S7 edge home button paint peeling? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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

Middle button loose? Anyone?

I have X1 for 5 day now and seem to have no problem with it. However, today I noticed that if I turn the phone upside down (for example, you hold your phone while you in bed.) and touch the middle button (the joystick) it seem to loose a little when I touched
It's normal? Please confirm me cause I'm still in 1 week return if I found problem.
Thank you in advence.
My optical mouse/button is loose too. If I shake the phone it rattles. I would send it back, but I think I'll wait until supplies stabilize...lol.
Thank you very much for confirm it, However it happen to everyone's phone? or just a few case?
if Anyone have "optical mouse/button" stay fit and not loose. Please confirm us too
No problem on mine. My X1 is 08W45.
desman, you man your button is fit not loose?
Yes, I put it upside down and don't feel any loose.
Thank you desman, I think tomorrow I will have to go to Service center to change it.

[Q] Capacitive button tester

Is there a tool that can test/adjust the sensitivity of the Epic's capacitive buttons? Mine seem unresponsive and I'd love to know if the hardware is not sensitive or the software is ignoring the taps.
Something that displays a readout showing which button is being pushed would be really useful.
Thanks,
Jason
there really isnt. its being classified as a hardware issue. i swapped the board out on mine the other day with a returned phone and it started working. taking the phone apart to fix the button at the bottom is a complete pain in the face. and if the gorilla glass faceplate comes out (which needs to happen to swap out the buttons) then it never really goes in correctly. nor does it stay stuck.take it back to sprint and see if you can do a 30 day exchange on it.
Thanks. I got mine at Best Buy and have their insurance. They'll fix/replace it for free but they have to send it to their service center and give me a loaner. I almost replaced it within the 30 days but when I took off the screen protector (Skinomi) to give it back, the keys were working great. I decided to hold on to the phone. Now I have another protector on it (Realook) and am having the same problem. I'm assuming the button is less sensitive than it should be so it works fine without the protector but not well with it. I might have to switch to a partial-screen protector.
So if my buttons are very difficult to press then its an issue and not the general design of the phone itself?
My wife said she has no problems with the buttons so I'm going to have to compare hers to mine.

Same exact situation. I was using the Realook screen protector and everything worked fine except for the back button. After I took it off I noticed that the back button worked just fine. After using it a little longer I still feel like it's not as responsive as the other three buttons.

There's a couple of ways you could do this:
Every time you press a capacitive button, it should blink right after it registers. This indicates it was pressed.
Another way is to boot into Clockwork Recovery Mode, goto Advanced, and use the key/button test option that's in there.
I'm also using a Realook screen protector, so far it's the best I've tried. I've used Zagg, Invisishield, StealthGuard, and Amzer protectors and non of them had the clarity or feel of the Realook. It feels and looks like nothing is there, aside from being an oil magnet. Anyhow, I don't have any reduced sensitivity when using it compared to bare.
One trick I use to apply the Realook is cover the whole phone with 4 or 5 strips of scotch tape (overlapping each other) before application, it helps to get rid of all the super fine dust particles that are floating around. Also, use a high power flashlight, and shine its beam across the surface of the screen, it will make all the dust you couldn't see before light up. Have a few looped pieces of scotch tape ready to pluck off dust particles that get stuck on the protector and screen. Then get the Realook protector ready, pull your strips of scotch tape as one from the top and quickly align the protector, pull more tape off and follow with the protector, this insures no dust thats floating around will get on your screen or protector, if some does, you have the flashlight to easily show you and the tape at the ready to pluck them off.
Reason I said the above is because you might have minute dust particles that are creating a gap with just enough space to prevent your capacitive buttons from registering.
I took drastic measures and cut a rectangle hole out of the Realook protector so I could have direct access to the buttons. It is ugly, but it works. The back button works much better now.

just a little tip

I know alot of people who have complained about hitting the home or back button while playing a game or something like that and I think I've found a solution. I have the amzer case and no screen protector but this may also work with a screen protector on. Basically what I did was take an old screen protector and cut a very small strip the width of the screen. Then I installed it right above the Samsung logo. Since then I haven't hit the back or home button once. Let me know if this helps anybody.
Great idea, I just did this too. You don't even see it but it stops my fingers from sliding down into that area.

Smudging/Grease near Home button - 4 days old

I just got my S4 and it appears there is smudging around the home button, where my thumb presses it. I don't use a screen protector but this has nothing to do with that. It is like a grease spot that doesn't come off. Anyone have this before? Should I return it?

Stumped! On 3rd g900t digitizer-Cant get rid of issue (recent menu/left touch) HELP!

I am on my 3rd g900t digitizer-Cant get rid of issue

Something is telling my phone that im hitting that left button when i am clearly not. Its *not the digitizer itself because ive tried 3..
ive replaced the charger port assembly once as well.
A: does anyone know of a way i can disable the left touch button on the s5 ? (More specifically-just the functionality,not the light)
fyi this did start happening when i replaced the digitizer, the actual plastic silver case & the charger port. Maybe its the case that's doing it? Anyone ever heard of anything like this? Its driving me nuts, i cant use my phone, sick of buying replacement parts!
Please please help me on this brothers...
IS there anyone with any idea on how to disable the left touch button on an S5????
What if i simply Snipped the button after lifting the digitizer?? would that work?
