Power and Volume buttons - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that they have poor tactile feedback but has anyone else noticed that the power button feels much 'looser' compared to the volume buttons? Or is it just mine?
Thanks!

Looking closely at mine while moving them back and forth, I really can't tell if one is looser than the other. They seem to be the same to me.

Mine are the same. Cant tell any real difference between them.

Mine is the opposite. The power key is so tight n difficult to press that I had great difficulty in pressing it with a protective case I was using.

Is that the case or the phone doing that? My Tudia case makes my button hard to press but it's the case. I actually like the case for that, but it wouldn't work for some people. My wife has trouble pushing the button in.

I think it was a mixture of my phone's button being too tight and my cubix case being brand new. I had a similar case for my moto g 1st Gen but didn't have such problems. But for this phone it was a tedious task! So I am using the phone without the case.
I wish we also had the double tap to wake feature on this phone like the zenfone 2 series!

Both buttons on mine seem about the same. But between my buttons I have slight light leakage ?

Cimo S-Line Back Flexible TPU Case for HTC One X (AT&T) - Clear

Bought thIs last week for my AT&T one x
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WGFNHU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It's actually clear and not grey like the pic. I haven't tried the diztronic, but this one is better than any silicone or soft shell hard case I've ever used. Sides have grips and doesn't stick to my jeans or slacks pockets. It's sturdy and holes line up. Doesn't interfere with my bestskinsever screen protector either.i can set it on a surface upside down and only the case touches. Very thin compared to silicon or hard shell.
Best thing is it doesn't hide the beautiful white one x!!!!
I had the same one and it turned yellow pretty quick, I did really like the case though.

Oops lol. How quick?
I have that case in white. I like the protection it offers but the edges can irritate the palm after holding it for long enough.
its so hard to press the power key with this.. urghh... really liked it though. but pressing the power key is a mission itself
I have the blue one and love it. No color distortion after about a month. The power button is slightly hard to press, the volume rocker is a killer though. Near impossible

I have the black one and have had it since I got the phone on launch day. No issues with it, it's made for the international so not everything is 100% perfect but it's close and never had issues with any cables, etc. No problems pressing power/volume on mine either.
This case changes color quick for some reason..

Mine lasted about a month then the clear started to yellow really bad. I did really like the case other than that however.

I just got the clear case today and I really like it. But is it just me or does it cover the second noise-cancelling mic on the back? Am I mistaken that it's under the power button on the back of the AT&T version?

That is the pin hole to take out the sum tray. The second mic is by the headphone jack

Just got the black one today, and it's pretty good, especially for $2. Must say though, the grip irritates my hand offer a while.

I heard my phone creak every time I put it on or took it off... Scared I might cause a stress fracture, I moved onto to cases made specifically for the AT&T version.
Just a heads up for you guys interested in buying this case.

Had mine since a week from phone release and doing just fine. No color distortion here. Power button a little tough to push but volume rocker is no problems at all. Overall a decent case to keep showing of the white of the phone.

I have the clear one and the thing is yellow now. It also seems like the case was made for the international version because the camera cut out and micro USB plug are just slightly off and not centered, either that or its just the quality of the case.

Can you fix a jammed button?

For Christmas I got an otterbox case. I was happy about it and have had it on ever since, but when cleaning my one x screen I went to click the lock/power button and noticed it didn't click in like it used to and seemed a little bit harder to push. Its not really a problem but it aggravates me. Is there anyway to fix it?
Sent from Megadoug13's Nuclear Device
Is the button itself jammed in? If you can't pop it out with something very fine, you might have to disassemble the phone to see what the state of the button looks like.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well if I take the very edge of my finger nail (hard enough cause I hardly have any) and push I can feel it click... But with the pad of my finger it seems really hard to push. I won't put my otterbox case back on because I'm afraid of further damage

Do you think this could be causing your vibration problem in your other thread you created.

Yep, another thing is a few gentle flicks in combination with a good jet of compressed air.

No because the vibration problem happened before my jammed button. It seems to only vibrate it if try multitasking excessively... Going between facebook, texting, internet, gmail. It doesn't happen that much

So did you have the case off when it felt harder to push?

I noticed it was hard to push on my case after a few hours of use but I thought okay rubber... Its gonna take a little bit more, after a day or two it seem really difficult to push my power/lock button. So last night I took my case off and realized my button didn't click anymore, it works just doesn't click which makes it hard to use :/
Sent from Megadoug13's Nuclear Device
A number of people have had that problem. Your options are to live with it or replace it. I know there's at least one guy in this forum it completely stopped on him and now he just runs roms that support sleep to wake lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Like you said before, it might be the rubber getting in the way while you have the case on. By design, the power button is kinda hard to press anyways and feedback on that button is questionable at best. I have the Platinum Series case from Best Buy, and after 3 months of great use, the power tab broke off (After reading alot of feedback on that happening ..)
I've since moved to Elemental Kernel which enabled swipe to lock and unlock. Works a lot better than the button IMO. Only time you would need to use the power button in that case would be to reboot your phone.
I used to have an otterbox. Hated it. Once the rubber gets loose, you'll replace it and see that your buttons are fine. It's just the design of the case and the phone. The phone power button is actually kind of slightly down and not flat so it should be pushed in at an angle. The rubber button doesn't press at this angle until it gets pushed all the way down.
I am having this same issue. I purchased the phone used from a guy who used an otterbox case. I took the case off immediately when I bought it. There was gunk caked into the front camera, and the power button is tough to depress. I am rooted, so I doubt I can bring the phone back to AT&T.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Spigen galaxy s4 home button sticker

So I just got a pack of 3 in and I installed it, with the tape and such...
Anyways there's an arrow where the adhesive seems to be do I remove that or something? I didn't and it seems to be kinda wobbly since the adhesive doesn't cover the whole home button makes it a little uneven... not that bad but I was just wondering if it was just me or is that how it is

The aluminum ones

I got these and love them! I have the red one on right now, but I don't remember if the arrow comes off... There definitely is adhesive on the back of the aluminum button, so additional adhesive is unnecessary. Here is a pic, taken with my fiance's RAZR M, so it's not S4 quality, lol.
I've got these buttons and love them but my black one of already losing some push it's stickiness. I keep having to push it back into position

I've got the generic aluminium buttons off ebay and they work great, also, they are really cheap.
What's the point of this?? I don't get it....
is it just to change the color or is there a "functional" use for it?

I can't comment on the aluminum buttons, but I need the raised home button for ease of access. With the screen protector and the fact that the raised lip of my case is so close to the home button, it's too recessed for easy pressing.
The raised button solves all that.

Build quality

My power button is almost flush with the rest of the edge of the tablet. Is that normal?
Left speaker cover also has some play in it. Wondering if I should go get another unit.
The power button should be flush, but there shouldn't be any movement in the speaker grills

Thanks. Not trying to be picky but it was an expensive tablet and I tend to keep devices for a while.
At this price you shouldn't keep anything that isn't built correctly.

Do the volume buttons stick out more than the power button?

My power button seems harder and harder to press after one week of use.

My volume button protrudes a fraction of 1mm further than the power button, as well. I'm betting this is by design, the same way power button is textured....this helps you differentiate the two while fumbling for buttons in your pocket.
My power button is no harder to press or protruding any less than it was the day I bought it. The difference between the two was one of the first things I noticed when I unboxed it, and I think it's a terrific design choice!!

Does the power feel much softer? Is there any way to bypass using the power button without rooting?

Yeah, power button has a slight click to it, but it's waay softer... i actually like the feel of the volume buttons more.
I hardly use the power button.. thanks to Moto Display
