I just realized that my volume down button is not working
I am really frustrated right now coz I really love my phone It is not even a year old or dropped in these few days it suddenly just stopped working. Is there anyway that I can fix this ?

Well first U have to figure out what reason cause this. Is this becuz of the software or the hardware? Try to flash another clean and stable Rom and see if your button is working now. If not,well...Go to the prepair store to try to fix it...Cheers
well.. my volume rocker just stopped working aswell, and it is caused by hardware fault.
it is completely loose aswell. and i think i can live with it..
you just have to find workarounds for things like vibration mode and stuff like that.
there are apps in the market that can help you.

Hello
This is my first post, so hello everybody
I had a problem with volume button as well. I flashed another ROM and it doesn't help, so i decided to send the phone repair under guarantee, and the phone was repaired free of charge

...and if we don't have warranty?
i paid 50e for repair few days ago...I have 6 monts warranty jet but my mobile provider sad that he cant accept hardware issues like that in warranty
There are kits on ebay (or other websites) that include a tool to take phone apart and install a new volume rocker. I did this and it now works better than it did before. However, the volume up does not work, only volume down, but that could be due to the fact I may have done it wrong
if it is not a software issue you gonna have to open phone...
check that metal piece(look picture) on flex that is on right place,
and also check that it makes "click" when you press it with a nail or pencil.
if it is not in right place it wont make contact and it won't work.
to place it in position you can try using hair dryer, heat it and move it to center(look picture to see where it must be)
why that happens?
combination of high temperature (in the car during the summer...) and high usage of volume button.
This has been happening to me for a few months too. It clicks but nothing happens, I can't get it fixed and I've flashed dozens of ROMs so it's not a software issue.

To be honest, its just one of the terribly made bits of the phone. That and the sim card cover.

It works if I press really hard and insist. I can live without it.

Somebody else posted a while ago but nobody really knewanything and I now have same prob.
If I press the power button the screen will not switch off but If you hold it down the backlight still switches off so it's not the button broken. I thought OK I can live with this for a while but this means you also cant switch it on and the only way is by not locking all buttons when device off but of course it switches on in my pocket and my battery is dead before the end of the day. Also if I press the soft reset button to try and switch the device on, it hard resets it without me pressing the power button in at the same time, which again incredibly annoying!!!
I have tried reflashing ROM but no change, My power button did break off the mainboard a while ago so at first thought it was this problem come back but as others have the same problem and button still turns off backlight Im stumped about whats going on! . Stupidly even though within warrenty I took it to my local phone repair shop for the original button problem instead of T-mobile so my warrenty is now void so they probably won't accept to fix this new prob.
Unless anyone knows of a fix, would T-mobile take and fix If I pay (as I voided warrenty) or would they not even want to touch it because the void sticker is removed. Also would they charge a stupid amount even for the smallest fault?
Cheers, andy
I just brought mine to a t-mobile shop last week because my power buttom broke off the mainboard. My warranty sticker was also broken and they did accept it. Why wouldn't they if you're paying they don't care.
T-mobile don't do repairs, they use HTC, who also do out of warranty repairs.

I would clean off the warranty sticker completley including all the bits in the screw head and deny all knowledge if asked ;-)

Today I got a phonecall that they had replaced my phone with a new one. I told them that is wasn't a warrenty repair... they did make a mistake, but I still get the new phone for free... This solves my problems...
hi it was me that posted before, i never found a solution to this. i spoke to htc but they seemed confused as well. luckily mine is still under warranty so its going back. im going to drop mine into them in milton keynes so i will see if i can quiz them on it more.
WOW its fixed.
dont know whether anyone still needs info on this BUT mine is fixed, i told it that i was gonna take it to htc in milton keynes tomorrow and it fixed itself. well sort of. i will just write what i did when it star ed working. i tried everything to fix this. if you read the top post i think that is a copy of my original post. i was using my blueangel tonight to browse this site in bed using wifi. normally i dont really use this but my exec is charging. anyway i had tried turning wifi on and off before and the problem was still there. now after prolonged use the power button is working. i think it must be the wifi. i suspected this from the start. other than that the only other thing i have done is rotate the display but i think its the wifi. you know when you put them in standby when wifi is on there is a delay in turning off while it disconnects. mine froze then and after that the button was not working this is why i suspected it had something to do with this from the start.
My 10 days old desire has already stopped working, today.. so sad!
I didnt do any flashing whatsoever.
It started with a Sense application crash, and after a few reboots things have kept going worse. First it acted like the vol down button was stuck, then after a reboot the menu button and the trackball stopped working.
I dediced to try an hard reset, but before i could do it just started hanging at the white/htc bootscreen (before 'quiely brilliant'). Now it doesnt go past it.
Vol- + Poweron doesnt work.
Back + Poweron enters the bootloader but i don't think i can do anything there.
Right now i'm abroad for work and im just luckyi brought my old Diamond..
I'm pretty sure it has to go back to HTC, but any idea would be appreciated
Why even bother messing - it's clearly not right so get yourself a shiny new one and experience new phone smell all over again!
And if you're from the UK, take it back to where you got it and MAKE them replace it. It's NOT down to HTC to replace it.
No, i'm from Italy, but i'll be in Turkey for at least one more week, so i don't think they're going to replace it. It will probably have to be sent out for warranty
I know what it is, hardware problem.. Your desire's power adapter/supplier is dead.
it can be changed. It happens due to overheating so I guess you charge it too much

how dare you to charge your battery that fiercely!
As already said, don't mess around with it - have it replaced under warranty. It has nothing to do with the power adapter - you probably have a faulty mainboard and they will replace it. It's a well known hardware fault.
Sorry to hear your phone is playing up could you not phone the shop from Turkey ?? and tell them the problem and could they change it when you get back, I'm not sure what the call would cost but at least you gave it a shot.

hey guys,
so my friend got a One X, that's Dead...pretty cheap...and we're trying to revive it.
up till now, the phone only vibrates when pressing the power button, screen doesn't wake up. how to access the bootloader "if it's even accessible"?
any way to know if it's fixable?
Uhh, it doesn't sound too easily fixable. If the screen isn't even turning on, you're off to a bad start. Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, not something you'll be able to flash to fix.

That's a hardware fault maybe faulty flex cable

if you look at the phone, it's very clean, i can tell it never had a smudge or any fall...also the screen is clean, no scratches. quite a catch! what could have made the flex cable go bad?!
in the boot animation the screen is quite good!
You say in the boot animation the screen is good, does it ever clear up entirely? You COULD get a display like that from software, but it's more than likely hardware. For example, running Gingerbread ROMs on the Infuse with Froyo bootloaders cause similar rainbow effects due to a change in coding, so you can POSSIBLY have a scrambled display without a hardware failure.
It may have just been a faulty phone and that's why it looks like it's in good shape. It's not necessarily something that someone broke. It could be a bad GPU chip, it could be a flex cable as mentioned, it could be a lot of things. If you (or rather your friend) got it for cheap, and you want to try opening it up to inspect the cables, you can find disassembly threads and videos to tell you how. You could be going on a wild goose chase though.

sometimes it boots up with that white messed up screen, sometimes it boots with the sense 4 lockscreen. lags a lot while trying to unlock the lockscreen, after that all hell breaks loose and screen becomes messed up pretty bad.
thanks for the tips man, i will try opening it up and having a look inside.
it could be a bad factory outlet as a friend suggested...

Well, hell, you can try reflashing the software if you can see enough in recovery mode (vol down and power at the same time). I can't see how it would hurt it any more. From the sound of it, you either have VERY messed up software, or more than likely, faulty hardware. Does it seem like the display works any better when it's been off for a while (cold)? If it gets worse the longer it's on, or if it had been on and you just rebooted, it would point more towards a faulty gpu chip to me and the heat causing the problem to come out.
Not sure about how warranties transfer or if they do at all (might depend country to country too), but you could see if it's still under warranty and can be sent in before you open it up.

Hmm... weird. Not sure what to say. Well, good luck. I hope it works out!
What honestly it looks like to me is that they tried to flash a american version of a rom on to the phone so you have the improper bootloaders and such. hopefully this works for you.

I know I don't own an one x, but I do have a HTC Rezound, and I cracked the screen in it, and mine did the something while watching YouTube videos, but then it just went back to normal, this happened twice to me. I thought my screen was going out, but if yours is doing it and there's no physical damage, had to be something in the phone, or maybe software is that even possible? Lol.
Just thought I'd share what happened to me..

yes it could be a software issue. so your phone had that issue after changing your digitizer/screen? and then became normally by itself later on...?

yes, check your PM.
Ok, so heres the deal. The s2 is my sisters phone, and she comes home and told me the phone wont turn on, that its stuck on the boot screen and it just keeps turning off and doing it again. So I started looking into it (Im an iPhone user, so I'm not too familiar with android devices. BUT I do know a bit about computers, cell phones and just technology in general). I ended up finding out that its stuck in a soft brick. So I started youtubing how to fix it. Found a great method using Odin3 and Samsung Kies. AND IT WORKED. I turned the phone back on, got past the lock screen and everything was all good.
After about 30 seconds, THE PHONE BRICKED AGAIN. And it went right back into the boot loop, I cant get it into download mode because it just keeps restarting after a couple of seconds. With that happening, I cant get the computer to recognize it so I can do a recovery fix with Samsung Kies. I legit cannot find any solution to it.
The thing that baffles me and is causing me a huge headache is the fact that THE PHONE IS NOT ROOTED. nothing has been done to it, its completely stock. So if there is no solution to it, can somebody at least tell me what might have been able to cause this?
Thanks to all,
Dariel
Probably bad sticky/stuck/sucky power button. That usually is the case when you can get into download mode but then it restarts.

I doubt its a corrupt OS, because like I said in my original post; my sisters phone is completely stock. No custom rom, no root. Nothing. So I'm leaning more towards the bad power button situation.

As far as I read, with this problem, Jigs dont help because the phone turns off regardless if they're in download mode or not. goodluck tho.

i only had th phone for about 2 months.... think you might be right...
it sounds like a bad power button
Like its been posted before, it sounds like you have a bad (or stuck) power button. OK try this (it might or might not work) take off the battery, and with your finger start rubbing the power button from side to side (take in consideration not to do it too hard, you don't want to hulk rub the phone to death). while you rub the button make sure to hear the click click every time you go over it. after that connect the battery and see if it boots. it worked for me. granted sometimes the problem comes back, so in all honesty this AINT a fix, its more of a workaround. but who knows it might work for you as well. Best of luck.

so i think these issues are different from OP. Though i can say, i did have the same issues you were describing.. im now happily on CM10 nightlies.. much faster and stable than the Darkside ICS rom!
Well I can verify that removing the power button from the mobo works brilliantly. No more boot loop on the t989 and nexus s. Only the middle and left or right side of the contacts need to be jumped to power it on. Remember it takes 10 seconds of holding a jumper there. Now where to find replacement buttons?
Hopes this helps guys.:good:
Alex K.
UbreakIfix technician.....
I think its a power button assembly problem. At first it would happen intermittently and it would go away till, no matter what I did, the phone would behave as if the power button was being pressed and not let go. It would happen more often when the phone would get moist due to rainy or humid conditions. So I opened up the phone, took the motherboard out and used a blow dryer on the power button area for about a minute, let it cool down and then reassemble (also blew some air in there just in case dust was causing the problem as well). The phone did not boot/reloop for a week. Then it started again, and I thought that maybe my case (d30 case) pushing on the power button really tightly all the time wasn't helping so, I cut away the are near the power button on my case and the problem has not come back in two weeks.
To Sum up....
Possible causes
-Tight cases pressing on the power buttons (Get a case that doesnt fit so tight on the phone, dont use one, or cut the power button area away from the case)
-Power button too sensitive to humidity and dust ( (disassemble , clean and heat the area up)
goood luck, my friend had the same problem before he traded it in to get an s3

Any update? I am in the same shoes as you. Will be sending mine for repair this Monday.
Happened to me too. I lightly tapped the side of my phone on a table and vibration came back. Very odd!

Hi
i also just bought an HTC M9, huge fan of HTC.
Anyways, i had the same problem where the vibration stopped working at times. If i hit the phone on one of the sides, it worked for a while, and while i was diagnosing, i could hear that something was loose inside, so i decided to get all the gear needed (did not wanna bother with sending it in and spend 14 days without a phone, its 2016 FFS ), and open the phone, easy enough.
Inside i could see a piece of loosened solder metal, and after i removed this its been working fine ever since.
So my guess is that this piece of solder metal is a common weakness of this phone and would at times get stuck between motor.
So if your motor is not working, try *#*#3424#*#*, run vibration test and listen for small clicking noises, if thats there, then im certain its the same fault as i had in my phone.
Hello, for those who have the problem of vibration that no longer works, before sending it in for service try the following steps (I so I solved the problem!):
Remove the microSD slot and blow hard inside.
Magically my M9 has started to vibrate forever ....
Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience. I too had the exact same problem. Few taps on the right corner and vibration was back, but always stopped working again.
I tried the "blow hard" method and didnt work.
Took my M9 to my local tech-hardware guru and after opening it we found the problem. Seems that the motor is defective, its like "really tight" in its interior. For the amount of posts on this thread could be a faulty batch of motors that HTC installed on some devices.
What he did was desoldier the 2 cables that bo to the motherboard, raplced with another motor he had on stock. Its not the original one, but one that fitted perfectly. Solder it again and vuala! Worked perfectly.
Only thing i noticed after the quick fix was the motor he installed does not have the same "power" or "feeling" as the original, seems a bit a TINY BIT less powerfull, but works perfecly.
So if you have this problem, just take it to your local tech saavy guy or if you have warranty sent it to HTC, but the tech guy fix will be 100 times faster. he fixed mine in 10 minutes.
Regards!
