Anyone else with this screen problem

Around the notification bar area, touch the screen hard. Does your screen feel like its clicking in like the blackberry storm? I have a problem and I'm wondering if it's only me

Mine doesn't do that.

Are you pressing down?

Yeah, not super hard, as I don't want to break it. But a lot harder then I would be if I was trying to use the touch screen or buttons.
If I were you I'd go to best buy and ask to play with the demo. Try it on the demo, if it doesn't happen, exchange yours.

Thanks for the advice

Did you try it with the screen off or on because mine seems to do it when on only

Mine does NOT click or feel like it's clicking when touching (moderate pressure) the notification bar area (right, left or center), with the screen on or off.

None of the three Nexus S handsets I've gone through so far have done that. Take it back. Samsung's QC needs a lot of work.

Thanks alot for the replies guys. I'll be exchanging it

I unfortunately just realized I have this problem,right near the FCC woohoo 3rd nexus s

yea it sucks tell me how your exchange goes

Sure thing. Its dissappinting that you pay $530 for a phone and I has quality problems

Installed Ballistic case on my Nexus S 4G, now the power button doesn't work.

I got a Ballistic SG case today and installed it on my phone. After a few hours of using it, the power button mysteriously stopped working. I was able to make it so the volume button unlocks it, but now I can't lock the phone and have to battery pull to turn it off (and it just turns back on, as if the power button is perma-pushed). Does anyone know what i can do about this? Does this seem like a hardware malfunction? Should I not use the case? Thanks for any help

Same case mine is fine.

Best case ever
Tried many cases in the past and the Ballistic Case is the best. Since i purchased it I never have thought about changing cases.

[Q] home button click?

As the tittle suggests, does anyone have their home button make an audible click? When I touch mine on the right side it clicks and feels loose. Just wondering if anyone else has that.

I have that! I was wondering the same thing... and I cant replace it since I just got a 25$ zagg installed on my s4 -_-' and cant seem to find the receipt.

I called my local ATT they'll replace it without charging me a restocking fee. I'll probably do that. Just a tad worried since this is the only issue I've had with the phone. Don't want to get a bum phone.

If you get a new phone and you have more issues, you're just as entitled to an exchange as you are with this one. I have a friend who has gone through 5 phones within a month for various reasons, some admittedly a little overblown but point is, you can always exchange until you get a good one.

How much does it click, mines is a little one and I'm thinking it is cause the plastic. And my girlfriend didn't notice it like me

It sounds like an air pocket. Its a soft click but only on the right side.

My new 32GB S4 has a clicky home button. I've noticed this with the S3 as well. Personally, I wish they'd do away with the physical home button. Capacitive buttons were the future. I have also noticed my S4's home button seems really flat. Doesn't stick out as I feel it should. Works absolutely fine. So I'll see how it goes in my 14 day period.

[Q] Power Button click-feel

Hey guys, I just got my Galaxy S4 today. It's an amazing phone but I'm concerned about something.
The first thing I noticed is that the Power Button seems like it's flushed inside de phone and it doesn't provide a good click-feel like the Volume buttons. It's kind of mushy.
Sometimes I don't know if I pressed the button or not. It doesn't feel like clicking, it looks like it got stuck a little inside the phone.
I would like to know if anyone feels the same. If not I'll go as soon as possible to the store and exchange for a new phone.

This is a fault. Take it back ASAP Mine feels perfect, Its slightly elevated from the phone and has a nice click feel when pressing

You do not look for a nice click, just for the responsivnes. Note it works best when pressed in the middle, also give it some time to bake in.

Alright, I'll give it some time and see if it goes back to "normal" (or at least close to it).
If it doesn't I'll exchange it for a new one.

There was a small piece of black rubber inside the button.
Pressing it multiple times was making it come out. The button now feels right again.
It's pretty wierd though. I'm just glad it wasn't anything permanent.

Unresponsive home button?

I've been playing with my note 3 for a couple of days now and I've noticed that my home button sometimes does not work. I can feel the physical click when I push the button, but the phone doesn't respond accordingly. So, I'll have to push again (and again).
Anyone else experiencing this?
I think I'll have to take it back for a replacement because it feels like a mechanical issue, not a software issue.

That's not normal. It sounds like a mechanical problem to me as well. I would bring it in for a replacement.

If anything goes wrong and you can't get it fixed or replace it you can use on screen buttons

I don't like the quality of the home button at all. It floats around and often becomes very stiff to push. Compared to my N2 and my boss's s4 and it's definitely not up to par.
Having a business account and dealing with the reps in my local store I'm thinking about going for a replacement device(without any hassle)...Maybe I'll check it out on the display models first.
Anyone else notice this?
