Hello everyone! So when I went to test out the Pixel at a Verizon store, I noticed that the power button felt solidly in place, yet the the volume rocker piece was slightly loose. Later on, I went ahead and bought the Pixel and realized that my buttons were solid. However after only a week of use, I have noticed that while the power button stays in place, the volume rocker wiggles slightly. Is this normal in any of the other Pixel's? Let me know what you think, thanks!

Sure, mine moves a little. It will even rattle if I shake it, but I have to be in a near silent room to hear it. I'm not worried about it in the slightest.

I am unable to watch a video on the Desktop dock. When I put the Epic into the dock it hits the volume rocker and it then turns the volume to mute. On a couple of occasions I have been able to barely put it in and it will play at what ever volume but once I touch it and mutes it again.
Anyone having a better experience with it?
Thanks

ive got said dock. same issues. totally cuz the volume rocker is hitting the cradle in just the right manner. ive just gotten really good at putting it in at just the right angle to not hit it, but your right. if i touch pretty much anything, it starts to turn the volume down all the way. what i do when im not going to try to have a movie playing is always make sure the screen is off. the dock will turn on the screen about a few seconds after its plugged in. it shouldnt be this big of a pain in the ass and im thinking about taking the dock back. i think its a legitimate reason.

I didn't have any of these problems with mine and was wondering what everyone was talking about.
That is until I took my phone charm off. Apparently the tiny string the charm uses is enough to keep the phone from hitting the volume and causing problems.
That being said, you can control volume, too, through the function and arrow keys on the keyboard. It helps but it is still annoying if you don't have a charm and keep hitting the hardware volume keys.
(My charm is ninja stars, so not all charms are "girly".)
ya. i had an old psp wrist strap on and noticed it kept it from happening too, but the strap is kinda garish and i didnt want it on there all the time. im still on the fence about taking it back.
I put three layers of electrical tape along the right half of the groove, just before it dips down for the volume keys (alas, not down far enough.) It works great for me... since I was going to cover that bright blue light anyway.
Did a quick search and didn't find too much..
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my volume buttons started to feel soft. Mostly volume down and nowadays the volume up button is sticking and makes a louder click when it comes back out. Both still work for now.
And now within the past couple days, my power button pretty much lost all of its clickyness. As in it still works, but doesn't hardly move at all and is now harder to turn the screen on and off. Anyone else noticing these common trends?
My volume down button was like that for a while. I took off the back cover and used a can of compressed air to try and force any dirt and/or dust out from under the button. It took several tries, but the buttons all work fine now. Hope it helps.

Didnt notice it before (only after i played around with the camera manual tapping to focus) but on home screen while tapping on the back and home buttons it causes an vibration. but just now notice that along with the vibration there is a slight "rattling sound" (maybe a lose part, maybe in camera?)
shaking the tablet doesnt affecting the rattling
so far only pressing home and back button causes the rattling.
Does anyone have similar issues?
Any Feedback?
UPDATE: its not the camera, when listening closer i narrow the rattling sound to the top right corner of the tablet. maybe its the vibration motor?
Uh... contents may have shifted during shipping?
You going to return it for a new one or try more extensive tests, like adding feedback to on-screen keyboard presses?

tried the keyboard method and yes its still there...
damn and BB doesnt have any in stock near by...gotta wait for shipping =[
Edit: Read your OP too fast and now realized you said only when it vibrates. Sorry! Guess RMA is the only way to go for something like that.
I've noticed that the volume rocker on the top right rattles when I shake my tablet. Hold the volume rocker lightly and shake it again and you probably won't here any rattling. I thought something was loose internally as well but it simply is the rocker. I don't feel this is a defect but simply a poor design on Asus's part. Hope this helps!
Is everyone's volume rocker and power button almost flush? Idk if this is an issue.
They're meant to be.

theyre not hard to press and they are aesthetically pleasing. do you really want giant stickout buttons?
My power button sticks out a bit more than the volume rocker. I do however notice the volume up button sticks out a tiny bit more than the volume down. The volume down is completely flush with the device.
Mine is equal all around. Do you take off your back?
No i have never taken off the back on mine. It was just shipped to me like that.
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.
