Sticky/Stuck Buttons - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

My volume up and down buttons feels as if there sticking because the feel isn't as tactile as the lock button and its hard to distinguish if I actually pressed the button or not, it doesn't feel so. If I continually click it, I start to feel some sort of tactile response but still minor, not like original. How can I fix this without taking entire phone apart?

Power Button not as firm as Volume Rocker?

My power button on my phone feels a bit loose. It doesn't feel as firm as the volume rocker, nor does it seem to stay in place when you put you finger on the button and try moving it gently. Is anyone else's phone like this?
Same things here. As long as it works I am not too worried about it tho
I don't feel any differences between those buttons. My power button feels nice and snug.

[Q] power button pressing

when you press the power button on your gnex, does it feel kind of soft?
Its hard to explain but i like the click feel when i press the volume buttons but when i press the power i dont get the click. i feel like i have to press just a little harder than using the volume.
I have never touched another gnex so i wanted to see if its normal or if my power button is giving already. thanks
My power button is slightly softer on tactile feedback but I don't put any more pressure on the power than the volume keys.
Mine is the same on both sides. Just to make sure I took off the TPU case since that covers the volume rocker but not power. They have the same level of feedback; not too clicky and not too mushy.
I do remember the first Galaxy S I had where the volume rocker was so loose it rattled like it was nobody's business. That phone was exchanged and the replacement was fine.
The power button has less force, but I actually like that better since I press it much more than the volume rocker buttons. I guess psychologically to me it feels like less wear and tear.
Ya am actually worried that over time the power button would level with the phone's body. I feel like it is sinking in lol...

buttons 'creaking'

does anyone else's buttons creak a little when being pressed? i have no trouble clicking the button itself, but when i run my finger over the power button and volume button, i can definitely feel and hear a slight creak which annoys me.. (home button is completely fine)
do you think it's worth an exchange?
I wouldn't necessarily say it would be worthy of an exchange, but that's my opinion. My buttons do not creak, but I do not remember if they ever did before either. Exchange it if you feel it'll bother you a lot, if not, the creak will eventually go away from wear.
Remember it is a Samsung not an HTC
I have the same problem. Volume buttons are a bit creaky.

The only button that's creaky on my unit is the home button. Nothing particularly annoying though. At first when I noticed it I thought the rest of the build would be shoddy, but it definitely isn't.

My home button creaks. It sounds like it is coming from the flimsy battery cover. With a tpu case it does not do it on mine.

Take it from car mechanic
there's nothing a little spray of WD40 cannot solve! :good:

Power Button Recessed

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

Question Pixel 6 pro - power button less "clicky" than the volume buttons?

Just got the 6 pro today..anyone notice their power button is a bit less clicky than the volume rockers?
And if you press the power button at the very edge, you get almost no audible click. Have to click it directly down at the middle.
The volume buttons you can click at the very edge and still get an audible click.
Shrugs, not a huge deal, especially with the current shortages, just wanted to see if it was just me who had it.
Yes, both my volume buttons are louder than my power button. Not an issue at all as all feel good.
yeah I gotta press harder on power then volume

Okay cool, yeah, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a defective device and I needed to RMA. WIth the current shortages..no clue how long a RMA would take tbh..
Old thread, but I bought two phones and both have identical power buttons; where the top and bottom edge of the buttons push in but do not engage/click the button.
Essentially you need to press directly in the middle of the button for it to engage.
I assume this is just how the button was designed. I highly doubt I got 2 phones with an issue. Also others seem to suggest this is how the button functions.
After trying Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down several times, they all feel exactly the same (clicky) to me. At least through my OtterBox Defender case.
All buttons should feel good with a wide sweet spot and uniform, positive action.
Poor design, poor quality and noticeable deviations are not what you pay the big bucks for in a flagship phone.
Yes, well... the Titanic was the flagship of the White Star Line.
