Am I the only one feeling that the volume keys are a little loose? The function fine but make a sound when I shake the phone. If it's just me I'll probably return it.
+1 Same here
Some here, a little loose. My wife's is the same, also. The power button is much tighter.
OK. Seems like replacing the phone won't help. I'll just get use to it I guess.
Mine doesn't make any sound when I shake the phone. If I were you I'd swap it. Rocket had very slight amount of give but I wouldn't classify it as loose.

Volume and power buttons are all tight and make no sound on mine when I shake the phone.
Hmm, my volume button is loose too. Sounds very cheap/janky... especially when the phone vibrates!
Might try a return.
This bothers me most about the phone. Otherwise, it's an awesome device.

Same for me too. No problems whatsoever.
My rocker is loose. Power button is very snug. I have the black case from t mobile on so I don't care though.
I just did an exchange on my vibrant.. the volume key on the one he brought out was extremely loose.. I made him get me another from the back and it felt nice and tight. I guess some are like that.
I just exchanged mine in-store too and got a unit with a much more solid volume button.

Guys mind you I have extremely stupid OCD about my phones.
So without saying just curious... If you "half press" your volume button does it click? My last Atrix had a very clicky bottom and now this one has an occasional clicky top.

The bottom button of my Atrix is nice and crisp, but the top has a small bit of travel before the button fully clicks. I don't notice it because I have a silicone TPU case on at all times, but I just checked for those half clicks you noticed (I don't have anything like that)
Essentially it's like travel what I'm describing but it's like the button being almost realigned when I press it. It almost clicks back into place. Though visually and physically the button is intact it just "feels" that way.
I also have a nice crisp bottom button. Lol.
Up and down rock solid for me. No play at all. Got this bad boy on release day too.

Nice. It feels almost like a two stage camera button. But it's weird because it only does it once and goes back to normal. It's only when I set my phone back down does it do the click again.
It became apparent when I started using the wake on volume function more. May have already been an "issue" beforehand but I'm trying to force myself to stfu about it.

I AM THE SAME WAY I DONT WANTA HEAR A SQUEAK OUTA MY PHONE LOL
Update.
So I have a Speck Candyshell case which covers the volume rocker. I put a piece of clear tape over my rocker and put the case on. No more click!
All -
Loving the tablet, but wanted to see if anyone else received a unit with a loose or overly sensitive power/screen button? The slightest pressure toggles it while the volume rocker feels solid.
Appreciate it!!!

My power button feels solid along with the volume rocker.
Call Google and get an advanced replacement maybe?

so the overly sensitive power button is a defect? mine is really sensitive too
As is mine. I just assumed it was made that way. With the smart case I have, I never press it, so I don't mind.

Does anyone else's Nexus 4 have a power button that feels "mushy" and doesn't have a pronounced "click" like the volume buttons? It might be the S-Line case that's amplifying the issue but even with the case off, the power button doesn't feel the same as the volume ones. The click is there but it's just not very strong and it feels like something that could be pushed in and stuck there someday...
my N4 feels okay, i usually have the Google bumper on it anyways so most of the time i feeling on the bumper (and its better than the actual power button itself!)
But if ur worry about it being suck you can always RMA it....or theres always the option of volume wake
Cheers!
My power button feels slightly soft... But I don't feel it much since I have a case on.

Yeah, one of my (very few) complaints about this phone is how the power button feels to press. Mine does click when pressed, but sometimes if I press on an edge instead of in the center, it'll click but the screen won't turn on. Hoping for a decent volume wake or PGM-style app to come out for the N4
EDIT: I had the official bumper on mine for a while, and it makes all the buttons feel great, so you might consider picking one up if the button feel really bugs you. I decided that the phone felt too sexy without a bumper

Sexy until an accidental drop occurs
It isn't very shallow coming from a Galaxy Nexus. I thought my power button was shorted out or something when I first got the Nexus 4, because I felt like I wasn't using more force than necessary to turn it on. I got used to it after a while, but I occasionally have to tap the power button multiple times...
I am loving my OPT and the premium feel but I was wondering if anyone else has a somewhat loose power button that rattles a bit. I never notice it since I have it in a case. But coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 6. The power button on those is super solid.
Just curious if i got a bum one or there all like that.
Nope you are not the only one.
There are many check on oneplus forums.
Mine power button is a little bit loose almost ignoreable but the volume rocker is a bit loose.
I can move them with finger.
Op quality checks aren't upto the mark it seems.
Both power button and volume button can move around quite a bit for me, appears loose, but as long as they dont fall...
Mine are solid
Mine are lose too. Checked in OP service center in Mumbai and found there are no spare parts at all. it sucks.
I am in discussion with their customer support for the solution. I want this lose buttons problem resolved anyhow, it wont sustain for long.
My OPT volume button is loose also, it moves up and down by a half millimetre.
Kinda tarnishes the premium feel of it.
Is it just me or does your Bixby key feel rather loose? It's not worse than what I've seen on other phones, but it's noticeably less tight than the power and volume keys

My Bixby key feels loose too
Sweet maybe you can pull it out and throw it in the trash!!! You guys are so lucky!!! ??
Mine feels exactly the same as others. Either remap it or don't use it, don't see a problem.

The problem here is that Samsung has sold us an inferior product.

Yeah, I don't think that's normal. My Bixby button feels like any of the other buttons; high quality and firm.

No wiggle at all? As solid as perhaps, the volume rocker when you try to wiggle it?
Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Yeah they all wiggle a bit. Nothing special about it.
It's so unnoticeable that I can only feel it with my finger, but I barely can see the movement when looking at it.
Like... 1/10 of a milimeter...
I can confirm that the Bixby button "rattles" more than the power and volume buttons. It also doesn't help by the fact that those buttons are so thin in width compared to other phones.
mines wiggles a little bit too. both bixby and power buttons. but my volume buttons are firm.. the two buttons actually has a moving or ticking sound to it when i try to move it a little..

My power and Bixby wobble and wiggle alot... We have 2 S8 plus in our house my buttons feel really loose but the other has only the Bixby button loose... Did this effect your use of the phone? Or did you exchange? I'm usually OCD about new phones that's why I'm being picky about the wiggle... My power button gets pressed hundreds of times a week and want it to last

Nope. I tried out a bunch of other S8s, all had the same small amount of wiggle, so I figured that it was basically futile to find one that was perfectly solid.

Hey thanks for replying.... Just paranoid I guess... Cause my S7edge didn't wiggle like this one... But power button and Bixby wiggle about the same... If they didn't wiggle they would probably get stuck when pushed I guess......
