Nexus 4 Power Button - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I received my Nexus 4 yesterday, but I see that the power button doesn't always respond to my touch. Sometimes, I have to press it the second or third time to make the phone lock/unlock. I understand that 'how much pressure to apply' is a completely subjective thing, but has any one of you noticed this slight issue with your device?

I've seen other people talking about this, I'm not sure if they have figured anything out.
My theory is it's actually lock screen lag that was introduced with 4.2.1. My Nexus 7 sometimes takes numerous pushes. Have only seen it a couple times on the N4, but it is there

it always happened to me because i was 'holding it wrong'.
seriously.. i think it has a sweet spot. remember how cheap this phone is. i havent had an issue with it since i stuck the bumper on. it is immediate every time i hit the button.

Thanks! The issue has started bugging me a lot now. Cos I always hold the phone in a particular way, and sometimes I keep pushing tens of times and it doesn't come on. I have to deliberately and consciously apply a higher amount of force to make it 'click' and 'turn on'. All the other previous clicks do not seem to do anything. Just wondering if I should send it back, or just buy a bumper. If at the beginning it is like this, I guess after a few months of use it would need even greater force.

install a custom rom and use volume unlock

This has always been a questionable design on Nexus devices. "Here we have a button that is undoubtedly going to be used thousands of times, so let's make it small, and not very positive" .
The button on the Nexus 1 was a joke, S and Galaxy were better because it would have been hard to make them worse. Like its predecessors, the design on the 4 can make it more difficult than it should be to make solid contact on the micro switch that is underneath as the button floats above it.
Unfortunately, like so many other things, I miss the extremely positive button that has always been on iThingies. Do they have a patent on that or what?
If you're having issues when clearly pressing the button straight on, without any angular force, I'd send it back.

i tend to agree. it almost sounds like you are pressing the button in harder and harder. even more so as it pisses you off. so what was fixable with a case probably isnt anymore. rma it and be careful with the next one.
me personally... i think they should have designed the button to be a touch lower. when i hold my phone as normal it rests on the inside of my pinky. when my thumb curls in to push the button in... i am at the very bottom edge or off of the button completely. if i hold it and dont support the bottom everything is fine. and why would i ever want to hold my lifeline to the outside world that way. it is a definite design flaw.

Is there no other way to making screen activation happen through volume control apart from rooting? My nexus one power button is gone and up till now i have not been able to root it because the power button is required to boot into recovery. I don't want this to happen to my new nexus 4

you can try touch control. Needs to be rooted as well and might experience some minor battery drain.

Giving this a try, hope battery drain is better than TC. Proximity sensor wake up working great.

i think im having this problem too.like you said,it has a sweet spot for it to respond.
i have to really press it at the middle,no slightly upper or lower part of the button.not sure if it's manufacturing defect or what,but it bugged me sometimes

Same problem i am facing now
Being the only physical button for power, lock and screenshots the button has become more unresponsive to gentle presses and now requires a great pressure to activate it. Is there any way to fix it before it's too late?

Touch screen w/o touching?

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 ...

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.

Capacitive buttons not responding when phone not held in hand?

Anyone has this problem? For example if I lay the phone down on my bed, I won't be able to hit the back button. The entire touchscreen responds done though...
Anyone?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yep.............
"You're holding it wrong."
That sounds very strange.
Well, I'd hate to say it, but are you "pressing them wrong"?
What I mean is, we all know the buttons are a little tricky, how the touch sensitive part is near the top of the button. Could it be you've trained yourself to easily press them the correct way while holding, but when it is lying down you end up pressing it lower? Due to the angle of your finger when you touch it?
I've never had any trouble when the phone was laying down, and just tried it out again right now. I do have to touch them in the exact same spot (shifted a bit higher) as when holding it.
When I first got my N1 I noticed the same. Just hit it a bit higher
Sent from my Nexus One
Yea I tried out suggestions by you guys, hitting higher did help!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Odd, I always had this problem, never considered it much of a problem. Mainly cause I hold it 99% of the time, but I did find that if I touch it lower, as in touch the bezel at the same time as I touch the button, no problem.

This! I thought the same thing as the OP when i first got mine, but you get used to it.
I've also experienced this... but as the others would say just hit higher or you'll get used to it.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Having vibrate on for button press helps a lot because of the issue with having to hit the buttons higher.
It does get a little annoying but small price for such a good phone really I'm loving it regardless. It does seem like a strange thing though I've not come across it on some of the other android phones I've had before.
Had never happened for me. Its the same if i hold it in hand or not.

Home button making a cracking sound

I am afraid the home button on my SGS4 is somehow defective. It still functions properly, but it is making all kind of cracking sounds. It almost feels loose. I checked on a SGS3 and a Note 2 and none of the home buttons were exhibiting the same behaviour.
So my question to you guys is, does your home button feel solid or is there and cracking with light touch?
Please take a look at the video I made.

On mine, i can hear and feel a slight crackling noise with light touch without pressing the key all the way down. The button feels solid, tight and works just fine AFTER the initial press, but it bothers me that it does that. The shop people wouldn't consider this as a defect since it's so minor, but minor enough to annoy a fussy tech person like me.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Nice and solid on mine. No noises what so ever.

Has it gotten worse or better since then? I wonder if it will go away after a few months of button mashing?
Just wondering (it might be stupid from my side, still...) did you remove plastic protective foil from the button. Usually it gets stucked on the button and it is hard to spot...
I switched my I9500 for a new one and the home button is now perfect with no cracking noises.

Yeah, I got this problem as well! Mine is not loose just like yours, but if you press softly on the button you can feel it move before the key activates.
Then, when you put the phone away, the problem returns after 10 mins of not being used. As if the plastic material "expands" and gets jammed. It really annoys me, because the phone was very expensive for me 800USD here in Denmark! And i expect a perfect phone for that kind of money!
Have anybody got a solution to this?
I am not willing to return the phone because they are only going to send it to get repaired, and I can feel it in my gut that I will get a phone back with more errors than before lol.
And how have it developed since? Gotten worse or better?

Too early to tell. It's really irritating though. I resulted in downloading a software home button to use instead (to prevent it from getting any more worse). Swipe Pad and Pie Control are both good at simulating the hardware home button - no root is required either.
i just noticed a slight cracking noise on my home button as well. It is more apparent if you press towards the edges of the button, and kind of seems like a 2-stage click. annoying

Thanks for the information! I like Pie Control best of the two!
Although, the problem wont solve itself by avoiding the button, so i think i will press it even more, just to see if the problem persists, gets worse or fixes itself. In my experience the button has gotten worse over the past few days. The shop wont take the phone back because they label it as "self fault" (dont know the english term), they think I am the problem and have not taken care of my phone. This is ridiculous! I have now sent at mail to Samsung Denmark to see if they can help me!

My home button does the same thing. Although I think it started after I tripped and dropped it at the top of a staircase and it bounced off every stair all the way down *facepalm*

Power button is wonky too.
I'm really unimpressed by the overall build quality of this phone - especially for its price.
Oh well. "First World Problems"
My home button feels absolutely fine, on the other hand, my power button feels sticky and spongey when I press it, still works fine though.
Nothing like my Galaxy Note 2 which clicks when pressed.
Mine started "clicking" few days ago. It drives me mental when trying to navigate through at night.

Sunk in home button, normal?

Picked up my 32 GS4 yesterday and now I am noticing that the home button is sunk in. It's completely flush with the screen. Doesn't stick out at all. It works completely fine, but makes a really audible clicking noise. Obviously Samsung doesn't manufacture these all the same. I am worried if it will get worse in time. A google search brought many results with the GS3's home button. Apparently some think its normal, some don't. I am really fussy when it comes to QC on flagship phones.
Just wondering if anyone else has a sunk in home button?
its normal.
I don't have one yet, but I just wanted to say that I really wish they would have used a capacitive button instead. I work construction, and dust/sand etc. destroys the physical buttons. Also will miss the search button that I have on gs2 I like pressing and holding it for voice search

Yeah. I have noticed a couple Note 2's home buttons being flat, while others were slightly raised. I don't know if its considered not normal, as it functions just fine.
I do not like the loud audible click the button makes. I might try to swap it towards the end of my 14 days.
EDIT: Ok, looking at it really closely, its not completely flat. Maybe a tad lower than the other phones. I don't know, I would hate to return a phone because I'm too OCD.
Mine is slightly raised. Does it function properly? Have good tactile feedback? If so, I would say it's all good.

The home button functions perfectly fine. Since it doesn't stick out, the tactile feedback isn't that great. May take it to AT&T this week. Haven't decided. I am actually more concerned about my power button. Seems very hard to push and mushy, like its not sticking out as much as it should.
My home button is just BARELY above the rest of the phone, but it feels very responsive and a bit 'clicky'. While it's not raised so much, it at least feels really solid.
However my unlock button seems like it's really sunken in and almost hard to press at times, does anyone else have one like that as well?

Thank god, at least I'm not the only one. This is my second s4, I just brought back my first one from HUGE battery issues. Would lose 15-20% while idle while I was asleep.
Already noticed a huge difference with my new one, except now I've noticed the mushed in unlock button. It's functional, it just feels like it has the possibility of eventually getting stuck somehow...Maybe I'm just being overly attentive and sensitive with the new one.

Neither would mine. Best Buy MIGHT, but it's not very nice to make them keep opening boxes of new products. Not sure if they can still sell them as such afterward.
The unlock button does seem more sunken than it should be. Might swing by the ATT store in a day or two just to check out their display...If it's that bad, i'll bring it back to best buy and see if they're willing to do another exchange . I only have 4 days left on my 15 day window unfortunately.

I keep accidentally pressing the power and volume buttons

It's like this phone was made for lefties. These buttons are poorly placed and really sensitive, and I keep activating them, especially when i pick the phone up. I had a Speigen tough armor case on my note 4 which flattened out the buttons, and made them less sensitive to press (you'd have to really press them to activate them, on the 6p they activate the moment you touch them).
Does anyone know of a similar case like the one I mentioned for the 6P? this is my only issue, otherwise i love the phone, but it's a very big issue, and I'm considering a Note5, or holding out for the Note 6 if I cant resolve it.
Thanks guys!

You can use any case and simply make sure to shorten the button parts on the inside of the case. This will decrease the sensitivity.

Just got the first case, it's the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper , and it completely solves this issue. You have to really press the buttons to activate them, otherwise it is nearly impossible to accidentally do so. I'm completely satisfied, I doubt I'll find a case which better resolves this issue, although I have a few more on the way , so I'll report back on them when they arrive.
The only minor downside to this case, is it has no back, which I normally wouldn't mind at all, except that the 6p has a very slippery back, , and my fingers slide a bit on it if I'm not holding the edges really well. Mostly this is a non issue since I almost always only hold the edges, but i do need to be a bit more careful when using the phone one handed.
I'm really impressed, and I'm never impressed.

Just got two more cases, the Google Nexus 6p case, and the Adopted protected case. They are both very similar, and great cases. Both also resolve the button sensitivity issue. Great fit on both, they both are slightly tacky on the sides as well. The only real difference is the Google case has some kind of weird industrial carpet type of material on the back, and the Adopted case is plain rubber/plastic. I like the Google one slightly better. I'm also waiting on a back protector for the Rhino bumper, which is also a great option.
