The volume up button on my S3 does not 'click' when pressed, instead there is a squeaky plastic rubbing on plastic sound. Also when I put my phone case on, the up button gets jammed and the squeaking intensifies, it's getting quite annoying... No issues with the down button. Anyone else have this problem? Any quick fix for this?
I have the same issue! My volume rocker and power buttons produce a noticeable and announcing squeak when pressed. The SIII I had before this one did not have the issue.

Maybe it's something a syringe and a tiny bit of mineral oil can fix...
Or... just spray some WD-40 directly in there j/k

This may seem a little OCD, but is the power button a little loose for everyone? I popped my case off really hard and I feel like I might have pulled it hard and messed something up. This is loose compared to the volume rocker though. Replies would be appreciated and call my nerves some.
Thanks!
My power button seems "squishy" while the volume and home buttons are more "clicky."
I'm guessing it's normal. I keep thinking the same thing when I take my case off and put it back on....
Haha thanks I was expecting someone to rip me for that post haha. Makes me feel 100 times better.

I asked the danish Samsung support and they answered, that it is normal that the powerbutton tilts up to 1 mm.

does anyone have a loose volume rocker? i understand the power button and figured that's how it was supposed to be, but the volume rocker is different in comparison. if you lay the phone flat on a surface, on mine i'm able to wiggle the volume rocker up and down. so front to back of the phone. anyone else's like this?

My volume rocker wiggles much more than the power button. If I tap the phone anywhere near it gently, it even rattles.

looks like Sammy failed on the hardware this time. in comparison, all buttons were solid on my international SGS2 and my international GNex. it may possibly be because of the coating of the band around the phone and thus they had to use a different process.
edit: i will add, however, this is the very first Sammy device with no screen issues i've ever had. no banding, no bad spots. nothing. i was quite please in this area.
I might just deal with it. The ink spots aren't bad at all on my screen. Of course now I notice the rattle more.. Just moving it forward and backward semi swiftly makes a rattle noise.

yeah i'm worried about getting one with a bad screen if i get a good rocker. just fail.
received my second device today and i can confirm that there was a little more play in the first device. the volume rocker now matches the power button, on the second device, in regards to wiggle/play. cheers!
I just bought a brand new HTC One and I noticed the volume rocker is loose but also that the volume up section is raised and not flush with the body. The volume down section is flush. There is also so uneven spacing to where the volume rocker isn't the same distance away from the body as in other places.
Is this normal?
That is not normal. I would exchange it.

Not normal, my rocker button is flush against the body top and bottom
So I originally got the S6 before getting the S6 Edge, and the S6 had fairly non wiggly buttons(volume rockers and power button, not home button). However, my S6 Edge has pretty loose volume rockers/power button and so they wiggle a lot. Anyone else experiencing this?
I actually have this problem. When I go to pick up my phone and touch a button, it sounds like there's a plastic film on it
Everyone does it. The buttons have give to them.
Hmmmm... My power and volume up button seem some what loose but my volume down button is very crisp. Not really a big deal to me as none rattle our making any noise even if I vigorously shake the phone but I could see how you could find it irritating.

hi guys
been looking for posts /threads about those loose/wiggly buttons in here
and i found out that S8 seems got similar issues where either power button or bixby button or even both button seems not as tight as volume button
while this is probably not big concern or have any effect to water/dust resistant with the one that have loose button as it have more gap than the button have tight-fit
i am curious is that manufacturing defect and should be replaced
or most people get similar slight "loose" button and said it within manufacturing quality
I have noticed this too, but not just for those buttons. All of the hardware buttons on my note 8 are a bit loose, it's possible to wiggle them up and down very slightly and make a sort of taking sound. No idea if this affects the waterproofing though. On my previous phone (iPhone 6) there was no movement whatsoever.
Yes i noticed that too and because my S8 power button wasn't that loose, i went to the store to test the models there but they were all the same, so i think its normal
Happens after some wear and tear on them.
It shouldnt effect the water rating since the buttons are on the very outside.
Inside the phone the button area is cup. So even if the button itself came out its still sealed.
The tear down videos and photo show all this.

Hum on that idk.
Mines out the box was tight. And even right now the only buttons that is a little lose is the bixiy button.
But my s7e was like this. Very firm out the box, then a few months later the vol would rock very easy.
Trivial question here. So are the power and volume rocker buttons supposed to be flush with the rest of the case? I also noticed it's really hard to press down on the buttons and when I do, it makes a loud clicky noise!
You're talking about the phone naked, yes?
Mine aren't flush, but they don't stick out very far. They are also very easy to press and I enjoy the clicks when they're pressed.
Mine stick out about 0.2 - 0.3 mm and are very easy and pleasant to press, definitely sounds like something is wrong with yours.
