Trouble With K4 Power Button?

lindnet · 01-02-2012, 03:30 PM

I've looked through several pages and didn't find anything about this, so maybe it's just a flaw on mine.

The power button on the K4 is pretty difficult to push. I can get it to go if I use my thumbnail on it, or press it really hard, but it doesn't seem right. I have a KT and the button on it is very nice and easy to use.

Anybody else have this problem?

I don't need to press hard on mine, but i do find it a bit tricky since the rubber in the cover extends quite a bit and the button is quite small and low-profile.

Thanks, tovare. I thought it was just me, or that mine was defective. I think this may just be the way they are designed.

I don't have to press hard on mine at all. You may have a problem with your device. Bring it back to exchange it and try a new one.

I don't have that problem with mine either.

Thanks to everyone! I think maybe I will call Amazon today and see about returning this one. Everything else works fine, hopefully I'll get another good one.....with a good power button!
