Has anyone been having issues with the volume rocker sticking. This is my 3rd replacement device and all 3 have had the same issue. Volume rocker sticks and won't press up or down and when it does work it moves the volume all the way up or all the way down. Recently, the dropped the device so I will have to do an insurance claim but that's a different story.
No issues with the volume rockers and I have 2
My volume down was sticking for a little bit but ended up going away. Phone was never exposed to any liquids either that can make it sticky or anything
No issues here as of yet.

Is it just me or is the power button too flush to find and and too soft to press. I believe I will eventually get accustomed to its position which is a bit lower than on the GS2, but the rounded bezel and flushness seem to make it a bit hard to press sometimes. The volume rocker seems more click for some reason.

It's just you, you'll adjust to it eventually.
I had pretty much the same issue. Maybe a little worse. My power button had no "click" whatsoever. It would often get stuck in when I pressed it to shut the screen off and would then cause my phone to reboot over and over until I noticed.
This happened way more often than I would expect from a £500 phone, so I called Vodafone and explained the issue. They sent a person to deliver a brand new phone the next day and the power button on this one is much, much better. So if you think you could swing it as faulty hardware, which mine clearly was, then I'd recommend getting it replaced.
Is your power button much flusher than the volume rocker? Mine seems so.

I think it's just you.... ive played with over a dozen S3s and all the volume buttons are clickier than the power buttons.
I am having an issue with my top volume button, it seems a bit sticky.
My power mutton is crap also, no click at all. I have samsung's slim case ant it's very hard to press power button. I bought that phone only 4 days ago, so i don't want to send it to repair service, it takes usually about 2-4 weeks

You shouldn't need to send it away for warranty repair, the button seems faulty, I would get it replaced. I have similar issues with mine, the power button is spongy and creaks. I will receive a door to door replacement today. Don't sell yourself short mate
yh its too flush, some times i have to double check that if its working and ive pressed it. but i got used to it
my volume up button is very sticky, sometimes press and volume goes full blast when i dont want. kinda annoying, taken button out and cleaned but no difference . not sure if i should send back as im rooted :crying:

The volume up button broke on mine after 4 days. It stopped springing back up after pressing it. Vodafone swapped my handset, and so far so good.
It is a little worrying to see others having similar issues with their buttons - I assumed mine was an isolated incident.
I'm gonna buy an s3 this weekend and I wanna know if there are some hardware malfunctions like loose power button, volume buttons appear loose, back cover's creaky and what not.
You might find power button a bit loose, apart from that all is good. No hardware malfunctions

My power button doesn't "click" like vol and home buttons, but it's not so big deal for me.

none of my buttons creak and all work as they should.
my s2 used to have a very creaky home button so i know what you mean
Just like the Gnex and the SGS2 before it, the SGS3 has creaky back cover. The volume buttons get squeeky and the power button is loose.
All work as intended though.
I love this phone: but the one and only killer using this device is learning how to touch it without changing the volume.
The phone almost cannot be handled in any way without the volume being changed.
Plug in a set of ear buds..... launch a radio app station...... then switch the phone from your right hand to your left hand...... and then try to put the phone into your inside jacket vest pocket with your right hand.....without going anywhere near the volume rocker?
If you're David Copperfield ....no problem.
Me?
I need to handle this DNA like a surgical instrument so as not to go anywhere near that damn volume rocker.
I must be the only one?
Getting one of those cases with create a cutout around the volume buttons is the answer. Unfortunate but yeah, these flush volume rocket buttons can be pain in the @$$.
I got this one before I ordered the phone : http://www.ebay.com/itm/130830868724
It arrived 1 day after I got the phone and now I dont accidentally push the volume buttons any more.

I guess that is (sadly) the only real answer.
I just love the look of the DNA as is.
Hate to hide that cool look.
But you're right and deserve a thanks for that.

Great suggestion.
Thanks
I believe I'm having a hardware failure with the rocker buttons. I have to press in certain spots to get the down key to function, and I have to press near the center of the rocker to get the up key to do anything.
It's been a while since an atrix apart, but can do so if needed. Is there anything I can do to attempt to repair this issue w/o ordering new parts? I know weird fixes exist for things like wifi, but not sure about this.
I know it's a hardware problem due to the fact that it's nearly impossible for me to get into recovery, since the keys barely function at all.
Thanks.

you start out by saying "i believe", and end off with "i know". its one or the other. luckily i know of the issue, having had it myself. it is a hardware issue. replace camera flex cable or replace device.

Just want to post an update. I had opened the phone up, and saw where the contacts were in relation to the buttons. The contact was pushed inwards towards the camera, so the buttons were not makign contact. Fixed it by cutting thin strips of plastic and inserting them in between the contacts and the camera. Buttons work like a charm and it was a free fix
Hi everyone,
I've seen a couple of users in this forum in different threads mentioning that the volume rocker is a little loose on their devices. The same is true for my Zenfone 9 and I couldn't determine if the rocker was faulty or if this was just because of how it was designed. (In my case the rocker has a wriggle room about a millimeter or so vertically. I haven't experienced any rattle from the rocker when playing music from the speakers that others have mentioned.)
Anyway, I sent the phone to Asus' Czech repair centre to have it checked. I got the phone back today with the following repair report:
"Zenfone was accepted for repair with the problem that the volume button is not seated correctly. The problem did not appear. The phone was compared with the same model, and the buttons are seated properly."
So according to this the rocker is supposed to be a little loose (since they impossibly could've missed that mine is when comparing to another device). Not sure if I 100 % believe this, thinking that it should've been reported by more users if this was the case for all Zenfone 9 devices. But hopefully this means that if your volume rocker is, as mine, just a little loose there's no need to worry.
I hope it's OK that I started a new thread on this issue.
PS. I have also discussed this issue in the Zentalk forum (https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/63091/play-in-volume-rocker-condensation-in-phone#latest).
This could help if the loose volume button still disturbs you:

The volume button is "fixed" by this cover. I have bought it because the cut for the buttons is smaler than stock. So its easier to hit the power button to unlock.
Same on my ZF9. A bit play up and down towards aux and charging port.
