Anyone else having issues with the capacitive buttons?

I checked the Q&A section beforehand to see if anyone else was having similar issues, but didn't see any similar threads.

The Problem:
Sometimes, when pressing the back button (and to a much smaller extent, the home and recent apps) it double taps. For example, pressing back to go back a page in Chrome will result in it going back 2 pages. This double tapping behavior.happens with all the keys, but is most noticeable with the back button due to how often it is used.

Possible Causes:
I suspect that the current screen protector may be causing issues with the buttons. I am fairly certain I have seen this issue before in other devices that used capacitive buttons. I'm currently using a glass screen protector that covers the entire face of the phone. As it stands right now, I value the protection of the screen protector enough to keep it on despite the potential issue it may cause.

It is possible that the buttons themselves are defective, but hopefully that is not the case.

Other Observations:
If I take my finger and slide it onto a certain part of each button, it causes the button to be pressed rapidly without having to lift my finger. Also, I can sometimes overload the buttons, to the point that the backlight of the buttons turns off and they become unresponsive for a few seconds.

The Questions:
Has anyone else noticed similar behaviors with this phone?

Can any users with and without glass screen protectors test out the spazzing button glitch?

Thanks! :good:

I have the same issue with the buttons.
Sometimes, when press any buttons, it detects two or more pulsations.
I have tempered glass screen protector.
Thanks for the reply. Which brand are you using? I picked up the Sparin brand from Amazon.

I have no protector and do not have this issue.
Thanks for the reply. It does raise the suspicion that it's a screen protector problem.
