This just started happening a day or so ago but it's bothering me big time. I don't even have to press the button all the way down. Just put some minor pressure on it and it makes this clicking or crackling sound. It's not 100% of the time but it's doing it a good bit. Wondering if anyone has experienced this yet with their note 4.
Anyway, I was thinking of bringing it into best buy to exchange for another one. Is that possible? I don't have insurance or anything but being that it's only a couple weeks old, and obviously still covered by warranty, they should be able to exchange. My concern is they will probably look at me like I'm crazy. But when I spend a lot of money on a device, and it's only a couple weeks old and making this noise already, it's quite annoying. My gf has a note 4 too and her button isn't anything like this so it concerns me.
nope. mines incredibly solid.

Same. I mean I know if I go into best buy asking to exchange, they're gonna look at me like I'm crazy for complaining about it. The other problem is it doesn't help all the time. Sometimes I press it and it's fine, other times it does make that noise. So it's hard to reproduce the noise due to it being at random.
My home button has a solid clicking sound, like the rest of the buttons. If yours doesn't sound like the rest of the buttons when they are pressed, you should consider exchanging.

Yeah I think I'm going to go in to best buy tomorrow. Do you need to be able to reproduce the issue for them to exchange? It is definitely still doing it, but not 100% of the time.

Not yet. I had an S4 and Note 3 that did, though. It was quite annoying, and I don't miss it. My N4 is really solid aside from the acceptable volume rocker play.

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

congrats on getting a replacement. unfortunately, im outside my 14- and 30-day period so i suppose im stuck with this issue

Factory Reset was a no fix.
This started happen to me too, my home button gets "stuck" when i press the power it would take a screen shot. I hope its not a hardware issue, i really baby my phone. I am calk rom 2.0. Also i belive samsungs warrenty should cover it for free.

If it doesn't really require lots of hassle, i would ask for a swap.
If I bought it at a store, I would return it.
It will definitely go back first thing in the morning as I just found that the theft side of the screen is waaaay to unresponsive to the spen.
Thank you guys.

Holy crapola that sucks! I was gonna say (before I read all the way down) that I'm so anal with my stuff that I'd return it in a heartbeat. Now that I see the sensitivity issue I'd obviously return it like you did. Hopefully that doesn't ruin your opinion of the Note 2 though, because it's a truly awesome phone! I've had mine for a few weeks now and I don't know what I'd do without it anymore!

Well, I'm a huge fan of the note concept & I know that Samsung's quality control is very very good but sometimes you get a lemon & you have to deal with it.
I guess I'm just fortunate I never have these issues....how did you purchase in store. ...yet its later outside the store you notice something you SHOULD have noticed at time of purchase.............doesn't everyone inspect their device prior to paying and leaving. As far as the s-pen issues people should adjust their settings mines works just fine you have to tweak the sensitivity to your own UNIQUE handwriting style

bipoler: Sometimes new gadget owners fall victim to the so-called Gollum syndrome: their eyes enlarge, their skintone dulls and greys out, and their cognitive functions are diminished. It can last from a few minutes to a few days, and only the worse failures can stop the symptoms quickly, more subtle defects take longer.

Well I got my unit online from timo's website. Once I got the device 18 hours later it was on its way back. The spen issue is not just a less sensitive area... its a deadzone which the device just does not register anything.

Has any one else have this problem..
My volume down button gets stuck into the frame, (must press the button down then up forward into the screen) its really not that big a deal ,Though am just curious of your opinion.
Tomorrow thinking of exchange since am in the 14-day return period.
This might proceed to get worse or what do you think?
I understand dirt can build up and this may cause an issue.
well.. thanks. anyone else with this similar experience?
Hey guys quick question. I bought my HTC One from a "premium retailer" at BJS was wandering if anyone knows if i call verizon customer support if they would send me a new one? Currently its too late to call them,
aswell.. an official verizon store said (when i went earlier) they cannot exchange for it is a different retailer.
experiences?

as long as you pay for the insurance/ warranty package it won't matter.
I have the warranty 'will give them a call early this morning.
Thank you
So i called verizon this morning amd they weren't' able to send me a replacement, I ended up going to the store and they replaced it with no pleasure at all saying nothing was wrong with it
Anyways i got my new set and before i set it up i checked it carefully and what i saw was uptop there was a much longer gap which ive seen on these fourms and thats pretty normal, was more concerned on the volume button.
Anyhow since i got the replacement it seems more slow and jittery (owell) and now ive noticed .. if you would check the pic.. anyone else have this? its hidden light bleed can only see on a deep slant
doubt my last device had this issue but curious how common this hidden error is.
EDIT:: feel like i got the prototype
this screen issue was bothering me and now they are sending me another

I work at a premium and if you have an issue with your phone we swap it out and we get our money back from where we get our phones. we get our phones from hundreds of different online retailers including Verizon direct. the faster we get rid of our phones the better and there is a period where we can return it and get a refund. depending on the vendor there is different time periods we even mark them from the date we get them and that's what we sell first. This phone has not been out that long and that retailer blows for giving you an issue 4g would never do that. Returning is all together is another issue restocking fees apply even at Verizon direct.

why you gettin at me? im very happy with electronics and this device im on specifically. if the new one turns out to be less attractive im sending it back and will live with what i got. no problem here...

exactly. Imagine if people could swap out their cars for any perceived flaws. These things are made in a factory run through an assembly line. Some variance is considered normal. There is no such thing as a perfect electronic device.
See the usb off centered thread...
first phone volume rocker wasn't working which is an understandble replacement..
and you bashing my thread , well you have your opinion and i type agree to an extent but for people thinking of buying the phone (in any scenario) would know what to expect.
this is what forums are about, complete knowledge and growing, its good to know the known flaws

well ive received the replacement and although everything seems fine like there is no bleed anywhere, but has more gap upto'
seems in good condition, only complain would be that the power button set
is actually flush with the board
pros on replacement : louder/fuller sound -no Ii ght bleed, scrren seems more vivid/pronounced.
cons on replacement - power button and its refurbished phone
pros on original device, reliable
cons on original device, light bleed, alliuminum on left side isnt sunck in

How is everyone else dealing with this? or are there really only a few devices with this issue and i'm just unlucky??

If something is loose in the phone then it would rattle just from shaking it. Maybe try to find someone else that has a one and listen to how theirs sounds when the vibrate goes off. My suggestion would to be just turn it off but if you're rooted and s off then a custom kernel can be used to turn the vibrate strength down and maybe lessen this "noise".

My screen does not record every press. Never misses a beat typing but selecting a thread from a list or a tweet from twitter feed or almost any random thing the first click may not record. I have to do it again. I wish I could increase sensitivity.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I should have mentioned I had the VZW rep put on a Zagg but it had bubbles and was peeling so I took it off. Problem did not improve. The odd thing is it doesn't affect typing at all. I type fast and no lags nor unrecorded presses. It does happen randomly in any app or screen though. Never when clicking to open an app but clicking on a phone number in missed calls, clicking a link in the browser, clicking to open a tweet or tapatalk thread or basically anything anywhere on the screen. Not a dead spot. The second click always works. It's incredibly annoying when you kind of look for it to happen again and of course it does
MODERATOR - Would this be a legit topic for main thread or strictly a Q AND A thing? It would get more looks in a main Note 7 thread. Thanks

Some claim an update will fix it but I called VZW and Samsung tech support and both said they never heard of any problems at all with Note 7. How can I hope for a fix if they don't know there is a problem?
