think most home buttons are exactly the same. I just have ocd and I'm anal over stuff like this. I notice little things that most people don't. It's just impossible to get a perfect unit. Every single one will have something it seems. There's nothing really wrong with it. I have to purposely barely press it in one side for it not to register. I might go to Walmart and see if they will show me a few units just to see if I find any better but idk. Performance wise this one has been amazing and the battery is blowing me away.

Dude, let me stop you right there. The best cure for this, after your medicine, is the following logic:
The reason you are freaking out is the excitement of a new gadget and you want it to be perfect. But everything that exists is flawed and nothing lasts.
Think how your phone will be worthless in one year when they will release the new Model with 4k Display, 806 PPI with awesome VR experience.
You won't give a damn sht about the home button on the model you are holding right now. In 5 years your phone will be as worthless as garbage.
Just enjoy your phone try new apps, and don't think about issues before they even exists. If one day your phone's home button stops working, then you will think about it.
gl dude!
