When I push on the screen directly to the left of the power button, the screen clicks as I release the pressure - as if there is glue that is unsticking itself. This also happens all the way on the other side (left) of the screen parallel to the power button. It's minor, but annoying when you pay full retail for a phone.
Does anyone else have this "problem"?
I don't want to take it to Verizon to have them send me a sketchy CLNR or possibly not consider it a problem and do nothing.
Would tightening the two torx screws on the bottom possibly fix it?
Take it back

If it's the RAZR HD then take it back. That's the most durable, solid phone I've ever had in my hands. It must be defective.
I can't take it back, I've had it since December. I'll get a return and my experience with those when I had a Droid RAZR Maxx was far from acceptable

So I got fed up with the quiet clicking and opened the phone up...underneath the screen are prongs that support the weight of the screen. By pulling the prongs down a few millimeters I have eliminated the clicking noise. I figured I would put a solution up here if anyone gets easily annoyed by build-issues like me.

Does anyone have a quick fix solution, to repair a damaged volume up (replace little aluminum button), without replacing the entire main flex cable? The little aluminum button was damaged, and no longer flexes to contact the PCB. Volume down still works properly. I've searched and the only solution I've seen is replacement of the main ribbon. Please help.
P.S. - I attached an image of the button I'm describing.
Last image did not show up. Hope this one works.
Common problem with the inspire. You have to replace the whole thing including cable that goes to main board. Just about the whole phone has to be disassembled and the new part put in. I know the actual part is pretty cheap. Not a simple task though and no quick fix.

So the dome is cracked in half? Looks like it. One suggestion, maybe try some solder to "fuse the dome back together, maybe just maybe... Otherwise I use flex circuits at my work and I have some of those domes but they are bigger. I could send you some and maybe you could trim it?
One thing I just fixed on my Inspire, the down button wasn't working real well. The domes were fine just had to press real hard. I put a little, thin piece of paper (backing from a sticker) between the little foamy like piece and the flex circuit so the button doesn't move as much when pressed. Worked a charm!
Maybe that will help out others.
If you're unfamiliar, as i was, start at 2:23 on this video and you can how to get the buttons out. Can't post links yet so here's the video title.

Hi ive just repaired my volume flex cable(tore it during digitizer replace) and my volume down button still won't work! After further investigation I noticed that inside the actual housing where the volume button lies there are "painted metal contacts" similar to the ones located on the GPS,simcard cover, and wifi antenna/battery door. I've tried a very small piece of foil with no success, is there some kind of conductive paint for small electronics?

Sensors still work for me
When I was removing the battery to stop a rom that did not work the button or knockers snapped in half. The sensors still work if I reach in there with my nail and I was hoping that there would be a small replacement for these buttons, but I wanted to check here first to make sure that it would not break the sensors and then I would have no way of running AAHK or going into recovery.
Hi, I was curious if other owners have a clicky noise when they press on their battery cover? Its really irritating. I took off my battery cover to see what the problem was and found out its either a loose screw or just the design itself. If I touch anywhere in the "RED" location of the picture I will hear a popping/clicking noise. I was thinking I might need to tighten one of the two "GREEN" screws. But I dont have a small enough screwdriver. Just curious if anyone else noticed this? If Im the only one I was going to pick up a Glasses Repair Kit.
Thanks for any response.
I have no noise when I press on that spot...or any other spot.
You are not alone on this. Most people dont see it until the back cover has been removed several times. Mine started doing it after removing it about half a dozen times. The most common and simple suggestion to fix it is to take a post it note type piece of paper, cut it down to size to fit under the cover where the noise is originating at (where you are touching it to produce the sound). If it doesnt work, try it again. My phone is almost completely silent now. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much. I'll give it a try.

My GNex did that directly under the camera cut out on my battery cover. I got the OEM Samsung extended battery and that fixed it.

Give the slip of paper trick a shot. I know its a dirty solution, but it sure beats hearing that creak all the time and being reminded about it (and its also free).
Mine did that too but it was on the top right hand corner if the screen is facing you. I replaced the back cover with the Samsung flip cover and it eliminated the noise for me. It also made the camera recessed into the back cover which I was very happy about. Maybe it will keep it from getting scratched so easily.

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.
Alright, my skyrocket got the sticky power button issue. I went to take the screws out, and what do you know. They were all stripped already! This phone is refurbished that I got over the summer when my last Skyrocket just died out of nowhere and never turned back on. Since its obviously past the warranty date for refurb, and I don't feel like dishing out 200 bucks for insurance just to upgrade in a few months for the S4, I took the power button out without taking the phone apart. I knew I wouldn't get it back in since the hooks would break, and I can easily access the white button..
but.
I was wondering if there was any way I could rig something over the power button just to make it slightly more convenient to press instead of putting my nail inside the spot where the button used to be.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Or shall I just suck it up.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem, why not just replace the outer power button housing?

You can order it from here. I'm looking into this issue myself since I'm having problems with my power button sticking. Could crazy glue the outer button sleeve to the hooks if you meant those were broken.
I can't really open the casing to put another power button in. The screws are too stripped.
Another question, does CM10.1 have volume wake toggle? I couldn't find it after I tore out my power button so I switched over to Embryo which while is a good rom... Is still touch wiz and doesn't suit me.

Smh..... You took out the power button & stripped the screws stop while you're behind bud take it apart somehow buy new screws use a dental pick and pure rubbing alcohol clean everything around that button because at your rate this thing won't last much longer use the dental pick to clean around the white button itself.

You can get off this thread now. As my post said, I didn't strip them. But thanks for the advice!

FWIW I tried the needle + rubbing alcohol tip to clean around the white power button as suggested but still seem to have the issue - phone is nearly unusable. The volume rocker wake function seems to be moved or missing in the nightly build of CM 10.1 I'm using.

I would personally modify a rubber case, glue a small piece of rubber to the power button on the case then just put the case on and it has two functions #1 you don't have an ugly power button #2 its functional.

I ordered a replacement LCD assembly with frame off eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=190964828803&alt=web
I installed it last night. The screen looks great and mostly works error free... Except where the bottom where the nav bars sit. When I press any of those buttons other press points show up on the screen. (Ie. Press back button and the Hangouts icon lights up also as if they were both pressed at the same time) and opens Hangouts. Press the home button and it presses whatever is in the center of the screen.
Anyone had this happen with a new screen? Is it a bad screen or a bad install?
I emailed he seller and they seemed quite surprised that it isn't 100% functional. They asked me to do a hard reboot and check for broken connectors. Might just pull it back off and get a replacement or a refund.

I found a reputable company locally that can fix it.
Took it in, was told to come back in an hour.
An hour went by and he tells me that the phone is missing the frame (bracket) that holds the ear piece speaker in place..........
The frame I had shipped back had the ear piece fit fine, the original broken glass that I told him I wanted back the ear piece fit fine...
I don't know if I'm missing a piece but he showed me the new frame and there seems to be something missing from his that was on the others.
This N5 is becoming a nightmare.
The part circled in red is supposedly the "bracket" he needs to re-install the ear piece. Yet every frame I see online has one included.
I told him to save my broken glass and I'll deal with it later. (either just use a small adhesive or pull it off the original glass and frame)
Any ideas? This is getting dumb.
Annnnnd to top it all off, he just called, the screen that they had didn't work, has to order another one. It'll be in Monday, with my work schedule I can't pick it up now until Saturday.
