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?

Is it just me or is the power button too flush to find and and too soft to press. I believe I will eventually get accustomed to its position which is a bit lower than on the GS2, but the rounded bezel and flushness seem to make it a bit hard to press sometimes. The volume rocker seems more click for some reason.

It's just you, you'll adjust to it eventually.
I had pretty much the same issue. Maybe a little worse. My power button had no "click" whatsoever. It would often get stuck in when I pressed it to shut the screen off and would then cause my phone to reboot over and over until I noticed.
This happened way more often than I would expect from a £500 phone, so I called Vodafone and explained the issue. They sent a person to deliver a brand new phone the next day and the power button on this one is much, much better. So if you think you could swing it as faulty hardware, which mine clearly was, then I'd recommend getting it replaced.
Is your power button much flusher than the volume rocker? Mine seems so.

I think it's just you.... ive played with over a dozen S3s and all the volume buttons are clickier than the power buttons.
I am having an issue with my top volume button, it seems a bit sticky.
My power mutton is crap also, no click at all. I have samsung's slim case ant it's very hard to press power button. I bought that phone only 4 days ago, so i don't want to send it to repair service, it takes usually about 2-4 weeks

You shouldn't need to send it away for warranty repair, the button seems faulty, I would get it replaced. I have similar issues with mine, the power button is spongy and creaks. I will receive a door to door replacement today. Don't sell yourself short mate
yh its too flush, some times i have to double check that if its working and ive pressed it. but i got used to it
my volume up button is very sticky, sometimes press and volume goes full blast when i dont want. kinda annoying, taken button out and cleaned but no difference . not sure if i should send back as im rooted :crying:

The volume up button broke on mine after 4 days. It stopped springing back up after pressing it. Vodafone swapped my handset, and so far so good.
It is a little worrying to see others having similar issues with their buttons - I assumed mine was an isolated incident.
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.
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.

Hey guys, something that iv'e been noticing lately that has been an annoyance. I notice sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and press the power button nothing happens unless I press it twice, it seems the power button doesn't respond until the second screen turns on. Is this some sort of software setting that has to do with the gyro sensor and being in my pocket?

I can't reproduce this. In fact my phone will turn on in my pocket of it press the power button. Fingerprint reader unlocks it there.

This is my first LG phone, I honestly could be pressing a volume button by mistake, but I can't figure it out! I also do not use the fingerprint reader, not sure if that would really make a difference with this situation however.
I've had back buttons using the G2 and G3. It took me a while to not press a volume key instead of the power button. I always used knock on with those phones though, never the power button. Fingerprint reader has been awesome to me. If it's taking 2 taps you might have a defective unit.

No, you got it right. The phone is basically sleeping while the second screen is off. It doesn't turn on until the proximity sensor trips it to come back on. Put the phone in your pocket and wait a minute. Take it out really quick and try and turn it on. Or even use the knock on..... It won't work.... It's kind of annoying.... Lol.
Android Central mentioned that annoyance in their review.... :banghead:

Yup, I just put it on a flat surface for a few seconds, quickly picked it up and hit the power button. Nothing. Annoying!
