[Q] volume and function buttons freaking out - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My volume button just goes up and down on its own and my function buttons just keep acting like I've pressed them but haven't even touched the phone ?

Do the blow thing or clean em up.
And don't push em to hard, treat the little guy like a little girl.

[Q] power button broken

is there anyway to reasign power button to make maybe the home screen button to wake device???
Since the homescreen button is capacitive, I don't think it will work when the screen is off.
Send it back, not worth the trouble imo.

Well I guess ill send back but from what ive been reading around here the power button has a few problems anyways with sinking in and just being cheap

My button just sunk in last night after a few months of use. Got mine on release day and it just now stopped working.
Is there ANY way to power it on via ADB so I can pull a Nandroid backup?
Going to the VZW store today to see if they will replace it for me... I pray they do. I've got a few scuffs on the thing so they better not act like I dropped it. :|
you could always open up the TB and remove the plastic button, then just use a paperclip to turn it on and off.
sounds silly, but hey.. it'd work

Titan II Thread? Have questions.. Help!

So I just got the HTC titan II. I love it. Just have a few questions. One is, is the power button on any other a little recessed or down low? I noticed in order to push it and unlock it, I pretty much have to use my fingernail. Not a big deal just annoying. It just doesn't have a good feel when pushing it. Also are the capacitive buttons dimly lit to you.? I'm coming from an android phone. So might have different expectations. Thanks for the help. What's the easiest way to cancel applications? The guy at att store said I have to keep constantly hitting the back button fast. Just seems like there should be an easier way.

Anybody? Just some quick insight.. I would greatly appreciate it.

I do not have any problem with power button. However yes the capacitive button light is bit dim for me. And to cancel(close) the app you have to us back button but if you no mind suspending it the use window button to go to home screen and the current app will be suspended.

Galaxy S3 Home button clicking sound

Hello Guys,
I am having the weird issue of the home button making a clicking noise whenever its pressed at the middle of the button, if pressed at the edges it does not make any sound. The button as such look and feel sturdy.
Is this normal or is it a defect and can be replaced in warranty?
Also the sound can only be heard in a relatively quite room..
Kindly move it if it is not the appropriate thread in this section
Home button does clicking sound on every s3 i quess, so i think it's normal.
Thanks for that jnr21, However i was asking this because, some of my friends reported they do not have any sound coming while pressing the home button though i have not verified it first hand from their device.
I have a clicking sound when pressing the middle hard enough. If i press it on the side and dont use very much force, it still registers as a press, but the button itself doesn't make the click sound. I think its pretty normal considering the construction of the button
Exactly the same thing i am also facing However i have also read elsewhere that for some people it does not make any clicking sound and the device can be replaced in such a case. Any idea about this?
I get this as well always thought utilities was normal, not causing any problems so there's no problems for me

This clicking is news to me. I don't hear any clicking from my S3.
There are reports of rattling too from near the top of the phone. I don't hear any rattles either though.
I think I prefer a non-clicking and non-rattling S3, although some other peeps prefer some clicks and rattles.
I dont have a clicking sound, but a do get a click feel when pushing the button.
The first to days I didnt get any click at all and I wasnt sure when the button was actually pressed.
Evey time I would push the button it would squish down. I was sure that the reason was that the button was too "new" and that it needed to be "broken in". I gave it a few days of use and now the button works perfectly. I get the clicking feeling but no sound.

My first S2 had that issue. Well wouldn't call it an issue, more of an irritant.
The following S2s I've owned after that didn't have the clicking sound. As long as the button works and doesn't get stuck I wouldn't call it a defect.
Well did ur first s2's button went bad after some use?
It's just that I wud have more peace of mind if it dint make any sound....

My home button works wonderfully. Its flush with the phone. Like someone else said, if pressed soft it doesn't make a clicking sound, but if pressed quickly, it will. I don't think every GSIII has exactly the same home button. I also don't think its worth it to return one because it clicks. I mean if its not working thats another story. When mine does make a clicking sound, its noticeable, yet 100% in working order as it should.

Power button issue

For those who think there power button is broken because they push the button a ton of times..
Its not broken!! Its just a delay push it once and wait it will turn on it takes about 5 secs my brothers take 10 secs..
If it doesn't turn after a minute make sure your cover button is actually hitting the soft phone button, after you do all that then yes there's a problem with your hardware

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my screen didn't immediately turn on when I hit the power button I'd consider it not working properly and warranty it.

I come from the 1st mytouch 3g platform.
For us this was normal, as some devs delayed the power process on purpose for roms on gb,
I could be wrong but I know that when my phone was stock it booted quick after I went with ics and s-off my boot was delayed it varies from rom to rom for me.

Coming from a Moto Cliq my Amaze turns on fast. But that's just comparing Grapefruits and Oranges (I dare not say apple)

True but I'm just saying that I think its normal, to have a bit of a delay now if the phone literally does nothing at all after a few seconds then that's a problem

Speed rom 7.8 doesn't have this lag, it shouldn't have it anyways

I had this problem but fixed it with a piece of tape (black electrical tape) over the power button inside the case.
I got a new cover under warranty...didn't fix the issue,
Got a new battery which didn't fix the issue but it did fix the reboots and shutdowns.
Changed back to energy. ( don't know if this did it)
I know the button does work inside the case but I felt like taking a hammer to the button.
What happened is the plastic cover over the button gotten thin over the time by pressing the button so many times.
Now it works flawlessly. Well i guess the until the tape or the plastic cover thins more.
Now i'm loving my Amaze once again and won't be selling it for half the price anytime soon
I use volume buttons to wake phone turns on instantly with power button just have to press it kind of hard but with volume buttons not the case
I'm talking about like if your phone is turned off.. and you hit the power button to turn it back on it lags,

Keys on the back

Love it !! :good:
I think they are brilliant, never in the way when using phone, perfect position when needed. I would like a shutter button though, or at least they move the buttons closer to top of screen in camera app. When doing video, the stop button is hard to reach.

Yea I like them also, I never realized how much I hit the side buttons on accident while holding our picking my phone up and changing the volume or power button.

I know, and it works perfect for duckface, but I prefer landscape photos.
Oh I use the voice capture for landscape pics

I really notice them (or don't) when I'm holding the phone landscape watching a video. I LOVE not accidentally hitting the power or volume buttons! Rear buttons FTW!
Yes best thing since sliced bread ?

its bliss, also like it my wife doesnt accidentally hit another button when showing stuff.
I like silencing a call when without removing the phone from my pocket; with the phone face down. So easy to do with the buttons on the back.

Surprizingly useful. My wife, or others not familiar with whatever android I had always turned the phone off when I passed it around to show something with buttons on the side.
Love the keys on the back as well! Took me a few days, but it's second nature now.
