Was having the same issue, ended up getting this case, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X90UJS not a problem anymore!
Got a case and that was the primary reason i did. the button placement logic... "put the buttons where you can easily reach them". I dont want to easily reach buttons that I dont use. Come on guys, right in the middle? Just a terrible decision.
Me too! But I think after a while you get used to it!

I ordered skins for it before I got it. Now I feel like I need a case due to this. I just ordered this. When I skins get here I may end up with both.

Volume buttons should have been on opposite side from power button and not placed in the middle of the phone. Like the Nexus 5... Oh well..
Also use a case to eliminate accidentally pushing buttons.
If you don't mind finger print smudges, the Spigen thin fit case has good separation between the keys and has decent grip without the bulk.

Your left handed aren't you?
This is one of the biggest gripes I have with 6p. Just a bad usability flaw. That and the fact that the power button virtually has no resistance to it so it's easily pressed when you hit even a tiny piece of it. Any decent case with button covers fixes this, but it also increases the size of the phone.

I agree with this but it's rare enough that I deal with it. I did almost think my phone was randomly rebooting until I realized the power button was getting held down at rare times in my pocket if the angle was just right

I am and it's actually perfect for me lol. My palm rests along the left side of the phone and my finger is on the back and the rest sit right below volume down. Best phone ever lol
Can't remember the last time I used the power button except to turn off the device. I always turn it on via the fingerprint reader.
Also annoying placement when using a car holder....
I am using the verus case. Helps alot to avoid miss click. If anyone is interested in the case, I have attached a link

Not sure if my devices is refurbished or defunct, but when i press firmly on the sides of the INC 4g, I get a similar ripple effect like when you press on your LCD monitor too hard.
I came from the Inc 2 and the build quality on that device, i would have to say is a little bit better than the 4g. Anyone else experiencing this or is my device just faulty?
Mine does that too
Same here
weird, lol mine too.
Same here.
Mine does too... but why are we pressing our screens this hard in a place that will rarely get pressed at all?

I have this same problem. After removing my back to insert my microSD card and reattaching the back, the case no longer closes completely, with casing immediately on the bottom of the volume rocker not latching on properly. In attempting to make it, I pressed firmly on the edge and it made my screen ripple slightly for a moment.
My EVO4G would ripple when I squeezed the sides. It was one of those thing you found out about through other people complaining. Yet after a while I never even noticed that anymore. I don't think I ever needed to squeeze a phone that hard either.
Just remember. Cell phones are like cars. They used to build them well with no features, now they build them cheap with the works.
Speaking of build quality....my phone is barely 3 days old...dropped it a short distance..way shorter than more of the hundred plus times I dropped my inc 2...and the damn screen shattered.....wtf..
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
It's not necessarily how far you drop it (although there is a point at which height just overcomes everything, call it terminal velocity hehe) but it's where it hits. Tempered glass is extremely strong, but it's also tempered. An extremely light tap from just the right direction will cause it to shatter.
A perfect example of this was a gas station I worked at back in college. The glass they have that protects the cashier from an explosion is about 3 inch thick tempered glass. It would withstand an explosion of huge magnitude. I watched them replace that pane of glass one day, when they removed it, they loaded it into the back of a truck and gave it a slight rap on the corner with a hammer and it shattered in the bed of the truck. They did this intentionally by the way

Take some black electrical tape, cut a strips about 1 inch long and about 2-4 mm wide. You will want to put them under the lip of the back case, adhesive side in, on the middle left, upper right(above the antenna not on them), top and bottom. if you cut them thin enough the case will snap back on and never creak,
I had todo this on my rezound too, they made these backs really flimsy to the point where they eventually won't snap back together.
As the title says. This is the only thing I dislike about this phone. Other than that it is perfect. Anyone know how to make it recognize my face better while on the phone? It's always pressing keys and its a pain for people on the line.
Make sure your face covers the proximity sensor or buy the flap for it that they show in the commercials. You can talk with the screen covered.
I've made it so I almost never actually touch the screen with my skin because of that nice little cover. My screen is pretty and clean still.

Just received mine a few mins ago. Definitely like this alot more than the official Sammy cover. Not too heavy or thick and the magnetic auto on/off works without issue. I was concerned that the size of the tablet may not work well with the folded positions in landscape or portrait, but i am happy to report they are very stable in either position. I will have pix up shortly. At half the price of the official Sammy case it is worth every half penny...
Update-wanted to add i have no issue with the magnets when the cover is folded back..does not turn off or on..

OK got ya... yep i can see that happening with this case. i will test it this evening and report back.
Edit- after checking you really need to purposely squeeze it for it to work. I also this with a screen protector around the button it will even less likely hit it. The mime glass one i have on order should be enough.
Here is a pretty cool slim case option. http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...over-baseus-galaxy-note-pro-12-2-smart-cover/
I have the blue one at home now, unfortunately the mailman came late today. So will not be able to test it out much till 2 am!
The case has a nice rubber felling to it, i thought it would be more of a leather feel. This rubber feeling, i like more than the leather. All ports are easily accessed adn the secondary mic is open as well. It feels sturdy in each standing position, does not feel like it will fall to easily. did not expect the sides to be so open though. I baby my tablet, so not an issue for me. Over all, very happy with this case and would buy more from them

While placing my 6P flat on my desk I noticed it isn't siting flat. I can push on the top left corner and it raises the bottom right corner. Anyone else notice any sort of bending / warping? does it with or without case.
Phone still works but makes me question the build quality. Guess I'm too used to Moto's durability..

I have a SLIGHT warp on the bottom right of the phone. I called Huawei about it and they said it was covered by the manufacturer warranty. In my case it's not really that bad so I have no reason to RMA. But I will should it get worse. So far it hasn't.

Well you might have some luck with that, be very very careful doing that. That's a quick way to get a cracked screen. I know Gorilla Glass has a lot of flex in it and isn't the most brittle thing in the world, but it's still glass. Just my two cents, I haven't had this issue, but I will be keeping an eye on it as well.

That is the main reason I'm thinking of returning mine. My first 6P bent around the power button. My replacement has been fine, I've kept it in the speck case Google sells, but still a phone( metal or not) shouldn't warp from being used or being stored in the front pocket. Should we really be having to un-warp our phones? It's not normal.

My 6P is perfectly flat when face down on a granite countertop with no case.
If this was the iPhone that bent like this, alot of the android fan boys would be up in arms saying how much apple sucks, but since it's android we are willing to unbend our phones. Doesn't make alot of sense
I know it doesn't.
But comparing the way iPhone bent to Nexus is a bit different. Iphone bent quite badly. To be honest if my screen protector didn't peel on one side when I took my phone out of the pocket I would never thought to check if its bent lol
It does not affect everyday use by any way. Nor you can see it.
Note: it was first couple of hours since protector was applied that's why it peeled. Doesn't happen anymore
Saying that all are like that I meant they all prone to that slight body movement.

This is unacceptable, and we shouldn't be okay with it, or accepting it.
I mean it's a great looking phone, but by no means is the build quailty great. Kinda of like IKEA stuff, looks good, but not really that strong.
i noticed mine had a slight torque to it. it hasn't bothered me enough to do anything about it. i'm thinking one week before the protect expires i'll be buying a $79 N6P.

But the power button got dented inward and jammed up . Anything I do it doesn't work . I never knew the buttons are so fragile. It's so crazy that it couldn't even withstand a less the waist high drop .

Yes, the should be made from steel, just for you. Drops the phone, gets a dent, blames the material.
Solution: don't drop the phone
Though I agree the material of the buttons seems a little flimsy. I sorta jammed it putting a case on and I swear it's less clicky now.

When I first got my Nexus 6p; I thought the EXACT same thing.. Its like I barely pressed the power button; something just didn't feel right about it.
I ended up finding out it was an issue with my phone case (I was previously using a Spigen Rugged Armor). I purchased a Diztronic Ultra (my favorite case I used for my old phone, the OnePlus One; and then for the OnePlus Two). As soon as I switched to the new case; the power button seemed to feel much more "functional" and feel like it should.
I'm not sure if this is the scenario for you; but hopefully this may bring some insight on your issue.
I think all phone buttons are quite fragile, and their position is (partly) meant to protect them when dropped.
You had very bad luck, but it's no surprise that a direct drop on the button can actually break it. On the other hand, N6P's button is quite soft and easy to press, this *might* cause it to be more fragile than other phones'.
Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk
The button isn't specifically fragile... you dropped it and it must have hit the power button in a certain way causing the damage.
Think of how small the button is, even if it was make of something stronger, would probably still get damaged if dropped directly on it.

There is no such thing as a Diztronic Ultra for the 6P. You must have something else, perhaps the Full Matte. The power button on the 6P is, however a disgrace to whoever designed it, to the point where I found it unusable when the phone is naked or in a case that does not cover it. The Spigen Rugged Armor stiffens it up to an extent for me, but I have still set the phone to request confirmation on power down and reboot, and to use the proximity sensor to prevent accidental reboots in my pocket.
Power button has been less and less clicky to me. Has been an issue in both 6ps at home. I've since installed a custom kernel and use Swipe2Sleep to turn off the display.

My mistake, I was actually referring to the Diztronic Full Matte. I had the Diztronic Ultra for my old phones; the OnePlus One & the OnePlus Two. I do agree with the disappointment in the power button. For being the current Google Fi top smartphone, the power button feels like some cheap knockoff prepaid smartphone.
