Power and Volume buttons - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just want to make sure it's not just mine...
Does the volume rocker buttons have more of a "click" to them than the power button for anyone else?

I notice a slight difference, but nothing that major.

Mine feel the same

I never noticed it before but ya, mines the same. My power button doesn't click at all but the volume buttons both do. I don't really care either was about the clicking etc, so I'll assume its gonna last forever

It takes getting used to, but I've come to like it. If you have your phone on your desk for instance, you can just press the home button to see your notifications or the time, instead of having to hold the phone while pressing the power button. It also makes it easier to not accidentally press it when using the phone.

For me it's the opposite. My power button makes more of a click sound than my volume buttons.

I have a galaxy nexus but my volume button is way more clicky than my power button. This never really bothered me and makes sense in a way considering one is a two part button and the other is a one part button. A volume rocker should be clicky anyways so you know you pushed it.

[Q] Clicky Home button - Faulty?

Hi guys,
I have Clicky Home button - is it faulty?
By clickly I mean, it makes a unnatural sound when pressed, almost as if it sticking. The noise is noisy and not silent
The reason I have noticed this is because my brother has just had his delivered and its perfect on his. Do I have a faulty phone?
Your click is faulty. Nothing more I think it'd go away after pressing the button frequently.

I've had the phone for around 3 months, I doubt it will go away
Did you find solution? Could you replace your phone?
Hope you did!
Had my phone since they 1st came out and dont have any issues with the home button.
Has not changed at all. No loosening or strange clicking. I rarely use the power button but instead use the home button to turn on so it gets a good workout.

Mine is not like is loose, but is not as "firm" as the volumen rocker and the power buttom.
How about yours? Can you "shake" you finger over the Home and the button moves?
I'd say my home button is as snug a fit as the power and volume buttons but more sensitive to being pressed.

Volume button

Volume up just dosen't feel right to me, when I push the volume down I can feel it working, when I push the volume up I cant feel anything, but volume go's up. I thought that when I first got my Note both buttons felt the same. Anyone else having an issue with the volume button?
Is it like your not feeling the click when you hit the up volume or just feels like mushi? Lol maybe you got something wet inside and it was sticky?

Yes it feels like it dosen't push in at all, i have to push it harder than normal to get it to work.

Anyone else notice that the lockup/need to battery pull "issue" was addressed? It says if it locks up and touch screen is unresponsive, hold power button for 10 seconds to reset. Good ta know..
I didn't like, however, whether it clarified the 2step function of the camera button, nor whether it could wake the device up straight to camera or even if you could launch it from the lock screen via shutter button..hrmmm, guess I'll hafta find out next Friday

Build quality of Power and Back Button

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
First
Is the power Button on your devices jiggling to? Mine seems to have one contact point in the middle but both ends (top & bottom) can be pressed down a little bit without actually pressing the button. You can feel this very good with going up and down over the key with a little preassure...
Second
There are two capacitive buttons on the device as you know: the options and the back button. I dont know if its made by design but my back button isnt as responsive as the option one. Sometimes it misses presses. Especially if i press really soft. The option button is catching all actions no matter if hard or soft. This happens mostly when backlight of the back button is off.
Could you please check this on your units.
I love this phone but these both little things drive me crazy.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah my power button's the same so only time will tell if it's badly designed, and both capacitive buttons feel about the same, and if anything I find the screen a bit too sensitive.
Do you mean the home button or the power button on the top right side of the unit?

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.
