My volume rocker is a bit loose but is very tactile. My power button is tight and tactile too.
Only my power button interesting enough. My volume rocket doesn't wiggle at all.
Since everyone got different problems does this mean it's a faulty unit? Or it is by design?
Desptite the woobly, my buttons seems to work normally, just rattle when you moved it arround quick enough and I can hear the rattling sound even when the phone covered in a case.
My volume rocker is loose. Not as loose as it was on my m8. Kind of annoying but most likely common. Power button isn't loose at all.
Mine is loose too just like it was on the m8. No biggie; the screen polarization is what gets me...

Got my One X this morning, has anyone elses power button got kind of a spongy feel to it? There's no click when I depress it, so it's hard to know if it's pressed in enough :-\
I got a "click" sound on my powetbutton. But my volumerocker seems a bit loose. When i shake my phone I can hear my volumerocker ratteling if i listen closely. :-/

My volume rocker is loose too... is this with everyone the case?
Power button has a click, but I get the feeling not for long anymore...
Same with the the volumerocker clicking when I shake the phone, but I have to really hold it up to my ear to hear it.
No issues with the power button here.

For me, This is a HTC Trademark, the PowerButton has always been 'soft' and 'spongey' on every HTC device I've owned, never gave it a moment's thought though.

Often when i turn my screen off, if i have pressed it a little to hard, the lockscreen imediately appears again.
I have the rattle of the volumerocker and it's loose too.
No issue with the button power.
But, i have called the customer service of HTC friday and it says me the rattle of the volumerocker is a defect who needs repair or remplacement.
I go Tuesday to the store for exchange my one x .
Anyone else ?
I have the exact opposite.
volume rocker is fine but my power button feels slightly loose. Still get a nice click when I use it but does rattle when I shake it.
think it's worth exchanging?
Hi
I just received HOX white made in Taiwan. The power button looks O.K.
But I have problem with volume button. Button for lowering the volume is very sensitive. Gentle touch is enough to lower volume. There is no click or something like that.
Volume up button works perfect (you can hear click etc.) Is there someone with the same problem?
It is very hard to hold this phone in hand without touching the volume buttons.
I am wondering how common the loose/rattling volume rocker issue is. It wouldn't bother me except for when the phone vibrates the volume rocker makes a sharp rattling noise. I am still in the 30 day return period but I don't want to go that route if I am just going to get another phone with the same issue.
Any feedback is great, yes rattling rocker, no its perfect, any response helps.

I can wiggle it back and forth a bit. But not so much that it is affecting the phone vibration

^same with me. i can wiggle back and forth and get a slight 'sqeaking' noise, but no rattling.
Thanks for the responses guys. AT&T decided it was defective and the rattling noise is gone with the new phone. The button can wiggle but no sharp rattling noise so I am all set now.

I kept having volume keys fall off of my inspire 4g, and finally got sick of getting replacements so I moved on. On the next phone I got the $50 Otter box which does a lot to hold the keys in place. Since everyone is making these super lightweight phone (because apparently we're all too fat and lazy to lift more than 150grams) I would recommend case-ing up your keys.
Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if the power button on the left is the same height/resistant to your volume button.
I'm not sure if it is meant to be like this or a spring has slipped. But on my power button it seems to lye almost flat with the side of the device. It also jiggles up and down a bit like a seesaw when you run your finger over it.
Another way to describe it is if you run your finger over both sides so they feel the same height? As for me the volume button definitely feels further out/ strong/ less flimsy?
Thanks just for my piece of mind should others be like this!
Many thanks Jack,

If your power button doesn't come out of your find7, it's not normal, mine is out the same height as the volume one. And it isn't less strong than the volume button :/
But mine are a little bit lose to, they jiggle like you explained ! I think that's pretty normal
Hope for you that your find 7 is not broken !

Okay wow, that sucks, I guess I'm not going to return it just yet as I don't actually have a phone as I just sent my old one away , I'm also going to assume the turn around for this sort of thing would take for ever and then there is the reinstalling of apps and argh so much effort!
Hey everyone, I'm unfortunately outside my 14 day return/exchange window with best buy...But I've noticed that I can wiggle the volume rocker up and down just a little bit. I'm not as concerned with that as I am with the fact that if I hold the phone up to my ear and shake it back and forth a bit, I can hear the volume rocker shaking. Its barely audible, but its there. Sounds like plastic hitting plastic, just very faint. There's no usability issues, but I am worried that like in 6 months I won't be able to use the volume rocker because something internal broke off. My previous phone, S3, I could only use the volume down button. Volume up was non responsive and it was just a hassle.
Would something like this be covered under factory warranty? Should I be concerned and does anyone else have a small clicking noise when they shake their phone when its near your ear?
is it all carriers?

Mine is slightly loose too as you've described. My previous Galaxy Nexus also had this issue, but I took that phone in I was told by those at the Verizon store that this is common in most phones and showed me the same thing on the display phones in the store as well as a new phone recently taken out of the box. I'd say unless the actual function of the rocker is affected you'd have a hard time getting a replacement or fix, unfortunately. That was just my experience. Maybe you'd have better luck.

Mine is loose, if it ever causes functionality issues you can do a warranty exchange.
Mine is loose too. I'm not worried about it.

I noticed today when shaking the G4, it's making a sound like something is loose, does your G4 do the same thing?

No. Mine is firm as a mountain.
Yeah, I can hear the same thing when shaking my phone. The sound comes from somewhere in the upper part of the phone, maybe near the camera. Oh well, this is not a big deal but...A few stuck pixels, some black thingy under the glass that protects the screen, clicking sounds in recorded videos...What's next?

Clicking sounds in recorded videos is because of wifi/ bluetooth being turned ON while using camcorder.Turn OFF bluetooth/wifi and use camcorder and check , you wont find clicking sounds.
It's the volume buttons that make the sound. Nothing to worry about really. Try it. Wiggle the volume button a bit and you'll hear and see it.
In my case it's the power button. It's actually so flimsy that I'm concerned if it should be this way.
Yes, mine rattles near the ear piece. That being said, my in ear sound quantity recently degraded at volumes greater that half. This is my second g4 to have this issue. The audio sounds distorted... Like the speaker is loose?

It's not the volume/power buttons. It's the OIS.
All phones with OIS rattle when being shaked.
Solution: don't shake phone near ear.
Mine rattles slightly when side to side which is normal as the above poster explained with OIS camera phones.

Nice, actually someone posted already, it's the OIS system. I think this kind of thread is bought up in every OIS Camera phone thread

What do you mean it's not the buttons, I can achieve the same rattling by simply repeatedly sliding my finger sideways on the power button

Hold power button down firmly.
Hold volume buttons down firmly.
Put phone next to ear.
Shake like a madman.
Hear rattling.
Ergo: it's not the buttons. It's the parts that make up the OIS :good:
Ah, so the source of the rattling depends on the level of shakiness

Power button here is rock solid.
Exchange phone.
New one will still rattle though. Not the button, the OIS, like it's supposed to :good:

You mean no wiggle in the power/volume buttons at all? Gonna check some G4s at the shop tommorow.

Zero.
On mines, it's the volume buttons, not OIS or power button as if I place my finger on top of the volume buttons by just resting it on top without pressing down, the sound is gone when shaking.
