I actually had the same problem with my first unit, I returned it and bought another one with snapdragon and this one doesn't have that problem.
It's clicks normally just like volumes button, does your volume and power button wobbly the same or different?

Mine clicks normal. It's just little wobbly. Maybe a little bit more than volume buttons. But I guess that's normal.

But power button clicks just like volume buttons
The buttons on samsung devices are able to pull off. Try pushing button a bit harder or pull it off and then push it back and it should click into place and sitt properly after and not being lose.

Mine wobbles really tiny bit on both buttons but that's normal. If it wobbles more than this then it's lose and not sitting properly. Which then you can probably push harder on it so it clicks into place or pull off and then push back.
OP use some super glue, problem sorted.
Mine are too. I wonder if its about letting a small gap for cooling.

No it isn't since buttons are sealed. If you pull one off you got a sealed compartment.
You can't have any open area on phone if you want to be able to put it in water. Doing that will cause bubble and water enter the device and shorten it

Is it moving left and right a bit? I believe it's normal that moving parts have some space around to move freely and not rubbing material around them.
In my case they are moving slightly side to side.

So everything was working fine but my volume button seemed to be sticking. So I reset the device hoping it might help, but now it will not turn on at all.
Called ASUS they bumped me up the command chain and I am waiting for a callback.
This sucks.
sometimes it will get stuck in odd modes, try holding the power button for a while (15~20 seconds), then try and start the tab again and make sure it isn't plugged in to your PC.

It was the volume up button that was stuck and my guess still is. The buttons felt weird right out of the box too. Have others been having this issue.
haven't seen any, try and pressing the volume button so it evens out and then booting?
Did as much as I could do with volume no help, if the nvflash mode was on would the screen turn on at all? My device just looks totally dead.
that's indeed what it does with volume up + power on, screen stays dead.
If you enter NVFlash mode, the display does not start up, but if you connect to your PC via USB, you should see an "APX" USB device.
Unfortunately this doesn't help much as there is nothing you can do with it in this mode.
Well I fixed it, would not have done so without your help. I sorta pried open the plastic that wraps around the edge of the device (the bezel its called I guess) with a small screw driver and fiddled around with the volume buttons until the unstuck.

Yeah the gray plastic piece that goes around the edge of the device feels very cheep. It does not stay attached very well which is how I think the volume button got stuck.

Grey plastic piece around the edge? Do you mean the plastic back cover? Cos round the edge of my eee pad its all metal. If its plastic it sounds like you don't have a final retail model.

Mine did that to me too in class, my heart stopped when it wouldnt turn on
I held the power button for about 10 seconds, no success
Let it sit for a few min, then tried it again, then it worked
I may have pressed the power button differently , can remember, like towards the edge
I also may have wiggle the buttons around, not sure, i was freaking out and tried every button combo lol

Now that I look at it it does feel like metal, but its very thin and almost feels like plastic.
Something must have happened during shipping becasue the volume buttons work better now then they did when I first unboxed it
Asus Reset
Try Holding down the Power Button and the Down Volume Button, Everything else seemed to do nothing
Woke up this morning and it appears my TF had entered this "OFF" state. I held the power button for about 10 seconds and it rebooted. I had the lock screen and the wifi notifications turned off so that doesn't seem to be a solution.I Hope this is something that Asus can fix with an update as I bought this from Newegg and I can't return it for a refund...

I assumed that you soldered the button correctly, I would use an ohm meter to test the continuity when the button is pressed and released, just to verify that the button is good and make sure all solder joints are good. If all the above checked out, then the last thing is replace the main board, shop on Ebay for a clean ESN board (price range from 80-90$. I don't know if you want to go all the way or just use xposed app to by pass the button and wait to buy a new one?

Usually, after soldering, you need to verify continuity, sometime you may experiencing cold solder joints, where the lead is there but no contact. The board is coated, so you need to sand down the contact so that when you applied the lead, it will make contact.

So I think i messed something up resoldering it. Now it wont turn on at all. I talked to verizon and they are sending me a new one (for free). What is the best way for me to reformat my phone if it wont turn on.
And
Should i leave the button unsoldered inside the phone. or attempt to resolder it back on so its just there?
I dont want to be charged for tampering with the inside of the phone.
Thanks
Resolder the button back on and send back the dead phone. I'm not worry about the software but messing around with hardware is more concerns.

Hello,
I've noticed that pressing the left side of the home button doesn't activate it, is this normal, or should I use my warranty to get it repaired?
Edit: It does work if you click the left side of it, though I need to press harder, and it feels a bit wiggly.
Thanks.

Anyone else with this issue? Wondering how common is it, and what color is your galaxy? I've heard it's common mostly on black devices.
mine is black....but...my brother got one too and its in black but he doesn't have this issue...his home button is solid...

that's the reason i didn't return my s6, because the home button issue is a small one, i don't wanna change it for another one which maybe have a worse issues....so its not bad, its a bit annoying....
I purchased a gold variant and the first device had a wobbly home button, got it exchanged on the weekend, the 2nd device is not wobbly but the left side is raised more than the right side, however it seems to respond to presses without problems.
Samsung quality control has always been a little shady.. I've returned 2 already... First one no signal... 2nd went back because the home button was very loose and made loud noise when I gently tapped it(not pressed)... 3rd phone has been perfect so far, but I've now noticed after deep sleep sometimes I press the home button and nothing happens... Want wake up until I try pressing again....? Anybody noticed this.... Also the home button went from sturdy to wobbly in about 2 weeks

Ya im just gonna live with it too... Id rather have a questionable home button than a pink screen or something worse... Every year since the Galaxy S3 I have returned a phone for one reason or another... Samsung makes great phones.... But there are always a few faulty ones
My home button works every time no matter where I press on it. It does make a rattling noise if tapped on (without pressing it) and I think it's for the fingerprint scanner...other than the annoying rattling, my home button is fine. Might wanna get that checked out.

Mine doesn't work very well at all. Maybe 40% of the time when pressed. Fingerprint detection isn't that good either.
Thing is, I'm left handed so the fact that it's not clicking well on the left side sometimes requires me to click again and it's a little bit annoying. Oh well.
Mine is too. I have the international variant f.y.i. but i don't want to replace it yet because that's the only problem I've seen in my phone for now.

Got my S7 for about a week now, and I got a small click noise when I press and then release the home button. The click appear somewhere half way when I release it. At first, it only appear on the right side of the button but now I got it on both side. Function wise, there is nothing affected, just a bit unsatisfied whenever I press the button. Has anybody got the same issue on there phone? Should I go trade for a new unit?
Yup mine too. I think it's intentional.
Yea its normal.But i want to ask about your power button if it sticky and solid or a bit little loose when you press him?
It's a button. Naturally it'll make a clicking noise. It's literally a button so it should make a noise by default.

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.

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.
