Hi
It's just me or is the power button a bit lose? I don't know how to explaine it, but you can touch the power button a bit down before the device register that you are hitting the power button.

Yeah it feels cheap that's why I was wondring if it was only on mine. But I have this WIFI issue that annoys me to death too
I returned my first one because it had screen separation issues, but the power button was fine. This is my second infinity, and i did notice the power button to be a bit loose. Doesn't bother me as much as the raised screen issue
Yeah, mine's a little lose. Not worth retuning for IMO.

power and volume buttons are cheap. power is too loose, but volume up is too tight. volume down is just right.
Complain complain complain just for a power button that's a bit wiggly.

...another useless post by me...
My concern with the power and volume buttons is that will quit working - they are just so damn cheap! On a tablet where everything else is top-notch, I just can't understand why they use such cheap buttons - what good is this awesome tablet if you can't turn the damn thing on!?!?
It just makes no sense. Of all things, the Power button is simply too important to use such cheap, plastic buttons for!
There were plenty of TF101 users that had the same issue (power and volume buttons quit working) - and they were actually of higher quality that those in my TF700!
Oh well, just use them as little as possible, I guess (I personally use an app to reboot/power off if at all possible).

So everything was working fine but my volume button seemed to be sticking. So I reset the device hoping it might help, but now it will not turn on at all.
Called ASUS they bumped me up the command chain and I am waiting for a callback.
This sucks.
sometimes it will get stuck in odd modes, try holding the power button for a while (15~20 seconds), then try and start the tab again and make sure it isn't plugged in to your PC.

It was the volume up button that was stuck and my guess still is. The buttons felt weird right out of the box too. Have others been having this issue.
haven't seen any, try and pressing the volume button so it evens out and then booting?
Did as much as I could do with volume no help, if the nvflash mode was on would the screen turn on at all? My device just looks totally dead.
that's indeed what it does with volume up + power on, screen stays dead.
If you enter NVFlash mode, the display does not start up, but if you connect to your PC via USB, you should see an "APX" USB device.
Unfortunately this doesn't help much as there is nothing you can do with it in this mode.
Well I fixed it, would not have done so without your help. I sorta pried open the plastic that wraps around the edge of the device (the bezel its called I guess) with a small screw driver and fiddled around with the volume buttons until the unstuck.

Good to here. Further evidence that they rushed these a bit. Oh well.
Yeah the gray plastic piece that goes around the edge of the device feels very cheep. It does not stay attached very well which is how I think the volume button got stuck.

Grey plastic piece around the edge? Do you mean the plastic back cover? Cos round the edge of my eee pad its all metal. If its plastic it sounds like you don't have a final retail model.

Mine did that to me too in class, my heart stopped when it wouldnt turn on
I held the power button for about 10 seconds, no success
Let it sit for a few min, then tried it again, then it worked
I may have pressed the power button differently , can remember, like towards the edge
I also may have wiggle the buttons around, not sure, i was freaking out and tried every button combo lol

Now that I look at it it does feel like metal, but its very thin and almost feels like plastic.
Something must have happened during shipping becasue the volume buttons work better now then they did when I first unboxed it
Asus Reset
Try Holding down the Power Button and the Down Volume Button, Everything else seemed to do nothing
Woke up this morning and it appears my TF had entered this "OFF" state. I held the power button for about 10 seconds and it rebooted. I had the lock screen and the wifi notifications turned off so that doesn't seem to be a solution.I Hope this is something that Asus can fix with an update as I bought this from Newegg and I can't return it for a refund...

Uh oh, don't say that around here, some people don't want to know the ugly truth about how a tablet like this sells for $400
My Transformer power button feels a little lose compared to the volume button... is the power button like this on all Eepads or should I exchange mine? works fine but it feel weird...
TIA!
I have two, and both of them have power buttons that are solid, as are the volume buttons. If exchanging it is an option, I think that's a good idea. I don't think you'd want to find one day that you are unable to turn the thing on because the power button's come completely loose or something.
My power button is slightly loose as well. I work at Best Buy, and our demo model is slightly loose too. I think it's just luck of the draw. I doubt it will ever pop off or anything, but it's definitely not as tight as the volume knockers on some models.
Same here, my power button is slightly loose too. Bought it a couple weeks ago, B70 SBK2.
Although I'm not afraid of the button malfunctioning, y try to use it as little as possible, just like in all of my gadgets.
Its probably the weakest point on all of them, along with batteries. (Imo)

Hey all! Just something bothering me for a bit but I just wanted someone or preferably a few people to check and confirm something that may be a problem with my Note. Is the power button raised lower than the volume buttons? I say this because the volume buttons extrude out further and are more rigid than the power button on my note. To be honest this does make pressing the power button easier, but once again, just checking. This doesn't affect the Note in anyway, just something on my mind. Thanks for any replies!

That's how mine is too.. power button is half the height I'd say.
They are all like that. Obviously part of the design to make it easier to find the volume button, and harder to hit the power button by mistake.

the power button of my phone feels a little bit fragile. is it normal? it feels like pressing a key on a keyboard. I just want to confirm whether if the power button is softer than other model. or is it a factory defect? i don't want to return this unless I am sure that this is a factory defect.

I'm having issues with my power button sticking on my Pixel. Has anyone else seen this?
I don't have a direct response to your problem just an opinion. Seeing as how clicky this power button is, as in how hard it is to depress, that leads me to believe it would be hard to get this thing stuck. I would recommend returning it.
I think every phone is a little different my power button rattles it's loose. I would also recommend replacing it, of the power button is sticking it may get to a point where the phone will keep rebooting it's self until you pry that button loose.

Thanks for the info. I'm afraid that if I return it I'll get a new Pixel that I can't unlock.

Lol don't worry about that all google phones are unlockable. Even if they have the newest firmware so no need to worry.
I've been having quality issues with the power button on my XL. It doesn't really stick, but it felt really mushy most of the times I'd press it in the past 2 weeks making it really hard to double tap for the camera. At some point this weekend, the button has changed its response... it now clicks every time as it should, but sometimes there is a slight click before I even depress the button, resulting in a slight click followed by the actual click when the button is activated. Really annoying... hoping it fixes itself. I don't want to RMA and risk getting a refurb.

Unless you got the new Pixel from Verizon, you will be able to unlock it. I had the sticking power button issue with my old Nexus 5, what I tried was to use a small magnet to kind of 'pull' the power button out. It might work, but it might damage the phone either, so I would recommend to get the device replaced. I'm not sure if you still retain warranty after unlocking the bootloader (I was told otherwise by Google support, but Google India support is usually complete garbage). It worked on Nexus devices so it should work with the Pixel.

I am having similar problems to the point that I had to download a power button app to mitigate the turn off the screen, as sometimes it was impossible to operate the button normally, it won't clic and sometimes it will. Another thing worth mentioning is that the phone works much better almost perfect with the original Pixel Fabric Case (which I hate) and the problems increase with the buttons exposed when using it naked or with a slim case.

I can put an invisible power button on your statusbar if you like and have root.
Maybe... Don't soak it, but try dabbing the power button crevices with a cotton swab and ethanol. Let it dry.... Worth trying before an RMA at least.

I'm having the same issue. Every now and then when I push the power button the power off options come up. Sometimes the phone reboots but gets hung and wont finish booting until I tap the power button a few times to get it unstuck. My sales rep from work told me Verizon should warranty an exchange so im returning it for another phone.
