can you move your home button? - Note 7 Questions & Answers

Can you move it at all? Just noticed something that bugs me. Mine barely moves vertically however I can make the right side higher then the left vice versa so it will sit assymetrically higher on one side until I move it back. I spot assymetrical things constantly and it drives my ocd crazy. My note before this one had a crap home button that wouldn't register clicks on the right corner. My s6 had a crap wobbly home button. Samsung really sucks with making buttons. If I pay $900 for a device I expect it to be perfectly symmetrical.

well, you should always press the button IN THE CENTER, engineers design things to be used in a certain way, if you press any button on any device, in an unnatural way, it will most likely wear out or malfunction before its normal designed lifespan if your home button is assymetrical at its rest position, then it is faulty, go claim warranty or exchange

Nah not wasting any time exchanging Samsung phones anymore. I find something wrong with every single one.

I'm willing to bet I could make the majority note 7 home buttons do this exact thing. Push one side of the button a bit higher than the other.

I got my n7 on 29th aug, and was perfect in all accounts, no scratch prone, no heating at all when charging, no lag, good SOT, 6 hours heavy use, really happy with it, but, I returned for exchange after a exact month using it, as I did not want to use it caped at 60% batt, the point is, I expect the new unit to be as excellent as the first one

My home button is solid in place, no play in any ddirection, i never even looked at it until inread your post, but yeah mine is perfect, im kind of shocked.

Just got mine today. Everything is 100% so far.

What about your guys spen eject button? Does that move around?

My replaced model sadly has a tiny scratch on the back, the previous one was fine (regretted didn't inspect it well when I get the replaced unit)... That said, my current home button is solid, but the S Pen eject button does move around (which I think should be common for a pen)...

I got my replacement on 10th Oct, everything fine, no gaps, no wobbling buttons, s pen button tight, runs cooler than the first one I had, good SOT, no scratches, even could keep box and accesories

Volume Rocker or Power button WOBBLY

I have the white one
My volume rocker is wobbly and whenever my phone vibrates it has that sharp sound vibrating as well
As if theres a piece of plastic that is bouncing around inside the phone
But of course its just the volume rocker that is wobbling like mad whenever the phone vibrates
Anyone have this?
If I hold my finger to the volume rocker it doesnt make that nasty sound
I go into settings and I tap "vibration intensity option" and I tried selecting different vibration levels and I can definitely hear the difference
With the wobbly volume rocker
Anyone else?
The fascinate had this as well. It caused allot of concern when it was first released. They all held up like champs though. I think they are actually designed this way for longevity. I've had many Samsung phones, and never had any problems with their buttons. Try not to worry about it unless it starts to cause problems. Mine feel lose just like how you describe yours.
I would take it back for exchange if you still can. I just bought a tablet with the same problem and I am going to exchange it. For the money, that's not something you should have to deal with. My s3 definitely does not have the same problem.
Weirdly my S2 and S3 both have the sane issue. It has stopped bugging me though.

I have the exact same problem, went back to the store the day after, the rep said it isn't wobbly... and told me to test the demo ones and the demo devices also had the same volume rocker problem.
Now that I have it in a case, the weird sharp plastic moving up and down during vibrate is gone but it still bothers me to know that it's wobbly.
I tried returning it the guy said it's fine so I just lived with it.. my powerbutton isn't like this at all tho, very sturdy.
I've had three Galaxy S IIIs so far...
The power button was very loose/wobbly. AT&T replaced it for me.
The screen was separated from the bezel. They gave me a hard time about replacing this, saying that it's against policy to replace a phone multiple times unless it has a serious issue, but eventually replaced it. The power button was solid on this one.
This one has a looser power button than the first. It does not stick out as far as it did on either of the other two, and does not click when pressed. I also have to press it in just the right spot in order to get it to register. The AT&T store said that the button seemed to be working and they can't keep replacing it for "cosmetic issues."
On the one hand the button does work 90% of the time, it's just a little finicky. On the other hand, I don't expect this poor quality out of a premium device. I'm a little conflicted as to whether I should live with it our escalate to AT&T customer service.

I had a similar issue with Apple recently. My iPad 3's buttons were scratched and looked like someone tried to chew on it (mind you this is a replacement for a faulty iOS iPad 3 I had). Fortunately, Apple replaced it right away for its cosmetic issues.
My power button seems to have a similar issue to yours, in terms of not being as sturdy as the volume rockers, however it's bearable and hardly noticeable.
Given that I've heard so few horror stories about Android phones as opposed to iPhones, a not-so-sturdy power button isn't the end of the world!
However your provider or Samsung at the very least shouldn't be refusing to give out replacements for such issues...
The power button and the home button? Were really wobbly on my first gs3 (white) I exchanged it when the red one came out, this one I might say is perfect from cosmetic issues.

Well, the rep at the AT&T store said that her GS3 was like that as well, and even though I showed her that it was not like that on the floor model she insisted it was normal variation. She did offer to waive the restocking fee on a different phone if I was unhappy with it. I considered taking her up on it and going with the One X but the smaller, built-in battery and no removable storage just kills it. I'd say as long as the button keeps working I'm fine with it as-is. It actually makes it harder to accidentally turn on the phone, to be fair.

Return it then buy it from Best buy. I went through 3 models before I found one with no loose buttons. If you do a search you will see that I made the first thread about this.
Sent From My Samsung Galaxy SIII
yup got the same prob on the i747M

Just got my S III, some questions and comments

I've been holding off buying the S III for some time in hopes of something better, but nothing has come along so I finally bit the bullet. I bought a new white one off ebay for $450, which is on the cheaper side. It came with a rather deep scratch on the bottom right on the chrome, but frankly its hard to notice and the rest of the phone seems to work fine. Wanted to ask a few questions and make a few comments.
1. Screen is the best AMOLED screen period. The lack of reflection and infinite viewing angles puts it head and shoulders above all phone IPS screens I've used. Also on a completely different level to the beta AMOLED screens Samsung was churning out. None of the pixelation, dithering, artifacts, lines, blotches, and crap from the S II or the Note. It doesn't turn to crap when I dim the screen, and looks very nice and even like that. The saturation has been toned down as well and looks better. However, I wish the greens were not so BLUE and the skin tones were less ghastly red/yellow/orange.
2. My volume keys are firm and clicky, but my power button is kind of loose. Will it deteriorate over time?
3. The battery cover is still a horrible design. My left side snaps into place completely, but there is a gap that you can put a fingernail and also feel the seam and slight hump since its not flush. This is normal for Samsung right? My Note also had a battery cover problem. It would ot snap in, and I had to jam it in at a very sharp angle and bend the cover back heavily. At least that was flush. This one is not. Also noticed looseness on the top corners with the S3, especially when you move the phone around or hold it in landscape and either push the corners a bit or hold onto them. I think this is endemic to the S3 since all the display phones at my local store had the same problem, along with the entire cover being taped up since they were coming off of course.
4. The home button is hard to press. I also noticed this on the demo models. Why couldn't it be more like the iPhone's button? The amount of force required to push it, its location at the very end of the phone, and the lightweight nature of the phone means I have to hold the phone firmly down or the entire thing just might bounce out of my hand. I usually have to hold the bottom underneath the button and pinch down with my thumb. That's not very satisfying either, since I am also pushing up into a looser part of the back cover and it flexes a bit, especially since there's that hole where the microUSB plugs into. I try to avoid using the home button and use back all the way if possible.
5. The phone is fast, but not blazingly fast or smooth. It's better than my old One X. Still far from the smoothness of a Windows Phone device. Hopefully Jelly Bean will help a lot.
6. They need to disable the capacitive keys during camera mode. I always end up pushing one or both of them and exiting the camera or getting edit popups. Same problem I had on the Note.
7. Phone looks and feels a million times better without the rim sticking out above the glass surface. It's more prone to damage, but I'll take the look and unimpeded finger swiips any day.
8. The Note had a much much better speaker. The S3 sounds like an S2 without the back cover helping muffle it.

1. There is a setting in display settings to adj screen tone. See if that helps.
2. Some have reported this, but mine is fine. Not loose at all.
3. The battery cover while flimsy i agree, should snap on with ease. No raised or humped section, no gap for a fingernail... almost sounds like yours took a nasty fall or other impact... it should fit just fine with no blemishes.
4. Home isnt hard to push. Agree though that it couldve been implemented much better.
5. Imho, this thing screams. Never had any problems with lag or not being smooth and speedy. Top of the line if you ask me.
8. Speakers fine for me, for what it is. I never expect the external speaker to be super high quality.

On the screen issue, have you gone out to broad daylight and trying to see the screen? Its tough. I still prefer IPS screens.
The home button is hard to press. Being accustomed to only capacitive buttons, the home button is tough to press. Even more so with my ballistics case.
The back is plastics but it gets the job done
The power button is sturdy and fine on my end
I agree with the camera button.
I also got mine from eBay about a month ago for 469 and although it was used, it was kept and very good condition. All I have is a small line on the gray part of the phone by the volume button that only extends about 2 mm. Sometimes I forget its there. The screen is my biggest letdown. Coming from 2 LG devices, the IPS screen is the best screens in my opinion. Natural colors, awesome brightness. This one is good I enjoy it but its not great.

I played with an Optimus G in-store, basically a Nexus 4. Did not like it AT ALL. The glass was icky. Was not impressed by the display. It was washed out looking. This is in comparison to the One X and iPhone, not just AMOLED.
IPS is better outdoors and at max brightness. However, indoors at low brightness the contrast looks way better on the AMOLED screen of the GS3.
Oh man the 5" HTC Droid DNA is coming out. If it can be unlocked for GSM networks, I'm itching the jump again...haha I had the Note two months ago too.
I'm getting buyers remorse from the build quality. Just holding or moving the phone around and taking it out of my pocket, there's always a creak or a flex from the loose back cover. The phone is kinda slippery and clammy, not much to hold on to, and the jiggly power button. I said I would never buy another Samsung phone because of build, but here I am again...a sucker for the screen!
3. My battery cover is perfectly flush. I have pulled it off to change sd cards and once when initially rooting.. I simply put it in place and smoothly press the edges while moving around the whole phone.. all click in, flush
5. check to see if Power saving mode is on, and if cpu saving is on in power saving ... if it is, chances are your phone is only hitting 1GHz
when power saving is off (via the handy toggle in the notification shade dropdown), phone is allowed to hit full 1.5 GHz
another reason for some speed loss is the samsung touchwiz environment.. beautiful, but a bit heavy
jellybean from a google/nexus base IS faster, but mainly cuz it is more bare
cheers!

rooted, running jellybean 4.1.1 on touchwiz-based Xquizit xD rom

Does anyone else have a very loud home button?

Depending on where I press mine, it will either sound llike a very well made solid well built phone vs a cheap plastic throw away... Experimenting now it seems like if I hit it close to the top of the button vs the middle/center or bottom it will make the cheap plastic sound

My home button is slightly loud, sounds like any solid button though. From the bottom the sound is minimized. Could be the way it was constructed because of the water and dust resistance. I havent had a physical home button in a while though. Had the note 2 and then upgrade to note 4 but swapped that for the nexus 6 when I couldnt root and my phone would get very hot doing basic things.
I stopped buying Samsung because the home buttons would always fail and register double presses (launching into S Voice) after about a year of use. The OP post along with the scratches reported elsewhere makes me consider just getting a cheap One Plus Three...
I would love if Note 7 had:
1. ceramic or glass home button
2. Metal S Pen, not plastic

The home button and Spen on my very well used Note 2 and 4 are still perfect.
Had my note 3 for 2yrs and same.
As is my S3 minus the Spen
Pen is in there good. Takes a bit of force to pull out and the home button has a distinct click to it.
Sometimes I hear an audible click when using the home button. I thought it was just me, or tight mechanics... I kinda like it. I like mechanical keyboards, too...

Mine has sometimes loud sound and also sometimes when i press and swipe from left to right the home button sticks and stays pressed until i click it again, otherwise it is working fine.
i am thinking of taking it to the store and see what they say.
Mine does that also. If I press it offcenter to the left, it sometimes either sticks down, or emits a loud click when popping back up.
It doesn't bother me though. It happens very rarely, and the rest of the phone is perfect, so I don't want to have it replaced with one that isn't.
My buddies was sticking on almost every other click.. He returned it.. His was a black variant from china.
His new one is silver and flawless, same with mine.

Home Button Issue
I got my replacement note 7 yesterday. The home button does not click properly. I don't think I'm being anal about it but I took it back to T-mobile and everyone working there looked at me like I was crazy. The home button clicks perfectly on the right side but is stiff on the left side. Not a big deal because the button still functions, it just feels weird. If my thumb is more to the left of the home button, I dont get the feeling of the button being pressed. All I'm saying is that if I'm paying 950 with my hard earned money I expect it to function 100% out of the box. Anyone else have a similar issue. The T-mobile people told me to go to the Samsung store, aka they don't wanna deal with me. I'm annoyed with my experience and considering just dropping Samsung and T-mobile all together.
...
I havent had mine get stuck fortunately. There is definitely an issue with the Home buttons, I agree. No one at T-mobile wants to admit it. I don't like being considered crazy, and I'm pissed.
lorenzobjuarez said:
I literally just bought a black one from a T-Mobile store about an hour ago. On mine pressing on the left side of the home button actually feels proper, it is the RIGHT side that feels cheap and makes a loud noise when clicking it.
Even more bothersome it's the fact that if you press and hold on the home button and slide from LEFT to RIGHT the button will actually get stuck underneath the right side until I wiggle it & then it will "pop" out making a loud click!!!
Can you confirm if yours does this & gets stuck too?
There is definitely something wrong with these home buttons, I'm with you it's totally pissing me off that I paid almost $1,000 for a phone with a CHEAP plastic home button that isn't even done right. At least when Apple uses a home button they make sure it's a glass and actually works well!

I just feel that I should stand my ground, bc I'm def not gonna say that there is no issue with the home button bc I know there is. 3 of my coworkers have confirmed that they notice the issue too. Also there is no way in hell I'm paying a $50 restocking fee when the unit is received is defective. Not to sound rude but you must be rich if you are willing to pay a restocking fee twice. I'm a New Yorker so I will fight tooth and nail to win my case! If enough phones have a similar issue Samsung may have to do another recall, lol.
lorenzobjuarez said:
I feel your pain man I'm equally as aggravated right now...
Here's what you should do though, if you are still within your 14-day return window just take it back to the store (with yout receipt & box) and tell them flat out that you want to return it because you just "didn't like it".
I previously returned my last Note 7, 4 days before the recalland I honestly didn't like it, so that's what I told them and they gave me a full refund with no problems. I think the issue here is that whenever you tell them there is something wrong with the phone, they always want you to go through warranty because technically "there is something wrong with it".
Since you already paid them a visit once, if anybody recognizes you & brings up your last complaint just tell them that you were comparing it to your last phone and now that you've gone used to the home button for these last couple of days there's nothing wrong with it... It was just you!
It's ridiculous that you will have to admit that you are crazy and that there is nothing wrong with the phone just so you can return it, but in the end you will win. Again, don't bring up any complaints just tell them that you did not like it and the phone works perfectly fine, they will charge you a $50 restocking fee that I will GLADLY pay again to return this trash Phone!!! They will proceed to give you a refund and just wait a couple of more days or weeks possibly even months until they get more inventory & you can buy it again and HOPE that this one is not defective.
I'm just going to play with mine for today and that is exactly what I'm going to go do tomorrow morning, I won't even bring up the home button issue.

Picked up my replacement today and I get a faint click when I press slightly on the left side of my home button like it's sticking. I could tell it felt different from my previous note 7 as soon as I pressed it. Has very slight loose movement when you push the left side up and down. It's pretty annoying.
Thank you, I mean you gave me a good alternative options...truth be told your plan is actually starting to sound pretty good just about now, lol. I realized what a hassale it would be to fight for a replacement.
lorenzobjuarez said:
No I'm not "rich" lol!
I'll just rather pay up the money needed to move on with my life and avoid the stress and headaches of having to relay this to the incompetent people at the store. Let's face it, most of us here at XDA would have their jobs by tomorrow!
I get where you're coming from in regards to standing your ground, the problem is they're not going to want to play ball with you... as you have already seen. At this point I'm not about to stay with a messed up home button phone annoying me each and every time that I press it, I don't even want to look at the darn thing!
This is an issue that not a lot of people are going to notice and it's not nearly as drastic as an exploding battery so I highly doubt this will force Samsung to do another recall; especially considering how much money they've lost already.
Either way, it was just a suggestion and I was just trying to help...

home button defect? need advice..

Couple questions. Can anyone move their home button at all vertically? Mine does slightly only on the left side. Also if I just barely push/click it on the very right corner of the button I can make it click without a response however if I push it with normal force on the right it responds like normal. I can't do this on the very left side/corner. That side is very sensitive and if I barely touch it it responds. The feel/sound is a little different when I push the right side too. It's definitely a tighter fit on that side.
I'm wondering if I should go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement because of this. My s6 had a bad wobbly loose home button and it was annoying. I ordered my phone through Verizon customer service through an upgrade. If I want them to send me a new one they have to charge me $200 again and then when I send one back I have to wait 10 days for a refund.. And the closest Verizon store is almost 2 hours away
I'm also hesitant to swap bcuz first charge on this one and I'm already getting over 6 hours on screen time and I haven't even disabled any bloatedware yet. It however does have the gap/light leak all around but apparently majority of them have that. Advice? What would you do in my position? Thanks guys... Wish I could just get a perfect device for once.
Maybe you're over thinking it lol mine sometimes clicks, sometimes doesn't, but never bothers me. But to answer your question on the vertical movement..the whole button has a slight vertical movement for me when I try and rock it lightly.

I think so too bro. I'm having Verizon mail me another one though and then I'll compare and pick. Had to drop another 200 bucks to get them to send another one lmao will refund though when they get one back...
It's very rare you find a galaxy phone with a perfect home button...
My recalled note was completely perfect, but the home-button on my new note often clips the glass on the left side. It's pretty annoying but I'm not sure if it's anything to return it for. The screen protector was also applied badly, completely unaligned and bubbly - seams quality went down after the recall.
Seems like every Galaxy device on this forum has a person who overly analyzes the behavior and mechanical characteristics of the home button....smh

Not sure what to do at this point. Thoughts?

Okay so Verizon granted me an early upgrade for the note 7. I had to send them my s6 and spent $180. The first note 7 that I had shipped to me had an annoying home button that wouldn't register clicks on the right side. I noticed this the first day I got the phone and called them. They told me I would have to spend $180 again for them to send me another new note 7 and it'd be refunded to me when they recieved one of the note 7's back. I wasn't too thrilled about this however I did it anyway.
I've now had the new note 7 since the 24th(i think) and I believe my 14 days is up. Today I noticed that I can make my home button wiggle very slightly vertically on the left side, middle, and right side. The left side being slightly easier. I'm guessing it's because there is a very slight gap between the top of the home button and the glass. I can actually make it slightly crooked by either pushing up the right or left side however when I push the middle of the home button down or up everything is lined up perfectly with the gap being the same size across the top.
I don't know if this is a problem or if my ocd is getting the better of me. Other than this the phone is perfect and the home button registers clicks perfectly even if I barely push the very right or left corner. If I do decide I want to swap, I guess I can't get them to send me a new one anymore and I'd have to do a warranty replacement or something? I'm just not sure it's worth it. I really don't want to have to go through the stress of getting another new replacement worried about some other flaw. I might be ultra sensitive to home button issues because my s6 had the most wobbly piece of crap button ever.
Anyways.... Let me know what you guys think of my situation... I appreciate it.
