Loose buttons? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

The power button is too soft?

I found my radar(uk sim-free)'s power button is too soft , i even cannot feel whether i press it or not~
does anyone has the same feeling ?
I have a Tmo radar and agree the power button is very low profile. I kind of like that, once you use the phone for a little bit, you know where the button is. I wouldn't mind if it were a bit stiffer, but i'll get used to it.
I do not like my buttons to be flushed so I bought a case that covers the buttons and has distinct button marks on the surface and I'm happy now.

[Q] Squeaking Volume Rocker

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

Note8 slight loose power & bixby button ?

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.

Power Button feels recessed

Hello folks,
Do any of you feel that their phones power button is a bit recessed (more than it should be) mine works just fine but today I checked another Note 9s and its power button was a little more clicky thus easier to press than mine. I wonder if its due to normal difference in tolerance?
Edit: Its almost flush with the body which makes it a little harder to press but it still clicks.

Question How flush is the power button and volume rocker?

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.
