[Q] Oriemtation of physical buttons - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Re the physical buttons pictured here:
http://www.dellstreakrepairs.co.uk/images/button set.JPG
Which way do they go into the frame? I am right with the camera and volume buttons, as I noted which way they were, but the on/off button fell out before I could note which way the tab went. Anyone have an idea?

-- Mic Jack - Vol Up/Vol Down ----------- Power --- Camera ---
Holding it with screen facing you rightside up.

Thanks, but you misunderstood me ......... I know WHERE each button goes, as you have described. But which way does each individual button sit in the frame?
As I said, I know the camera and the volume buttons, because they have external features that are assymetrical and I noted which way they went before disassembling the phone.
But if you look at the on/off button in the photo is has a little stepped tab on one side. Does this tab point towards the screen or towards the back of the camera?
Regards, Bernie.

Galaxy S II Home button click?

I'm not sure if the home button on my GS2 is normal... Does anyone elses click loudly when you press it? It just feels strange and I want to make sure it's not faulty...
Cheers
Its a difficult to guess what 'loud' is in this case, mate. But most of the time, buttons need to be worn in for them to work smoothly.
I've only had the GS2 for about 5 days. Hmm, but I was just wondering if all the GS2 click when you press in the home button...
Thanks
Mine clicks. It's a pretty clicky button. But half as loud as a mouse-click.
That sounds about right then. Also if I apply pressure onto the button and don't full depress it, there is a little bit of movement in the button, this is what made me think at first maybe the button got dislodged somehow? But I wasn't sure... Hopefully it's OK.
Cheers
can we adjust the click sound volume level? or disable it (no silence all)?

If you remove the battery you see a small knob which you can rotate. By default it's on position 7 (from 1-10). Which is rather loud. You can turn it anti-clockwise to 1 (least amount of clickety-noise), but if you turn it a bit further (there will be some resistance) you can fully disable the sound the Home button makes.
Next to the knob is also a little switch with which you can disable the Home button lag. By default it's on "Lag" but I usually turn it to "Lagfree". It also made my homescreen-switching smoother, but I think that might be a placebo, not sure.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
My unit has not so such tuning features for home button (and i would love it), very smooth for my taste...

[Q] Back button not so sensitive

Hi!
I bought a i9100 on eBay 1 month ago and I'm truly safistied with it.
But it looks like it might have developed a problem.
The back button (on the right side) isn't so sensitive as the Menu button (left side). Sometimes I've to put some more pressure to make it work (nothing really hard) and the area where the button works is smaller than the Menu button. The menu button works if I touch almost any area on the left side.
I've a screen protector installed.
Any tips?
Thanks!
i am also facing with same problem...i have not be able to find any solution for this

[Q] Extremely dumb question - which way is up?

This is probably the dumbest question ever asked on this forum, but I have no idea which end is up on my Tab. I bought this thing used off CL so I have no idea how the orientation was out of box. Then, it works no matter how I turn it in my hands which confuses me more.
So, I figured a simple solution would be to look at the volume rocker and see which way I have to push it to turn the volume up. That makes me think the power button/volume goes in the lower left hand corner. But I find myself bumping the buttons during regular use and the Time magazine app displays upside down. So I rotate it the other way so the power button/volume is in the upper right hand of the device but now when I press volume down the volume goes up and vice versa so I'm extremely confused. Which end is up on this thing?
You want the buttons on the top of the Tab.
The Word SAMSUNG should be in the lower...
...in addition, the 30 pin connector is at the bottop, right below SAMSUNG ...

His question is about portrait mode.
As per me the volume buttons should be top right hand corner. Also try to get accustomed to use the volume button in the opposite way

So the volume rocker is backwards then? When I'm holding it in portrait (I never use it in landscape ever) the dock connector is on the left and the power buttons on the right then? Why is the rocker backwards?
1) Correct, this is the dumbest question ever asked on this forum.
2) There is no "up" on a tablet. That's kind of the point. Some programs will turn to a specific orientation. In these programs, your best bet is to turn the tablet so that the words read left to right. Or so that the angry birds fly from left to right. I really hope you get the picture, but judging from the question, I'm skeptical that you don't need a youtube video (the "play" button should be in the lower left hand corner).

Thing is I feel like I'm operating a helicopter with all the spinning. I just want one end to be up so I can label it with an arrow or something. Different apps change the orientation confusing the crap out of me.
Just use it the way it fits best to use.
And as a hint, the tab is less laggier if you hold it landscape with the Samsung Logo readable. A weird Tegra 2 Bug which hasn't been fixed until know, hardware problem
Go into the settings and turn off autorotate then. Problem solved. At least one of them, that is...

I tried that at first. But some apps turned it upside down and the market always goes into landscape for some reason. It never displays in portrait.
If there was a hall of fame for stupid threads on XDA, this one would be in it.
No need for that, we all have to start off somewhere.
Galaxy tab 10.1 is supposed to be operated in landscape mode. So almost all the apps will open in landscape except some non tablet optimized ones.

[Q] Button Creaking

Does anyone else's power button and home button creak on the Galaxy S 3 when you don't press the respective buttons head on? It seems to me that when pressed on the side (for the home button) and the bottom (on the power button) it creaks occasionally. I absolutely love it, but sometimes it can get a bit bothersome, in my opinion. Just wondering if it is normal, or just my unit so I can exchange it? Thanks!

Question Button placement

S23U is my first ever Sammy device, and I am decidedly not in love with placement of the volume buttons. Any idea why it is so far up on the right side of the device, forcing me to slide my hand up every time I need to adjust? This could have been avoided if they had placed them below the power button. What am I missing?
Well, if you don't like using it, just return it and look for a phone meeting your expectations?
Edit: the Asus Zenphone 9 could be what you're looking form in term of size factor.
I mostly like the phone, it is just those god damn buttons. Have pressed the power button 5x in the last 3 hours when intending to adjust the volume. was a genuine question trying to understand what the rationale may have been.
you will get used to it in time - changes are always hard at the beginning
The only solution i can give You is to use samsung one hand operation:
One Hand Operation + – Aplikacje w Google Play
Z łatwością korzystaj z urządzenia jedną ręką!
play.google.com
It is must have app for me as you can do everything with gestures. In example you can short swipe up to volume up and swipe down to volume down. You can adjust long swipe with all other phone settings like one hand mode, home, back button etc. I use it for so long time that i can't even operate the phone without it xD
I agree, but there's surely a objective reason for that, pretty sure engineers thought about it .
I hate the placement too coming from oneplus, but Ill get use to it I guess.
You have to get used to it.
It took me a week to learn that the power button is under the volume control (pixel 7 has the power button above)

That is what I was looking for. Thanks so much. Moved the volume control to the left edge which is where it should have been. Today I discovered that their placement interferes with my X-ram phone holder and my DJI drone controller. Truly mystifying decision by Samsung. Ended up just disabling the volume buttons with Button Mapper.
