Anyone ever have the volume up/down buttons on the side of the phone stop functioning correctly?
Looks like the buttons themselves still work (they now scroll up/down on pages instead of adjusting volume up/down). Any suggestions?
I'm running Energy Rom sense 2.5, cookie hometab 1.6 and HDwalls with cookie patch.
Thanks
Didy ou install the keyboard fix after installing the energy ROM?
Thanks for the response. No - was not aware of one. I can check out the energy thread for it.
Odd though because this just happened yesterday (volume sidebar was working fine before then) and ive been running the rom for like two weeks now. Only new thing I did yesterday was install transparent tabs, a cookie tab fix and new wallpaper thru HD Wall.

I know there are reg edits available in cab form that change the vol up/down buttons into up/down scroll buttons. Nothing in your list would be likely to include that, but it's possible...that's the only thing I can think of that would change their behavior like that.
Thanks. I might just look to isolate those two areas and try to set back. I also have that zoombar app (to use for other purposes) but dont think that would affect it, plus I didnt have the problem until days after i installed.
Tried soft/hard reset as well with no avail.

I'm guessing you mean just a soft-reset (rebooting)..? A hard-reset is where you wipe the memory clean putting everything in the OS back to stock settings (or back to the fresh version of a custom ROM, if you've flashed one on to your device). If you've hard-reset and this problem still persisted, then you can pretty much rule out software as a cause...
Yes, my approach would be to just start uninstalling stuff in reverse order, soft-resetting and testing after each item removed.
Yep - definitely meant soft reset. I'll try your advice. Thanks so much.

No problem! Good luck, and let us know what you find
Hi SirPhunk
Deleted everything that I'd installed since the problem occured and still no luck :-/. Buttons on side of phone still scrolling up/down, instead of adjusting volume.
I also tried the Sprint keyboard fix for Energy roms, but no luck there as well. Any other ideas? Do you happen to know if theres a way to search for the value in my registry?
Thanks again
If you want to go searching in your resgistry for it, PHM_Regedit and Total Commander can both search for specific keys...I would just try the string "volbutton" or even just "volb*", something like that.
Now, even though you didn't see the issue immediately when you installed it, I think there's still a possibility that the zoombar app could be the culprit....I would try uninstalling that too (if you haven't already) before you start doing the extra work.
EDIT: It also might be easiest to just install Rhodium Keyboard Controller (attached below) and use it to manually map them back to stock function (don't ask me why I didn't think of that in the first place ). In fact, if you do that, try uninstalling RKC right after doing that mapping, and I'll bet they return to their stock function after that even without the app being needed anymore.
Sir Phunk, Thank you for taking the time to investigate and the response, Sir Phunk. I went ahead and dloaded the cab to my storage card, but cant seem to find the files in order to run and edit the keys manually. Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm still learning the ins n' outs. Maybe this will help me fully install programs that may be hanging around (even though I went to the "remove programs" section and deleted them).
Please advise if you have a chance. Again, my apologies as I am still learning. Thank you again.

Will do...full instructions coming first thing in the morning
Hey stenuine, let's see if we can get this working for you...
First, I'm again guilty of not explaining things well enough (seriously), my apologies. That file I posted earlier is actually a .zip file, with 2 .cab files inside...it'll be easiest if you download it to your PC desktop, unzip the 2 files out of there, and then copy them over to the SD card.
[TIP: I would strongly recommend creating a "cabs" folder at the root-level of your storage card, and using that to retain any cabs that you run and know that work, even if you're not still using them at the moment. That way, you'll always have easy access to any of them, even through flashes and hard-resets]
The first file in that .zip is the sdkcerts cab, run that one first. It allows your phone to use many of the homebrewed apps and tweaks found here at xda. After that one's installed (do a soft-reset again if the install doesn't force that anyway, always a good habit), then you can just run the keyboard controller cab to install it. Once you have the app installed, the icon to run it is found in:
Settings -> All Settings -> System (it will say "Keyboard Config").
Once you get it installed ok, here's how to use it to get your key's mapped the way you want:
1. When you first open the app, you'll see what's in the first screenshot below(pretty much a blank screen).
2. Click "Menu" in the bottom right
3. Click "Add key" from the menu
4. You'll see the dialog in the 2nd screenshot below, go ahead and tap the volume-up button
5. Now you'll see what's in the 3rd screenshot below, the setup window. There's a lot of stuff there, but we'll only need some of it for this. First, in the "Key mode" drop-down list, choose "Direct key mapping"
6. Now you see what's in the 4th screenshot. Now what you need to do is click the "Key" dropdown list, and scroll all the way down to pick "117 F6-VOL UP"...if you did all that right, it should look like the 5th screenshot.
7. Click "Ok" in the bottom left of the screen. Now, you should be back to the very first screen you saw, but now with the mapping you just created (screenshot 6).
8. VERY IMPORTANT...at this point you must remember to hit "Update config" in the bottom left, or the work you just did won't have any effect. It'll confirm for you that it updated, and that's it! You just mapped one of the volume buttons
9. Now, follow steps 2-9 again, with the following exceptions:
Step 4 - tap the volume down button this time
Step 6 - pick "118 F7-VOL DOWN"
As long as you did all that, and hit "update config" after each one, you should now be able to close the app and have normal volume-button operation.
As you noticed there's a lot of versatility in this little app, so if that still doesn't work for you, there's other ways we can try...this is just the most direct and should work just fine.
Hey SirPhunk,
Thanks for your time and the very detailed breakdown. I was able to install the app and run it, but no luck re-assigning the buttons :-/. Tried re-assigning vol-up button to vol-up and vol-down button to vol-down, but no change. To test, I also re-assigned the "up" key on my flip-out keyboard to "volume-up" and still no dice. Made sure to save the registry after each change and tried with and w/o soft resets after the changes. The vol-up and vol-down buttons still just scroll up/down on the screen and up button on keybard still just scrolls up as well.
I saw what you meant about other functions for this program, just not sure which to try next in order to fix this issue. Thank you again.
bumping my post...
i just ended up doin a hard reset. My best guess is it could have been the zoombar scroller v2 app that screwed with the settings.
hi there
i just managed to install android onto a HTC "Kaiser" TyTn2.
everything i need seems to work fine except sound and wifi.
i installed RLS15 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759894
using KaiserCustomRUU.exe
now there seems to be no sound. i called a number, and i hear nothing at all. i tried pressing speaker, and same no sound. vibrates working though. i also tried pulling the vibrate tab but it didnt work. still no sound.
about wifi, i have a Ad-Hoc network from my computer (which i can connect to from my ipod touch 3g - iOS4), but even after turning Wifi on in settings, it just doesnt seem to see my network....
btw i got no "welcome to android" or set up or anything... i did hold the DPad
any help?
I'm not sure but try out another Radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 <---- Here
Flash it with HARDSPL or just using CustomRUU when in the tri-color screen.
I could be wrong but that's what I'm guessing
Wi-Fi... Wich kernel did you use?
Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 Post 118
And use the Androidupdate I attached, It's the one from Liquid wich should fix the Wi-Fi
Let us know if it fixed it
(God i had to edit it a million times before i did it right )
calls do definately go out. i called someone, i coudnt hear anything, and they called me back.
What do you mean by "Welcome To Android" ?
i read in some website that the first screen when booting android for the first time is Welcome to Android

In some builds, when you boot Android, it gives this kind of tutorial on how to use your phone (Wich has as title "Welcome to full android on Kaiser" for example), time and date settings and connect to Google account, It's possible that it isn't in the one you use
Don't worry about it, the welcome to android doesn't show when u press D-pad, the D-pad is to get into the menu when ur kernel is booting (the one with black background and white letters)
The menu is to install your system, make backups, clear dalvik and others
ok... but what do i do now about the sound? (and the wifi if posibble)

Sound=New Radio
Wi-Fi is probably androidupdate
[SOUND]
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182
Scroll down until you see this: KAISER Radios These Radios were ripped from Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs.
Pick a radio and download it.
HARDSPL IS NEEDED FOR THE RADIO!
Extract the file and change the name from the NBH file to KAISIMG.NBH if the name is something else.
Copy KAISIMG.NBH onto the root of your sdcard and plug your sd card into the phone.
Hold down the camera button and turn the device on or reset it.
When you see a tri-colored screen, release the camera button.
When you see a blue text with something like RADIO (i guess) press the power button (just 1 little press, no long pressing)
The device will now update your RADIO, when finished just reset it.
Now reinstall your Android version by holding down the D-center button when asked, then selecting Install System and make it clear data.
[Wi-Fi]
Copy the androidupdate.tgz into your Andboot folder
Reboot the phone and press D-center button when asked
Choose the option to install update
Wait for it to finish and just press quit to boot Android

i just managed to put the KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01.nbh (which i renamed to KAISIMG.NBH) and i put it on the root after a couple of hours figuring out how to make the phone show up in explorer
i tried starting exactly as you told me, but it boots directly to android - no tricolor. it worked fine before i installed android. so what do i do now?

I don't think there's another way, just, turn phone off, hold camera button in while pressing the power button once
Release the camera button after you see the colored screen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVMeZyuIMls
Doesn't show much more than I already said
Did you put hardspl on it anyways?
Thanks... What i managed to do was to simply get into the tricolors by holding power+home, then i connected to computer, and SPL'ed from CustomRUU. it worked, and sound is working. i tried your way but it woudnt detect my .NBH. thanks anyways
but where can i get a androidupdate.tar for the wifi for?
btw quick point, but my camera seems to work!!!! i remember reading that the camera WONT work on android. (it didnt work before installing the latest radio)
Thanks for the file. i just tried installing the liquid update from this post, and all i get is error under wifi (before wifi would turn on - but it kept on searching and found nothing). i did install a old update before this. could that have messed it up?
i also have a problem with USB mounting. I click turn on USB storage, and it works randomly. it works 1 time - doesnt work 10... replkuggin and stuff doesnt work. as in "Android Phone" is showing in Eject, but nothing is showing in explorer
EDIT
-----------------------
I just re-installed android and now installed the liquid update.
NOW wifi turns on, but it just scans (has been scanning for 5 minutes)
my ipod touch sees the network immediately.

Gotta go take exam right now so I'll be looking for this afterwards.
And since it's 06:24 here in the morning, we have a bit of a time issue I think.
I actually dont know what version i have, but i got it from some post on this forum, and it was the latest, and i did use atools.
I found this post http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3b250c94811ca5df&hl=en
I am trying to use a ad-hoc network too, and i dont have any other type of wifi to try.

It could be that it's not possible to connect to an ad-hoc network, I've got no idea about that.
Hope someone else will post here and answer that.
U should really try connecting with a normal Wi-Fi network
Go onto the street and look for appartments or houses with open networks just to test?
i live in a small town..... no one here has internet let alone wifi....
aww that's balls
got no idea on how to try it then
I was getting random shut downs, I was googling and most of the things posted didn't apply to me, so I decided to view a logcat, seeing what it showed when it randomly shut down. How do I fix this problem? I'll include a logcat as soon as I get another one, I forgot to save it

Is it a shutdown or is it a hard reboot? I'm suspecting hard reboot.
A logcat is about as much use as a chocolate teapot for hard reboots generally.
And what on earth did you extract it with? It's got a crazy amount of line spacings and is unreadable.
Best thing for reboots is the output of:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg

maybe you have some corrupt data in there.. did you restore the clock(system app) with titanium backup? anyways, go to the phones main settings, apps, all, clock.. then clear its data. reset your alarms and see if you reboot again.
this was more like a hard shut down than a hard reset, my gnex isn't rooted, brand new out of box and this happens. Factory resets also cause me to shut down. I'll do the thing thalamus said first, after rooting.
edit: I might send this to the repair center
all they will so is reflash the stock img, and you can do that.
What does mmcblk0boot1: unknown partition table and mmcblk0boot0: unknown partition table mean? Does it mean I have to format those two?
edit: I think I found the problem. In both of these, they have problems involving 's6e8aa' On my good galaxy nexus, it doesn't show 's6e8aa' in the last_kmsg, but it shows in the dmesg. The problem is I don't know what 's6e8aa' is, I think i'm going to send it to the repair center, thanks!
I have found out that, when the sim card is inserted, the phone will randomly shut down, if it is simcardless, it stays on fine
Ok so I have a problem, I would think most users have this too: The max volume level being too low. So I went ahead to search google for help, and downloaded "Ultra volume mod" now what I'm supposed to do is to overwrite the "default_gain.config" but when I do, it says permission denied. So I tried another method, manually editing the code. Now it justs says that an error occured when I try to save it. I did a little digging on the internet, and found out that my system is apparently read-only, how do I change that? Oh yeah, I'm currently using ES File Explorer, most people said theres a button to mount something but I can't find the button, maybe thats the fix to it? I have the latest updated version of the root explorer and I still cant find the mount button.
Well, while you're here can you help me with another one? On game hacking apps such as GameCIH or GameGuardian, either right after I grant root permission, it says "error: root denied" or it says nothing and when I try to change the code, nothing happens. Thanks for helping.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-17005
Root: Yes
OS: Android Jellybean 4.3, Stock.
Any other info thats needed? Please say so, I will do my best to provide them. And please don't post complicated stuff, the most I can do is read simple codes and edit them, such as the volume one. I cant decode, read complex codes or create codes, if theres anything complicated, please try your best to explain how to do it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Open ES file explorer hit menu button ,scroll down, check mark root explorer ,slider will turn blue,then click extreme left of root explorer you'll get a pop up with few options,click on Mount R/W then another pop up comes up and you'll see RO and RW columns,and 4 rows of options.Select the RW column for each of the row options.That would mount your system to read and write files just like you are doing right now.Once you change your default_gain.conf it will ask you to replace it with existing one (you should make a back up of your original one on the sd card) then replace it,long press on the new file click on MORE at the bottom right then Properties then you'll see permissions as RWX-RWX-RWX- and Change next to it.click on change and you'll see 3 rows and 3 columns make it read as RW-R-R basically selecting first 2 columns for first option and only the first option for 2nd and 3rd row.Click ok,exit the es file explorer and reboot your phone. I am attaching images below so you can get visual help as well (my options differ a bit under es file explorer since im not running TW ROM but concept is same
Note: Root is must (I see you've mentioned you are rooted)
Thank you so much for the help, it worked perfectly, now my volume is just as its supposed to be. Thank you for your help, now i just need someone to answer my second question.
2nd one sounds like an app issue now you have confirmed it's not a root issue. Probably don't work on 4.3. Think I remember seeing groans from game cheaters about apps not being supported.
Oh okay... well, i tried out the mod, forgot that 1db more is 3 times a loud as the bd before. Almost busted my cheapass earphones. Also the static noise you hear in idk, clash of clans during start up increased by at least 5 times. Switching back, luckily i took your advice on making a backup.Thanks guys, really helped me. In the shortest time of any other forum too.

Ya many of us eat , breathe and sleep on xda and love to help out people cause we were also once in your shoes so I know how it feels when something doesn't work right ,the anxiety levels sky rocket at once and panick sets in.
Edit: You might want to quote people when responding to someone in particular so he/she gets notified otherwise they might not check back on the thread and your future questions might be left unanswered.Just a suggestion
Well if its just thanks i think they would like it if they didnt get spammed on email. Anyway i fixed the static problem, seems like the old speakerboost app i tried but did not delete was jealous of the mod, uninstalled and mod works like a charm.
Hello,
my Galaxy S4 Mini GT-i9195 died last weekend out of nothing. Battery was empty, I started it, it boots and switched off again. After I tried to charge it, nothing happens but when I longpress the power button it vibrates one time and the screen stays black.
The phone has TWRP and LineageOS on it and worked fine for some years.
What I've done and what I know:
1) Changed all but the main pcb, I have the same device again and switched all other parts. Same issue, so I'm sure the issue is on the motherboard.
2) Meassured battery current when off 0mA, when on 130-180mA
3) Meassured voltages, 1.8v and 3.0v are there when I switch the phone on
3) Meassured CMD pin on eMMC, the CPU is alive and tries to access the eMMC
What I don't know currently
1) Is the eMMC working correctly
2) Is any other hardware defect?
3) Is there some data corruption on any part of the eMMC?
Before I try to solder something on the phone I would like to test all other ways to recover my data.
The hardware itself is not important, but it would be nice to get the data. The SDcard that was used looks like the data is encrypted, so I suppose the userdata on the eMMC is encrypted as well. This means I hope to get the phone to boot to decrypt all this again.
I've seen that it could be possible to boot the phone from SDCard. Does anyone know how this oculd work?
I have a universal eMMC reader that supports the eMMC used, but don't know if it will work as long as the CPU is powered on.
Has anyone a idea what could be defect or how I can do a further diagnose of the phone to resuce my data?
Hope someone can help. Thanks!

Your question is on a Galaxy S4 Mini. This is the right place. We have already removed the duplicate.
Okay, new information. I ****ed up the key combination and now as I do it right, I can boot into ODIN mode.
I tried to read out the pid with heimdall and this doesn't works. On the other phone I tried the same and it works. So I suppose it's not a issue of my setup.
