I have the nexus 6p for almost 3 months now, and everyday I press those buttons accidentally. I need to know, does anybody else out there suffers with the same problem?
Tried spingen rugged armor, didn't help
Rinkgle fusion, same
Verus, same
Poetic, same
I'm not saying that is loose or something, is just to easy to press it accidentally! My last year device, Droid turbo wasn't like that neither my dad's iphone 6! Maybe is the buttons placement!
Just wondering that! Someone could share their experiences
Thanks guys!

I had the exact same problem. I actually hate the button placement on this phone. It was driving me crazy until I got my RhinoShield. Now I rarely press on the buttons hard enough to activate them.
Also any case that covers the power and volume buttons makes it nearly impossible to take a screen shot or boot into recovery. I have the official Nexus case on my device

Me too. Those buttons are just too easy to press. It's a minor annoyance really as the rest of the phone is almost perfect.

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?
Not sure if its an led in the button or a deformed power button that has passed through quality control without being seen?
Am I the only one?
Thanks in advance

I think it's the latter. You should send it back for a replacement, who knows what else is wrong with it.

Really.
So the button is not completely smooth, like the volume rocker switch is?
The light is reflecting somehow at the point you see the dot. I've added a second photo, that shows light reflecting differantly.
I thought at first it was a power led or something?
If you run your nail down the button, does it get caught in the hole or run smooth across it?
Thanks again.

I got the same thing on my phone. I think it's just because of design because your nail doesn't get caught or anything.

I was hoping it was by design, as I really didn't want the hassle of an exchange.
Seems all is well, thanks for your feedback.
Aaaahhh, that's the design of the button (circular pattern embossing with a center point)
Come on man..!!!!

Using your iPad, you've obviously not used other manuafacturers who push off design issues as 'by design'.
After having the device for a couple of days, I am glad I checked.
There is no "hole", the power button has a textured finish that radiates outward from the center of the button, which is why it looks like there's something in the middle of it. If you run your fingernail across the power button, you will notice that the entire button has that textured finish on it.
Hey guys, I just got the phone today. Usually the first thing I do is to shake the phone to see if there is any unexpected noise.
UNFORTUNATELY ... It has. The way I shake it is to hold the bottom half and use the top half like a fan. It sounds like a plastic piece that keeps bumping.
Then I tried to hold some parts tight, but the noise was still there. I wasn't able to find the cause.
Any ideas? Thanks! If it's common I will keep the phone, otherwise I'm gonna return the phone before it's too late.

Thanks for the reply. I just powered off, removed the tray with SIM and SD, and shaked again. The sound is still there.
I guess this is due to bad assembly of budget phones ... Did some search and found that maybe the sound is from the camera's OIS module. Unfortunately G5+ doesn't have OIS ...

OK. I think it is the camera module.
The original sound is harsh (just like plastics bumping into each other) , but when I turn on the camera and shake again, the sound is smoother.
So the phone is working as it should but for some reason a person wants to shake it?
It's probably the camera module..try shaking it while the cameras on and see if it still makes that sound.
But really shaking a phone is pretty dumb.

No sound no nothing. Weird.
From my point of view the build quality is spot on. At least as good as my m8 never had a physical issue.

No noise when I shake mine.
Thanks guys for the feedback. Maybe I will file the return in a couple of two days ... My previous phone is a Moto X Pure that started random clicking right after the 15-month warranty expired ...
Maybe it's time to abandon moto ...

Yes the clicking sound ... When I turn on the camera (by twisting it), that clicking sound is fainter.

Same thing here. It is the loose volume buttons (not really loose). Just hold them and shake it, no sound.
Try again without SIM tray... Definitely the crackle is louder with it.
Removing it, only left camera module noise, but you should be exaggerating the shake

Thanks, just turned it off, removed the sim tray, held both the volume buttons tight, and slightly shook again, the sound was still there. I'm filing a replacement from amazon.
I just received the replacement. Still have sound, but smaller. I think I'll just keep this one.

exactly what i was going to say
if you quickly tap on volume button(in my case volume down) without cover or case you would get thet noise
i can clearly listen and feel the button being loose and so it also happens on shaking phone
Also got that sound. :/ With camera on its really faint.
Only on XDA, people are shaking phones like idiots.

Is the volume rocker supposed to be this mushy and wobbly or did I get a dud?
Nope, isn't normal, the buttons should be thicks

Get a good case to protect your device and also make it easier to use the buttons. I got mine from Urban Armor Gear, and the buttons are no longer an issue. Best of luck.

So it's a normal issue on all G5's? Yea, I definitely plan on getting a case.
The Moto G has never had very good volume buttons, but getting a case like mentioned has always fixed the problem for me.
Hello Mi A1 users.
Today I'm complaining about something that's happening to Mi A1. The back of the device (black variant) have some "holes" where it seems there's no painting. I only have this phone for one month and I always used it with cover.

if u use a hard cover, it may actually be the culprit. What happens is the inner surface of the cover rubs the phone body, removing the paint/coating on it. Unfortunately, not using a cover means damage to the internals on every fall. i use soft covers, they are good for absorbing shocks while being less harsh on the phone body. The look is compromised but then its the deal.....

It happens when sands get stuck under your cover and it wears out the color finish of the aluminum. This is very common if you use a case and don't clean regularly. Those who don't use a case never face this situation but they risk the physical health of the device.
