S6 Home Button Loose Rattle

[jgscott987]

I've had my S6 for 3 days now. It started out great, but now the home button feels loose and has a rattle when you tap it lightly. It feels very cheap now.

I've read some reports on other forums, but nothing conclusive. Curious how many folks have experienced this.

Odd. My home button remains solid as a rock.

There's a very slight bit of play but certainly no rattle.

Same here. I can jiggle it slightly with my finger but it doesn't make any noise even if I shake the phone.

It doesn't make any noise when I shake the phone, just when I tap it lightly or run my finger across it

This is happening to me too, you need to add a color model option to the poll, from what I read it is related to the black models.

Sad. Annoying, and no one at Samsung doesn't give a ****.

I'm also having the same issue with my black S6, from reading around at XDA it seems to be related to the black models. My power button isn't firm as well. Disappointed. You can see the home button issue on youtube.

My home button doesn't move at all, so I'd return those devices with faulty home buttons as the problem will only get worst with more use.

 

[jgscott987]

Mine is black too. Can't imagine what the color has to do with it, but there sure seems to be a correlation. Now I have to figure out whether to trade it in on a new one or just return it and give Samsung a month or two to work out the kinks...

Seems like it's a very widely known issue with people reportedly exchanging their phone 2 to 3 times and each one having the same wobble.

It personally doesn't bother me much.

Still no rattle. Take it in the store and let them check it out.

Mine does the same thing that happens in the video but it isnt loose when shaken and when pressed I really dont notice it

 

[Bwahahahaha]

I have a black one (Verizon) ... Solid as a rock. This is the most solidly constructed phone I've ever had. Sorry you're having these issues! I'd exchange it for a new one. My ocd wouldn't allow me to deal with that for very long

Mine was fine for the first week, then it started to rattle for no apparent reason. I will be exchanging it today.

There has been some discussion of color being a factor, but mine is a white, 64gb model.

Just got back from the Sprint store. Exchanged the previous S6 due to rattle. New phone was fine out of the box, now, about two hours later: we have rattle. I'm going to give this one more shot, but it looks like I may end up going back to my M8.

I'm trading my mine in on a new one tomorrow but I'm beginning to believe this is just a natural characteristic of the phone. The button still works exactly as expected, just feels like it came unglued from whatever is below it. It hasn't gotten any worse (it may have even gotten a little better) over the last several days. We'll see what the replacement looks/feels like but It's not a deal-breaker either way.

I hear you on that, but it's an expensive piece of hardware (I purchased the phone outright), and that plasticy rattle makes it seem cheap. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would not be bothered by it.

I did check out the demo in the store, and it's button is solid. Given that it probably sees a lot of action, I have hope of obtaining a non-rattle device.

Quick follow-up, got my replacement phone today and the home button is very solid. Time will tell if it remains that way.

I had the white one and experienced the same thing.
