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, 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
I tried that cardboard trick, it helps but makes your phone case look ugly or steak out on a weird way. Sometimes it will hit both buttons. This fix will solve all these problems.
Here's the best way to fix the tpu case Volume buttons. Very simple.
Simply take a very small razor blade or a exact o knife and cut around the volume up buton but leave a 1/8th of a inch pivot point in between The volume up and down button. Next do the same for the down button.
I hope this solves everyones problem with these nice TPU cases if I Help to you please send me a thanks....

I just did this and it works well. The volume keys are much easier to press.
Here are some pics of how far I cut.
The first image shows that the cut is not noticeable unless you look very closely under direct light.

I used duct tape instead. Three strip layers inside the case made perfect contact w/ the volume rocker. Its working perfectly now!
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to cut the plastic over the volume buttons off entirely...
Depends how fat your fingers are. The hole can get a little narrow, making it harder to press than the suggestion above.
IMO though wait a week before doing anything. I thought they were a little stiff at first, but I just pushed them in and out about 30 times with the case off and they loosened up. I actually prefer it stock now, as I don't press the volume buttons by accident when holding the phone in landscape mode and it isn't bad at all now that it has loosened up.
OMG! The duct tape works perfectly. Pain to cut it but now the buttons work like butter!!! Weeeee.
So I was browsing the Internet on my phone, not touching the rocker and it fell off :-\.... I remember a thread a few months back with fixes for the problem... Can someone who has had this happen to them suggest an effective fix?

Lol, not laughing at your misfortune but I've seen this same thing on a Verizon website. Sadly I didn't see a solution tho I do have one of my own. I've never experienced this problem but you may want to invest in a Trident case. Go on youtube and search xperia play trident case, it's a 3 layer case including a rubber inlay which covers the back half of the phone along with the power button and the volume rocker. My theory is, if you put the volume rocker back in place and then apply the case your volume button should stay in position. Obviously this isn't quite "fixing" the volume rocker but it's probably the next best thing next to getting a whole new phone that is. I do in fact own this case tho and might i say it's the best case available for the xperia play without a doubt. Typically Outter Box is the leader in phone cases but they dropped the ball on the XP. The trident case is super protective, makes pressing buttons easier, increases grip, has designs and grip for air circulation and style, 1 year warranty and a water resistance paint job. At this point is sounds like I work for the damn company but no seriously this case is superb. I got mine from amazon last October and it's held up with very minimal wear & tear.
does anyone else's buttons creak a little when being pressed? i have no trouble clicking the button itself, but when i run my finger over the power button and volume button, i can definitely feel and hear a slight creak which annoys me.. (home button is completely fine)
do you think it's worth an exchange?
I wouldn't necessarily say it would be worthy of an exchange, but that's my opinion. My buttons do not creak, but I do not remember if they ever did before either. Exchange it if you feel it'll bother you a lot, if not, the creak will eventually go away from wear.
Remember it is a Samsung not an HTC
I have the same problem. Volume buttons are a bit creaky.

The only button that's creaky on my unit is the home button. Nothing particularly annoying though. At first when I noticed it I thought the rest of the build would be shoddy, but it definitely isn't.

My home button creaks. It sounds like it is coming from the flimsy battery cover. With a tpu case it does not do it on mine.

So my Pixel 2 XL fell out of my pocket on to carpet (thankfully) but when I picked it up I noticed the volume buttons were missing. My volume buttons had popped out of the phone but good thing I was able to find the piece and pop it back in. I think this is just a terrible design, the volume buttons are held in by only 2 small rubber clips. The fact that it popped out so easily makes me question the water resistance. I'm able to pull out the volume buttons if I pull the top using my fingernail. Not good. I went to Best Buy to try this on the display model and I was able to pull out the volume buttons also but it was slightly more difficult, I guess mine is just unlucky. The power button seems okay though. Anyone else encounter this?
