hey guys
got my brand new xc yesterday. I have noticed that I need to press the power button 2 or 3 times and a little bit harder to make it work
anyone noticed this problem or is it just my case?!
I don't have this issue. I'd exchange it.
Might need to exchange it sounds like a defective unit.
yeah I dont care anyway it's not a big issue and I dont have time to go for warranty
thanks guys.
Depending on country and store, you get a no questions asked instant replacement for DOA (Defect On Arrival). Might be worth it. You need to return the defective phone within quite a narrow timeframe after recieving it, though. Had a very good experience. (Switzerland/Digitec/7 days)

When I got my Z5C I had to adjust to the power button placement (since most previous phones I owned had a power button on the top of the phone).
When I received the XC I noticed this power button is much more difficult to press than my previous Z5C. It also doesn't make much noise when clicked. This means that I do typically press harder to depress the button but I figure it is just an adjustment that i need to make when using the phone much like I did when I was using the Z5C. If you press in the middle of the button and it doesn't work then I would agree about its defect status. Otherwise, you might just be adjusting like me.
Yeah i guess it's defective but doesnt matter, it works if i press a bit harder
Although It sometimes gets tricky when i want to keep pressing to go to power menu or turn on the phone
Anyway, thanks guys

Has anybody have the same problem I have with the DHD volume button? My device has the bottom part of the button jutting out a little bit, and I am worried it might fall off. I have only had this phone for 2 and a half weeks, so before considering an exchange, has anybody had the problem and fixed it? I would hate to take the button off and not be able to put it back on properly.
Can you take pic and upload it?

I had the same problem. I sent mine back to Phones4u after about a week.
Whether it would have fallen off or not, I don't know - but as mine was like that after a week or so I didn't want to take any chances.

Here are the pictures, hope they're good enough quality.
Mine's the same, it's going back when vodafone get more stock.
I also noticed the top of the screen clicks and creaks as if its loose.
Mine is the openmarket version and vodafone only have the branded handsets in stock anyone know the difference?
Just return it.
Hi all,
I've my phone about a month now and I have almost the same problem with the volume button.
Actually it isnt that bad as the pictures above but you can definetally feel that the vol-down button sticks a litle bit out while the vol-up is very hard to press.
(The powerbutton is also hard to press but that seems to be with everyones phone)
It seems HTC is very bad in making hardware buttons, I had also button problems with my Touch HD and my HD2!
What do you recommend me? Should I return it or not?
Ps for htc maybe:
The main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.
I have a solution, make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.
I think that should solve a lot of problems
The bottom bit of the volume button comes out a bit too on mine but not that far!

Based on the images he posted somethings clearly wrong with it. The buttons not set in the device properly at all.
Same problem...

From the pictures, i had the exact same problem. On day one, i was so happy to have the phone i looked passed it ( it was the very slightest bit sticking out ), then eventually a week later it really started coming loose, when you press volume up for example the bottom of the button would literally pop out and dangle.
In the end i arranged for a replacement the next day as i was illegible as i only had, had the phone for a week. What struck me is the elastics holding the volume rocker in place? thats the last thing i'd expect something made out of "metal" to be locking it in place.
Hi all,
i have the same problem. the volume rocker is not sticking to much out but you can definitely feel the difference between the upper and the lower side of the button. the upper side is like pushed in and kind of hard to press and you don't fell the "click" when you push the vol up. the lower side i slightly sticking out but you can fell the "click" when you push the vol down.
how do yours fell when pushing vol up?
i don't know if i should replace the device or not???
here are some pics of my problem
thanks

I returned mine and I think you should too.
Works perfectly now, but not sure if it can last 20 months as my old one broke so early. Taking the greatest of care whilst touching the volume rocker now. Kinda sad that a device so expensive has quite a few cosmetic flaws.
Exact same issue with mine i dabbed some super glue ont he plastic and the metal. Its alot better now. Seen new buttons on ebay, has anyone tried these yet? How do you install them?

In the picture you attached, the volume key lok in the correct place. However, the Aluminum or battery cover is not in the correct shape. I can see some distortion.
I read a lot of reviews about the Omnia 7 before buying one (can't have it until Christmas - I'm being good you see!) and a lot of them complained about the power button being in a place you're likely to press during a call.
My question: what happens if you press the power button during a call? On my HD (WinMo 6.5), it just goes in and out of standby but the call stays connected (so you can turn the screen on to use the keypad or switch to loudspeaker, etc). Is it the same with WP7?
My question too cause im looking to buy this phone also
I use the Omnia 7 for about 2 weeks now. Never had the problem of hitting the power button while making calls. But if I do so, nothing happens, it just turns of the screen, the call is still on. Same thing as you put your phone near your head and the sensor turns your screen off.
On other hand i "had" little problems with the back and search buttons. You can easily hit those buttons while doing other stuff. But its not as a big deal as it sounds.
Thanks very much - just what I needed. I was a bit worried as the Engadget review went on and on about the power button being just by your thumb, but it doesn't seem a big deal to me.
Edit: I thanked _ivo_ as well by accident - didn't mean it! No hard feelings

This almost put me off too. They must hold their phone in the most unusual way known to man, because my thumb sits nicely between the power & camera buttons...
The power button needs to be firmly pressed to turn off power, it would be very hard to press this unintentionally unless you hold your phone as tight as possible while calling.
I just got my TF and it seems the power button is pushed in on one side, is this normal? It is supposed to be as far out as the volume rockers, right?
I don't think you can see it, but it is MUCH harder to press then the volume rocker, what should I do?
Picture:
From what I can make of the picture, it does look like it's pushed in.
I contacted Adorama I am just gonna get a new one. Sorry for the huge picture, it didn't auto scale for some reason. Also it is painful to push so I am sad, as I really want to play with it.
I just got the same problem! Brought mine 4 days ago and did a search to see if others had the issue. Yeah, mine is stuck in. It's so bad that I can't reliably turn it on/off. I'm going to return it.
How did your replacement work out? I haven't decided if I'm going to ask for an exchange or just refund.
Just wanted to know if there is a way to make it so when you push the power button your nook will boot up (or lesson the time needed to hold in). It seems like I have to push really hard and long for anything to happen. I already know you can remap the keys to something else, but haven't seen anything on this idea.
Typically I have to hold in on the power button for 3-5 seconds to power on the Nook. This is because the short press is used for sleep/wake. It would be bad if you were trying to put the device to sleep and ended up rebooting. You can remap the keys but I don't know how without researching the subject.

Haven't seen of anyone remapping the Power Button. Pretty vital button IMO. But I've noticed the longer you have the NC the likelihood of it wearing a bit increases. I have to hold mine down a while...sometimes even pressing it twice. You have to realize that the internal components aren't made to last forever so I'd suggest go light when pressing. Granted, I've had my original over a year and have no clue how many times I've flashed it so I do expect mine to wear out one day.

That's the reason why I wanted to know if it's possible to decrease the time it takes to hold it down. I've only had my nook for couple weeks now but I want to last for as long as possible.
Hi
Just got my Nexus last night and noticed that the power button is a little stiff like it is pushed in too far. The volume rocker seems okay though. Is this normal with the Nexus 7 2013?
Cheers
I have the same issue but with the vol down button, don't think it is normal. Mine is coming back from the sat, hope they have solved it too.
Yeah, both my power and volume buttons are kinda stiff..
Thanks for the reply's guys
I guess I can live with it as it is functioning properly. It's just I don't feel that little click when I press it so have to double check especially when first turning it on.

You might take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442121. It explains how to clean manufacturing glue that tends to seep under the buttons during assembly. It may be more trouble than it is worth, but it might be worth looking into if the problem really annoys you.
I had similar experiences with my previous tablet, the ASUS TF700T. The power button and the volume buttons were totally stiff. I almost returned the tablet. But after pressing them quite a few times, it got a little better and finally the stiffness was completely gone.
Alternatively you can use ElementalX kernel with sweep2wake and doubletap2wake features.
