When fixing my loose stylus I managed to break the small spring loaded volume slider. It appears that when I disassembled I lost a part that fits between the slider button and the electronic component on the circuit board. Does anyone know if there is a removeable part here that can be lost? Anyone want to donate one. Or lastly how about a place to buy one? Thanks.
Anyone have any spare volume slider button to sell ? Mine on black DOPOD 818 Pro is broken, desperately need the replacement. Help please... Thank you....

I have sets of spare buttons. The side buttons (camera, volume slider, comm manager, power, that purple plastic bit that covers the infrared, and the little rubber thing that goes on the camera panel above the speaker) are $5 for the set. Delivery is about $3.
Nicholas, thanks for the reply. Anyway, please check your PM. Hope we could do business immediately...

it's difficult to get a so small parts, you can try to find it from others whose phone is complete broken and have you needed button fortunately. We have the whole complete housing.
Not sure if this happened before I dropped it at Christmas or not... BUT...
My volume button is sticking out at the bottom. So the end that lowers the volume. It's all good up the top. Any ideas how I can, or where to get this, fixed. I'm in Sydney.
I opened the battery compartment to have a look, but there is a void sticker over one of the screws. So don't wanna go there unless its a guarantee fix.

i think you're totally missing the point. lol
anyway, can't you just push it in? give it a lil force until it snaps back into place. let me know what happens.
just noticed that I can increase volume on my DHD, but can't lower the volume. restarted it, thinking that it might be a sw bug, but it still doesn't work.
is this the issue you guys are experiencing?
hope it's easy to solve, since I'm in Brazil and bought the phone in Germany.
best regards
André

André, i really don't think so...
I'm getting same trouble, the button works fine, but the down side (to decrease volume) is a little out, if compared with up side that stays closer to the frame, looks like a "seesaw"... i believe you got a hardware issue...

I have same design issue. Upper part of button (volume up) is more inside the phone and volume down part sticks a bit out.
Still buttons work as they should.

I don't exactly have same issue but close.
My volume rockers work, it's just they both are sunken to bottom and haven't that normal touch i've seen on other DHDs
Kindda nasty. Has anybody went to HTC to fix that? I'd love to know before sending... or not
yeah it seemed so for mine too.. but then i dotn have much problem with mine ..
Had a similar problem for me within first 14 days of my contract, just sent it back and got a replacement under warranty with orange. Maybe HTC or your carrier can do the same thing.

Thanks a lot, this is what I was looking for. I may send it sometime during exams (where I'll miss it less )
Got kind of the same problem, my volume down button is not nearly as responsive as my volume up button.

OMG the bottom voice button is so weak..I am afraid of mine now...
my volume button popped out, doesn't sit flush and keep catching.
Added some glue to keep it held down, need to fit a replacement! Anyone know how to?

I have same issue with volume key, seems quite a common problem, surely covered by factory warranty?
Fixed my volume button
I had the exact same problem with my volume rocker, the bottom part was sticking out but the top seemed all right.
I've just fixed it with a bit of glue and by only removing the battery lid.
For what it's worth, here's how I did it.
If you remove the battery lid you can gently pry out the loose end of the volume rocker, just a little so you can see what's supposed to hold it back.
There's a piece of plastic glued to the bottom of the volume rocker that's come partly undone.
I just put a toothpick between the case and the volume button, so it's sticking out.
Then I used another toothpick to get some superglue on the loose piece of plastic.
After that I removed the first toothpick and pressed down on the volume button for a bit.
Now it's all tight and snug like it used to be.
Be careful with the glue so you don't glue the rocker to the case or something.
Hey thanks if my breaks its gonna be useful!
Had this problem, bottom volume became almost completely unresponsive and has really been bugging me for a few months now, so today I took the whole aluminium volume rocker off, slightly different experience to the post above.
Basically it's constructed pretty poorly, the aluminium rocker forms a latch at the top which holds onto the body of the device above where the button is seated.
The bottom of the rocker then has a plastic flap which is glued into a hole to hold the rocker on, this flap had more or less come off for me, seems very poorly manufactured, so I pulled up more and the whole button came off.
The actual volume buttons themselves are very small and these are seated in the housing of the device between this latch at the top and the plastic flap at the bottom. The rocker has two pieces which push down on the buttons to operate them.
Some dirt and grime had built up in there so I scraped that all off first with the head of a Phillips size 00 screwdriver.
I put a very small balled piece of paper on top of the volume down button and it's now working fine again, I just need to glue that flap back down so the rocker doesn't come loose. If the piece of paper is too big the volume rocker won't go down at all so you have to get the size right, relieved to have a working volume button again though.
search the forum, someone wrote how he fixed his button using a bit of superglue. it works like a charm. basically the volume rocker is held onto the phone with a rubber base. with time the rocker comes unglued from the rubber base. if you use something thin, like a toothpick or a small cutting knife you can insert a very small amount of glue between the 2 and glue them back together. just don't overdo it with the glue or you'll end up gluing the rocker to the body! i did it on mine and now it's as good as new
After dozens of falls the side panel (with the buttons) got dislodged a bit in the edge. So I tried to remove it in order to straighten it and glue it. Don't ask how but I dropped by accident the volume button in the toilet.... Now I am missing the volume button and the side panel is very bent to the point I am not sure if I will be able to straighten it perfectly. Apart from that the phone works like a charm despite all the accidents!
Where do I find the volume button and the side panel if possible? Thanks for any heads up!

You can find a replacement housing on ebay here
Thank you for the fast reply! I also found these cases which also include buttons and they are quite cheap. Do you know if they are any good though?

It seems that the side panel is not seperate with the front panel and not meant to be removed and/or installed again.
