[Q] power button - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how is your power button after few months of use?
mine is obviously not so stiff anymore, so I am very worried that it won't totally broke with time...

the button is made of some rubber-material on the inside. maybe it wears out after a couple of months. mine is now 4 months old but seems to work like on the first day.
although thats my second razr I. The first had some production-quality issues. one was the power-button, it was kind of pushed into the case on the upper side so it was very difficult to press it.

Nope, I got mine from a user who bought it some months ago, and the power is going strong. The chin of my device creaks I when you press it hard, but no big deal.

[Q] Power Button

Okay, so my power button isn't broke it is still very sensitive and very much intact. But it seems some what lose on the right side of the button but left is very poppy still. I'm not really freaking out about it although I could see it being a major problem down the road just like my iPhone 4. Anyone else have the same problem?
Like it's angled incorrectly? I've got that

My One was like that but I exchanged it.
yeah its angled weird, do you think getting a replacement is worth it? I mean its probably bound to just keep happening. My screen and body at top of phone is flush either. But I am not really worried about either, should I be?
If it doesn't bother you then keep it. I returned mine and got one with a wiggly volume button. It's rare to get one without any problems.
mine doesnt any problems
Only problems on mine are the noted capacitive buttons and the bezel and the screen don't match up on the top so it's a little bit raised.

I just am worried it will stop responding

Build quality issue: screen popped off a tiny bit at the top right corner.

Hey guys,
I bought an HTC One a few days ago and I'm completely satisfied and happy about it. However I have noticed a serious for me problem. The screen popped off (unglued?) at the tip right corner, which is unfortunately the spot I use the most also, as I reach for it with my thumb to bring down the notifications bar all the time. I have been babying the phone like crazy, so I highly doubt I caused this myself.
What do you suggest I do, does it warrant a replacement? It's been 13 days since I've got it, I noticed the problem 2 days ago but like an idiot I hoped it would go away. Actually, it goes away for a little while if I firmly press the screen in for a few seconds. And then it comes back.
Any ideas/recommendations are most welcome guys.
Any advice guys, should I send it for repair or sell it?
Photos?

Wiggly/loose button?

Hi,
I just got the Gear yesterday, and the home/power button is quite wiggly and loose. Just checking in with you all to see if this is normal, or if I should have the unit exchanged for a new one.
Thanks in advance!
Mine is fine I wouldn't say it's wiggly or loose. Possibly not "sturdy" enough to stand the test of time IMHO. But I could be wrong. One thing I don't like about Samsung devices is the lack of a sturdy power button. They all feel mushy and not very distinct. The Gear is not bad though. I've felt worse Samsung power buttons. Use an iPhone power button a few times. Now that is a solid power button pressing experience. Feels sturdy, but with a good tactile feedback.
haha. Nerd alert.
Must be bad quality control.
Mine feels very study. Definitely no worries on it breaking any time soon.

Buttons on the back are a fail...

I don't like the design or placement of the power and volume buttons. I have to fumble to find the right button for the volume. It is not intuitive at all and you have to flip the phone over to look at what you are doing. The power button gets pressed all the time when it is in my pocket. I have had it reboot from the power button being held down in my back pocket more than once. No telling how many times it rebooted consecutively. I hear it powering up and take it out and sure enough it is restarting. It turns the screen on when it is in my shirt pocket. Just a good bounce is enough to activate it. Don't think I would buy another phone with this set up.
Ain't happy about lg locking it down so tight either.
There, I brought the whine, someone else can serve the cheese.
Not to me.

I can say the same thing about the button being on the side. The last LG that I had was always tuning on or off or taking a screen shot of darkness because the button got pressed. I have large hand and I loved hitting the power button or the volume up or down with my fingers while I was in a call. But this is the great thing about this forum you can come and have a rant if you want to.
not everyone is a fan of the LG back button setup
this is the first phone I've had with that, and I am still not used to it after 4 months
I find myself turning the phone around alot as well to see exactly what I am pushing...
I take alot of "unwanted" screenshots by accident, but when I want to actually take one, its sometimes a PITA
The G3 has a nicer back button array, so maybe it will be on the Flex 2 as well
I didn't like it at first especially screenshots but its grown on me. And I notice myself reaching to the back with my index finger on other phones. And also the knock on feature is great. The best thing about the placement of the vol buttons is at work I can turn the vol up or down easier when its in my pocket then when I had a phone with them on the side.

I dig on the buttons and I like the unique characteristic it gives the device. My only complaint is that I smudge up the camera lens every time I miss the volume up button.
I thought one of the reasons the buttons are on the back is becsue of the thin bezels. I've never really had any issue with them. It's kind of funny how some people hate the buttons on the back but never even tried a LG. Haters going to hate. LoL

I like the buttons on the back. When I play with my old Samsung Note #1 or my wife's S5, I feel the buttons on the side are awkward now, which is kinda weird imho. Also, another weird thing.... After staring at my concave flex screen for hours each day, when I look at a "flat" phone, it looks like the screen is convex. Anyone else experience this phenomenon?
Habits do develop when you use it alot. I frequently tap on my tab's screen trying to wake it up.

Same here, after 4 months I still turn the whole phone around to see the button I'm pushing. Please change it on the LG G flex 2
I like the buttons on the back of the phone, never even have to think about what im pushing!
HIT EM WIT DAT FLEX
I personally think it's genius and innovative from the norm of any other carrier. Thinking outside the box is sometimes a fail, but for me and many more love this aspect. I haven't had any issues with the buttons on the back besides the 1st few days. Once I got used to them, couldn't imagine them not being there.
Different strokes for different folks.
Also have the concave vision of any other flat phone or tablet. Looks opposite curved of my phone. It's crazy! No matter the size. I freaked the 1st time I picked up my wife's G2, lol! I am like you see it? She just started at me like I have lost my mind.
Also never had it reboot on me once or turned on the screen. Least I don't know of any way.
Love this phone and honestly keeping it till the flex 2. Dig the operating system as well. SMS pop up window is amazing!

LG keeps improving on the back keys. Flex back keys are better then the G2. Thinking the G3 back keys will be better then the Flex. I like different things which is why I like the butons and the Flex. I have a Jump to use and kind of want the G3 but thinking I might miss my Flex. Kind of pissed @ T-Mobile though since they screwd me on my discount when they said last month I would be grandfathered in.

I don't know why some of you guys have to turn your phone around just to see what your pushing. I don't have a problem at as to you can just tell what your pushing on when feeling on the buttons i mean the power button sticks out more then the volume so you should already know that's the power button and from there you can already figure out if you slide your finger up or down you can tell that your on the volume button as to it has some kind of a small dot on both i find it much easier and better that the buttons are on the back.

for me, I think its more a product of muscle memory, than anything else..
I've been using side buttons on cell phones for at least the last 15-20 years, and this is my first phone that had the buttons on the back..
Old habits die hard..

Same with me as this is my first phone with the buttons in the back but i guess i got used to it faster because it seems much better for it to be in the back for me that is.

You and everyone else, right? No other phone has done this, so in essence it's new for all of us, lol!

Meant as a company. G2 I have as my wife and stepdaughter have one. Never used the g1.

I'm all for it!
I think yellowman said it well. I got a case as well for the kickstand. Then I realized the hole for the back buttons made even easier to locate the buttons. So now I quickly find the down volume then go from there. Because of my work, I needed to find a different way to carry a phone. I had an S4 previously. I made a pouch to wear under my shirt kind of like a holster. With the S4 I always had trouble finding buttons. With the G Flex now, its easier than ever. Using same pouch, but I cut a hole for the buttons. Easy to feel them through the shirt. I just wish I could put CyanogenMod on this thing...

Active Home Button

It has a little sound to it now compared to when i first got it a few weeks back and also compared to the other 2 physical buttons that make no sound. Anyone else?
I guess that button is used a little more than the others. I hate physical buttons but i guess it's the price you pay for a large battery.
Yeah, mine click when pressed. Mostly the home button but the back does as well
I guess I'll let it go then
