Hello,
I've this phone and the device is incredible. The only esthetic defect I found is related with the capacitive button not being perfectly aligned. Indeed it's crooked. My HTC golden has this defect and also the black edition that Android Central reviewed if you carefully look at some pictures they published.
Is your home button crooked or misaligned like mine? Please take a look at the button itself and to the borders or frames. Other than that the home button and fingerprint scanner work okay.

Its apparently somewhat common. Worried me initially but I don't even notice it anymore. Have had it for around two months. Scanner still works fine.

Hi,
Thank you to take the time to reply me. Indeed it's an esthetic and minor defect. The phone is incredible and I prefer this issue than the home button peeling of the S7.

Mine is too never noticed till now
Mine doesn't look crooked but I can often feel it move and makes a clicking sound. This usually occurs after tapping the lower part of the screen just above the button.

Didn't know the S7 has that! I love the capacitive home button though. I don't think I can ever go back to a home button that clicks. This is so much more comfortable. Enjoy your phone!

Does anyone else have any issue with the back button flaking? The arrow isn't as Sharp anymore it's more like a like with a splodge for and arrow.
Can show a picture if you want to see what I mean

Mine is very similar. It isn't flaking, but the silver paint is almost completely rubbed away. The rest of the buttons are completely fine.
It's only a small problem, but I love this phone too much to replace it
Happening the exact same thing with my donnow why or what I can do to prevent it from flaking even more! this sucks cause I didnät even know that the buttons had some sort of cheap coating on them
are yours ingraved or just painted on? Mines are ingraved and with alot of use it doesn't seem to be rubbing off..

Yep, exactly this. Bought late March and the first wear was this by early August. The whole end of the top arrow pointer has flaked off on the back button and I've never used nails for pressing it for such to exacerbate the wear nor let the phone get wet or leave exposed to above typical heat (etc).

All other buttons are fine. Top part of the arrow head is getting bigger and bigger.

My back button is fine, but the home button started to peel a bit
Maybe some batches of buttons are different ? Mine don't have this issue, but are starting to be unresponsive if I don't push quite hard on them.
Can confirm that button finishes do vary between Desires. I held my phone side by side with one in a Carphone Warehouse yesterday and noticed that the CW model had darker, shinier gunmetal buttons (like the black Desires?) whereas mine has the more matte, light grey buttons which have texture. I haven't had any issues with mine peeling thus far.
Hi all.
I returned my black HOX last week because of the screen ripple thing (when you run your finger down the sides of the screen) also the screen seemed to be a tad loose just like so many people have reported on here. So phones4U sent me a white one, I have received it and its worse than the black one now I don't even have to apply any pressure to get the screen ripple. What should I do? should I just put up with the fault or should I change to another phone s3 etc.
Cheers eze

Return it and tell them its a known issue (they should know)
ask for a tested device or enforce a newer batch
SH248 on awards are good
latest SH25 and HT25 seems good
loose screen is a known defect, slight screen ripple on outer edges pressure is normal unless its acting badly

This one is serial SH24, I have literally just had the screen flicker now to, so this phones is defo a faulty one. So the slight screen ripple is normal, I would say my old black one was normal because you had to apply a bit of pressure for the ripple to appear but this white one aint normal. Anyway I have just got of the phone with phones4u and I have managed to arrange to do an exchange in store.

SH23SW, no ripple.
normal is under bit if pressure
I've had two SH25's.
First one had no screen ripple at all but the screen was loose in left bottom corner. I could feel it moving, clicking etc. The backlight was also bleeding from that corner. I returned it and the second one has screen ripple everywhere with light pressure, has a dead pixel and the screen is loose on both sides.
I'm waiting for this one to be replaced. Beginning to wish I wasn't so fussy with the 1st one.
Every HOX will do it under pressure but it shouldn't do it if pressed lightly mines does it but I don't really care as I ain't going to rub sides with a dark screen??

you second hox was defected due to the extra ripple and the first hox was defected due to screen loose
you should expect a defectless hox where the screen is rock rigid and fit on all sides and only slight ripple under pressure to the outside edges
I know, going to hold out for a perfect one now.
On this one you can see a small red light in the top left behind the screen when you are on a call, is this normal? I didn't notice it on the last one.

I dont think he means that, I had that on my original one its the notification led bleeding through the side of the screen and the case, caused by the screen not being glued correctly.
HT25 here and ripples do occur in the middle of the screen with very light pressure. when i press "send" button on SMS app i get a ripple in the middle of the screen. WTF????
I am rooted at this point and not sure if I should screw around with it. What do you guys think?

@Op, there are many threads about screen issues already.
Why you don't take a little time to search instead of opening a new thread.

Has anyone else noticed that the power button on the Galaxy Note 2 is a little squishy? Mine will press in at the top and the bottom of the button before the button actually clicks. It is almost as if the actual "button" is in the center of the power button. So if you press the power from the top most part or bottom most part it presses in a little further before it clicks.
Thankfully it functions just fine.

I am thinking that, it presses in fine but if I rub my finger along the chrome edge I can feel the button rock up and down near each end. I an not nearly as OCD as some on this forum but I am just leery about issues down the road since this is the power button.
Does anyone else have the same "issue" that I do?
Yup, I have the same issue exactly as you are describing. Kind of seesaws in the middle.
Ok then ill just chalk it up as "acceptable" and get some insurance on it.
Thanks chunology and draconas for the reply

I noticed the same thing yesterday. Funyy how I read this post. I just hope the button doesn't fall out like the volume rocker on my old HTC Sensation.
Shoul I change mine Note 2 because of this?
Does anyone here change his note 2 because of this? Mine feels really bad, it works, but it's starting to get harder. I want to know if I need to ask to my carrier for a change.
Mine works fine. Feels solid and doesn't rock...weird

It has been a month using my Lenovo P2 and from the first day itself the power button on my device is wobbly. It feels firm when pressing the power button but feels loose while swiping finger over it. Also the sound 'tick' when pressing the button is a bit louder than any ordinary power button.
Is it the same with your device??
Should i repair it with lenovo service centre??(heard people telling that they dont handle phone properly and a new problem arises)
I wanted to know,is this a problem of each unit or only my unit has this defect.
Yes same with mine. It's kinda strange the power/volume buttons are loose when the rest of the build quality is superb. And the loud button press sound is a bit annoying, but I got used to it I guess.
Mines fine
I sometimes feels that lenovo itself loosens the button by fitting such a tight case out of the box.
i returned my p2 because of an screen issue, however i also had a somewhat wobbly home button. from the very first use 4/5 times it felt like a little loose or worn... so it's either very subjective feeling or their home button / quality control is ****.

P2's build quality is not up to the mark,along with the loose buttons the screen is also stretched at the edges and it nowhere looks like 2.5D curve glass

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the power button on their 2XL?
I have the Black & White version and the orange power button seems to be protruding less and less from the main frame, making it difficult to press.
It's still quite "clicky" but in comparison to the volume rocker it's much more be recessed.

I've noticed that. It seems to fit a little more flush with the frame. not a deal breaker for me. I've got a decent screen... Can't risk a replacement lol
Mine still seems fine, been kept in a Ringke case since new so possibly doesn't get pushed in as far as a naked button.
I've had it in the Google fabric case since I got it which also covers the buttons. I think it also may have something to do with that...the fabric case button is much bigger and pops out more...and now that I've taken the case off, the actual power button feels less prominent.
I rarely use the button.
So, I activate the phone using finger print and turn the screen off using "screen off" app

Ah good shout. I've just activated a similar feature in Nova Launcher. Thanks for the tip.
Yes, same here. Orange button seems slightly recessed.
My dad just got his Pixel, and I have had mine for over 2 months. Both power buttons are identical. Protruding slightly less than the volume rocker. It's definitely not getting worse over time.
I've thought the same thing on the ones i've had but this was the 3rd one i've had and all have been the same spot. Has never failed me yet though had it since launch
