Just received my tf today, everything was working great so far but then I noticed that the volume down button doesn't do anything although the volume up button and power/lock button are clearly functional. Any idea if its a hardware/software issue? What should I do?

My tf's volume up and down works but my power button doesn't, I can't turn if off. To turn the screen on I have to plug my charger in or eject my micro sd.
Posting my issue because it sounds like we are having similar problems.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
received mine today aswell and my volume rocker doesnt work. All it does is make the volume slider show up on the screen but doesnt lower the volume. Other than that love it
I'm having the same problem with my volume up button. Aside from that, I'm loving it.
Those with volume issues hold the power button and shut the tablet totally off, should be fixed after restart.

It is a known bug and when I rebooted the TF, everything back to normal. Try it.

Yesterday I unlocked following olimpro steps.
But since I did that my up volume button is not working fine.
It keeps pressed all the way up. Pressing the down volume button it makes the volume down but a lil bit later it will be pressed up (with the annoying sound that makes when you press up or down)
I think is more a software issue rather than a hardware cause I press both volume buttons and they feel O.K.
I want to know if one of you guys experienced this issue before. And is kinda funny cause it was working fine until I ran the olimpro unlocker. I'm not telling was his excellent solution but maybe some registry keys were affected.
Anyone ever have issue with one of the volume buttons stop working? My down key doesn't decrease volume anymore but up key still works. When I go into recover with holding both volume up and down that still works. I can't find a solution. Anyone?
Mine still works as Vol Down, but the springiness of it is gone. In other words it doesn't feel like there is a detent for volume down, no feedback, I don't know if it is being pressed without seeing the screen. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I'm concerned with the build quality of this phone. I've only had it for 6 months, and the Vol Down has that issue, and the camera lense cover is cracked. What is next? How will I make it to 12/22/11 when I am eligible for another upgrade?
I have a weird problem where the power and volume buttons don't work when the screen is locked. I know it is not a hardware issue because I had this problem for a couple days, then the power button started working again perfect the next day and now its back to not working. When the screen is unlocked, the volume keys work perfect and controls volume as it normally would. I downloaded some apps to enable the volume keys to work as an unlock button, but they fail to work.
As a last resort, I was going to flash a new rom to see if it would help, however when I boot into recovery mode, the volume keys don't work and i cant move up and down through the options. In addition, I've noticed that when I do a battery pull and put the battery back in, the phone automatically boots up as if the power button was held down.

Your power button is failing. It is a hardware issue. Send it for repair.

Do you have an idea of why the volume buttons aren't working though as an unlock button with apps tho? I also question whether it is a hardware problem because this has happened in the past before and then suddenly the power button works again perfect for months. It is just very annoying for me to sit here and hope for it to start working again.

It's a known issue that when the power button stay stuck the other buttons don't work. It sucks, but that's what it is. Nexus S always had this power button problem and usually you can send it to samsung to get it fixed. Some people have tried to fix it themselves without too much luck...
I dropped my NS the other day and now the power button has became very finicky. I've read about others with power button problems but from the issues I'm experiencing I think the problem might be software related and not caused by dropping it.
When the screen is off, hitting the power button always turns the screen back on but sometimes brings up the power menu
When the screen is on, press and long pressing the power button doesn't do anything
When the phone is off, pressing the power button turns the phone on, and I can get to the bootloader using the power + volume up
The power button issues I'm having only seem to happen when the screen is on, otherwise the power button works like it should. I've clean installed my rom twice but the porblem stays the same.

Hardware.
It will probably fail on you completely eventually.
Anyone is experiencing a lag when turning off the screen in when the capacitive buttons go to sleep? Everytime I lock it, I accidentally touch one of the buttons and the screen turn on again.
Thanks!

Not here....even when I tap feverishly after I first press the power button.
I can confirm that the back button still works for about 1 second after I've pressed the power button. It's never been an issue for me though.

Now that you mention it, yes. The back button does register after the power button is pressed for about a second. Never happened to me even once, though.
