Is the Power Button SUPPOSED to rattle??

[VoltaicShock]

I figure I'll just let the rattle go and right before my 1 year warranty is up I will get a new one then sell it as new in box for the Nexus 6 -

No there is zero play in my ceramic buttons even if you try to wiggle it. I think LG got some buttons that were undersized since ceramic could shrink during manufacturing. There are few people posting about this issue after the first batch of N5's were released, so I think they got rid of the quality issue for the most part.

good to know thanks. my first n5 def had a LOT of play in the power button, hopefully the next one they send will be less so

Careful, you wait too long, Google will drop the price and you won't get the most out of your scheme .

for those whose power buttons aren't loose, what is your build number? Or, are you guys thinking this is just a random manufacturing thing

getting the nexus5 today - fingers crossed that the power button isn't loose and the speaker holes are larger

My iPhone 4s had the power button rattle. I don't see this as being an issue. The phone isn't going to fall apart and this appears to be just the way the phone is designed. I'm not sure why people are freaking out over something so minuscule.

No. Others have said theirs does, and requested replacements if there was worry it may fall out or malfunction.

That's why I want to wait in case there is an updated model coming out that fixes the issue.

because it's annoying and shouldn't and doesn't have to be the case.

hopefully that's the one I'm getting. Before I even turn it on I'll make sure it's the updated version. If not, it can get sent back again lol. I can be patient about this, I've still got a Galaxy S4 GE that I'm using now

Mine rattle but it doesn't bother me.. Seems to be solid. I thought it supposed to be like that.

I *think* mine might rattle a little, but I never really noticed it until I read about it here. I wouldn't get it replaced because everything else works perfectly. My luck is I'd replace it and get some worse defect.

the initial post made me laugh a little. "loose to the point if I shake it hard enough it rattles."

The glass is weak enough that if I step hard enough it breaks. I am just giving you a hard time, but that was a pretty funny description. I think of loose being you hear it rattle with normal usage.

Same store happen to nexus 4 they updated the phone after a few month by adding special nubs to prevent sliding. I solved the problem by applying protecting skin.. N4 sure did slide like being on ice.

turned out it was a design flaw. No keys are loose anymore:

Eh, i dont have a volume button problem. Never did, and my power button is a bit loose, doesnt rattle. I really have to shake it to have it make a slight noise in a quiet room but having my slim armor case on it just takes care of whatever looseness it has. Not an issue to me.

 

[mrsmumbles]

I have the sharper display frame but I'm more used to it now. I love the phone.

My power button rattles noticeably even when typing a text or email... Considering trying to get a replacement.
