Hi,
I have the following very annoying issue. Whenever I press the volume button a tiny bit too firm, it goes all the way to max settings - quite painful if you have earphones on.
Is this a known issue? How can I fix this?
Many thanks

Unfortunately i too have this problem. It seems like its hardware for me as the vol+up sticks in sometimes when i press it.

Does anyone have an idea how to get the GS2 to wake up (switch the screen on) a bit quicker when wanting to hang up?
It still take ages (latest f/w), and I find the call is already terminated by the time the screen wakes to allow me to press the red button.
It's great that this thing takes 1080p videos, has a wonderful screen etc etc, but it's a phone ffs.
I am having this issue as well and would like to know any suggestions to fix the issue.

Hi you can choose either of the following options;
Turn off Proximity sensor
Settings > Call > Turn off Proximity sensor
Configure Power button to end call
Settings > Call > Call answering/ending > The power key ends calls
I am using Power button to end call.. It helps to end call just by pressing power button instead of waiting for the screen to wake up..
Hope it helps...
Ah, nice one. Should have found that really, shouldn't I.
Thanks for that - will use the power button thing.
Same problem here. using Power button to end call works fine .
Problem is, I hung up on my mum last night trying to wake the phone.
Are the volume buttons easy to fix? Vol up not working at all and vol down double clicks often. Vibration makes rattling sounds I have no idea why...
Any response will be highly appreciated

Hey guys,
Anyone of you feeling the same as me and my s3?
Sort of all the time accidentally touch the power button and yeah as you know, the screen gone. Sometimes touch it a bit longer then expected, then yeah again a power menu come up. What you gonna do just need to escape from them and continue your work.
You can say that it not a big thing and I can say that it's so annoyed.
So back to the question. Any idea to configure the sensitivity of the button?
Like prevent the short press or setup the time out of the hold pressing?
Cheers,

Anyone else have this issue? When I short press the power button to turn off the screen, it sometimes looks like it's going to turn the screen off then turns back on to the lock screen.
This has caused me all kinds of pocket dialing / pocket shortcut making / pocket emailling issues.
I THINK this issue might be caused by the Screebl app (app that keeps screen on when being held) since I can't replicate it with it off. I really would like to use it though because it's a really useful app. Any suggestions?
I can't half press my power button. It just turns off when I apply little pressure
Must be an isolated issue

It's not a half press. It's a short press (vs long press - which would bring up the power menu to shut down, restart, etc). It turns the screen off, then it blinks back on to the lock screen, but seemingly only when Screebl is enabled. Might just have to drop that app, but I'd rather not because it's damn useful.

Your last paragraph seems as if you've already isolated the problem. Unfortunately, I think you know your only choice. I'd consider contacting the creator of the app.

If i do a very quick short press with netflix open it brings me to the lock screen. no big deal
Hey, I just wanted to confirm that this is not just isolated to your phone. I have had this issue with two phones so far, a Samsung Vibrant and an HTC One S. I've been looking for an answer as well, but so far turning off Screebl has been the only solution. Sucks because I love Screebl.
Hello everyone I'm experiencing a very strange issue. Whenever I press towards the top center of the screen sometimes my screen goes black as if I hit the power key and then when I press the home button it doesn't turn back on usually I have to press the power button once then one more time to get the screen to get back on. You have to squeeze or press down the screen firmly a little hard I'll be asleep its not normal to do that but regardless doing that makes my phone turn off and then not turn back on until I press the power key twice. The screen appears to be off and all black but the soft keys vibrate as if thescreen was on and use. Does anyone else have this type of problem when pressing down on the screen? Or has anyone else experienced this some other way and has some type of solution or should I exchange?

I don't have that issue I, only have like many users that little lag when waking the screen. The problem your describing sounds very abnormal. I would def. Check out an exchange option if you have it bro.
