I'm on my second one x and can't remember having this issue with my previous one.
But next to the volume rocker there is a thin piece of plastic that is attached to the back shell. On mine it is very very squishy and almost feels like its not connected. Makes very noticeable sounds as well. More of an annoyance than anything but it almost seems like its harder to adjust volume as the rocker seems In the side of the phone deeper.
This the norm for everyone?

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you are describing with the thin plastic piece. I don't have any issues with my rocker. It's got a much lower profile than other phones I have owned but I kinda like it, makes the HOX more streamlined.
Ya sorry. Hard to explain its the thin strip to the left of rocker closest to screen. That is all soft and pushes in.

Ah I gotcha. Yeah I just checked mine, it gives a little bit but it's nothing that would worry me.

The volume buttons on my NS seem a little loose and rattle a bit, more than compared to my Vibrant. Anyone else have this? Just the way it's designed or a defect?
Otherwise, very impresses with the NS so far!
Pretty solid on mine, no give and does not rattle even if I shake it.
Pretty solid.. and I'm not going to shake it or do something to possible make it worse!
Mine rattles like crazy and it's super annoying. I guess if others don't do this then I should exchange mine.

Hmm, not good then, lol. I hope my BB has more in stock to do an exchange... Compared to my power button, the volume button(s) are very loose, make a rattling sound every time I even slightly touch it.

mine is but im ok with it. My unlocked one does the same the power button is not loose while the volume button is.
Nothing wrong with mine, no noise or rattle.

exchange it, my vibrant had the same issue and i got one with sturdy buttons
What a pain. I just had everything customized and setup the way I like it and now I have to wipe it and get a replacement because of a crappy plastic volume button.
But at least there is a retail location to handle an exchange unlike the N1.

Fold a small piece of paper, take the back cover off, slip it in the gap of the volume rocker that goes into the hard back of the phone and that takes care of the problem

hahaha it worked for the vibrant and it works for this too =D
Many galaxies have this. Not a big deal for me.
Thx, that's a good idea re: the paper.
I was actually able to exchange mine today no problem, but had to drive 40 minutes to another BB that had a few in stock. This new one has a slightly loose volume button, but not as bad as the first one.
Mine is a little loose then my vibrant but I can live with it
just shook the hell out of mine. no rattle. have a vibrant, also doesnt rattle.
Eh... mine Just started to rattle. Not if I shake it, but if anything touches it. If I lightly touch it it will rattle. As if there isn't enough spring tension or more like the button is to small for the slot in the case. This is going to bug the hell out if me. I love this phone and its all finally customized how I want! Should I wipe and exchange it, or will they think I am crazy?
Same problem here.
The volume buttons are quite loose and I hear some rattle when I shake it.
But that's Samsung.
I know in some cases the Nexus One had problems with the power button, but at least there were no loose parts.
So I went to best buy to see if the loose button was just how its made or a defect. The employee took a few nexus's out of the boxes and they all had the same "loose feeling". Maybe loose is the wrong word; it just isn't solid like the power button. So I guess were just stuck with it. This is still a hell of a phone, just had some pretty high build quality expectations following my N1.

Well, the Nexus 1 did have a big problem regarding the power button.

I noticed that when pressing the bottom buttons or holding the phone sometimes will result in a squeak. The one at the T-Mobile store did this too. A little annoying.
There's only 3 buttons on this phone. Power button and volume rocker up/ down. Perhaps you're pressing your screen too hard. I have heard no squeaks. I also use a screen protector and a case though.

Okay, cool. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Guess I wont send my phone back afterall; forbid me getting a replacement that doesn't work.

I don't care how hard I push anything on the Sensation I have, it doesn't squeek.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
unfortunately, mine has the sqeak as well.
Mine doesn't squeak but it definitely feels a little loose. A nice gel skin case solves that though.
Mine creaks very very slightly when I press certain areas of the battery cover, but nothing more than that.
it doesn't squeek.
So far......
Mine doesn't squeak but does make a clicking sound and feel when I press the bottom buttons.... Three replacements and all have done it. Pissed me off that a high end phone does this.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
it is known that after taking the back cover on and off a couple times the sensation starts to squeak...but this is easily fixed with adding a thin layer of paper within the backcover or just tape it (keep the antennas open)
I bought a d3o case for my daughters sk4g and add soon as I put it on it started messing up. Screen went blank and started vibrating these weird pulses. I looked on here but couldn't find anything.
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
u removed it to see if it mad a difference?
uhm yes, it doesnt freak out unless you put the d3o case on. then it starts vibrating these weird pulses and the screen goes blank.
is it a hard case or soft? becuase sometimes the case my be pressing on the power button and pressing on the volume button
you know that does make since. those d3o cases are real stiff, especially the buttons. I read somewhere that people were cutting those buttons out with a exacto detail knife. I guess I will try to pry it away from my daughter to look closer at those buttons.
Yeah that what happens to hardcase that's why I used the soft cover

Alright guys. Here's the deal. This is my fourth warranty replacement for a faulty flexing screen. So, I'd like you guys to do a little test for me and see if it really IS the phone that's broken, or if that happens on all phones.
Please, if you could, do some medium-hard pressing in the middle of the screen (Not too hard, as you'll break it), and around the middle of the screen. Also, if you could, try the edges and see how easy it is to cause rippling along the edges (Mine takes fairly light pressure to get rippling). I'm noticing that there are BIG ripples in the center of the screen with some medium pressure. Is this normal? if this shouldn't be happening, I'm gonna freak out on AT&T.
Thanks guys!
Nothing on mine no matter how hard I press

I have the same problem as well I have a defender otterbox case, and when I press on the right side moderately easy it flexes, I see 1 line against white background I am the middle of the screen. The if I press a tad bit harder on the right side I get 2 ripple lines. I do not get it when I press in the middle or on the left side. Screen flex is an issue with the one x. Do some searching and you will see.. I might send mine in to square trade as mine is not going away..anyone think I will get refunded by square trade for screen flex flaw.?
Can't reproduce this through normal usage on mine, nor see a reason where this would be an issue for me.

It's the case.reviewers have mentioned that the otterbox cases might be pushing too hard on the screen as it proturdes out...
Better off with tpu cases like.. cruzaline?
There are non branded ones for like 2 bucks on eBay. Protects camera and screen well enough.
Used that on my desire HD for almost 2 years.Not one visible scratch...
Have dropped my one x like 6 times now, and I dolt have to worry much. The phone is protected in all areas. Unless I drop it on really unbalanced grouns flat on it's screen.
But then again, the one x screen can also work as a hammer, if youve ever seen that vid.

Are you referring to display distortion? If so, i have not had that. If you are talking about how firm the screen is glued to the shell, then I do have a mild defect on the form and fit but I haven't deemed it for replacement yet.
mine jiggles about audibly. anyone else?
nope?
Yes, mine does too... It's now annoying me so much that I'm just about to head off to the store that I bought it from; to exchange it for another...
Mine too, also applies to the volume rocker button, although not quite as much. Why can't these things be under more tension?

my power button also rattles this is the second thread i have read with people explaining the same rattle
My power button wobbles a little if I wiggle it, but neither it nor the volume rocker make any sounds.
STOP SCARING ME ! I'm from Romania and if my phone comes with defects it's going to be a looong time till it heads back to Italy and get a replacement ( +money spent on shipping it from RO to IT and the other way around )
My power button and my volume rocker do not wobble in any way, they are perfectly tight. Who knows if that will change in the future though?
It was discovered on another forum that the white version has tight buttons with no play. The black ones seem to suffer from a loose power button and a bit less so with the volume button. Does this seem to apply to everyone here?

My black 16gb has a loose power button. It works fine, but if I push it side to side it has noticeable movement. If I shake the phone and put my ear right up to it there is a small rattling noise.
Out of curiosity I checked buttons on my xperia sp and my note 8.0 and noticed other buttons on these devices such as volume button and power button had some movement as well. It doesn't effect the way the nexus looks or the way it works, so it doesn't bother me as long as it's not a defect and as long as it functions for the life of the device.
I emailed google support and got this response:
"Hello Lee,
Thank you for contacting Google about your Nexus 5. We are very glad to hear that you love the device! I am happy to answer your question about the power button.
By design, the power button does have a little 'wiggle' room. If however, you are having any issues with the ability to get the power button to function normally, please let us immediately.
If you have further questions, please reply to this email or feel free to call us at 1-855-836-3987 (855-36-NEXUS).
Thanks,

My power button seems a lil loose as well but works fine. I checked a few at the tmobile store and theirs were the same way so i think its normal. Have heard the white ones have tight power buttons tho

I have a white nexus 5 and both power and volume are loose. This doesn't effect it at all and I'm not sure whether it was from my case (spigen ultra hybrid) when I take it out to change the back/clean, but I'm worried that if it was just from the case, how strong are the buttons and how long will it last?

Buttons Are ceramic and are wedged deep inside the phone chassis ensuring it won't just fall off

I know it won't fall off as such but more if it becomes loose and stops functioning

I've heard some with the exact opposite theory. It's random and has been reported on red models even. Manufacturing tolerances.
