The problem is basically the down volume button broke so I replaced the entire volume piece, but I have the problem where the down button is constantly being pressed even when no actual physical button is present, so my phone is constantly lowering its volume when I am on the phone etc.
Is there any way to fix this?
If not is there any way for me to completely destroy the audio button to at least stop it adjusting itself!
If you replace that part did you place that volume plastic button right way. If it wrong way it may push switch down all time. Or maybe hardware failure in switch?
Or replace another one. Maybe that plastic vol button is pressing the switch all time. Try take off that plastic vol button part and then what happend? You can press buttons by your nails or something.
Yeh the problem is though even with no button it still keeps lowering the volume as if the button is being pressed so I don't know what the problem is, I'd gladly disable all volume control instead if thats possible.
if its the mainboard thats faulty that's an expensive part to replace :\

Hi guys,
Here is my dream situation:
- Double tap "Hang Up" button to lock the device (I understand this can be done with AEButton Plus, although I haven't tried yet)
- Screen will turn off after a while
- Unlock the device by swiping the finger
At no point are the hardware buttons pressed! My new cover makes touching the power button very hard
Is this possible???
Thanks
They problem, as I am sure you've realized, is that once the phone enters suspended mode the digitizer is disabled (touch) and so are all other non hardware buttons.
I've always had problems with the power button on the HD being a pain in the neck to find and hit, so what I did to rectify this was cut a small hard plastic sticker to the size of the power button and stuck it on there. This helps a lot in not only finding the power button but also pressing it.
(Sticker was a liquid crystal thermometer sticker made by OMEGA: product number RCL-8050/150 I found this to be the perfect width, so I cut off a 1mm sliver off the end)
If you were really stuck on making this work exact as you described, you could prevent the phone from shutting down and just turn off the screen.
(I'm unsure of how the different screen off programs effect the digitizer, my guess it they all disable it at the same time, but I'm sure all that could be seperated.)
However since only the screen would turn off not the device, you'd drain the batter, and its short life would make this not worth it.
Alternate solutions:
Instead of doubletap hangup which you could do through AEButton Plus, but longpress end key can do the same thing just instead by holding the end call key
Also, you configure your phone to wake up at the press of any hardware key, IE the volume buttons on the HD.

Pretty much how it is. The volume is a rocker switch so it has a little more give. The power switch is just a single switch. It'll probably loosen up a bit over time though.
Let's think this way -
Volumen button does nothing when the screen is off.
But power button is everything. If it's pressed accidently in your pocket or bag, you may find out your phone's battery is almost empty after a while when you pulled it out from you pocket.
So, I believe it's designed like that to prevent any unexpected action.
My htc desire is just over 2 years old. Out of warranty. Have not rooted or done anything else, just running the standard software.
A couple of months ago it got damp inside the pocket of my jacket. After turning it on it went to the hboot screen (the one where I can choose the options Fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock.) I dried the phone out and tried turning it on again.
Since then, whenever I have turned on my phone, it has had about a 50% chance of going to the hboot screen. Sometimes this screen would be unresponsive (ie. pressing the volume up/down buttons didn't do anything.) Sometimes I would be able to use the buttons to navigate around.
With a varied amount of removing the battery and mashing on the volume up/down buttons and power button when starting up the phone I could get it to start up. I think my success was related to half holding down volume up, so as to release the volume down button, and press power at the same time, but I'm not sure. This would sometimes happen after a couple of tries, but sometimes would take much longer, maybe half an hour of mashing.
Occasionally when running the phone would turn the volume all the way down to mute (as though the volume down button was being held, although I wasn't pressing anything.) Sometimes it would crash.
I took this to mean that my volume down button was busted, but things worked "ok" most of the time.
Today my phone will not respond to any amount of mushing the volume keys. I leapt into the deep end and disassembled my phone. I've pulled apart the volume button, removed the sticky black plastic that covers the circuitry of the button, removed the two small circular metal bits, removed the metal bar that is about 3cm long (1.5 in) and now the volume button is reduced to just a little bit plastic with copper bits printed on both sides.
I had hoped that this would be enough to completely disable my volume buttons and all would be well. Unfortunately... when I start the phone I am still at an unresponsive hboot screen
Does anyone have any advice that could help me? I could get the scissors out and start cutting stuff off but that seems like it would be unlikely to work...
Thanks in advance.
Wait...so you disabled the volume buttons, and you expect hboot to be responsive?
They were the only way to navigate through hboot.
What do you mean by "unresponsive"? Does the power button do something when pressing it?

Regularly, to get to hboot you hold volume down and the power button. My volume down button was permanently held down (I think,) so I hoped that by removing the volume buttons it would start normally.
By unresponsive I mean it goes to hboot but pressing the power button does nothing when I am there (ie. it doesn't select the highlighted option (fastboot))
My S3 started randomly rebooting yesterday. The power button also because super sensitive. Just a light brush would cause the phone to register a press.
I edited my .kl files and disabled the power button and remapped it to the volume down button. I haven't had as many problems as I did yesterday but now it shuts down when I plug in the usb cord and it did shut down one more time when I picked it up off my desk.
I thought it was a faulty power button that was causing my phone to reboot but now I'm not so sure. Remapping seems to have helped a little though.
The files I edited were sec_keys.kl and sec_powerkey.kl. For both I disabled key 116 POWER WAKE and remapped it to key 114 which is the volume down key.
Any ideas on how to fix this completely? Is there another power setting I'm missing? I'm 3 months from my upgrade and don't really want to spend cash on this thing.
The power button is a somewhat common issue. Look at some disassembly videos. Maybe you can find a way rig it or replace it. The parts are pretty cheap if youre willing to attempt it.

I think I have mostly solved my issues. I pulled out the power button and I haven't had a problem since. Between that , the remapped power key and the Auto Screen On app I think I can make it till upgrade time.
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
