IMO Note 2 has a major flaw with hardware buttons placement, where volume buttons located on exact opposite side of power button, which means in my experience 99% pressing power button I accidentally press volume button too.
Does Note 3 have the same flaw or they actually shifted these buttons away from each other?
P.S.
Also I hope they didn't swap sides for these buttons, making power button on left.
Sorry to report the power and volume up/down are on the direct opposite sides from each other so when you hit power you are gonna hit volume 99% of time as well.
That sucks. Hopefully being narrower it wouldn't be as bad...
On N4 they better move power button higher! or...I'd buy it anyway, I guess...

Just received my N10 - 16GB and was trying to figure out how to take a screenshot. From everything I read it's, Hold Power Button + Vol Down. That didn't work. It was just as if I held down the Power Button by itself and it gave me the popup window for Power Off / Airplane Mode.
I then realized that the Vol Down is actually in the top position, closest to the Sleep/Power and Vol up is in the bottom. Is this normal? I don't recall the Nexus 7 having the volume buttons reversed.
Also, trying to take a screen shot still doesn't work for me. Anyone having these issues?
Thanks,
The tablet is designed for landscape use.....so at the top left of the tablet is Power, Volume - and then Volume +
Press and HOLD both Power and Volume - at the same time, it takes a few seconds (about 2.5 seconds based on doing it right now and counting LOL).
Do not press one then the other. Put your fingers over both then press at the same time.

Much appreciated the quick answer. From my other Android devices, it was either hold power/sleep first then either Vol down or Home button. I tried your suggestion and it works now. Even gives an audible tone.
Anybody else find this really awkward?
It'd be much better if I could do a screenshot by holding the power button down and tapping the home button. Much like the One X etc.
Anyone else think the power button should be a little higher to be aligned with the volume buttons. I'm right handed and it's a little in the way of my thumb.
Not really. Well in my case it's perfectly aligned with the way I hold my phone on my right hand. I have a bigger than medium sized hand, I think.

That's why they placed it there, to be in the way of your thumb.
It is 100 % placed in perfect area. I used to end the call by pressing power button and its position perfectly comes under my thumb while cutting the calls.
I have a small-medium (size 7-8 glove) hand and I find it perfectly placed. I'd hate stretching for the power button if it was higher.
It's placed perfectly for me as well except for the volume buttons, can't stand where they are placed.

If anything I think the volume buttons are placed a little too high
I agree with others here, power button is perfectly placed, volume buttons are too high, I'd prefer the volume down button to be inline with the power button.
Fact is that volume buttons are placed too much high instead xD
And I'd liked a nexus-way for screenshot taking: vol- + power, not power + home.
The first one is perfect for one-handed use, the latter is not.
Thanks, guys, for pointing out something that never used to really bother me before, but yes, now that you mention it, the volume buttons ARE too high. LOL
The button placement kind of sucks. instead of a toggle for volume, there are two small buttons places really closely together, and then the power/screen off button directly above that.
trying to take a screenshot is a little difficult with this setup., and often trying to turn up volume ****s off screen.
Anyone have button positioning issues on this model?
no... all phones have vol up and vol down buttons and then a power button... Samsung does volumes on left and power on right. moto does all on the right. taking a screenshot is easy. just power and volume down. that's it. not complicated... and the power button is textured whereas the volumes are smooth so that you can feel the power button is different. It only slightly sucks when you have a case that doesn't do that.

How are your power and volume buttons in regards to them being loose or not? Mine are just a little loose. Nothing too major but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me just s little.

My power button is fine, the volume was very loose and rattly. This along with the non-flush panel on the back and some cosmetic damage on the frame led me to exchange it. Just waiting for my replacement now.
My power button is fine. The volume button is loose on mine though.
Bothers me too, but the rest of the phone is fine so I'm not going to RMA unless I find something really wrong about it.
Mine do not rattle, but the power button requires little force to be depressed. I have accidentally turned off the screen multiple times. My volume buttons are fine though.
The power button on my 6P is very smooth. No "click" when pressing, just..smooth if you will. The volume rocker makes a distinct click pressing either up or down & takes slightly more pressure to click. And I mean slightly!
No complaints here. That's the way it's supposed to be!
Volume button are fine. Power button..eh... smooth? They seem mushy to me. All buttons should have at least SOME feedback. I'm not even sure I hit it most of the time.
My power and volume up button seem some what loose.
anyone else have the same problem with me ?
isit normal these button is loose :crying:
Why did you make a poll with one vote?
Also yes, I have my power button loose and my volume buttons as well. I exchanged the phone and the new one did not have this problem.
