Hey guys! I've been taking pretty decent care or my note 5 so far, only dropped it once(with case on) in the past few months.
So recently my note 5 power buttons doesn't feel responsive anymore, it simply doesn't click like it used to, and feels "sticky" instead.
Would I be able to solve this myself with some diy, or would it be better to see if Samsung will fix this for me?
Any help is much appreciated.
I used to have the same issue in my S6 EDGE.
What I do is: Spray a Qtip with some WD-40 and apply that to the button, let in get inside. Click it a few times and it will feel clicky again.
Sorry for broken english, not my first language.

Does anyone know how to open the battery cover of Tilt?
Seriously?
You push on the cover, then push up, away from the buttons...
haha thanks alot, never thought it was that easy
I had to look in the manual the first time
It's easy, but if you don't press at the right place it won't move

Unfortunately, I am one of those stuck here. I bought my Kaiser (AT&T branded Tilt) three days ago. I even have an image illustrating where to push but the thing will not move. I tried pressing lightly, very hard... still nothing.
Any hints?

Yep, keep trying ... you press more or less in the center upwards - use 2 thumbs if you have to!
do you people ever try something first, then post?
moreover create a thread...

It can be very stiff when new. The fingers of each hand are just to steady the phone. The thumbs do not need to be pressed hard into the battery cover. The force should be directed in the direction of the arrow in your picture. If it does not budge, do not press harder onto the battery cover but apply more push in the arrow direction.

well, if its stuck so bad you may try to use THIS tool to open it up...

I think a friend of mine found the way to open his iphone... by having it fly out of his hand and land on a concrete ground on the edge. The faceplate is sticking out 1mm and he can't get it back in place.. luckily no functional damange though, pretty impressive
Hello All,
Just a quick question............has anyone attempted to replace the hardware volume button strip that connects to the mainboard?...........The Vol Up button on mine no longer works properly....I have gone on ebay and brought a spare one but after taking the back covers off and looking at replacing it all looks kinda tight on that side!
Anyone done this or can offer advice?

Thanks for the link...........So I braved it and took out the old volume membrane - Quite tricky as its stuck to the side of the chassis and on closer inspection the membrane with the buttons on was fine!! The clickers were both working. In the end I had to pack out the strip on the chassis so the up down buttons had better contact.....Looks like over time this could be an issue for others!
Thanks Again

A friend of mine just received his official N7 case from Google and promptly realized that it's made of conductive material that creates screen input if you close it with the screen turned on. Has anyone else experienced this?

I literally got my case from UPS 10 minutes after I posted this, and I can recreate the problem too. Here's another thread with some others experiencing the same thing:

Did you know that if I unlock my phone and put it in my pocket.... My pocket starts pushing buttons.. Its like a little gnome lives in my pocket and is trying to text Tokyo.
Tapping the power button seems to solve the problem.
I would suggest doing the same if you plan on using this case.
and here I thought this case couldn't get any worse

Thanks for your valuable input.
Your phone acts the way you explain because your pocket isn't thick enough to keep your leg from activating the screen. The cover on this case is quite thick, and it causes screen input regardless of whether your hand/finger/whatever is on the other side. You can take it completely out of the case, then touch the screen with the cover and replicate the problem. The case itself appears to be conductive - not something you really want on a touchscreen device.
I don't have the problem because I added a magnet to trigger the sleep and wake functions as I close the cover.

Then what would people ***** about? Seriously useless thread is useless, I've got the official case and other that being too much money is fine. Turn the tablet off before you close it, or don't press on the lid until it turns off, simple solution is well simple...case closed.

Hi sway40,
I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much for your unsolicited opinion of my post (I even clicked the little "Thanks" button!). I hope it didn't take too much of your time, considering I only asked if anyone else was seeing the problem, and not for your personal thoughts on whether or not it was a good post or subject. I also hope that you're not too upset; the last thing I want to do is make people on the Internet angry by asking what I think are legitimate questions. Going forward, before posting any accessory-related questions in the accessories forum, I'll be certain to post a separate question first, asking if it's okay for me to post my real question. Should I PM you first too?
Thanks again!
Thanks for the info...will wait for a third party cover that includes a magnet!

I remember a long time ago when I was on Windows Mobile I used the HTC Tilt (great phone then). Like the One it had a flush power button and someone had the grand idea of painting over it with clear nail polish, which I did and it worked GREAT. You simply isolate the button with some tape and give it 2 or 3 coats and you have a nice attractive power button. It work and lasted me quite a while on that device.
So I'm thinking I want to do the same thing for my One, but I'm worried that it may interfere with the IR blaster and if so, could possibly harm the button if I decide to remove it.
Thoughts? Does anyone have any clue on how this will affect the device IR functions? I may just go ahead and be the guinea pig either this evening or tomorrow.
I believe clear wouldnt be an issue over the ir blaster

This is interesting.
go get your TV remote and try it... if it doesn't work, nail polish remover should take it right off. if it does work, do it on the One and report here with pics/results!
That's a good suggestion to try it on a TV remote. I'm curious how well it works but probably wouldn't do it.
I do have trouble using the ir blaster through glass, but I think it's reflecting off the glass instead of passing through. The nail polish would be flush so no chance of reflection I don't think.

My thought is if you dont mind missing BT audio is get rooted and install bulletproof kernel instead. Only difference from this video is I use the double tap to turn the screen on since its more convient but either way works. I literally dont touch the power button unless I need to reboot/shutdown/recovery/ect
I got bold and went for it. Ill post a quick write up tomorrow with some photos. In the meantime I'm waiting for it to dry. I'll give it until the morning before I take the tap off and test it IR. if the IR doesn't work I haven't lost much anyway but will have a better power button.
Done and IR still works great. The polish is still soft so it keep taking the shape of my finger print when I use the button. It did the same when I did this mod before too so if it goes as well as it did the first time it will be set in a couple days. I'll probably do one more thin coat later to clean up edges and smooth it out some.
Mod away folks.

Cool. Thanks for letting us know the results!
When I did the mod before it lasted me . While though I don't recall exactly how long. I do 3-4 coats and it hardens over time and showed no signs of wearing off when I finally sold it. I can't say with any certain t how long this will last but a fresh coat is easy enough to do so im not worried about it too much.

Could you confirm the purpose of this mod? Is it for aesthetics (shiny power button?) or functionality?
Thanks

It raises the power button, which is flush with the device, making it easier to press.
As stated.. it's to raise the button a bit and make it easier to find or press without looking.
As a quick update... still no chipping or wear down. Still going strong!
Can anybody comment on whether this will work on power buttons that are 1-1.5mm BELOW the plastic?
I just got a repair done, and it seems my power button dropped about 3mm.
hello to all guys, I'm Italian forgive me the translation, I want to ask you kindly advice ... I have applied this new technology of liquid film, https://www.nanomass.com/en/technology after a week just take the phone in hand and with the thumb release the screen on some areas of the screen I feel like a light trac as you were disconnecting something, now I called the assistance of the film and they told me that surely will be the screen of the note 9 defective, because this product does not create any thickness, but on the site I see that it creates a thickness of 0.0004 m of nano particle actually not known anything that moves, and the trac feels right on the surface, the feeling is that when you press on a tempered glass when it does not adhere well on the screen, then if I see it again again you do not hear anything, then I'll see you again after some time you hear again, the touch works perfectly, here's the video of the problem, thank you very much

That seems to be normal! It has already been reported here on xda somewhere, also over at Samsung forums as well, user have reported same issues! Please note this is my theory I’m just guessing as the home button is pressure sensitive. it the same at where you pressing it don’t affect use does it ? If it really does your head in ? Get a glass screen protector problem solved…
thank you, in your opinion it is not a defect of the phone screen, but of the liquid (film) screen protector?
did you listen to the screen noise in the video?

IMO most people do not need a screen protector and if you do a full case type is best. Between static and smudging none (3) I tried stayed on more than a month! Just train yourself not to put keys in the same pocket/purse
