I picked up my phone yesterday and man, this thing is sweet. From the display to the speed, I'm really impressed. One thing I noticed today was the home button moves a bit. Can you guys do a quick test for me? Place your finger on your home button. Get a nice feel of it. Now move your finger up and down vertically while holding onto the button. Is there a tiny bit of give there? Almost like a slight movement. For me it's noticeable on the left and middle part of the button.
Just want to make sure I don't have a faulty button. I noticed right out the box it's fairly loud when pressing down - aren't sure if this is normal or not.
Thanks!

Mine wiggles a little bit but still feels very stiff, don't think it's going anywhere
Mine is solid, doesn't move at all.
I've read a few times with people having issues like yours. I'd be tempted to take it back for a new one. It shouldn't move AT ALL.
Mine moves up and down.
Always had a small bit of wiggle with samsung home buttons.
The s7 edge however os the tightest ive had.

Mine is solid here. I can see how it csn get annoying. My iphone 6 plus was developing a wiggle right before i ditched it.
But my current shell/case wiggles quite a bit. Annoying at first buy now used to it.
I'm more concern on the power button. From what I experienced my my s5, the power button wiggles.
No. Unfortunately moving the home button is currently not an option. You can only keep it in the bottom bezel in the middle. Maybe that's a future feature though.

Yeah me too ! It does move a bit on the left ! But everything seems to work but it's kinda of annoying. I went to the store and the guy told me it was normal for the fingerprint thing because it's really sensitive. I don't know what to think of that.
Some variation in tolerances is to be expected. Nothing made by man is going to be exactly the same in every single piece of 10 or 20 million pieces made. Some buttons will be a tiny bit bigger, some a tiny bit smaller. Some phones will have buttons on the large end of spec and holes on the small end of spec, and no movement at all. Some will have buttons on the small end of spec, and holes on the large end, and noticeable movement. Most will be somewhere in between.
A little bit of movement won't hurt anything.

I had a heck of a time with my Vibrant and a creaky bezel and am pretty happy with the solid construction of the NS so far.
Do me a favor and tap around your bezel with your finger and tell me if you get a different pitched sound from the area around the power button than from the rest of the bezel. I am just curious if that is normal or if I have a bezel that will eventually get loose over time.
Thanks!
My bezzle near the power button is fine, however, I can hear a click and creaking from the bottom of the phone, next to the USB port, opposite side of the headphone jack. Whenever I press down lightly (like if I were to pick up the phone holding the top and bottom) I can create the sound.
Bummer.

same issue on mine. It turns out that it's just the battery cover, not the actual bottom bezel. When I remove the cover, no creakiness anymore. only option really is to buy a new battery cover when they appear online and see if it still creaks.

Sorry man! I spent the same amount of money too and I don't have this problem! If it doesn't meet your standards then by all means take it back!
I found the issue. The black bezel does in fact move independently of the inside plastic body/structure. It actually moved when pressed on but so little you would not think so. I took the battery cover off and looked and it presses in until it contacts the interior area giving it a place to push against.
I pick up my friends iPhone 4 and realize there is a company who makes quality products!
Yeah, I've got the creak on the bottom of mine as well. It's honestly not something that I'm all that worried about. That's the location that I most usually have a finger there, supporting the device, so I figure that with use it's going to start seeing some kind of wear.
Now, if the screen were to have had some issues, then that would be something different.
I get the creak at the bottom where the USB port is but I also get a creak when I touch the upper right hand corner near the front facing camera. It kind of feels like I'm pushing the corner in.

I am afraid the home button on my SGS4 is somehow defective. It still functions properly, but it is making all kind of cracking sounds. It almost feels loose. I checked on a SGS3 and a Note 2 and none of the home buttons were exhibiting the same behaviour.
So my question to you guys is, does your home button feel solid or is there and cracking with light touch?
Please take a look at the video I made.

On mine, i can hear and feel a slight crackling noise with light touch without pressing the key all the way down. The button feels solid, tight and works just fine AFTER the initial press, but it bothers me that it does that. The shop people wouldn't consider this as a defect since it's so minor, but minor enough to annoy a fussy tech person like me.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Just wondering (it might be stupid from my side, still...) did you remove plastic protective foil from the button. Usually it gets stucked on the button and it is hard to spot...

Yeah, I got this problem as well! Mine is not loose just like yours, but if you press softly on the button you can feel it move before the key activates.
Then, when you put the phone away, the problem returns after 10 mins of not being used. As if the plastic material "expands" and gets jammed. It really annoys me, because the phone was very expensive for me 800USD here in Denmark! And i expect a perfect phone for that kind of money!
Have anybody got a solution to this?
I am not willing to return the phone because they are only going to send it to get repaired, and I can feel it in my gut that I will get a phone back with more errors than before lol.
And how have it developed since? Gotten worse or better?

Too early to tell. It's really irritating though. I resulted in downloading a software home button to use instead (to prevent it from getting any more worse). Swipe Pad and Pie Control are both good at simulating the hardware home button - no root is required either.
i just noticed a slight cracking noise on my home button as well. It is more apparent if you press towards the edges of the button, and kind of seems like a 2-stage click. annoying

Although, the problem wont solve itself by avoiding the button, so i think i will press it even more, just to see if the problem persists, gets worse or fixes itself. In my experience the button has gotten worse over the past few days. The shop wont take the phone back because they label it as "self fault" (dont know the english term), they think I am the problem and have not taken care of my phone. This is ridiculous! I have now sent at mail to Samsung Denmark to see if they can help me!

Power button is wonky too.
I'm really unimpressed by the overall build quality of this phone - especially for its price.
Oh well. "First World Problems"
My home button feels absolutely fine, on the other hand, my power button feels sticky and spongey when I press it, still works fine though.
Nothing like my Galaxy Note 2 which clicks when pressed.
Mine started "clicking" few days ago. It drives me mental when trying to navigate through at night.
Why the middle? Nexus 5 was perfect in this regard. Buttons at the top.
I'm also using Spigen case so maybe that's contributing some to the awkwardness but i always push the buttons by accident, even lowering the volume while on calls.

why in the middle? because the phone is large, and placement in the middle gives you quick access to the buttons, instead of constantly sliding to the top of the phone first. my advice, get used to the button placement, as it is much more convenient. about the case, that you have to deal with on your own. as the phone doesnt come with a case, you buy it yourself.
If you're talking about this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I2LY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 then it's the case. I was just talking to someone about this today. The buttons and button placement of the Nexus is actually perfect. The volume buttons are really just one long button, with a decent gap between the power button above it. Without a case on, it's impossible to confuse which button is which. That completely goes away when you use probably any case, but specifically the Spigen. The reason is the Spigen case is just flat with equal spacing between the buttons. So it's very difficult to know which button you're trying to push since there is no way to "feel" which one it is, as opposed to without having the case. So it's not the phone. The phone buttons are just about perfect in my opinion. Unfortunately, that Spigen case, or any case similar to that, completely ruins it. I still love the Spigen case though.

Feels better in hand than that Speigen and looks a bit better as well. And covers ports. And is prime.
I have the neo hybrid. My complaint still isn't really with the case though. Just that i pick or hold the phone in the middle where the buttons are like 80% of the time. The other 20% is on the bottom.
If the buttons were up top i wouldn't accidentally bump into them all the time.

My biggest problem with the button placement is when using the speaker phone while driving. I keep placing the phone upside down in my cup holder and about 10 second later the phone restarts. Turns out my cup holder is the perfect size to hold the power button down and hard restart the phone lol.

Ugh, my phone doesn't fit in my cupholder ?. #firstworldproblems
It was my gripe at first. Now my gripe is why don't they put the buttons on all phones like this :sly:
I hate thelack of seperation between the buttons. Nexus 6 does a good job at texturing power button so i guess i should be blaming this crappy spigen case.
I have the slimarmor case and the buttons are flush with the case so I never realize I'm pressing the buttons until its too late. I would like to go naked but I keep dropping this phone all the time. I usuallydont drop my phones but this this g is aweful.
Still like the phone tho, just might get a different a case or insurance and a backup phone.

The spigen case is definitely the issue, I think they make the worst clear case of any. I have a ringke fusion and a pure gear slim and both are MUCH better than the spigen. With both of those I have no issue accidentally hitting any of the buttons.
I have a gripe about button placement too. I have small hands, being a chick and all, but why so low? My car holder which I used for my N5 and SGS2 now presses the volume buttons if I fully lock it. And why put the volume and power button so close?! I know they made the buttons feel different, but still too close. And taking screen shows is a pain in the A!! im sure there's a work around for Home+volume down but still.
Either way, still love the phone.

I have to disagree. I think it's one of the best clear back cases, except for the buttons. I don't use the buttons much anyway, but the clear case has yet to scratch at all after a month's use. If Ringke's clear back case wouldn't scratch so easily I'd get that for the buttons.
It's like this phone was made for lefties. These buttons are poorly placed and really sensitive, and I keep activating them, especially when i pick the phone up. I had a Speigen tough armor case on my note 4 which flattened out the buttons, and made them less sensitive to press (you'd have to really press them to activate them, on the 6p they activate the moment you touch them).
Does anyone know of a similar case like the one I mentioned for the 6P? this is my only issue, otherwise i love the phone, but it's a very big issue, and I'm considering a Note5, or holding out for the Note 6 if I cant resolve it.
Thanks guys!

You can use any case and simply make sure to shorten the button parts on the inside of the case. This will decrease the sensitivity.

Just got the first case, it's the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper , and it completely solves this issue. You have to really press the buttons to activate them, otherwise it is nearly impossible to accidentally do so. I'm completely satisfied, I doubt I'll find a case which better resolves this issue, although I have a few more on the way , so I'll report back on them when they arrive.
The only minor downside to this case, is it has no back, which I normally wouldn't mind at all, except that the 6p has a very slippery back, , and my fingers slide a bit on it if I'm not holding the edges really well. Mostly this is a non issue since I almost always only hold the edges, but i do need to be a bit more careful when using the phone one handed.
I'm really impressed, and I'm never impressed.

Just got two more cases, the Google Nexus 6p case, and the Adopted protected case. They are both very similar, and great cases. Both also resolve the button sensitivity issue. Great fit on both, they both are slightly tacky on the sides as well. The only real difference is the Google case has some kind of weird industrial carpet type of material on the back, and the Adopted case is plain rubber/plastic. I like the Google one slightly better. I'm also waiting on a back protector for the Rhino bumper, which is also a great option.

Received my S7 Edge Black a couple days ago in the UK direct from Samsung online, all great apart from the Home Button feels very loose as in tapping it lifting your finger/thumb off quickly gives a loose feeling and the sound as if it is loose the same as if I shake the device you can here the button moving around slightly. My previous S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus and S6 Active (I know, I was trying to find the best one and settled funnily enough with the Active!) did not have this issue. It doesn't particularly bother me but does doesn't feel particularly premium because of it and I was just wondering how widespread this this?

Hey,
The Home button will have play in it since its raised and actually depresses into the phone. Other brand have had the same type of button but had the button sunken into the display and was round and convave, so you wouldn't feel it, but most still did wiggle. I have the regular Sammy s7 and the home button moves in the slightest on the left side if I make it move.
I've tried roughly 4-5 stores in the montreal area and every single one did it regardless if it was the regular model or edge. So I wouldn't be concerned about it. If you look at the home button's diagram online, you'll see that the Button's flex cable is to the right side of the button creating less space tolerence. So since there's isn't anything on the left of the button, you'll notice that there is less resistance creating slight movement.
Some phones will have it more than others but you can count on all samsung s7's to eventually have some kind of play/wiggle on the left side of the button. So In my opinion, I wouldn't exchange the phone for this type of issue unless the button didn't register being pressed properly. For example, the s6 was indeed manufactured differently and felt loose when lightly touched or tapped on. So it wouldn't always register presses properly. But thats not the case here and I wouldn't worry about it.
Hope that helps!
