When I press the volume button to the left, the software volume sliders moves right (gets louder).
This is when the volume buttons are on top of the tablet, which I believe is the upright position (camera lenses are on top / Nexus logo is upright).
Is everyone else's volume backwards, or is it just me? It seems like Asus has made a mistake.
Its the same on mine. I wouldn't call it a mistake. more so a prefence. If it bothers you, you may have a bad case of ocd.
Perhaps it is OCD, but who would prefer it this way? Completely reversed to the software volume. It was a manufacturing mistake, it just has to be.
Its designed with portrait mode. Press up to increase volume and down to decrease volume.
It would be confusing if the volume rocker increased the volume in portrait, but the same button decreased in landscape.

Seeing as I use mine in portrait mode unless I am playing a game or watching a video, I actually prefer it this way. It's not really an error, just more of a design choice. It is going to be wrong in either mode unless you rotate it the other way. I'd say they just should have put the ASUS written in the other direction and have people flip it the other way.

Your hands will cover the lenses the other way. It could have worked if the cameras were at the other end.

True, there are several changes that would need to be made other than the ASUS writing. Look at the GS3 (even though it isn't a tablet), volume rocker on the left side works well too.

If I tap just below the camera on the back cover I can hear a slight rattle, almost like a loose component. You can slightly hear it if you shake the phone but it becomes louder when tapping it.
Does anyone else have this or is it just me?

What you hear is probably the camera lens - the bit that moves inside to focus the subject. Its like it on all phones with this type of lens (had it on HD and HD2).
Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it was meant to be like that and the it isnt faulty.
Its problably the volume rocker, its a bit loose fit. It is the rattle with me..
Today I was watching a movie and discovered if holding the tablet in landscape wiih the home button on the left side, viewing angle was drastically improved. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Well...it was a knowed "feature"
But it is nice to see that i'm not the only one that find it a good escamoutage
It's funny, that exact "feature" is also present on my cheaper "ainol basic tab"... I wonder if the manufacturers put the devices together like this for a reason, or is it just a mistake? I got used to it, and always hold it in a certain angle (with the power button to the right, the normal way) with no problem.
Yea I noticed one side of the screen had a really crappy viewing angle. Its the portrait left side and I have also have been trying to avoid the bad side when viewing netflix

Yea The viewing angle is very good on the A100. The only issue is they put the logo and default orientation backwards IMO.. LOL
Example:
Right side up for a right handed person holding the device with left hand.
-The screen looks MUCH BETTER at angles
-The left hand tends to cover up the front camera, also its much easier to use the volume key with the right hand when it's in the bottom right(upside down).
-The power key is accessible with right hand when upside down.
Cons- Hand now covers up the crappy little speakers, Thumb part of palm can now activate home if you hold it wrong. This is all very easily avoided with a headset and just not squeezing with your thumb's palm.
I just couldn't get used to the viewing angles. You had to tip it to the left to get the best viewing angle. Took it back.
...still looking for the best 7" tablet...
Hi.
do you hear a little sound when you give little taps on the back near the mic jack?
down I have no sound but when I tap on top, I hear something like something was not fixed.
what could be it?

Hehehe, you and I seem to have done the same thing when we bought it. If I had to take a wild guess at what that is, I would say it is a loose fit of the volume rocker, or the power button. The thing is rock solid though, I had the 2012 and that thing creaked and flexed all over the place. I'll take a rattle from knocking on the back.
I think my volume rocker does the same thing just a small rattle and you dont really notice it unless your looking out for it
Yes u are right.
come from volume rocker.
seem holes have too much play.
Im pretty sure its the camera autofocus mechanism you are hearing. Same on all devices with autofocusing cameras.

That's exactly right.
ja.
tried with my phone.
same type of sound.
I was wondering if the 2 cameras at the bottom of the phone can be used as back and overview buttons on CM.

Not sure exactly what you mean? There's only 1 camera button...
If you're asking about programming certain buttons the best solution I have found is xposed additions. It'll let you reassign any button. Cost like $3 but works well.
I think his idea was to use the cameras as buttons... like "cover the lens to trigger a button command".
Even if it was possible, I doubt it's a good idea since most people will partially cover one lens with part of their palm in most situations. ^^
+1 for "additions" in general... can enhance the user experience on many "cheap" china phones as well (ahem, UMI...)

Ya, that's what I meant. My thinking was: if the cameras are capable of tracking head motion, they are capable of detecting Light and Dark conditions. Complete dark for a second could be considered as a single button press. While the palm covering the lens could present as a bit of a hurdle, I think by using a particular range of values for time and light, the two cameras at the bottom, which are lying useless right now in CM, could be used as 2 buttons.
Anyone has a little play in their volume button, like almost feels a little loose. Just wondering if thats normal?
I've been wondering about this all day today, too. I have the same issue. Is just slightly wobbly, and every now and then when I put it down on the table it makes a very brief and slight rattle noise. Although I've read elsewhere this could be the camera autofocus system.
Otherwise, the button feels pretty good when pressed - gives a nice solid click. I wouldn't have noticed, to be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I kept thinking the screen protector was peeling off whenever my finger brushed the button and I felt the small amount of movement the button gives.
Having checked a few of the other phones I have around the house (Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, Nexus 4, iPhone 4 - all the fours!), they all appear to have a bit of give in their volume rockers/buttons, except the Nexus 4.
My girlfriend also has a OnePlus 3 - will check hers when she gets home.
I have it too. I can move the complete button up and down just a little.
I just checked my girlfriend's OP3 and it has an identical amount of movement in it. Seems to be by design.

I have very little play vertically, like 1 mm. It's not really noticeable in day to day use.
My issue with the volume buttons is, volume down feels "clickier" than volume up. Volume up needs little more pressure to press compared to volume down and power button. The button also seems to go deeper when pressed, compared to the other two buttons. I was wondering if that's normal. I love everything about the phone, but that button kinda worries me.
Mine doesn't seem to have any movement except vertical movement of a minimal amount
my volume keys move slightly to the right and left, is this normal?
sorry for my english
