Desire HD Volume Button Broken

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

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

[Q] Help: Volume button problem

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.

Power Button - Squishy

Has anyone else noticed that the power button on the Galaxy Note 2 is a little squishy? Mine will press in at the top and the bottom of the button before the button actually clicks. It is almost as if the actual "button" is in the center of the power button. So if you press the power from the top most part or bottom most part it presses in a little further before it clicks.
Thankfully it functions just fine.

Mine's solid and clicks down wherever I place it... perhaps you have a defect?

I am thinking that, it presses in fine but if I rub my finger along the chrome edge I can feel the button rock up and down near each end. I an not nearly as OCD as some on this forum but I am just leery about issues down the road since this is the power button.
Does anyone else have the same "issue" that I do?

Yup, I have the same issue exactly as you are describing. Kind of seesaws in the middle.

Ok then ill just chalk it up as "acceptable" and get some insurance on it.
Thanks chunology and draconas for the reply

I noticed the same thing yesterday. Funyy how I read this post. I just hope the button doesn't fall out like the volume rocker on my old HTC Sensation.

Shoul I change mine Note 2 because of this?
Does anyone here change his note 2 because of this? Mine feels really bad, it works, but it's starting to get harder. I want to know if I need to ask to my carrier for a change.

Mine works fine. Feels solid and doesn't rock...weird

[Q] Could you please check the power button for me on your find "7"

Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if the power button on the left is the same height/resistant to your volume button.
I'm not sure if it is meant to be like this or a spring has slipped. But on my power button it seems to lye almost flat with the side of the device. It also jiggles up and down a bit like a seesaw when you run your finger over it.
Another way to describe it is if you run your finger over both sides so they feel the same height? As for me the volume button definitely feels further out/ strong/ less flimsy?
Thanks just for my piece of mind should others be like this!
Many thanks Jack,

If your power button doesn't come out of your find7, it's not normal, mine is out the same height as the volume one. And it isn't less strong than the volume button :/
But mine are a little bit lose to, they jiggle like you explained ! I think that's pretty normal
Hope for you that your find 7 is not broken !

Okay wow, that sucks, I guess I'm not going to return it just yet as I don't actually have a phone as I just sent my old one away , I'm also going to assume the turn around for this sort of thing would take for ever and then there is the reinstalling of apps and argh so much effort!

Volume Down no longer clicks

My down volume button works, but doesnt click, the up button clicks when pressed, is this intentional or have i crushed the down button?

mine clicks so maybe yours have a little issue

I have been pressing it often to get into boot loader so I assume I just crushed whatever clicks since the button works

Is it in a case? My down volume didn't work, and I couldn't figure out why. I took it out of the case to find my sh*t was bent like an iPhone! AFTER 4 1/2 MONTHS!!!
The best thing is, that Advantage Program that is super cool is only available in the USA.
Thanks Obama!

Just out of interest, what kind of case was yours in? I had mine in the Spigen crystal clear gel case since pretty much day one and I've just had my phone replaced (6 month old) after sending it in with a dodge and bent volume down button.
Have ordered a new case in case it was that but I guess the volume rocker must be a pretty thin strip of ali?
