the buttons on the NST with glowlight are "hard" to press.... especially the power button... is this normal? or my unit is faulty... read some reviews on ebay saying "buttons are easy to press but difficult to accidentally activate" or "the resistance is intentional to ensure the user does not "interrupt" their reading experience "

My buttons were a bit stiff when I first purchased it last year, but they have loosened up over time. Now they feel perfect. Mine is the NST without glowlight.

Hello.
I would like to ask a question to everyone who has the same experience.
In my recently bought Imate JasJar, some buttons(4-5 of them) do a very unpleasant creacking noise, while the others are virtually silent when pressed.
Should i worry that i have a defective unit(missalligned keyboard) that could lead to future button failure or just sit down and relax?
Thank you!

Interesting - i have an issue with the green/red phone keys - they seem to have the ability to double click - although no function can be assigned to it.

In my case, all the buttons work right!
But some of them do an unpleasant noise when pressed.
Is this normal?
solution
OK, I think the screws in the back are loose, take your stylus out and gently press where the stylu was from the bacl of the cover toward the keybaord and it should creak. I thing it is due to loose screws on the universal
If i am doing right,i see no creak on the pressure there!
But if this is the case, can i do something myself as to fix it?
Thanks!
I probably have one from the earlier batches, and the buttons I find a bit too stiff. Would love it if they were much softer. I recently made a trip to Costco, which had a dummy phone whose buttons were much easier to press. Now, I'm wondering if later batches have softer buttons. It could be the way the dummy phone was made though...
Anyone who's ordered more than 1 phone notice any difference in the action of the buttons?
I actually exchanged my phone for a new one last week because the back button started creaking after awhile. (That was just one of several problems I had with that phone...) I think the buttons were really stiff and because of that I felt I had to press harder on the button and I think wearing down the button way too much to the point it started to creak.
The new phone I got has a much better tactile feel on the buttons now. It's a bit softer to touch and quieter.
I have my second MT4G. The first one made sometimes creaky noise on the home button but that was not the reason why I returned it. My second one doesn't have the creaky noise but the buttons are still hard to press. I come from the N1 that had soft buttons so everything with hardware buttons is a big change. I think that the buttons are more protruding on my second one; feels a bit odd but no reason to exchange this phone again.
I was curious whether the buttons are easy to trigger by accident.
On my Nexus S and the Focus, there is a subtle upward curve at the bottom of the phone. This small lip seems to prevent a lot of accidental presses of the capacitive buttons.
In my experiences with a completely flat face phone (the HD7), accidentally pressing the capqcitive buttons was extremely common and annoying. I like the looks of the Omnia 7 more than the Focus, but if it leads to similar problems as the HD7 (always pressing the buttons by accident) then I'd rather go with the focus.
For me that's one of the most annoying things about the phone. I hit the search button all the time.. But some say there will be a firmware update to fix that.

That's exactly what used to happen to me with my HD7. When I held the phone part of my thumb would be on the bezel and it would hit the search button. Also, when I held the phone in landscape my finger would also hit it.
With the Nexus S I don't run into this problem because the bottom is curved a bit. I've also played with the Focus a bit and it seems to have this slight curve at the bottom as well.
yup same thing here, this is when I spend time try to browse through apps and use my phone when it was still new. now i got the hang of it, and i dont really fiddle it as much as before now, just a basic need. and i got what a really wanted, fast and responsive phone.
Hello everybody, just a quick question.
I have fallen over my HD2 while rollerskating, and despite being in a protective case, apparently it has received some damage.
The back hard key, doesn't provide any feedback when pressed (it still works, but there's no travel of the key, neither a feeling of being pressed).
So if anyone has an idea - is this fixable somehow, or I'll have to go for a whole new keypad?

It seems it affected your hardware Back-key which is together with the rest of your bottom hardware buttons: anyway I suggest to leave it that way (if everything else it's OK) because repairing it by changing the whole row of buttons ( practically a flexibile ribbon) implies disassembling the entire device even the combo (lcd+touchscreen) from the chassis (an action rather for professionals!).
Good luck!
Enjoying my new Nook Glowlight Plus after much angst of thinking it was time to jump ship. Glad I didn't, though I am shocked at the lack of decent covers for it (none I can find with a rear stand like the awesome one I have for my Simple Touch.
Anyway, the one annoying thing about the new unit is the darned phyical Nook button on the bottom front of the unit. I'll be reading away and my finger slips and, presto, I'm out of the book and back to the home screen. There has to be a way to beat this little button into reacting usefully.
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

Install Xposed Additions, and remap the HOME button as "Click" disabled, "Long Press" as home.
