Here's the official HTC-Video for disassembling the Device.
Take out the back cover of the phone n i mean only the back aluminium cover as shown in the video thn fit the new volume keys where the old ones used to b but remember to put the end with the steel on the upper side and one with rubber on the bottom side though u might need to slightly bend the volume keys to be able to fit thm in but be gentle and careful not to bend it too much tht it breaks just a little but so that u can get the rubber end in.once it press the volume keys down to level the bend which may hv caused prevoiusly.n voillla ur volume keys are fixed.u dnt need to do anything else.hope this helps

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
Hi
My side volume keys were flimsy and loose. For the past few weeks I had to press it hard for it respond. The other day I was out and when I took the phone out of my pocket, I realized the volume keys were missing. They fell off somewhere and I have no clue where, so I can't find them. But I definitely know that it didn't happen due to any rough use. There are absolutely no scratches or marks on the phone.
It's really annoying as there is no quick way for me to control volume or put the phone to vibrate mode. Plus I can't flip pages in book readers easily.
Questions
What are my options? Are there any applications I can use to quickly control volume and put the phone to 'Vibrate' mode?
Is this covered under warranty?
The service center says if it's not covered under warranty, I'll have to buy the entire back panel which is going to cost a lot! Is there any online place I can buy 'just' the volume key which can be fixed in?
Mine also broke but i made it work with a drop of appoxy glue.. but be care full it can bind ur button permanently

I would. But unfortunately, I have *lost* the button as I don't know where it dropped off. Any chance I can get just the button for cheap?
Nothing on ebay mate? Deal Extreme sell a lot of spare parts for phones, have a look on there. I cant see it costing that much to repair at a service center? If its just the back panel then its nothing but a few pieces of plastic..
Well, it's not plastic, it's metal. And the back panel costs at least 10% of the cost of the phone back here.
Hi guys,
I had a problem with my volume button. It simply fell, and since then it`s pretty tough to use it.
So, I ask two things:
1 - Does anyone knows a good volume widget that looks like it belongs to the ICS theme? Most i found looked pretty awful on the starting screen.
2 - How can I fix the problem? I thought about using some kind of superglue, but it would simply have no flexibility to press the buttons anymore...
Thanks in advance for any help at all.

Use 'kitchen & bathroom sealant' or 'No nails glue'
Just use a spec of it in the middle of the button, not the phone & gently hold it in (on the inside plastic so it sticks). Then cotton bud to wipe access glue off if there is any (which there shouldn't be)
Happened to me, at first i used double sided tape but it kept & falling off

Your welcome!

The main problem here I suppose is that the XPlay's volume button, unlike the previous Java-based SE phones (i.e. K810i, which I previously owned), do not have the extra piece of plastic around the volume button that acts as an anti-dropping-off catch for the hole to which it fits in. It's a weird move by SE I suppose. Thinking how the rubber part easily separates from the actual volume button, I can imagine there are a lot of XPlay users who get disappointed going home to see their volume button has fallen off somewhere on the road when they were on their way home. Shame. Good thing mine fell off when me and my wife were browsing pictures of our baby in my bed. Jeez.
Hi everybody,

It's a cheap fix AFAIK, should be a few $ in your local phone shop. It's quite a common problem for our DHD, Thankfully I rooted before I broke my volume rocker (been living without one for 5 months now).
Yes, you're right. I've found a couple of repair items + kit on eBay for a few bucks:

By the way, i've also found this topic (where there is you, too): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915895
It suggests you can fix the problem without changing any hardware parts:

hey guys just a quick question, im very worried for some reasons. my buttons feel some what loose but not very loose. is this normal?
and when i press my power button in a certain direction it makes a creaking sound? im thinking my otterbox commuter case damaged it but is it okay? but its still fully responsive, and finally, when i click my home button dead center it makes a slight click noise like on an apple device. maybe not as loud but when i click the sides of the home button, no sound at all.

I had the same problem with my home button, I just cleaned it with a pin around the edges and pressed it in different directions (Like pressing left, corners, bottom) and then wiped it with a wet paper towel which fixed my problem, its probably just dust build up?
If not you probably have to replace the buttons just get them from eBay.
