Anyone hate how the volume buttons are placed? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I just don't like the design.. if you slide your finger gently across them you can feel them creaking. 0.0
Can you feel it?

Oh and just for the record....I love this phone in both form and factor. I cant even find one thing to ***** about.....I am a total fanboy and do not accept that this phone has any flaws or that any current device is really even comparable.

Yeah, i can't complain at all myself. Of course I'm also coming from an HTC Aria...although i did love that little phone.
A for our volume keys, mine are rock solid; no creaking or squeaking to speak of. Huh.

Lmmfao. I get where he's coming from though the buttons are one of my few small grips, that and I wish we got an 1800mah-2000mah battery instead of 1650.

I had the HTC aria too!!
haha I kinda missed that little phone that I gave away.

Coming from an HTC Inspire 4G, rock solid device except for the battery and Sim covers. That thing had the thickest gorilla glass I've ever seen. Weighed a ton as a result lol
I love my SGS2 though, love how little it weighs too while feeling pretty dang solid.

I hate the volume buttons, too, but for a different reason. Being that they are directly opposite the power button I often find myself raising or lowering the volume when I am trying to press the power button (to wake the phone) with one hand. Having a TPU case on the phone makes it worse because it takes a little more effort to press the power button. I have to be very deliberate with my finger placement in order not to activate the volume buttons. It's a small gripe considering how great the phone is, but he asked.

I have a TC tpu case that has a cut-out for the power button, but covers the volume buttons, making power easier to find in the dark, and volume buttons slightly harder to press. Solves that problem for me.

Only gripes I have about the phone is the area slightly under the volume buttons, if you press it in and then press the back of the phone near it it'll make a bad creaking sound.
The other is the battery controller we're supposedly using blows compared to the original.

I don't like em either wish they were higher

[Q] Home button coming lose. [SGS2]

Hi guys,
I've noticed over the past few weeks that the hard button (home button) has been coming a bit lose on the right side.
It tends to make a squeaking sound when touched lightly however the button functions at 100%.
Anyone else notice the home button loosening a bit?
Some GS2s have firm and some have loose home button, so no need to panic as long as it works.
Apply a little pressure to the right side of the button. Does it eventually click in place? So that you no more have a loose button?

Yeah that works.... but eventually later on it comes lose again.
Would it be something underneath, the creaking sound its really pissing me off.
I had this, i sent it for repair which fixed it. However, 2 weeks later its loose again.

You're right. It's a buildquality thing.
I own mine a few months now, dropped it like 10 times and apart from a little chip in the upperlefthandcorner it still looks good, I don't use a case or anything.

i feel like i got the same thing on my s2
the button is not loose but it moves in place; hardly distinguishable though unless you use a magnifying glass
many reported having light leaking on the sides of the button, i don't have that,
i don't know if i should be happy or
phone is overall fine, its the closest you can get to perfect, with the exception of some varying degree of yellow tint, which i know will be resolved when the official 2.3.4/.5 rom release in my region.
other than that, handle with care, lol.
is it normal for there to be some flexibility when touching the home button, or is the home button suppose to stay in one place? I noticed that the home button moves around its housing a bit (i dont know if this is the right word to use)
if you get too picky about it you can sometimes hear a a minuscule squeak, but when pressing from an extreme corner.
let me know
I had this also but I was able to snap it back...

Opinions: What Do You Think of the HTC Amaze Design?

So I've been living with the Amaze for a couple of weeks now and the design has certainly grown me. It's a bit of a foray from the more traditional, plastic clad Android handsets out there but it never really shouts "look at me!".
So my question to all of you fellow Amaze users is, "What do you think of the design?"
Personally, I quite like the beveled edge with the screen sitting above the bezel but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think.

You've posted in the right place so no worries and i love the design, i think its one of the best looking ive used to this day. but since HTC has made these designs (sensation, amaze) how the whole back comes off. these phones have much issues. like my sensation for example, the whole digitizer would press down onto my LCD so i sent it back and got this, the issues i have no is what everyone else is suffering from lol
Beautiful design! Second to none!
Honestly I think its the best looking android phone out right now, if not right beside the galaxy nexus

I'm fairly impressed. I really like having all the buttons on one side with charger on the other. Wakeup with camera button is a great feature for a phone with a great camera, plus the video button is handy too.
One oversight is the camera flash being too close to the camera lense. I also dislike using the phone without a case because there is no traction to hold the phone on the edges.

The Amaze replaced my Nexus S. It took some adjustment but I really like it. I feel I need to be a bit more careful with it as I'd hate to drop it and I don't think it would survive very well due to it's heavier weight.
Still waiting for my gel case to arrive.

Decent design. Build quality could be better.
Squeeking on the bottom right of mine, power button feels meh.
Otherwise nice phone.
I like the sturdy quality of the phone, but when the backplate creaks it really ticks me off, especially when the snap-on plastic back cover of the Samsung phones don't creak nearly as loud or as much. Overall, it's a good looking phone, I wish it wasn't as heavy and bulky looking though.

Probably from removing the back cover numerous times to battery pull and/or swap micro SD's, it doesn't creak when in normal usage but when pressure is applied to some points then it's a pretty noticeable sound for me

Just got my 3vo and the power button sucks!

I can't even press it properly! Any help?

This is something that I totally agree with and is my only complaint with the phone. Mine was the same way from day one. It's just a design flaw....a bad one at that. Button feels "spongy" and have to usually use a fingernail to push it just right. learned to live with it though.

if you break it, which from seeing your posts here in this thread you are likely to do so, i'm sorry to hear that.
Seriously, if you have problems with the power button to where you need to use a fingernail to push it just right, take it into a Sprint store and either have it fixed or replaced. I've had mine since day one and have never had issues with the power button. Sticks out just far enough, and has a light "click" feeling when I press it. If yours is spongy and not working, get it fixed.
I have never had this issue with mine. I imagine Sprint could fix it. However, if you go with a custom ROM there are ways to use the volume buttons to wake. Joelz ICS has this option built-in.

I like mine works great I like how they did it this round. I was always afraid of breakin them on the EVO cause after alot of use they would squeek..
On the evo 3d no issues with mine
Go to a Sprint store and ask for a new cover. The power\volume buttons are on the battery cover not the actual phone.
Well, technically it's all a part of the actual phone, but you know what I mean.

Get a replacement back cover or use a rom with volume wake. Also use screen off and lock, free from the market to turn off the screen by pressing the screen and not smashing your button all day long.

Build Quality

Wow.! The build quality on this thing is AMAZING. I've dropped it so many times (clumsy me), and I just now dropped my phone one foot off a hard surface (which is quite a height, for me), and not a little scratch dared to show up on my phone.

Yeah but you knwo what, with the first one i had, I had that slight bend as well. Im not sure if it due to the strength of the beack of the phone, but the Metal bezel around the perimeter of the device. WHen i took my phone apart, the Metal bezel was super flexable. I think thats where the weakness comes from altogether. But thats my opinion. Other than that, I think this device is built very well. The back is incredibly ugly LOL, but has a nice feel to it. ALso the screen glass, is pretty durible itself.
The longer this phone is out the more it appears to be a model to skip. I don't think i have ever seen a phone bend before. Aluminum, while cheap, does not have the strength needed for this phone. Very poor design.

I would assume at least one. If a screen cracks while a phone is being held, then I'll be mortified/impressed.
Overall, I'm pleased with the build quality of this phone. I thought the 3D moved forward in some aspects and backward in others, but I feel this phone simply moves forward. I chuckle when people say the back of the phone looks ugly. Are you spending a lot of time looking at the back of your phone?

Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends. Please show me any other phone that has this problem, better yet, show me how to stop it from happening. Is there a case out there that is designed to prevent a phone from bending?

Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends.

Salaxy S3 Screen click/popping sound

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I got my SGS3 a couple of days ago (so far I like the phone a lot, coming from an iPhone4) and I noticed today that when I tap the upper side of the screen I hear a little buzzing/clicking or popping sound. It feels like there is something loose inside that moves, and it only happens on the upper side of the screen. When I tap the bottom or mid section this sound is not apparent.
I can also feel/hear the sound when I shake the phone.
Is this normal for this phone or should I go back to the att re-seller and complain?
Thank you
That's definitely not normal. I'd take it in and have them replace it.
I've never heard of a Salaxy S3 with this, better get it replaced
this is really interesting - I actually went back to the store and played with a couple of the GS3 they had. Both were doing exactly what I experience on mine. I guess this is something normal for GS3's...
I guess I am waaay too picky andd will have to learn to live with this

Ohhh I hear what your talking about.. but you have to hit it pretty hard..... and it is not very loud.
Yeahhh, unfortunately for me that is how I tap my screen all the time and it drives me insane. It is more like a buzzing sound than anything else. It almost looks like something is loose inside the phone in the upper area of the screen.

Don't smash your fingers against your phone haha it is a phone not a punching bag.
My phone has the same issue as well. When you tap top of the screen, sounds like the screen is loose.

Ha ha never would have noticed it if you didn't say anything. Probably a sensor.

You know - now I notice this even when I leave my phone on the table.
It DRIVES ME insane,...
Come on SAMSUNG -- you just cant have these weird loose, buzzing noises from your "flagship device"!!!
The glossy cheap looking back I fixed with a nice cover, but this....I cant fix
I'm tapping on all sides of my upper screen and can't seem to reproduce this problem.

Hmm will deff. try this when I get mine but I don't really press on my phones screen. Just a simple tap, tap, tap-a-roo will do.
I'm seeing the same thing on my Verizon GSIII. I took off the battery door and can reproduce it by pressing on the plastic frame near the volume control. It is clearly the plastic case making the creaking sounds. So annoying.
I was considering exchanging the phone because of this, however now it sounds like it is more widespread. Should I just live with it? Does anyone Galaxy Nexus's do this?

I'd go in and get a replacement. Mine doesn't do this at all. Verizon has already screwed us all enough. The least they can do is replace your defective device.

I noticed the exact same problem with my device. It's the side buttons.
