[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seballe:
Thanks for the information! I like Pie Control best of the two!

Although, the problem wont solve itself by avoiding the button, so i think i will press it even more, just to see if the problem persists, gets worse or fixes itself. In my experience the button has gotten worse over the past few days. The shop wont take the phone back because they label it as "self fault" (dont know the english term), they think I am the problem and have not taken care of my phone. This is ridiculous! I have now sent at mail to Samsung Denmark to see if they can help me!

This describes my experience as well!

I have tried using a small tool to "push" the button around in its socket, but to no avail, it's still the same problem. This is really getting on my nerve!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
Let me know how you get on with the button and Samsung support. Really interested to know what the outcome is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robpc:
I've got something very similar with mine. It feels slightly loose and not the solid feel it had when I first got the phone. I'm interested in how you get on too.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
Mine moves slightly which is expected, but no cracking sounds and feels solid
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_89:
My home button does the same thing. Although I think it started after I tripped and dropped it at the top of a staircase and it bounced off every stair all the way down *facepalm*

:eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Langduscher:

Power button is wonky too.

I'm really unimpressed by the overall build quality of this phone - especially for its price.

Oh well. "First World Problems" :D ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownie2k:
My home button feels absolutely fine, on the other hand, my power button feels sticky and spongey when I press it, still works fine though.

Nothing like my Galaxy Note 2 which clicks when pressed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankomputerek:
Mine started "clicking" few days ago. It drives me mental when trying to navigate through at night.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
I think we can all agree that the power/home buttons on this phone suck! Oh well, at least we are not the only ones having this build issue :cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodigyX:
My power and home buttons are rock solid, but my volume rocker has been loose since day one. Thing is, I went into the Samsung store to complain and compare mine against the 4 or 5 demo units that they had on display, but they were all like that! :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeboss:
Guys spigen is selling these badboys already http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-aluminum-home-button.html and it's told that the button is easy to replace . I just don't know how ,anybody knows?

I thin i would invest 10$ to get rid of crackling home button

Oh my fault . I thought this was a replacemnet hb,not just on top sticker :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
I would've paid to see that. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
The home button on this phone is not very easily replaced (without stripping everything off, including the OLED and digitizer etc), so if you're lucky, they will replace the whole unit for you. I'm still think whether or not they will replace it though since the button itself still works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seballe:
Hi Dark5tar!

Thanks for your inquiry.

The following day i would not accept a phone that costs 800 USD to have such a terrible flaw, especially when it drove me mad like that. So I contacted the Danish Consumer Council, and read through my rights as a buyer, took me a couple of hours. In the end I found that i was eligible for a new phone!

So i went back to the store whom had sold me the defect unit. And told them my rights as a buyer. They quickly realized that i meant business, and backed out, which meant they replaced my phone with a new one!

I was so happy after this. And now i have a fully functioning phone with no small crackling noises or defects what-so-ever. :highfive:

I would suggest you do the same, it is simply not acceptable. Go back, and be tough, perhaps shout a little, show them you mean business, try and do some research your self about your rights as a buyer to find out whats acceptable and whats not.

I'm curious to hear what you plan to do.

- Sebastian
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1234:
I have the same issue with my S4 as it "clicks" when I press the home button. I thought this is the design of the phone since a lot of people complained about it but it seems that there are batches with a good home button and batches with "noisy" home buttons. I am still within the 28days period to change my phone for free if I have any problems with it. It is not an actual problem to be honest but it can be annoying, especially during the night when there's very quite.

I might pay CPW a visit tomorow to see what is their input on this matter and if there were other people who changed their S4. But there's one small problem here: what if I change my phone and get another one with the same problem?! It would be pretty much useless.

Most of the test terminals I've tested seemed to have normal, "click free" home buttons (it is especially noticeable when you long press the button) but I thought that's because they are pressed over and over again therefore I waited a couple of weeks to see if there's an improvement with mine. Do you guys have an advice about this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1234:
I went to CPW yesterday and the test device had a similar "clicking" sound. The shop assistant told me that this is how the s4 was designed. I think I'm going to go to Samsung store @ Stratford to ask for their opinion.

Maybe I'm going nuts and my phone is working as it should. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgenask1986:
Same issue with att s4... From time to time the home button has an "extra" click or crack sound before the actual button click... Anyone had their phone replaced /repaired for this issue?

The guys in the AT&T store didn't seem to think this was a big issue... But it's quite annoying at times..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyXperiaA:
Oh, this is the exact thread I've been looking for :D

I've had the exact same issue :/

I have a tiny 2-level clicking feeling and the left side of the button really feels like there are 2 levels. The right side is soft as hell. The center is extremely clicky and loose. But it all goes away for like 5 - 10 minutes after the initial press. And then it comes back. Maybe the button isnt sitting well.

I can't even give it in because I installed a custom recovery and triangle away doesnt work on i9500 :(

This has been bugging me for quite a while. It working fine at first and later on I thought the case I had made my home button press rather awkward so I changed cases and it seemed to go away and then it came back.

You don't expect this on a flagship tbh. Sad
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1234:
I know, it sucks but we are not liable for exchanging the phone as there is not an obvious fault with it.

Furthermore, the guys from the Samsung store told me there was a considerable number of customers who complained about this problem. It's sad to pay so much money for a phone and be bugged by such design flaws. The thing is that I noticed that only some batches are problematic, while others seem to have a more soft feeling when pressing the home button, no cracks or loud clicks.

I think this is one of the main reasons why s4 had so poor sales. People decided to go with premium bodies from other companies. Hopefully Samsung will produce a better s5 next year.

Anyway, I have the phone for more than one month and the good news is that the button seem to feel a bit better, while the clicking sound is attenuated. Either this, or I got used to it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgenask1986:
This is getting me really annoyed now, it's not getting better or worse.. Gonna try another AT&T store this time and ask what there is to do about it.. This is supposed to be the top of the line phone out there.. And I have to put up with this cracking sound? Not a chance!

Anybody out there with some news on this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
That awesome moment when you come to make a thread about home button issue and see an existing thread (y). Lol.

Alright. Listen up everyone.

I'VE found a temporary fix for this.

As noticed, the button is loose from the sides more than the center.

Try this: press the home button and give it a side (stroke) TOWARDS both sides (not to be confused with sex)

What I mean from this is that press the home button and slide your finger to the right with some moderate pressure applied.

Then do the same with the left side. It fixes the issue temporarily.

Let me know if this works for you. I just figured it out myself.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1234:
Let us know what is the outcome. I'm very curious if you'll be able to change your device. As I mentioned above, I've been told that, as long as the device is not faulty, I'm not eligible to exchange it.

I've been even told to consider other devices in the future with a more premium design and materials, such as the HTC one. I'm quite sure that guy won't be the employee of the year in that Samsung store :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgenask1986:
Talked to a person at samsung.. ( a number a got from the Samsung cares app) .. They will replace the button if I send the phone to them.. Under warranty.. I'm debating whether or not to flash stock rom and deroot and all that.. A pain.. But they might see that I have rooted and goldeneye ROM flashed and say that warranty is void... I'll keep you updated guys :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Mine also have cracking sound..

Its not an issue.. why need to give for repiar.? Home button still works.. it will silly reason to give it for repiar?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgenask1986:
I would have to disagree....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
The button is lighter and made from other material than s3 and note 2.. its different from s3.. its normal.. no need to disappointed
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] William_robe:
I Will try this metod.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
I pressed home button for 1 min applied force..

I feel that its fixed yet.. no sound.. dont know about how long it will..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
On mine, it's sounds like clicking an edge of Plastic on the right side of the Home Button. But not everytime when I push the Home Button. It sounds normal again, if I push the Home Button one or a few time and come back after some time.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Yes.. exactly.. really disappointed.. feels like we are running micromax in samsung version.. lol

Button works fine but for quality purpose it fails...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
Mine did that as well right away, it was cracking quite a lot with each press (not just 2 clicks, more like there was sand being crushed underneath).

I hesitated to send it back but since it was imported (i9500) and everything else worked fine, I just decided I should get used to it, and maybe it'll go away.

I must say that I hadn't thought about it for a while, until I saw this thread, and I can safely say now that my home button doesn't crack at all anymore.

It feels solid, and works totally fine without additional noise, just like my S3.

All in all, I think it annoyed me for a few weeks, then I started not noticing it anymore, I guess it was getting better little by little.

So don't lose hope, I think it'll get better with time (mine was very bad at first). :)

I've probably pressed it a lot though, especially since I was checking all the time if clicking it some ways would help fix it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
Mine too + the power button is not 100% working (top part looks like it's sticking), i am really upset about this. I went to the local shop today and they said i could send it in for repairs but i will lose the phone for 2 weeks. Those ****ers don't even give you a replacement.

I have sent Samsung a email and i hope they reply, otherwise i call them tommorow.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
Solved

I had this issue and was days from sending back to Samsung and stumbled upon this post...and I thought it wouldn't work but it did. Possibly pocket fluff build up or speck of dirt somewhere and this method fixed in under a minute...if anyone needs help ask away or pm me :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
I have to agree with the power button. The bottom and middle part are clicky, while the top part is more sticky and has less feedback when pressed. Does anyone else have this issue as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordVaderXIII:
My Home button is also doing this. Its extremely annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
Get a piece of very thin card and slide around home button when pressed the click/cracking looseness is caused by pocket fluff getting in tbe gap. I tried and fixed my button like new
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apocalypse 2012:
Thanks cameracartwright! I had this issue straight out of the box and its been annoying me for weeks. I used plastic instead of paper and it did the trick. Two days now without any creaking.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
No problem I found the idea on xda somewhere and it works. Its inevitable to get bits of dust and fluff in a button hole I guess by ive been using mine for weeks now with no cracking or uneaven ness.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickets73:
Fixed it instantly

Did the card thing: stuck corner in, while button pressed, and "cleaned" around. Need to use four different corners.

I didn't actually see any dirt coming out, but it definitely made a difference instantly. No more squeeking.

One thing I do, just in case, is to "suck" the button carefully. Maybe I did remove the dirt (loosened with the aid of the card) by sucking it, but never actually noticed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangedeal:
I've recorded a video - youtube.com/watch?v=Dcut8kK4PCI Are you talking about this sound?

It's my second GS4 (first had problems with a display) and I don't remember what situation was with this button on that phone. Should I worry :confused:

Sure this button not iPhone's 5 button :rolleyes: I've heard that home button on iPhone 5 costs about 40% of the price of the phone (I'm kidding but who knows).

Well spotted that man

The method I used was to hold the home button down with a tooth pick while I inserting the pointy corner of a piece of paper, then moved the papaer two and fro a few times and bobs yer uncle.

no more creaking button, HTF the dust got in there is shambolic as my old S2 never did this.
