Hi,
I have a AT&T Tilt2 on which suddenly the volume rocker up button stop working as volume button and then brings me to the home screen from within any app!! I am unable to figure out why this would happen - its a stock AT&T ROM with some apps that I installed like - OperaBeta, HDWallS, Resco.
Even when I hold down the call drop button for sometime, the device does not lock! It vibrates but does nothing - just shows me the home screen.
Any idea on why this would happen ? has anyone seen this happen to their cell too ?
Thanks
Dhanvi
My volume buttons occasionally acts up too. They suddenly act as up and down keys rather than volume up and down keys. Very rarely though. A soft reset makes it go away each time.
...guess it was having an identity crisis...
I've been having problems with my volume buttons. And soft reseting doesn't solve the problem. The volume buttons work in the lock screen. But when i'm at the home screen they just open and close the volume screen.
I have a tilt 2 with the stock rom.

This is frustrating. If I wake my phone by pressing the Home button i get taken to my designated home screen and not to the open app. The same does not happed if i wake the phone with the power button. This really annoys me in situations where i have the phone on a desktop as i have to use two hands to wake the phone!
Is there a way to change the action of the home button in this situation?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Enable a lockscreen! That was easy
This application blocks the ringer mode to avoid changing the mode when the phone is locked (screen on)
this is a workaround for the following strange behavior / bug on stock android 4.2+:
Note: my phone uses a pattern to unlock screen.
- Steps to reproduce the problem.
1.Lock the phone, and light the screen with power button.
2.Long press power button until the power off menu appears.
3.Press the power button to close the screen.
- What happened.
4.After that, every time the screen is lighted (but not unlocked), press the volume keys can change the volume though no music is playing at all.
The volume keys keep working each time I turn on the screen without unlocking, and it is back to normal when I unlock the phone use the unlock pattern and lock again.
- What you think the correct behavior should be.
The volume keys should not work at all when the phone is showing lock screen, it has accidentally muted my phone and led to missed calls. This is worse than power off menu it self. Since power off menu only appears with long press, but when ever the menu appears once, the volume keys work every time until I re-lock the phone.
And also I don't think the power off menu should appear by long pressing during locking state, since it is quite possible that the power button can be long pressed even in my pocket during taking the phone in or out.
P.S. When the phone is rebooted and went into lock screen the first time, the volume keys will work on lock screen without the necessity of showing the power-off menu.

I don't know what's wrong with my phone, but the screen display is messed up. Sometimes, the screen will display if I keep clicking the power button one-hundred times, but other than that it won't budge. Everything thing else works when I press the power button, the keyboard lights up, the home button and other buttons light, just not the screen. Like I said, I have to repeatedly press the power button so that in a slight chance, the screen might display.
I HATE THIS PHONE! What, do I do?

Need more info.
Can you access the recovery partition and it works fine? Access the recovery partition by powering on the device by holding down: Volume Down, Camera, and Power. Release when the hardware icons light up (down on the bottom: settings, home, back, search). You should see a menu appear after several seconds.
If the recovery partition does work fine have you tried a factory reset?
If it is still problematic within the recovery partition then it is more than likely a hardware issue. Possibly a problem with the power button?
Hi Friends...:crying:
My Xperia Z1c Phone was good but dont know what happen to it "Power button Stopped Working" all of a sudden.
Phone Problem are:
1) Power Button Not Working
2) Power button function shifted to Volume up key
3) whenever i press volume up key.. volume increases but at the same time power button function activates...i mean it asks for power off, restart,profiles,screenshot... just like power button functions. both power button and volume up key runs when volume up key is pressed.
4) i am unable to turn off my phone... so i had to turn off my phone by pressing volume up key. even it gets turn off it restarts itself. i believe there is some Hardware problem.??
5) when i press and hold volume up key for 3 yo 4 sec it vibrates 3 times and gets turn off just like we do it by pressing the small button next to sim slot.
i think this is strange hardware problem... anybody got solution for this Problem or i need to take my phone to Local repair shop..?
Please help me.......:crying:
Hello,
I want to upgrade my unit from Android 6 to 8 but I have never been able to get into recovery mode with the buttons on my unit. I do have a reset, and I do have physical buttons, but I can hold the reset button and the lights never flash. I also dont have a power button, instead the knob, which I push it down is a mute mode. ive tried using the method between the reset key and mute knob with no success, I've also tried holding the reset key for 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min. The lights never flash.
I tried the keyboard method, but it doesnt appear my keyboard is responsive until android begins to boot, the numlock key doesnt respond.
The keys on my unit are as follows:
Navi, Band, Menu, Mode, Knob for Volume, that knob pushes down to mute. The other side I have eject, track forward, track reverse, play/pause and a knob for tuning the radio/dimming lights.
Can I modify the mcu to change what the buttons do? Please help!
halp!
no one?
YES!!! I figured it out!!
I went into key study, changed the push button for the left volume knob from mute to power button. Then its just normal procedure. Hold down the new power button until it turns off. push it again for it to turn on and hold it down to go into recovery.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future
