The power and the volume buttons on my zenfone 5z are not total stiff. They are little movable. There is a little space just a tiny bit around the buttons. If I hold my phone in landscape mode and turn the buttons facing me I can move the buttons up and down just a little bit. Is it with everyone?
No issue with mine

Hello everybody,
I have an HTC Desire that has a problem with the volume buttons. The buttons were working until I dropped it on the floor. The phone had a silicone case and screen protector so it seemed fine until I tried to adjust the volume but it wouldn't work both up and down. I verified the problem by trying to go into the bootloader using vol-down + power but it wouldn't work.
I noticed that before I dropped the phone the volume button was rather fidgety meaning that I could use my thumb to move the button sideways and make it pop out a little bit but despite all that the button worked and I was able to flash LeeDroid on it.
After I dropped it, the button seemed to stabilized. I could no longer pop it out or move it side to side it seemed like the button popped back in and was secure but the function didn't work. I can still hear the click but nothing happened.
So thinking that something was just loose, I decided to void my warranty (if I had one) and disassemble my Desire in order to fix it.
Once I got in I discovered that the volume button was not as simple as it seemed. It appears the "clicker" (the rubber circle piece that makes the click sound) and the actual circuit board that controls the volume is held together on a metal plate with black tape. This means the purple plastic piece has nothing to do with the functionality of the volume key it just pushes the clicker taped to the circuit board.
So I'm confused and stuck on how to fix this. I checked the black ribbon and it seemed to be fine, no tears or anything. I'm wondering how a drop could affect the volume button considering everything is held together with tape including the volume control circuit board and the ribbon that connects it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or anyone know what the volume circuit board looks like without the black tape? I'd like to fix the volume button so I can flash Gingerbread on it.

there is a simple thing that people should realize. ..the position of the power button on the note 2 is awkward. .
.sometimes especially when you put the phone with the screen facing the thigh in the right side front pant pocket. .(especially my surgical scrubs)... the weight of the phone itself presses against the power button for few seconds and it reboots...
.I have noted this quite frequently and advice against putting the phone in the right side front pant pockets
Silly.... but true
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I've also noticed this and it is annoying. We just have to get used to this phenomenon.

I know what you mean about the scrubs. The phone use to do it with mine but since i got a hard case, doesn't happen anymore

Haven't realize this until now
It does seem like it's in kind of an odd spot. So far there have been a few times where I've went to hit the button, but reached to high up on the phone.
The button does end up right between my index and middle finger when I'm holding it with my left hang though, so maybe that's what they were going for with the design. So far, I have had no issues with it in my pocket though. I don't ever wear scrubs either though.
Sleep / Wake Power Button Too Easy to Press Accidentally
This might be my biggest complaint about the Note 2... I love the phone overall, but that power button is TOO easy to press!
I pull up a photo and want to hand the phone to someone to look at it on that big, pretty screen, and as soon as they take hold of the phone, the volume slider pops up and/or the phone is put to sleep!! Very annoying.
I've heard about a Volume Rocker app that gives a confirmation to prevent accidental volume changes, but what about the Power Button? I'd love it if there was a tweak that maybe used a double-click to activate sleep/wake from the power button. I'm guessing this would require some type of rooted custom ROM??
I agree with what you have found.
I have had my phone do the same thing on many occasions
I dropped my S3 while on the treadmill and now the power button is really sensitive, it gets pressed just from holding it or brushing up against the side. I probably going to send it in because its been less than a year so its still under manufactures warranty.
In the mean time, I know I've used ROMs that have on screen buttons in options, I could use one of those, then would it be possible to map the physical home button to be the power button?

Googling "remap i747" be faster ...
I ended up just installing Illusion, amazing AOSP rom by the way, and it let me enable software buttons and disable the hardware ones. It worked great until I could get a replacement phone.
Hi,
Just received my M8 and the first thing i noticed picking up the device is a rattling sound. Its already noticeable when i gently move it.
Its very loud when i shake it.
See the video (turn your volume all the way up please) :

Any more people having this ?
don't worry man, is the camera lens for the focus
It is the power and/or volume button slightly loose. Put your finger on the buttons just enough to hold them stable, then see if the rattle goes away. Seems to be a pretty common problem.

It's the power button. Slightly annoying, but nothing big.

so is the power button slightly loose for everyone? or is that a hardware / assembly fault? what do you think=
Is this a "thing"?
My Pixel XL is 3 days old. My power button is a bit stiff to press and barely registers a "click" when pressed. Volume buttons, on the other hand, are very snappy/clicky.
I was in Best Buy yesterday and saw the demo phone. Pwr button was also "stiff", but not nearly as stiff as mine. That button was clearly clicky.
Guessing this is a valid RMA issue, but was curious if a common issue.
Mine had this problem and after about 2 weeks of use it now clicks every time. But sometimes it makse a click sound before I even press it down, such as when first touching it or applying pressure to press it. So it bascailly makes an audible click twice now sometimes. I've seen this posted a few times. Poor design/QC...
Mine seems to work fine however it is a bit stiffer than most phones I have owned.
