Is the power button on your S2 more recessed than the volume buttons? On my phone that seems to be the case. I'm almost worried about pressing the power button too much...

Not got the device yet, but it's standard design practice to recess the power button to prevent accidental operation.
Yes its a bit harder to use than SGS 1 .

Oh, ok. I guess that makes sense. Although they could have easily avoided that issue by putting the power button on top.

Hi guys,
I have Clicky Home button - is it faulty?
By clickly I mean, it makes a unnatural sound when pressed, almost as if it sticking. The noise is noisy and not silent
The reason I have noticed this is because my brother has just had his delivered and its perfect on his. Do I have a faulty phone?
Your click is faulty. Nothing more I think it'd go away after pressing the button frequently.

I've had the phone for around 3 months, I doubt it will go away
Did you find solution? Could you replace your phone?
Hope you did!
Had my phone since they 1st came out and dont have any issues with the home button.
Has not changed at all. No loosening or strange clicking. I rarely use the power button but instead use the home button to turn on so it gets a good workout.

Mine is not like is loose, but is not as "firm" as the volumen rocker and the power buttom.
How about yours? Can you "shake" you finger over the Home and the button moves?
I'd say my home button is as snug a fit as the power and volume buttons but more sensitive to being pressed.

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
First
Is the power Button on your devices jiggling to? Mine seems to have one contact point in the middle but both ends (top & bottom) can be pressed down a little bit without actually pressing the button. You can feel this very good with going up and down over the key with a little preassure...
Second
There are two capacitive buttons on the device as you know: the options and the back button. I dont know if its made by design but my back button isnt as responsive as the option one. Sometimes it misses presses. Especially if i press really soft. The option button is catching all actions no matter if hard or soft. This happens mostly when backlight of the back button is off.
Could you please check this on your units.
I love this phone but these both little things drive me crazy.

Yeah my power button's the same so only time will tell if it's badly designed, and both capacitive buttons feel about the same, and if anything I find the screen a bit too sensitive.
Do you mean the home button or the power button on the top right side of the unit?

I mean the Power Button on the side of the unit.

I'm gonna buy an s3 this weekend and I wanna know if there are some hardware malfunctions like loose power button, volume buttons appear loose, back cover's creaky and what not.
You might find power button a bit loose, apart from that all is good. No hardware malfunctions

My power button doesn't "click" like vol and home buttons, but it's not so big deal for me.

none of my buttons creak and all work as they should.
my s2 used to have a very creaky home button so i know what you mean
Just like the Gnex and the SGS2 before it, the SGS3 has creaky back cover. The volume buttons get squeeky and the power button is loose.
All work as intended though.
From the reviews, it seems the power button is tough to hit, without completely changing your grip on the phone. I actually hated trying to hit the power button on the HTC one x. I assume this will be even tougher with the longer length. Are there any apps, to allow the volume rocker to power on the phone?

There is no doubt devs will implement a volume rocker wake toggle into roms in the near future.. but frankly I'm okay with the power btn, I have a Rezound with a button that's completely flush to the device xD It's annoying but the DNA looks like it has a little bit of "space" for u to hit it, aka it's not flush.
ah well.

I have a Nexus now and use the Liquid rom which definitely has this feature to wake up using volume buttons. Also there are apps like Smart screen On which make use of proximity sensor to wake up device.

Yes, the smart screen on app is fantastic, pull the phone out of your pocket or swipe your hand over the sensor and it wakes (to the unlock screen), put it back in your pocket (or leave the screen/flip the device to cover the prox sensor) and screen goes off!
Just want to make sure it's not just mine...
Does the volume rocker buttons have more of a "click" to them than the power button for anyone else?
I notice a slight difference, but nothing that major.
Mine feel the same

I never noticed it before but ya, mines the same. My power button doesn't click at all but the volume buttons both do. I don't really care either was about the clicking etc, so I'll assume its gonna last forever

It takes getting used to, but I've come to like it. If you have your phone on your desk for instance, you can just press the home button to see your notifications or the time, instead of having to hold the phone while pressing the power button. It also makes it easier to not accidentally press it when using the phone.
For me it's the opposite. My power button makes more of a click sound than my volume buttons.
I have a galaxy nexus but my volume button is way more clicky than my power button. This never really bothered me and makes sense in a way considering one is a two part button and the other is a one part button. A volume rocker should be clicky anyways so you know you pushed it.
