Loose home button? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I bought a s7 edge in Australia and rooted when i got it. After 2 months, I found the home button was loose.
When I softly tap on the home button, it will produce a click sound other than firm press sound. its like theres some wiggle roon under the home button.
I've been to samsung customer center but they rejected my replacement request because its rooted.
Is there any other solution?
Thx

Top/Power button 'problem'

So I'm having this minor issue with the Legend, or rather, the power button.
The button seems to be very hard to press down on the right side, and very loose on the left side.
I don't know if this is how it's supposed to 'feel', which is the point of this post.
Do you guys have any problems with the power button?
It feels as if there's a 'gap' between the surface the button is supposed to press against when you press on the loose end (left side of the button).
Also makes a click sound when you press is softly (phone is not activated)
If that makes any sense
Power button on my legend is firm on both sides. Maybe you got a factory defective phone?

my home button is kinda like this sloppy on the left and the actual button fells like its on the right.
I fear its a dud button but I don't want to send my legend back to the UK from Australia

i think that it is normal. mine is the same goes also for the search button...
same as Tillertow
but I did not use that bottom usually (except power on phone)
I have install Lock 2.0 to use other bottom to wake up the phone.

Home button is sticking and clicking

Hi everyone, my new S7 edge (1 day old) is having an issue with it's home button, if the button is pressed and there is some directional force towards the left (any right handed user does this), the button sticks for about half a second then pops back up with a loud click.
Does anyone know a quick fix for this issue?
Cheers

Return it would be the best option... It will end up driving you nuts... My first S7 edge had a home button that had to be pressed right in the middle... If I didn't push in the middle it wouldn't register....

S7 Edge home button doesn't register on the left?

Hi Guys,
I have a galaxy s7 edge which is almost two months old now.
Recently I noticed that the home button especially the left side of it , when you click it , it doesn't register until it is pressed a little hard.
This ain't the issue with the middle of the button or right side.
I purchased the phone from UAE on a vacation and hence it doesn't have any warranty in my country.
Is it normal or is this an issue?
I'm having this issue as well. Mostly when I press the home button the left side gently it doesn't register.
Everything else is great with the phone though so not sure if it's worth me returning it with warranty though...

Galaxy S5 Power Button Problem

Hello guys I am asking for help since when I drop my phone accidentally the power button actually broke as it doesn't work at all and I put it in a bag of rice so the rice sucks all the water and the power button is completely dead, it sometimes work tbh then stops responding again. Now here is my question. How can I fix this without shipping my phone to Samsung or Pay a few dollars to get this fixed?

Mmmm use the home button to wake up the phone and install an app to lock the screen and to restart the device if needed
Try different waking methods, double tap or volume buttons or the home key.. And locking, prefer locking apps or gestures.. But I would suggest, get the power button replaced, Bcoz you ll get locked out, when battery runs out or phn turns off!

Good advice to get the power button fixed. There *will* come a time when you need it.

Good thing is that when the phone is completely charge but the power button is not responding all I do is hold the down volume + Home button then use my charger to boot it up then press down volume again.
At the end of the day the choice is yours as to whether to get the button sorted or not. You *seem* to be ignoring the sound advice that everyone has told you. Again, that's your choice....In the same way as it'll be our choice to ignore your requests for help when you inevitably create a post with the title....
"Help....bootlooping phone and broken power button"
Good luck with that one fella.

Where to find home button replacement

So my buddies HTC bolts home button has been giving him issues. Then yesterday totally stopped working. I looked up how do replace it and the process isn't he hard the only thing is I can't find a replacement button anywhere. I searched on ebay HTC bolt replacement home button and HTC 10 Evo home button replacement with no luck. Do anyone know were to get one?
Thanks
are you still looking for a button? I have a bolt with a broken screen but the home button and fingerprint scanner works perfectly. I might be taking it apart soon and if I do I wouldn't mind sending you the home button.
