    Clarify....Was the side button responding quicker and they just stopped or has this been an issue all along?

    Did you make any changes to the device? Upgrade the OS or disassemble it or even drop it?

    I am thinking it is probably hardware related, but that may not be true....

    Another thought steve. How do you carry the Bold? In your pocket, or in a holster? Do you have an outer cover, such as a silicone skin? It could be dirt or pocket lint building up, and causing this issue. Maybe a blast from one of those computer cleaners that shoots air under pressure may help.
    Think I'm sarcastic? Watch me pretend to care.
