I've noticed that on my NS, I don't have to actually touch the screen to tap keys. I can keep my finger slightly hovering over the glass and it still recognizes my input. Sometimes it actually causes me to mistype at a higher rate than other phones.
Are you guys seeing this too?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's experienced this....I thought I was going crazy. It's sporadic at best, but when it happens it is annoying. I can't say for sure what causes it, but I'd love to hear other people's opinions.
I've been getting this as well.
same here. Guess they have the capacitance set a bit too high.....
yup, me too. infact. my home button gets phatom long pressed and the light is off on it...have to power it off/ turn the screen off and on muliple times. that insanity has occured about 4 times thought.
Thanks for the replies. I went back into Best Buy and tried their demo phone. So either it's supposed to be this way or they messed up a whole batch of phones. I wish I could remember whether the vibrant did this or not, but it's not standing out.
Sometimes touchscreen nonresponsive too. This is not relating to partial outer border touching either.

I believe Engadget did mention did this during their review @ http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/.
Their exact quote: "One other thing of note -- we noticed a few missed or latent presses on the touchscreen which occasionally led to stuttery behavior or an opened item that we didn't mean to tap. It's hard to say if this was a software or hardware issue (and we know that sometimes Android devices can be particularly finicky when syncing). It wasn't a deal-breaker by any means, but we saw the issue rear its head a handful of times, and felt it was worth mentioning."
it's nothing ,, the Samsung galaxy S does that too D:
that happens due to the static on your finger.
Hi
I opened a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879872) because I definitely have a problem on the back capacitive button, just wondering how many people are affected?
In fact I have seen this in four devices now, it looks that there is a batch of defective Nexus S phones out there affected by this problem?
It's normal. My Nexus One is like that too. It's magic.
So, it is normal to have un-responsive back button after some times?
Damn ... this is bad. I hope I can cope with it. I really hate hardware problem.
And still could not understand why Google cannot fix it.
Last time from HTC ...
And now from Samsung ...
*Still waiting Nexus S from UK*

There's a thread for the back button, that's a real issue. Some people have the Back button issue, some the Home button issue. Both of those buttons are on the outer edge of the phone, so something may be messed up when the phone was being assembled.
Hey guys,
Recently got my Nexus 7. I tried turning it on when it came out of the box but it didn't.
So I though I'd charge it for a while. When I plug it in a battery icon pops up for about ten seconds and then the screen goes black again.
I can't turn it on at all. Tried holding the power button for a long time but that didn't work either.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out rather quickly because I'm on holiday in the US so I've got limited time left to swap it, if nothing else helps.

did you leave it on the charger for several hours? the battery could have been dead.

When I took it out of the box the battery was about half full (according to the charging animation). Now it appears to be full. Left it charging for about 2 hours.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
try holding the power button down and the volume down button. see if itll boot into the bootloader. if it does, select start in the bootloader then press the power button to select. maybe itll boot that way.

Not working either. The only thing I've managed to see on my display is the charging animation so far.
Feels like such a disappointment.
have you tried holding down the power button longer than you would expect to hold it down? like 1-2 minutes.

Just held it for 3 straight minutes. Nothing. At one point I thought I saw something on the screen but it was a reflection. Haha.
This doesn't look good does it?

I had a similar issue after a couple months of use with mine. The screen just turned black while I was playing a game and it wouldn't respond to anything. At first I thought it had shorted out or something, and I was considering returning it, but after about an hour of leaving it alone on the charger, it started working again like magic. My friend had the same exact issue. Idk maybe this helps....

Thanks, I'll just leave it charging for the night. I'll see tomorrow. Hopefully this works!
Or do you think I should return it anyways as there might be more to it?

you should probably exchange is well you still have a chance. better to be safe than sorry.
If you're feeling froggy, you could check to see if the battery is plugged in. Asus seems to have a QC problem when it comes to connecting the N7 battery.

I swapped it, have got a perfectly working little nexus 7 now!
Thanks for all your help.
My home button cracks when I press it, I think it has some dirt inside but I don't know and I can't remember if it's like that since the first day or not. Is that happening to you?
Thanks

Quality on Samsung devices is terrible.
Dropped mine from 30cm and now the home button feels fidgety.
Please see this thread.
Has anyone had their power button acting up? Mine needs to be pressed in real hard to get it to respond

No I never faced such issue..
This is common in 303K and 305K version phones.. Just chill not a big issue.
If you are rooted you can use smart screen on to wake/off the device with a tap/slide.

I have gone through that particular thread before. Although I have always used LMT to lock, and turn the screen off, but I am not very comfortable with apps like s2w. Anyway, I am thinking more along the lines of a hardware fix. Has anyone gotten theirs done?

Huh, since when is a non functioning power button 'not a big issue'?
Don't tell me this is the nexus one thing all over again :/

Unfortunately, it is not a high quality switch. But it is easily replaceable.
I came from a Pixel 3xl. This is my first Samsung device. Is anyone else taking inadvertent screen shots all the time? I am do to where the power button is located vs the vol down button.
You have many alternatives dude
You can enable screenshot gesture
You can use application one hand operation+ by Samsung and assign taking a screen shoot with certain gesture
Also you can assign screen off with certain gesture to avoid using the power button

The guy originally complained that he was taking accidental screen shots, and saying its maybe because the power button is too high up and aligned with the volume key. I don't understand how giving him alternative methods to obtain a screenshot solves hes problem [emoji848]

This whole thread is hella stupid. You knew where the power button was before you ever bought the phone. People complain about the dumbest s h i t.....
The button is indeed too high and if you try to press it while the phone is on a desk there's a high chance you will press the volume up button and screenshot your lock screen, annoying issue that shouldn't exist in the next models.

Would you buy a product and silently accept its inconvenience , not buy it because of its silly problems, or just share the complaint hoping it serves a purpose?
Without the third option there won't be an improvement, this kind of drama about minor inconveniences is useful to raise awareness and hope for changes or solutions(like remapping screenshots), there's a ton of hella stupid threads here but this is not one of them.

I literally have no issue at all, with where the power button is. Maybe because I have big hands. But if I did have a problem with it, chances are I wouldn't have bought it myself. But even if I did have an issue with it and bought it, it's pointless to complain about it because it's a problem that can't be fixed. True, Samsung might listen in consideration for the next model, but then again maybe not, because not everybody using this phone has lil baby hands either. So in essence, complaining about the power button placement, ESPECIALLY since you knew where the buttons were before you bought it is just whining, nothing more. It's not a "problem" people didn't know about before buying it like the VOIP bugs that were fixed in the recent update.

The bigger your hands are the harder it is for you to avoid the volume buttons when taking a pressure point to press the power button, it's not about having baby hands.

No dude... Just... No. Like I said I have big hands and literally have no problems with ANY of the phone buttons. I've never accidentally taken a screenshot pressing the power button. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Especially since in my opinion this power button placement "problem" isn't even a problem, and it's one that won't ever be resolved (for this model).
The guy wasn't even complaining, he was asking if anyone else was having the problem of taking accidental screen shots. And it's not something your going to think of until you buy the phone and then it starts happening. Your input about the thread being "dumb" got even "dumber" once you replied.

The name of the thread is literally "Power button too high"....but he wasn't complaining, really...
Anyway, I won't hijack the thread anymore with my complaint, about everyone else's power button complaints. You guys can have this one and I'll gladly bow out since really there is nothing to offer to it anyway.
