Is it just me? Each time I use the hardware button to take a picture it is slightly blurry, I have the feeling that when I release the button that I shake the camera slightly. If I use the soft button on the phone I don't have these problems.
Same here. Ultimately, I think the reason is that the camera just kinda sucks. You have to be pretty much PERFECTLY still for the picture to not come out blurry. It was the same thing on my samsung behold I had before getting the mt4g. Also, for some reason pictures seem to come out less blurry when taken outdoors but that may just be me.
Same problem here... solution is simple... use the on-screen button...like seriously..waste of a thread, go blog about this somewhere.

This is why I only use the on screen button. The Verizon Droid Incredible button is harder to press and has no on screen button. Horrible

...and maybe that it doesn't have focus assist light for the dark. So the stupid camera tries to focus on a dark area and can't achieve focus...but then it uses the flash once you take the picture to light up the unfocused picture...brilliant.
Maybe someone don't know that with the new GB Roms you can use the 3D botton to shoot with camera and to record/stop your videos.
Nice!
Yeah I noticed this earlier... a nice bit of work that keeps my hand steadier when taking the pic. Having the thump taking the pic feels much more natural IMO.

Now I use much more the camera. I hate the digital command on the screen. Now you can ask some shoots with the camera to anyone without explain so much : P
I don't know if LG listened to the community or that this was already planned but yeah, I think it's a great feature as well. Those first few seconds of a movie were always off target and wobbly because of the awkward press on the screen. Now it's just point and shoot like it should be.
Could someone look in /system/usr/keylayout and open omap-keypad.kl and scroll to the bottom and tell me what key 249 says?

Bah thanks adixtra, I was hoping there was a command we didn't know about. Looks like the ability to shoot with 3d button is in camera app itself.

Does anyone else power button not feel as firm as the volume buttons? The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't 'click' as noticeably as the volume buttons. It feels a little different.
I could be just nitpicking though.

Well let me just join in on the nitpicking...my volume rocker is loose. If I put my thumb in the middle and "slide" the rocker up and down, the entire thing moves slightly. Meh.
Its kinda hard for me to get used to the power button coming from the captivate where the power button was on the side

I never would have noticed this, but my volume rocker does exactly the same thing.
I couldn't care less, though. What I care about is the wifi bug and the fact that my Gmail app takes 10-15 minutes to receive emails. Every other Android phone I've ever had has received Gmails to the Gmail app within 10-20 seconds (if not less).

I guess I just got use to the iPhone 4's distinct feel. When you push it, you'd know when you pressed it as if felt like it actually clicked. On the One X, it's almost a little mushy; not as distinct as the iPhone 4's feel and not even as distinct as the feel on the One X's volume rocker. I guess its nothing to be worried about?
Oh, and I tried shifting the volume rocker as well. Mine moves as well, but that's absolutely nothing to worry about. It's just a slight shift when you force it.
same here, volume is clicky just fine but power feels soft and mushy.
I'm using the Otterbox commuter series case on my HOX, and all of the buttons are a little hard to press because of it.
I almost ALWAYS buy my phones from Best Buy so I can get the Geek Squad Black Tie protection, but I had a rather unique circumstance that required me to get 2 new sim cards (I knew this going into it) and was doing a hardware swap, so at Best Buy it would have taken 3+ hours.. At the AT&T corp store I was in/out within 20.
I used to work for BBYM and we just didn't have access to the same systems that AT&T does. Not hating, just facts.
EDIT: Just realized that seemed completely off topic, I forgot to add the fact that I don't have GSBT is why I actually am using I case. I hate phone cases.
No HTC phone would be complete without a lackluster/poor tactile feedback power button.

Well mine is like that too. nothing to get too worried about. They are all like that. I seriously tried out 10 different models in the store. They were ready to throw me out. Lol.
But the iphone 4S button feels better. It actually clicked. Feels like my One X button will fail over time. Feels that way but will actually hold up just fine. I think we are being a bit nitpicky. After all we all want perfect phones.
I just got a white AT&T One X, and one of the first things I noticed is the soft power button. I then tried two demo units in a store. The black demo unit felt better than the white demo unit (about the same as mine).
I am thinking about exchanging mine, but after reading all this, I'm not sure if I will get anything better...

Volume Rocker Wake works on CM9 Alpha 5
I've been using CM9 Alpha 5 for a few hours now and it's great !
The first think I set was the Volume Rocker Wake as the Power Button is not as easy to press when using most cases covering the power button.
To enable it, go to SETTING --> DISPLAY --> VOLUME ROCKER WAKE
it enables waking the phone by pressing the volume rocker EITHER up/down.
There is no way to specify one or the other
However, it works great ! I'm really liking CM9, my only complaint is the missing HTC Camera which was just amazing with the hardware burst (I'm still looking for a way to flash it if that's even possible).
same
same here. hate this button
It amazes me that this button layout made it to production. Did they forget to test it before mass producing them? It's horribly uncomfortable to reach up there and press it. Only takes one awkward reach to realize that.

agreed, it really is amazing. It like nobody ever tried pressing it before they started rolling the phones off the line. How could you not notice it sucks?
Not an issue with my speck case, the button sticks out plenty far. The button would have been better placed just above the volume rocker tho.

Found issue! Need to come up with solution...
So my HOX had great "clicky" unlock button that now all of a sudden is "soft". I was so bothered by it that I took the phone apart and found the issue. On the actual switch there is supposed to be a small dot on the bubble portion of the switch. If you look at the volume switch on the right side you should see what it should look like. This dot is something looks like it was stuck on on the exterior of the bubble surface so I am trying to think of a solution. Maybe a dot of crazy glue? Any ideas?
If you use crazy glue, chances are, the area of pressure on the bubble is going to increase, possibly not allowing the bubble to rebound.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
My fix...
Yeah glue didn't work. What I did was get a tiny piece of strong tape, actually used a piece from some industrial strength velcro, and added my own little dot on the bubble. Now it works better that ever! There is a site that sells the actual power button so if this doesn't work for a long perios of time I will just end up replacing the switch. The image of the button shows the little black dot that I was missing on mine.

I guess the only way to fix it is with a case. To be fair though, it's no where near as bad as my old inc S. The power button on that was pretty much flush and really mushy too.

Am I the only one whose Motorola G has a loose power button? It's not that big of a deal, but it makes a hollow noise if I shake the phone slightly. The volume buttons are fine though.
Am I just being paranoid?

Nope. You're not the only one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547293, http://www.modaco.com/topic/366780-power-button-rattle/
The buttons on mine wiggle a little as well. And according to the reviews that I have read and watched that seems to be a normal thing with this phone.
I suppose this is just part of the lower price point. And to be honest, I can live with wigglin' buttons as long as the phone works well^^ And the buttons still work perfectly fine and "feel right" when you press them, it's not like they feel mushy. So it's perfectly fine in my opinion.

I agree. It's one of those things I didn't really notice until it was pointed out by someone else. How often do you pick up your phone and shake it anyway?! I actually think the buttons feel quite good - nice and "clicky"!

Exactly, they do feel "clicky"^^ I've tested devices before where the buttons were so mushy and weird, half the time you couldn't tell whether you actually pressed the button correctly or not...
I don't care about the wigglin', as long as the buttons give me the feedback that I actually pressed them I am perfectly happy.

That's exactly how my old Desire HD was. It sometimes took 2/3 goes to turn on the screen because I wasn't sure if I pressed the button or not... That and the button being in a stupid place!

I have a similar issue.. my power button is tighter than my volume rocker which seems very loose and rattles even when I am just handling the phone! Annoying!
Should I try get an exchange or is this common perk of the MG?

It's a common thing. That and the mediocre camera are probably what we could put into the "you get what you pay for" box.
But in exchange for that we got Gorilla Glass 3, a more than solid quadcore CPU and a 720p display for under 200 bucks (if you got the 8gb version)! And while the buttons wiggle they still have a nice clicky feedback.
If you want a phone with better build quality you should buy a phone within a different price range^^ But to be honest, I expected the build quality to be much worse. This actually strikes me as a pretty solidly built phone.
Take the back off, slide in a tiny bit of paper down the buttons, re-attach back, no more rattling

The camera is, surprisingly enough, relatively decent. I reckon that Motorola's skinned camera app is at fault, which is why everyone is quibbling over such subtle minutia. A phone with a five megapixel camera that snaps decent photos is more than enough for most people.
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The camera is alright. It's good enough for sharing some photos on social networks and that is all you really need it for anyway^^
It's obvious that they tried to cut some corners with the camera but they didn't go too far with it. It's still a useful camera and not just utter garbage.
