I was wondering if anyone has this issue? The battery cover creaks a bit, esp. at the left lower side, as I noticed it can actually be depressed slightly. I don't mind if this is quite unique to this phone. The battery cover still fits nicely, and none of the hooks, or "teeth" that holds the cover to the frame of the phone is not out of shape and still provides a secure attachment to the bezel/frame of the phone.
Do you mean the right side if holding in portrait mode? If so yes mine creaks if pressed (the side with power & volume buttons)
Left side no
OP - same here, do not worry. You can later always buy a new cover for 10$, including d2livery.

10$? Where exactly can I buy that? Im not in the US, but if I can purchase that online and have it delivered here in the middle-east, it would be great.

I was wondering if any other tmo touchpro 2 owners had slightly squeaky battery covers, more specifically, when pressure is applied to the upper right hand corner of the cover, there would be a creaky sound or on any other corner or place on the battery cover....i'm wondering if its just mine...
Squeeky Battery Cover
I have T-Mobile's HTC Touch Pro2. Can't hear any squeaks.
I have the Telus TP2 and I get a squeak right near the volume buttons. I'm glad I'm not the only one, it's a PITA actually
Is it enough to swap my phone out, though? That's a good question...
No problem with mine. But I did read somewhere about Tmo tp2 owners complaining of loose battery cover.
I think I may go back to the TMO store I bought it from to see if there was anything they could do..hopefully there is cuz the creak is annoying..

Mine does too. Its just some plasticy fit/finish intermittent sound- no big deal.
As long as there are no funny noises from the front of the phone, and the battery cover
doesn't fall off by itself, I wouldn't really be bothered about some squeaks.
Mine squeaks when I press the front corner where the End call button is. But I started tilting the screen up and down, and now it doesn't squeak as much anymore

Yes, it does squeek whenever I press the end button. Will try the tilting if that fixes it.
hey guys just a quick question, im very worried for some reasons. my buttons feel some what loose but not very loose. is this normal?
and when i press my power button in a certain direction it makes a creaking sound? im thinking my otterbox commuter case damaged it but is it okay? but its still fully responsive, and finally, when i click my home button dead center it makes a slight click noise like on an apple device. maybe not as loud but when i click the sides of the home button, no sound at all.

I had the same problem with my home button, I just cleaned it with a pin around the edges and pressed it in different directions (Like pressing left, corners, bottom) and then wiped it with a wet paper towel which fixed my problem, its probably just dust build up?
If not you probably have to replace the buttons just get them from eBay.

No sorry I dont
After dozens of falls the side panel (with the buttons) got dislodged a bit in the edge. So I tried to remove it in order to straighten it and glue it. Don't ask how but I dropped by accident the volume button in the toilet.... Now I am missing the volume button and the side panel is very bent to the point I am not sure if I will be able to straighten it perfectly. Apart from that the phone works like a charm despite all the accidents!
Where do I find the volume button and the side panel if possible? Thanks for any heads up!

You can find a replacement housing on ebay here
Thank you for the fast reply! I also found these cases which also include buttons and they are quite cheap. Do you know if they are any good though?

This guys also sells them:

It seems that the side panel is not seperate with the front panel and not meant to be removed and/or installed again.
Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the LG G5 feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not used to the Volume Buttons
I sometimes hit the volume buttons when I don't mean to. Probably because I am used to having them on the back instead of the side.
Phone feels GREAT in hand!
Coupled with a Goospery TPU case...it's the PERFECT size, and protected decently! I'd choose this size phone over my Note 3!!!

I think the volume on the side is better than the back one for the following reason. When you are in sitting in a table studying and hearing music, if you want to increase or decrease the volume, you dont have to pick up the phone just because the buttons are in the back. Also, when you are driving if you are using a gps, it is more useful to have them on the side if you are constantly increasing and decreasing the volume. (Just an opinion)

I like buttons on back way better. You can always adjust volume on screen for the rare times you have it flat on a table, and to be honest you really can't use side buttons 1 handed without picking it up, or bracing it against something, or covering screen with hand anyways.

There you go lol. That's why there are a wide variety of colors. (Figurativerly speaking though) This one just happened to be black instead of blue (Again, figuratively speaking). But you can adjust the volume with one hand without the need of the other or picking up the device. Or am i just happen to be so skilled to do it? hahaha

Totally agree. About the only time I'd prefer them on the back is when I'm holding it in both hands. I generally find myself holding it in my right hand only though and it feels great, I can reach almost all of the screen without overreaching even with my bumper on. I prefer the S7 edge in this respect but the G5 still scores highly.

I'm not fond of the side volume buttons.. But regarding the awful implementation of these keys on the G5, it is totally solved by a case.
I would prefer the volume rocker to be on the right hand side of the phone, or even better, at the back. Besides that, it fits like a glove

I agree. While I would have preferred the volume buttons were on the right side, overall, it's a very comfortable phone. Especially considering how wide it is.
The only other issue that I have with it is that I really like and am getting so used to the power button being on the back of the phone. Whenever I have to use my wife's phone, I start fishing in the back of the phone with my finger standing there confused wondering why I can't find the power button on her S6. lol
#sprintemployee
My thoughts on the G5:
It's top heavy because of the light plastic at the bottom. I feel like its going to fall out of my hand at the top because the weight is not equally distributed. It feels nice in the hand outside of that.
The volume rocker is all wrong. They need to put it back on the rear of the phone. Coming from the G2 and G3, I hate having the volume rocker on the left side as I keep pressing the power button trying to change the volume. It also makes taking a screenshot really awkward and hard to do. At the very least put it on the right side of the phone. The only benefit I see to having it on the left side of the phone is that you can still use your thumb to take a photo yourself or a group using the rear camera. However; this could easily be accomplished on the right side of the phone with your index finger.
The headphone port needs to be moved back to the bottom of phone. Not a fan of it at the top.
The slight curve at the top of the phone is a neat touch; however my tempered glass screen protector has not showed up to see how well that will fit.
I haven't noticed the lip where the bottom connects to the phone's body as mentioned in a lot of the reviews.
Lg needs to start supplying 6' charging cords. The G5 cable is even smaller than the G2 - G4's cables.
Side note: Stupid Verizon removed the Smart Settings / My Place from their version and I wish they would leave the LG browser and Smartworld app installed.
Hi! I would like to ask everyone if you got a home button that is not level, that is somewhat slight depressed towards the Left or Right Side? Mine is just like that, though the full-function of the home button is not affected. I noticed that you can actually apply a bit of pressure and the home button will actually move. And there are times that the home button would feel like it wiggle but only very slightly, which is strange to me.
Am I alone or does anyone have the same issue?

Not alone. I feel it randomly as well.
Mine is slightly lower on the right side and if you look at it side on and press it with a nail the whole button depresses. Maybe it was originally designed to press?
I have this as well, I didn't bother RMA'ing my phone as it doesn't bother me almost at all.
No, it's not designed to "press"..
It's happening because either the left or the right side of your glass around the button isn't seating properly to the frame.
Look closely at the button and clamp the glass down against the frame. See how the gap get's smaller?
The way the button is secured in place is the rear of it resting against the internal frame and with the glass on top locking it down in place.
8:45 onwards for the innards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdQ3nRAaafM
Edit: And if you clamp the glass down, when you release the pressure the glass rises back up again slightly and so does the button thanks to the small amount of adhesive around it. Now the button appears to be level, well it is level with the glass but when you press the button it's going to "fall" back down to the place it belongs: against the frame and appears to not be level but it's the glass that's not level.
What do?
a) deal with it
b) RMA and hope the replacement is better

Ok. So what about it moving/wiggling so slightly at times? I tried leveling the button by applying a little bit of pressure on the other side but it quickly returns back to it's original place, which is slightly depressed towards the right side.
Double Post, sorry
