I’ve got different tabs states in a side-menu view. The only classes that the ion-tabs have are tabs-icon-top and tabs-_color_.

They show up on the bottom, where I expect them, when testing in desktop. When I built and ran for my Android device (Nexus 7) the tabs were at the top and they had the stripe beneath the active tab. Also, the nav-bar title moved from center to left aligned.

Anybody else having this issue, or know whats up with this?

This is the post/comment that will be most helpful I think. [Beta 14 Tab went top of the screen](http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/beta-14-tab-went-top-of-the-screen/14179/4)

Ah, thanks. I mean, it looks great this way, but it’s odd that I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere along the way.
