Hello,
I didn't notice this until my gf bought s5. Playing around with both devices I noticed that my home button make clicking noise when swiping finger over it (without pressing it) from left to right, also my home button is flat with the screen, hers is like 1 mm risen compare to mine.
Also mine is harder to press on the sides, because its flat with the screen.
Does anyone else notice that? Should I be worried or it will be fine?
If its working properly then no worries. Its just Samsung tradition of their devices.

I owned s2, s3 and Note 3. Never experience something similar, that's why I was I little worried. But ill try to get used to it, because in my country (Serbia) fixing it or replacing it under warranty could take up to 40 days, and its too much to wait that long.
Anyone else have this problem?

Hey all.
I've tried to search from internet if somebody has the same problem as I do with my Galaxy S but I could not find anything. Seems that my Screen is loose from the right side of the screen. If i press gently the screen from the right middle it bends and makes this clicking sound. I haven't dropped or hit my device and it seems that this screen movement is getting worse all the time.
Has anyone else had any build quality problem or am I just unlucky?
I think is an issue covered by the warranty.
Go to the dealer and change it. Fast.
If it clicks probably it has something that is pressing on it.
you could find your self in the position to crack it.
Hey Everyone,
I do this every now and then, wondering if everyone else does.
Let's say I'm using the phone one handed, web browsing or something and I need to reach a button on the opposite bottom corner.
Rather than stretch across the screen, I just rotate the phone 90 degrees for a second. The screen rotates, and the button is now directly under my thumb. I click it, rotate back and move on.
Yes, the Note still sucks sometimes as a one handed phone, but this does help out every now and then.

oh thanks nice idea
another way is to curl your finger around the back of the phone...I did try this, and looks really funny if you're watching from afar
I guess I just have big hands. The way I hold the phone, I can touch everything to the right of the blue line.
Ha.. same here. I've got big hands too. One overseas colleague once asked me if that is a S2 I'm holding.
If I'm holding the phone, you can only see 1/4 of it from the back. And only 1 cm separates my thumb to the closest finger when I hold it.
This is particularly useful if you're reading in landscape.

another trick for zooming during browsing with the stock samsung browser is to simulate 2 fingers. usually you can zoom in and out by putting them on the screen and overturn the phone.
so instead of using to fingers, just put your thumb on the left side of the screen, so that a small part of your palm touches the screen on the right, which simulates an input^^
i hope u understood what i mean
I never hold my phone 1 handed. I'm too afraid of dropping it. But I'll try your advice if I ever need to
Just today my home button started getting sticky. it clicks two times instead of one. Has anyone experiwnced similar issues with their s4?

Maybe it got dirty with something sticky you held before using the phone Try cleaning it and see if it still happens.
Mine has gone sticky as well. It only registers one click, but it needs more force to push in, and it gives with an audible clicky noise. It also feels slow in the 'release'. Considering getting it fixed.
started happening to me yesterday (14 days of use), and the home button is also sticky, but only on the left side. if I press the button in the center or on the right side, the click is normal. pressing on left side I can feel 2 levels on the click.
any way to fix this? feels like broken.
Nobody?
Mine started to get sticky too. I think it has something to do with the microUSB port. Try inserting the microUSB cable and shifting the port up and down.
Sticking Home Button
i have this issue as well, sent mine to service center, hope they fix it or replace the unit.
I think it is a design issue, we users might have pressed it harder than usual, which tear up something that holds the home button (Since it is elongated) on both ends. and if you notice, it is no longer protruding (a litttle), it is aligned with the screen.
I think in the long run, more users will report this issue, i had mine for only just 2 weeks, variant GT-9505 black
By any chance any of you have installed pxxxtube? LMFAO
Sticky Button = Replaced screen
hi guys,
sent mine into Samsung Service center, and although i complain of a wobbly home button, they have replace the LCD, since according them the two are connected.
I had the same issue and was able to fix it by doing the following. Put a small amount of water on your fingertip and rub the home button and surrounding areas with it (you may want to do this with phone off). Use the corner of a piece of paper and go around the home button, in between the gap. This soaks up the excess water and cleans the gap. I think what happens is that we get something sticky in there, like juice or soda.

just put some water on it and a bit of alchol.
i also having home button issue on i9505
if i press the left side of the home button it makes a loud clicks noise and then it works.
it feels like the spring or something is a bit loose at that side – if you understand what i mean.
it happens when the phone is hot.
when the phone is cold or not being used for some time it doesnt haapen.
will samsung repair it in warranty?
I'm having this issue as well with my S4, I called Samsung and they won't help me cause I don't have a receipt

Thanks, I actually fixed mine
Using onscreen buttons, launcher with gestures and alternative apps available on playstore really helps not to stress home buttons.
Samsung should remove this physical home button on next galaxy series.

Anyone else with this problem? I had what I thought was a chip in the middle of my home button which I thought was strange as I am very very careful with my phones and did not drop it, anyway I let it slide and a few weeks later now a long strip at the button of the home button peeled off as I was applying a screen protector WTF. I bought it straight from sammy so hopefully if I take it back to the store they may be able to replace the button under warranty. Has this happened for anyone else?
Mine also has a visible scratch on it. I doubt they will replace the button because I heard the entire display has to be changed for the button alone.
hello,
I've got the same problem. Do you guys think it will work if paint gone? It is just paint? I don't really care how it looks like- if it works
First phone had the camera problem, so I had it replaced, but both phones open apps that are not on the screen whenever I pick up the phone or put it down. I hold the phone on its sides, I do not accidentally touch the screen, I do not touch the buttons on either side, and even if I did, the app that opens will always be an app that is not on the screen I have touched. This is obviously some weird Note 4 problem, since both phones have done it and both phones did not even have the same apps installed, it seems to involve the way I hold the phone; holding it in my hand by the sides and walking around with it will sometimes open an app also, but mostly when I either pick it up or put it down, again fingers not touching anything but the sides of the phone, and not the buttons on the sides of the phone either, the only way I can avoid this is to black the screen with the right side button before I put the phone down or in my bag, as otherwise it will open a random app. I think I have gone on long enough to describe this situation, so does anyone have any ideas??

thanks for the info.
Have you check the Notification Panel to see if you have Touch Sensitivity enabled?
thanks for the reply, no, I didn't enable that on either phone.
Just wanted to share: I've had the same happen to me. On one occasion, my phone uploaded and sent pictures to one of my contact as I was was watching. I immediately suspected something nefarious. When I came across this post, I had to share.
I'd recommend that you remove the screen protector from your device if you use one, and see if that helps.
haha bruce lee roy, and to iceepyon, yes I had a glass screen protector on the first phone, but nothing on this one as I want it to break accidentally so I have to buy something new, but again both phones have the same behaviour with and without any screen protector. Really, nobody has had this problem at all with a Note 4 besides me?
