Anyone else have a Galaxy S4 with a power button that feels really soft when pressed? My volume and home buttons both have a satisfying click while my power button just feels weak and pressing anywhere other than the center of the button feels like I'm not pressing anything at all. I tried my friend's phone out and it isn't like that for him.
If you have a case on it an awkward position of the press might make you think like that. That was my case anyway

The first thing I did was take it out of my case to test it out. Why wouldn't I?

i just bought a used Droid incredible and i have had it for about 3 days and i have noticed something about the power button at the top. the power button doesnt "click" when pushed down like the volume buttons do at the side, it just goes down. its kind of annoying is there a way to fix it or something? are of them like this or is it just mine? if you have a droid incredible can you tell me if the power button clicks like the volume buttons do when you press it or does it stick like mine?
The power button does feel like the clicks in the volume buttons.
whenever my phone comes in contact with a lot of sand, the power button gets mushy like that. yes its supposed to click like the volume buttons. try cleaning it out and see if it helps
what do i do to clean it out? also is there a way i cant just remove the 4 screws on the back open up my phone and clean the power button from there? i think that would be easier because i can make sure there is nothing stuck down there. but the only problem is the VOID warranty sticket is on one of the screws and i dont want my warrenty to be voided because i just bought this phone.
so does anyone know how i should remove that sticker and put it back on the phone without ruining it?
You can use an exacto knife to peel it off, the topic is in here somewhere

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, my volume buttons seem incredibly unresponsive and hard to press, especially the volume down button. Anyone else notice this? I'm wondering if it's a consistent hardware issue or if it's worthwhile to try and do an exchange.
Do you mean that the button would not depress, or that you can press the button but the phone does not register the press? If the latter then you must have a defective unit since I can get presses to register every time. I came from a Galaxy Nexus too and while the volume buttons on the N4 have more resistance I don't think they are that hard to press.

The button depresses, but barely, and I have to press pretty hard. It doesn't have the same "click" feedback as most phones -- it just feels like I'm mashing it. I'm guessing it's just my phone since I haven't read anything else about it. Hooray for quality control
Edit: on the plus side, in case anyone else is in the same situation, I just called Google and the replacement process seems pretty painless.
Sorry for bumping a relatively old thread. I'm in the same situation with one of my two N4s. In comparison, the volume buttons on one of the phones are really hard to press. I've called Google three days in a row and they said they would email me the instructions for replacement, but I still haven't received anything from them. I was wondering how long did the exchange process take for you?
I have a i9505, am I the only one noticing the power button is harder to push and feels weak and deeper inside than the volume buttons?
Also, my +volume is easier to press than my -volume, is that normal?

And you are talking about a phone in a case, maybe its just the case not setting well mate try removing it and inserting the phone again sometimes the edges miss the button area a little and it starts giving hard life.

Sadly without a case, I find it hard to press the power button. The volume buttons are fine, just the difference between them was a little irritating. I guess I should take it back...

My power button make some noise (sometime), like if there is something stuck behind (dirt). I also have this with my home button and it irritates me like ****. I didn't had this with my S3 wich i used for over a year!
this has been reported a lot of times
the button does feel weak but it is fine

I also had the same problem. I don't know whether it was originally like that or it was defects
Is the power button on the Droid RAZR M supposed to be loose and wiggle a little bit? Mine is somewhat loose, but still clicks fine. Can someone confirm this and/or let me know how your power button is. Thanks!!
Mine wiggles a bit. I can push it down just about all the way flush with the body without triggering the button. I can also push only one side of the button down flush without triggering the button either. Compared with my volume button which has almost no give/motion to it, the power button is very loose on mine.

My power button isn't quite as firmly seated as the volume rockers. I wouldn't go so far as to call it loose, and it doesn't sit flush with the case. Perhaps too much English was used during a stressful moment? Is your device under warranty?

I am having troubles with my Power Button.
It needs a lot more pressing strength to make it work than on my Galaxy Nexus.
I already heard this is a common problem, but:
I feel and hear a "click" from the button. With light pressure it is clicking but the button not responding - means the screen is not turning on.
When pressing harder (beyond the click) the screen goes on.
Is it possible that there is dust under the button?
Can this be repaired by disassembling the phone and cleaning a little bit?
Or do I have to change the button to get it back working properly?
Might wanna see this
