Loose Volume Button - Galaxy S I9000 General

My i9000 is an early model so its pretty old. The volume button rattles and is loose. If I touch it, it rattles or the cover of the actual button moves. If I shake my phone or move it or if it vibrates I hear the rattle of the button. Is it normal? Is it anything to worry about ? Sorry if its a stupid question

HELP!!! wildfire rattleing

Hi,
For some reason whenever the vibrator on my wildfire does anything it sometomes makes a ratteling noise. What can I do to stop it ratteling?

same.
That will be the Volume rocker or the power/lock button, but probably the Volume rocker. There is a little bit of give in the handset which I have been told is normal.

Creaky Button?

Hey there, ive had my arc for about 2-3 days now, love it so far everything works perfect but today i noticed that my menu button has a creak to it sometimes when i press it a certain way ( say a little bit off the centre of the button)
..is this normal?..does anybody else have a similar problem with the same if not a diff button?..
I don't have the creaky button but i do have the battery cover creak. Maybe it's because it's brand new when the button will be more used they'll stop creak...

i hope so, since i just noticed it today a couple hours ago.. very annoying.
not 100% sure, but mine does creak when I press it off centre.. however I think the noise is the sound of my thumb 'sliding' along the button?

Mine did the same, but it stopped a week ago and haven't done it since.

"poor" home button

i dont know if it's just my mobile but i dont like so much my home buton.
When i holding him it can be move left-right-1-2mm.
I's not compact like iphone,altough i dont like apple crap.
This mobile i so perfect,but this home button annoys me.
Also the sound when i click it...
It looks so cheap...what do u folks thing?
I don't like the button and doubt how long it will work properly ! The button should have been made with more solid hardware as it's the only button you have on GSII.

sure i agree with you.IT LOOK'S SO SO CHEAP.
let's hear other opinions?
It's damn cheap. I hate the sound. Sometimes I click it once and it sounds as if I clicked twice. Hate it.

Maybe there are some quality control issues with the button. Mine is rock solid. It barely wiggles, and makes a satisfying click sound. WAY better than the home button I had on my iPhone 4.
Now I've got rid of Touchwiz, that home button is the only fly in the ointment. The capacitive one on my DHD was so much nicer. Hopefully Samsung won't feel the need to continue copying this pointless feature of the iphone on any future phones.
I miss track ball with colors notification from nexus one... it was awesome!

I tried mine and it moves but nowhere close to 1 or 2 mm.. I checked with my ruler and it only moves .5mm .. For me the clicking sound is not that loud and annoying..

Mine doesn't move at all. When presses in its makes a faint click and a duller faint click when released.
Mine wiggles too but I don't think it will break easily. Sammy qc is not so bad compared to other companies. should be ok. I hope^^

Mine wiggles a bit but not like yours. Or maybe you're forcing it to wiggle? If I just press like normal it doesn't move or wiggle.

My button's sideways shift is immeasurably small.. I'd guess 0.2 at the very most, only just enough to allow room for not pressing the centre... the click is a nice muted reassurance of interaction.
I didn't know it before... but I love my home button. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Mine worked properly for about a month, then started to wiggle and sound as if I press it twice. It almost sounds like pressing a camera shutter, half press to focus and full press to take the shot.

Ditto! It worked fine but now after 2 months I feel as if I am clicking it twice just like camera button. Man, you're so right.!

I kind of like the feel and look of it actually. Now I've only had my phone for a week, but it doesn't move or anything like that for me!
I've always preferred hardware buttons too, especially for the home button. Playing around with my friend's Nexus S was horrid because of those buttons, same goes for another friend's Incredible S.
I'm hoping it lasts past this 2 month mark though, you guys are scaring me now.
i rarely used the home button of my gs2 (sometimes not at all)...i installed button savior in replace...Ü

Wiggly volume button?

I'm experiencing a slight rattle when I shake my phone. The sound is coming from the volume buttons. Is this normal? Anyone else having the same thing? The volume button seems slightly loose.

This happens on my AT&T GS3 (SGH-i747) as well.
happens to my phone also(doesn't make noise tough just wiggles), not going to return it. also if you get a case that covers the phone you (probably) won't notice it in the future
for me its not the volume but power button, it wiggles but doesnt make noise

Can you guys test your volume button for me?

Hello everyone,
Today I notice something very strange about the volume button. When I press on it, it just seem to be not fixed on its slot. It is not very tight, it is like the metalic button will fall out because I and move it from left to right horizontaly.
Can you test yours so that I can confirm that everyone phone has the same or it is a build quality of the mine.
Thank you for your help.
I'm not having that issue. My volume button seems just in place and tight enough

No problem here, we have two S4's one White and one Black. Both have nice sturdy volume buttons. Only the White one has a slight loose power button. But all is working without a problem.
