Is it just my a100 or can everybody else turn there unit on and off by pushing above the power button. Try and press just below the headphone jack.
tried it. Didn't work for me.
Could it be that the plate is mounted wrong? Mine doesn't turn off, either.
something must be screwed up in there but everything looks normal round the power button and the heaephone jack.

Weirdly it does on mine also! Only noticed it after you mentioned it so I'm not too worried about it. I am curious about why it happens though

I'm not to worried about it either just wondering if there were more out there. Must be a manufacturing defect.

I've had my Acer a 100 for 7 months and the casing between the power button and the head phone socket behaves as if it's the power button including the, click. I'm worried there's a problem since upgrading to ICS the device will sometimes not waken from sleep with the power button nor the casing and I have to press the reset button

I got my replacement Defy today and I've noticed the volume rocker seems looser than on my first device. It can be heard rattling when the phone is shook even just lightly and also when the phone vibrates and when I tap on the area of the screen closest to the rocker. The question is will Amazon.co.uk accept this as a valid reason for another replacement? I have to say they were a delight to return to originally however the original problem wasn't as trivial.
Thanks
I would return it if it were mine. The reasons is, I'd be concerned about whatever kind of a seal is supposed to be in the rocker to keep water out may not be tight or may be missing. Just my two cents.
Mine does the same noise, but until now no leaking problems. And I must say that on mine even the power button is a bit loosy.

Same here - loosy power button and volume rocker.
Is the power button hard to press for anyone else? I have to press it kind of hard and to get the correct angle at it when compared to my 2012 N7
I'm finding that to be the case as well. I'm thinking we'll get used to it as we start using the devices more.

I find that it helps if you "pinch" the side of the tablet with your thumb and forefinger. Since the button is angled back at 45 degrees, it needs to be pushed both forward (toward you) and left. Bracing your thumb on the front of the device (bezel) will help your index finger pull at this angle. But yeah even then it is finicky. Helps to make sure you push the button in the center exactly. A little too high or low and it doesn't click as well.

Yes, I don't like the power button either

The only reliable way I've found to turn it on is to turn it face down and then press the button. I only seem to have problems when starting from a shutdown, not when just waking it up.
yeah, same. i wish it were more like the old nexus 7

Same here. I put my thumb on the side of the display and my index finger on the power button and kinda push them together.
Definitely could have made it easier to press. Hate having to think about turning on my device. Oh well small issue for a great tablet.

If you hold it in landscape mode and turn it on, it seems fine. Maybe google wants people to use it in landcape (the sideways nexus logo). I have this problem too. Once kernels with double tap to wake and slide to wake, I don't think I'll ever use the power button.
Yep this is the first thing I noticed.

Pretty sure the new Nexus 7 is extremely hyped up, so a lot of people care.
what? I love my Nexus, but the power button on the old nexus was more clicky and easier

Personally, I don't find it hard to press, it's just 5mm back of where i 'expected' it to be on the vertex. More usage will fix that.
I don't have a problem pressing it. Honestly, I think it fixes all the accidental times I pressed it on my first gen.

I feel its positioned at weird angle .
On my s4 you have to press from side at 90 degree ' where as on nexus 7 its kind of at 45 degree may be that's why it little weird . but its not a big deal , it will take few days to get use to it .

I'm surprised there is so little complaints of this design. It is one of my biggest issues with the new N7 - you pretty much have to pickup the tablet to press the volume or power buttons when it is laying on the table.
So my power button is acting up, and I think it's a hardware failure.
If the screen is on and I press the power button, the screen turns off, then back on, as if multiple key presses are being registered. If the screen is off and I press the power button, sometimes the long press power menu comes up.
I think the ribbon cable associated with the power button is failing, what do you guys think?
EDIT: just found out the power button is surface mounted to the mother board :-/ so that's a bummer if the power button is the issue.

First, and only, bump. Does anyone have any advice? I've ordered the blue plastic power button itself, but not the actual switch (I don't know how to surface mount).
I'm going to replace that. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to do. Can I reflow the power switch on the motherboard somehow?
Thanks

You can get a replacement part on ebay, but it is a piece that needs to be soldered to the board. You should call local cell repair shops and see if they have the expertise to do this.
I've had this issue for the last 3 months. I've just been using the home button as power on and quick toggle screen off.

Yeah. I'll see if this button replacement works first, then I'll look into having the actual switch replaced. I'm good at soldering, but I've never surface mounted, and I don't think my phone is a good place to experiment ha. I'll start looking into repair shops.

You use your home button as the power on and off? What do you use as the home button then?
The home button.
I never said I used the home button as power off, I use a quick toggles screen off setting for that

Did the plastic button change fix your problem? I think I am having a power button problem as well just not sure.
I recently purchased a 32GB N7 and I love it.... but.... the buttons have me wondering if I should exchange it. The problem: power button requires a couple of pushes to actually trigger the function, and the volume down is nearly flush with the frame. Volume up is perfect.
Thoughts?
How are yours?

I would take back.
I don't have those issues with mine. So you should return it since it isn't normal.

Hey Guys,
I have a problem with the power button on my rooted GS3 I747. Its hard to explain, but the power button is VERY sensitive. While in my pocket, or in my hand, it reboots a lot. Simply running my finger along the power button turns my screen off. I also have trouble turning off my phone because of the button. I was just wondering if there is anyway to completely disable the power button? (Returning to Samsung is not an option My warranty has finished)
Thank you

You can just fix the button or make a cut out in a case that covers the button.

A cheap case is all you need. Just cut out a hole for the power button. If you want to replace the button, you can search online and see how much it costs. You can fix it yourself. It's not hard.

A case has definitely helped, but it does not solve the problem. I'll look up and try and fix it myself. Thanks for the help
