Loose/Stiff/Unresponsive buttons? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having problems with any of their buttons. Like for example, my back button is a bit stuck inside and makes a large snap everytime I press it. It's really bad and sometimes it is unresponsive. Is anybody have any similar issues?

It's Samsung quality control issue. My UP could button now get stuck all the time.

Can Samsung replace my phone for this?

Go to AT&T store and see if they can replace it. Fatter than sending your phone to Samsung.

Apparently there is an issue with the camera causing the problem. Sound like the fix is to use back button to get out of camera instead of home

How to test thrill camera LED?

It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?

Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

I've rebooted a number of times still nothing. I'm staying to think the LED is burnt out.

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

Thank you for trying to help

Screen distortion when tapping problem. anyone?

My screen got distorted when I apply some weight when I tap the screen, especially on the center left edge. The weight I apply is not that hard (just like mouse clicking) then I see some distortion (like water wave). I know it happens when you press hard on any LCD screen, However, It happens a lot easier on my Xperia Z compared to other phones I used to have.
Anyone got the same problem?
Had this on my last XZ (7th) and on this one (8th). Esp when holding the phone in my right hand pressing power button or volume buttons, it caused pressure where my fingers are holding the handset on the left.

Please look at my previous posts. You'll see that I have had many XZ's. Also I'm typing this on an XZ. I'm switching to HTC in 8 days. I'm no fan boy, my last experience with HTC a few years ago, was bad.

I have the same issue around the same area. Bottom left side closer to the middle of the screen. Doesn't bother me too much though.

Sounds dumb but hold it under a bright light and hold power and volume down... Might be volume up but try both. No joke, I promise.

Holding the power resets the phone u just have to hold it for a while

Im just wondering if there Is a way to fix this.

My s3 seems to have a power button problem. The phone boots on and works perfectly. But if I tap the rear of the mack plastic, next to the power button, I get the power menu. Any tips?
Thanks guys.

Dirt around the switch, carefully clean and all should be well... :good:
I removed the power button and cleaned everything out. Nothing worked so far. My power button seems to be very lose. Maybe a replacement?

Obvioisly loose. Its defenitly not intended to pick the power button out unless you screwed the cover away and void varranty.
The button will probably soon be gone for ever.
It sound like the feathery effect is gone. In the near future you have to send it in

I was chatting with a friend of mine who had the same problem, he removed the switch then use a little piece of double sided sellotape to bulk out the switch.
He then put it back together and it has been running for four months with no issues :fingers-crossed:
Hope you could fix it..
