Hello,
A few days ago I got a HTC desire from a friend. I've noticed that the volume buttons aren't working. I've flashed a few ROM's and they aren't working on any ROM, so I doesn't seem like a software issue to me.
Is there anyone here that knows how to fix this? Do I have to replace the buttons? And if so, how do I do that?

Try using some demoisturizer directly on the buttons. I've done it, and my buttons work like new.

Thanks for your advice! I am actually having the very same problem. Some buttons (most notably Volume Down and Menu) have to be pressed multiple times before the system actually register it... can you please be more specific how to clean it? What demoisturizer you used and how to proceed? Thanks!

I got it from a small electronics store. Maybe you have these kind of stores in the Czech Republic, where old people sell electronics at the street corner.

Hi everone,
I have this problem for two days now. I flashed different roms including official ones in hope to solve this issue but I failed. Whenever I press wifi power button it processes then nothing happens, it's always off!! any help will be appreciated!! Thanks
Maybe a silly question, but did you try to flash a new radio rom? I'm not being sarcastic, just don't want to miss anything.
yes I did. I actually tried 3 different versions but nothing!!
If you go to the Network Cards Screen, do you see the following listed?
Yes it's there.

Try to reboot your phone, if that doesn't fix the problem... most likely it's hardware related. What happened anyway? Did you do something just before they go "dead" or they just stopped suddenly?

Help! On my 4th (yes FOURTH) malfunctioning S3 and the soft keys will not light up nor do anything. No haptic feedback, no action, no light, nothing - it's like they are not on the phone.
I have tried all the timing setting for the soft key light duration to no avail.
Instead of getting endless refurbished phones from Asurion, T-mobile decided to send me a brand new stock S3 but.....
....my problem is that I can't back up my phone as all the backup options require you to use the the left hand soft key to access the menu options!!!!!
Can anyone help me with a workaround? I don't want to have to root it if possible as I'll have to unroot it again to send the bad one back.

You can't use the volume and power keys? Oh, right, no custom recovery What are you using?

Any ideas?

What app are you using to back up? Titanium does not require the use of softkeys to do this.
Button Savior on the app store.

So close and thanks for the suggestion but no dice - both button savior and virtual button need root for the menu. SO DAMN ANNOYING that the devs left this out (and apparently it wasn't a limitation, they assume people don't need it!)
This might be the way to go but I can't find an app that allows use of the menu button.
Any other suggestions people? I'm going crazy and I really don't want to have to root and unroot just to back my phone up.

Unsure how to phrase this diplomatically, so beware...
Rooting is a hurdle for you - but it's an imaginary one for me and everyone else. Flash a recovery, root it, do what you need, TriangleAway, unroot it. Unsure what the issue is.
If you need stock recovery downloads, they can be found, They are on my Dropbox, I just don't link them. Or you can Odin. There are countless ways to achieve your goal. Why you are refusing them all, I do not understand. You can 100% undo a root. And if you are currently residing in the UK, as your profile suggests, you are in the wrong forum. And the files in my signature are not for you; don't flash them.

i know what you're saying but I had to do it several times before and it adds about a good 2 hours to the whole process. It's not bullet proof either as I had to triangle away several times on one occasion to get it to work.
I did however find a solution:
Using Button Savior to give me a back button, I found that SUPER BACKUP does require use of the menu button at all, and it also backs up all Apps, contacts, SMS, call logs etc. Then all I had to was copy and paste all my images to storage card.
I honestly don't know why someone hasn't made a app with a virtual menu button - if you google "soft keys not working s3" you will find literally hundreds of threads as it seems to be a common problem. I know someone would have got my $5 yesterday if it existed.

Volume up button does not work, but after reboot works
This problem appears more than once
Please who has the idea helps us​
It's a known problem. We just have to wait for Sony to correct this in a future update.
Yes its a known problem.. Haven't got any solution as yet...

This bug is super annoying. I wish there was ANY way to fix it. No matter what rom I install, if it's based on stock jellybean, the volume up eventually dies after a few times. This is such a massive issue for anyone who listens to music.
Why doesn't anyone press volume down and set it by touching the bar on the screen?
You don't have to reboot or anything.
Is there Rom in the site developers do not exist by this problem or dissolved therein

Yeah, because a reboot is easier!
As the title suggest, my recent button isn't working. The back and home button are working, when I press one of these buttons the backlight lights up for both the buttons. Any ideas whether it's software of hardware?

Try restarting, if that doesn't help... Give flashing another ROM a try( this should help you diagnose as to whetherits hardware or software.

Lol same. It's funny.
I got sad when it stopped working. Checked rebooting and swapping the keys from settings but it was showing light but touch want working. I even confirmed from the *#808# menu and was convinced it's hardware related. So started using onscreen buttons.
After some days I randomly turned off the on screen buttons just to see if the hardware button works and voila, it was working fine. Lol
Still don't know what the heck caused it.
But thanks for your answer, bro. Cheers.

My 3T navigation keys not working
My 3ts capacitive keys aren't working as it drenched in today's rain.. please help me too..

Same problem here, drenched in rain, recent not working at all, back button is a hit and miss sometimes, hopefully it gets back to life life some of the guys here!
Problem solved go to settings-buttons and turn on on-screen navigation bar and turn off it its work for me
I had the same problem. The home button stopped working after I took it off the charger. I tried the *#808# and it showed that the sensor was not responding. I started using the on-screen buttons for a few days. I read this thread today and I rebooted the phone with the on-screen buttons on. I disabled the on-screen buttons and the home screen started working. Thanks y'all..
