the power button of my phone feels a little bit fragile. is it normal? it feels like pressing a key on a keyboard. I just want to confirm whether if the power button is softer than other model. or is it a factory defect? i don't want to return this unless I am sure that this is a factory defect.

My Transformer power button feels a little lose compared to the volume button... is the power button like this on all Eepads or should I exchange mine? works fine but it feel weird...
TIA!
I have two, and both of them have power buttons that are solid, as are the volume buttons. If exchanging it is an option, I think that's a good idea. I don't think you'd want to find one day that you are unable to turn the thing on because the power button's come completely loose or something.
My power button is slightly loose as well. I work at Best Buy, and our demo model is slightly loose too. I think it's just luck of the draw. I doubt it will ever pop off or anything, but it's definitely not as tight as the volume knockers on some models.
Same here, my power button is slightly loose too. Bought it a couple weeks ago, B70 SBK2.
Although I'm not afraid of the button malfunctioning, y try to use it as little as possible, just like in all of my gadgets.
Its probably the weakest point on all of them, along with batteries. (Imo)

Hey all! Just something bothering me for a bit but I just wanted someone or preferably a few people to check and confirm something that may be a problem with my Note. Is the power button raised lower than the volume buttons? I say this because the volume buttons extrude out further and are more rigid than the power button on my note. To be honest this does make pressing the power button easier, but once again, just checking. This doesn't affect the Note in anyway, just something on my mind. Thanks for any replies!

That's how mine is too.. power button is half the height I'd say.
They are all like that. Obviously part of the design to make it easier to find the volume button, and harder to hit the power button by mistake.

All,
I got my Note 5 from big red a few days ago and everything has been fantastic except for the weird resistance with the lock button (right side of device). The volume buttons feel fine and give you a click when depressed, but the lock button basically just sits low and you doesn't have any resistance when you press it. Could this be a broken membrane underneath the button? Should I bring it in to Verizon and get a replacement?
Anyone else having this issue?
Just take it and exchange why troubleshoot it,the phone is brand new. My power button has been fine no issue

Hey guys, yesterday when I pulled my phone out of my pocket, I noticed the power button wasn't working. Upon closer inspection, it is jammed and will only register a press if I really push on it hard. Then I realized the volume buttons were the same exact way, which is strange because the phone has been in a case its entire life and is immaculate. But anyways, has anyone else encountered this? I tried doing a search but no results. The power button works if I really put pressure on it and only the top volume button works if I press it hard as well. The camera button is perfectly fine.
I purchased this phone brand new from T-Mobile November 2014, it may be time to upgrade...
Some cases cause this problems as they put consistent pressure on the buttons
Just experienced this last night. No idea what's caused it. My phone lives in a case with a power button cutout so there's no pressure on it. Odd, and irritating because thus phone is perfect otherwise, and the first one I've ever had that I still liked after 18 months.

Probably either broken button strip, or it has been dislodged from its mountings. You need to remove back cover, then battery and you can see whats going on.
I'm having issues with my power button sticking on my Pixel. Has anyone else seen this?
I don't have a direct response to your problem just an opinion. Seeing as how clicky this power button is, as in how hard it is to depress, that leads me to believe it would be hard to get this thing stuck. I would recommend returning it.
I think every phone is a little different my power button rattles it's loose. I would also recommend replacing it, of the power button is sticking it may get to a point where the phone will keep rebooting it's self until you pry that button loose.

Thanks for the info. I'm afraid that if I return it I'll get a new Pixel that I can't unlock.

Lol don't worry about that all google phones are unlockable. Even if they have the newest firmware so no need to worry.
I've been having quality issues with the power button on my XL. It doesn't really stick, but it felt really mushy most of the times I'd press it in the past 2 weeks making it really hard to double tap for the camera. At some point this weekend, the button has changed its response... it now clicks every time as it should, but sometimes there is a slight click before I even depress the button, resulting in a slight click followed by the actual click when the button is activated. Really annoying... hoping it fixes itself. I don't want to RMA and risk getting a refurb.

Unless you got the new Pixel from Verizon, you will be able to unlock it. I had the sticking power button issue with my old Nexus 5, what I tried was to use a small magnet to kind of 'pull' the power button out. It might work, but it might damage the phone either, so I would recommend to get the device replaced. I'm not sure if you still retain warranty after unlocking the bootloader (I was told otherwise by Google support, but Google India support is usually complete garbage). It worked on Nexus devices so it should work with the Pixel.

I am having similar problems to the point that I had to download a power button app to mitigate the turn off the screen, as sometimes it was impossible to operate the button normally, it won't clic and sometimes it will. Another thing worth mentioning is that the phone works much better almost perfect with the original Pixel Fabric Case (which I hate) and the problems increase with the buttons exposed when using it naked or with a slim case.

I can put an invisible power button on your statusbar if you like and have root.
Maybe... Don't soak it, but try dabbing the power button crevices with a cotton swab and ethanol. Let it dry.... Worth trying before an RMA at least.

I'm having the same issue. Every now and then when I push the power button the power off options come up. Sometimes the phone reboots but gets hung and wont finish booting until I tap the power button a few times to get it unstuck. My sales rep from work told me Verizon should warranty an exchange so im returning it for another phone.
