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.

This is crazyyyy! Why did they put the power button on the other side of the volume button? I'm finding myself constantly turning the volume down when i try and turn the screen of because your hand naturally positions your fingers there to get some leverage!
Would have been much better along the top edge IMO
Agree should have put it on top like the nexus one and desire
The phone is too long to have the power button on top. It's also too thin at the top to have a button there, but the power button location is mostly because of the phone's size.
I did this once now I dint its all about how you hold the phone and now I don't press any volume keys when hitting the power button

You'll get used to it. It's not better or worse than a button on the top, just different, especially when you come from another phone. Give it a week or two and this becomes a none-issue.
As said above
This had been standard design for Samsung Android phones since the GS1

I have to agree that the current location is plain stupid.
The number of times I've hit it when either using the volume buttons or holding my phone playing a game is too many to count over the last week.
Poor industrial design that one.
lol coming from an iphone , this is really the only thing that bothers me.
I actually prefer it to the unthought out position that HTC choose for their massive smartphones ... you'll get used to it and you'll love it

Who/what is crazy here?? Come on, grow up! Life is full of changes and opportunities. If you're this upset about a powerbutton on a different place than you are used to, then go live in a cave and don't move.

yeah i still go for the home button like on my iPhone, but i've only had my Nexus 4 days..
I like the power button being on the side much better. Especially for these bigger devices. It would be awkward to unlock with one hand if it was on top. I don't know maybe I'm a bit biased because I have owned the gs1 and gs2. Either way I have never had an issue with the button placement before.
I like it where it is, on the side. Previously I have had some HTC phones, so I've experienced both. In my opinion, it's way easier and faster to turn the screen on/off. And I've never had a problem with it.

Same with me. I've also had 2 previous HTC devices, but I prefer the power button on the side now.
The thing that really tripped me up is the volume being on the opposite side. That messed me up more than the power button location.
Just a guess, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the screenshot feature. Having buttons on the opposite sides allows you to just squeeze the phone in the position you're probably already holding it in.

The screenshot feature came long after the side button placement on phones. The button combination for it was likely created for the reason you said though. Well that and they're pretty limited in what combinations they can do when there aren't many buttons.
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...

Are the buttons on the M9 clicky or squishy? The power button on the m7 had zero feedback. Has this been changed for the m9?

Now the power button has 100% feedback, moreover feels very different from two volume buttons when touched/sensed..
NO issues with any of my buttons. They all provide excellent feedback.
I'd characterize the buttons as "soft clicky". A definite click, but not harsh. The power button definitely feels different, but I think it's a little too close to the volume buttons myself. I almost never use it, thanks to double-tap screen on and Gravity Screen app.

Is the power button lower more flush than the volume buttons?
No, they're about the same on my phone.
Sent from my HTC One M9 on Tapatalk
Power button has ridges hence feels different from volume buttons..
On mine the volume down is almost flush with the phone, and is spongy, and the volume up and power buttons are clicky and stick out more.
I'm sure they'll stand the test of time though.

Yep, mine are just the same as this!
On mine the volume down and power are flusher with the phone and more of a soft click and the volume up sticks out a little and is a little more clicky but all are very responsive
my volume up button has no feedback/less feedback then the volume down button
Both volume buttons are clicky and nice on mine, but the power button is squishy/loose/very little travel. I keep pressing it accidently it is so annoying

No I never had any problems with response on the buttons they worked fine, but unfortunately I cracked my screen and just got my replacement and the volume up and power button stick out further and the volume down is in.
Phone feels great, but i recently noticed that the power button is not as tactile and raised as the volume rocker. I need to press it on the middle to work or else the edge kind of flattens out with the phone. Does anyone else have this problem?
Power button on HTC 10 not as tactile as volume rockers
The same exact thing is happening on my HTC 10. Whenever I click the power button. I do not hear a click but the phone reacts. I too have noticed that it is not as tactile as the volume rockers. I hope this is not a common fault in the manufacturing since I have only had the phone for one week.
It's normal, my power button is really clicky but still a little less so than the volume buttons. It does rock slightly as the actual button is in the middle whereas the volume buttons are perfectly stable. Mine is level with the volume buttons however.
I had to replace my HTC 10 due to the fact carphone warehouse gave me the wrong one originally for my click and collect order so my SIM card wouldn't work.
The first had a clicky power button that was easy to press and solid. The second one is spongy and harder to press while in a case but is very solid.
Both are acceptable for me at least.
I just accepted it because it isn't such a big "flaw", atleast it works
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
