I have just bought this device yesterday, brand new and i noticed that the power key is bit fragile like it's moving slightly sideways when i move my finger on it, is this okay or do i need to worry? If it's not the case with everyone?
Its wobbly same as S21 ultra.

Okay, so i will keep using it since it's not only me. It's strange to see this on a flagship device, but volume rockers looks fine.

Alright, thank you so much for confirming that
My power button just popped off into my lap as I changed cases when the device was only a few months old. A few months later, my volume rocker also popped off. I ordered replacements through AliExpress and popped them back on and have experienced no further issues, despite snapping it repeatedly into and out of several different cases.

Are these keys easily replaceable without needing to unseal the device?
Yeah I was skeptical as to whether the button would stay in place, but it just popped in and has remained despite the fact that I insert and remove the phone from its case(s) daily.
Never had a issue, and I have had it since it first came out.. Plus in has been in a case from day one.

The volume buttons on my NS seem a little loose and rattle a bit, more than compared to my Vibrant. Anyone else have this? Just the way it's designed or a defect?
Otherwise, very impresses with the NS so far!
Pretty solid on mine, no give and does not rattle even if I shake it.
Pretty solid.. and I'm not going to shake it or do something to possible make it worse!
Mine rattles like crazy and it's super annoying. I guess if others don't do this then I should exchange mine.

Hmm, not good then, lol. I hope my BB has more in stock to do an exchange... Compared to my power button, the volume button(s) are very loose, make a rattling sound every time I even slightly touch it.

mine is but im ok with it. My unlocked one does the same the power button is not loose while the volume button is.
Nothing wrong with mine, no noise or rattle.

exchange it, my vibrant had the same issue and i got one with sturdy buttons
What a pain. I just had everything customized and setup the way I like it and now I have to wipe it and get a replacement because of a crappy plastic volume button.
But at least there is a retail location to handle an exchange unlike the N1.

Fold a small piece of paper, take the back cover off, slip it in the gap of the volume rocker that goes into the hard back of the phone and that takes care of the problem

hahaha it worked for the vibrant and it works for this too =D
Many galaxies have this. Not a big deal for me.
Thx, that's a good idea re: the paper.
I was actually able to exchange mine today no problem, but had to drive 40 minutes to another BB that had a few in stock. This new one has a slightly loose volume button, but not as bad as the first one.
Mine is a little loose then my vibrant but I can live with it
just shook the hell out of mine. no rattle. have a vibrant, also doesnt rattle.
Eh... mine Just started to rattle. Not if I shake it, but if anything touches it. If I lightly touch it it will rattle. As if there isn't enough spring tension or more like the button is to small for the slot in the case. This is going to bug the hell out if me. I love this phone and its all finally customized how I want! Should I wipe and exchange it, or will they think I am crazy?
Same problem here.
The volume buttons are quite loose and I hear some rattle when I shake it.
But that's Samsung.
I know in some cases the Nexus One had problems with the power button, but at least there were no loose parts.
So I went to best buy to see if the loose button was just how its made or a defect. The employee took a few nexus's out of the boxes and they all had the same "loose feeling". Maybe loose is the wrong word; it just isn't solid like the power button. So I guess were just stuck with it. This is still a hell of a phone, just had some pretty high build quality expectations following my N1.

Yes, mine does too... It's now annoying me so much that I'm just about to head off to the store that I bought it from; to exchange it for another...
Mine too, also applies to the volume rocker button, although not quite as much. Why can't these things be under more tension?

How did that go? Find a tighter one?

my power button also rattles this is the second thread i have read with people explaining the same rattle
My power button wobbles a little if I wiggle it, but neither it nor the volume rocker make any sounds.
STOP SCARING ME ! I'm from Romania and if my phone comes with defects it's going to be a looong time till it heads back to Italy and get a replacement ( +money spent on shipping it from RO to IT and the other way around )
My power button and my volume rocker do not wobble in any way, they are perfectly tight. Who knows if that will change in the future though?
It was discovered on another forum that the white version has tight buttons with no play. The black ones seem to suffer from a loose power button and a bit less so with the volume button. Does this seem to apply to everyone here?

My black 16gb has a loose power button. It works fine, but if I push it side to side it has noticeable movement. If I shake the phone and put my ear right up to it there is a small rattling noise.
Out of curiosity I checked buttons on my xperia sp and my note 8.0 and noticed other buttons on these devices such as volume button and power button had some movement as well. It doesn't effect the way the nexus looks or the way it works, so it doesn't bother me as long as it's not a defect and as long as it functions for the life of the device.
I emailed google support and got this response:
"Hello Lee,
Thank you for contacting Google about your Nexus 5. We are very glad to hear that you love the device! I am happy to answer your question about the power button.
By design, the power button does have a little 'wiggle' room. If however, you are having any issues with the ability to get the power button to function normally, please let us immediately.
If you have further questions, please reply to this email or feel free to call us at 1-855-836-3987 (855-36-NEXUS).
Thanks,
Sam

My power button seems a lil loose as well but works fine. I checked a few at the tmobile store and theirs were the same way so i think its normal. Have heard the white ones have tight power buttons tho

I have a white nexus 5 and both power and volume are loose. This doesn't effect it at all and I'm not sure whether it was from my case (spigen ultra hybrid) when I take it out to change the back/clean, but I'm worried that if it was just from the case, how strong are the buttons and how long will it last?

Buttons Are ceramic and are wedged deep inside the phone chassis ensuring it won't just fall off

I've heard some with the exact opposite theory. It's random and has been reported on red models even. Manufacturing tolerances.

All of a sudden today my power button became loose and now rattles. Rattles loud enough where I can here a foot away. I went to the Verizon store and all the gun metal ones had a very little rattle. Anyone having an issue with a loose power button?
No.mine moves a little, but I can't hear it..
I've been in two different Verizon stores and they had several ones that the rattling power buttons. Over 2 dozen between the two stores.
That's crazy.mines fine

Glad yours is fine. I just can't believe what I went through to get one that send fine so far. But mine went bad after 5 days. I hope no one else had this issue. I can't believe I'll be the only one though.
Just realized mine rattles today,had it less than a week,heard it while I was on the phone...not sure if swapping for a new one would help.
thoughts?

Go ahead and exchange. Have them check the stock in the back. Then cross your fingers that it won't happen again. Or return and wait to purchase one later. I've had luck so far on my replacements power button but my volume rocker one is kinda loose.. Not sure what I'm doing yet..pita I'm on my third replacement
Mine doesn't rattle at all. However it does seem to be sunk in a bit. I can rub my finger along the top and not feel the button at all.

Yah, unfortunately just like the original the power buttons have inconsistencies. I've seen then raised up nice to being flush.

I'd noticed that the darker m8s have the recessed button.. I have that and my fiancee has the silver.. Even the display models show it.
M8, nuff said.
I've noticed the same thing with the two colors. I just don't want mine to rattle bad.
Well, mine just started rattling today...
I have a rattling power button as well. If I move my finger across the button it moves from side to side. It doesn't bother me too much but I'm worried that it will eventually fall off. Should I ignore it or get it replaced?
The phone that I received initially had a loose volume toggle. I was able to get it swapped for a new one without any difficulties at a store.
Certainly if it is in the first 14 days, the replacement should be extremely easy. Not sure how much of a hassle it will be with later warranty support.
Just swapped out mine for the rattling power button as well as the right side of the screen coming loose causing a squeak. Spoke to a rep on the phone yesterday who said they don't have replacement devices for the m8 yet. Hopefully they will soon, but I would recommend anyone who is having issues to swap it out before your 14 days is up. Hopefully I'm wrong but I have a feeling all the current M8's will have the rattle issue eventually until the issue is resolved in the next batch.
I bought 3 s6 devices unlocked International Version, and on two of them the home button is slightly Wiggly. Is this normal or did I get two bad ones?
Mine moves a little. Never noticed it until now lol

Mines pretty solid, then again after the loose power button on my N5 every button feels solid lol.

Mine is loose since day one. I can tell you it has no effect on performance of the button click itself, it's just annoying. I've repaired home buttons before it it's because the glass wasn't pushed down enough. We're talking about a mm of difference. Unless it stops working completely, I suggest don't worry about it.

An XDA member recommended to press on it hard and it would supposedly solve the issue. Yes, button works perfectly but it's very annoying because sammy made a "premium device" and to have a clickly home button makes no sense...
Hi guys, I have been using the Flip 3 for a few days and noticed that when the phone is fully folded, the two parts of the phone can move slightly.
I first noticed this when I tried to use Samsung Pay with the phone folded, and when I pushed the power button, the top part of the phone body shifted a bit.
I wonder if anyone else noticed this on their flips?
I just tried wiggling mine when it's closed but it's solid, no movement at all.

The bottom part it's a little loose on mine. I can see it move a little from the hinge when it's folded. Defective.

I had another one before this and the hinge was so loose, it almost opened by itself. Good for people who want to flip it with one hand. It's lottery with this phones. If you are not lucky...
i got the same thing, when closed the move can move a litle bit to the left or right, when openend i dont have any movement.

Thanks for your input. I reckon it's within normal tolerance as it is a moving part after all. It's fine to me since once the phone is open, there's no budge
I have two Flip 3. One Flip has this problem. The other not. Samsung itself only offered me to send the device back and then buy a new one.
How did you get on with Samsung on this? Mine has started doing it!
Mine does it as well. About 1 mm at the most. I'm sure this is within tolerance. Those that don't probably will at some point. It's completely normal that the hinge loosens a bit with use.
Yep tiny bit of movement so acceptable/expected I guess
No movement on mine. I got it day 1 and it's gotten some pretty heavy use.
Had mine since Sep 3rd and when there's no case on there's zero movement, though with the offical leather case the two halves have some slight play(might be due to the case providing more of a bumper along the screen).
Hey all,
Happens on mine as well.
Before this one, I had another unit for testing purposes and that wan't wasn't moving at all. Mine moves a little bit... not worried to much about it, but it's there.
Mine has a bit of play, it also has the tapping sound when running my finger across the top from what sounds like the screen Separating.
