You can buy new volume buttons from Ebay.
And you can google it howto put them in.
Goodluck!

How exactly does it go in and which way round? One end has a short black flap and the other end has a slightly longer black flap. Inserting it either way round just makes it seem inserted at one end but it sticks out slightly at the other.
A free fix could be installing this app here and setting it as a widget. And for booting in and out of recovery just use advance boot options of your Rom if its available

Just an idea... have someone call it? That will in turn wake it up for you to use it, and up the standby screen time.
Why not taking the battery out, then in, then power up. IIRC, the phone won't shut off if it has just booted unless it times out.
There is an app called slide2wake

My power button and mic both quit working this morning. I have had the phone about two weeks. I'm just pulling the battery and using volume rockers to wake up at this point.
Restoring old backup ROM, but I don't think it has anything to do with it since the button does not work in CWM either.
Uhggg
Charge it? Mine cuts on when I charge it.

Power up with no power button? Right.

I am not a smart man.
What 'bout with a charger? Like the previous gentleman said?
disassemble the phone [it's really not hard, just some Phillips screws and then pry the screen part out]. depending on how badly you broke the power button you can either just push on the underlying membrane or short the contacts using a wire.

what?
up!
The last few months on my gnex I started having to take the battery out and put back in to power on.. (about 50% of the time) If I do this it will power on but if I don't it wont.. Anyone know what this could be? Is it the power button? Seems like if it was it wouldn't power on at all?

I did do a search, I couldn't find anything directly related to my problem as it's not how to fix the phone, but how to recover my data in this specific situation.
Alright, so I went to Dublin, got absolutely smashed, and dropped my new One X in the toilet. It's working fine - turns on, buttons light up, goes to what seems like sleep mode and waking up when I use the volume buttons, all seems okay except my display is ****ed - black, sometimes with streaks of visibility but nowhere near enough to see what's going on. No touch either.
No-one will touch it and I don't care so much about the phone, I just want all the pictures I took from my drunken holidays. As HTC so intelligently decided on internal storage instead of SD cards I'm a bit at a loss here. I can connect my phone to the PC, but the default behaviour is 'charge'. With the update that came out a while ago it defaults to USB storage when plugged in (or so HTC customer service says) but I rooted it and ran CM10.
What I need is a way to force USB storage through the PC, or a way to do a full backup of the phone without having to turn storage on. I'm not sure if this is possible? I'd appreciate some help here!
(It's dry now, was about two months ago, also I don't need advice on how to get it fixed, I'm not interested in paying for this as I'm going to give it away for spare parts and buy a waterproof phone)
Thanks in advance guys!
How about usb-debugging, enabled or not?
Are you currently on CM10?

Oop's that sounds bad but I'd be happy to help you to get your photos off. Firstly have you rooted yet? If so you could get it into recovery mode and with help from a friend or another phone then you could activate the usb mode. Also I'd be happy to take it off you for spares as I have two hox's in my house.

USB debugging.. I'm not quite sure. I think it was on. I am on CM10 but as I said, can't see or use the display at all..

I've already promised it to a friend of mine - I am rooted, running CM10 but even if I get it into recovery I've no idea what I'm doing as the screen is completely black so it doesn't really help. How could another phone help me, I don't know anyone with a smartphone as we're all insanely good at drowning them in alcohol.
Can you confirm that you have clockworkmod installed?
I will soon return with directions on how to mount USB storage using only volume and power buttons.

I do yeah! Thank you
Okay, here's a little guide:
Hold power and volume down for 25 seconds. Do not let go even if it vibrates.
1xvoldown
1xpower
Wait 20 seconds
Connect USB to PC.
5xvoldown
1xpower
8xvoldown
1xpower
The sdcard contents should pop up on pc. If not, reboot and do it all over again.

Just to make sure, I don't hold power, just one press, then wait 20 sec, yeah? And I disconnect it first. ..Annoying, it ran out of bettery. I'll let it charge a while then try it out and return to the thread. Thanks a lot

Correct, begin the process disconnected. Only hold in the beginning, all the other steps are single taps.

I'm literally crying manly tears from my womanly eyes. ...I thought.. my pictures.. Thank you. Wow. I can't. No words. I love you. I'll think of you when I brush my teeth.
Another thing, now we're at it, do you know where my contacts are stored by any chance.

Have you checked if they are on your sim card? They might also be synced to your google account.
The only thing I know is that they are not on the sdcard. They are probably stored somewhere in /system/.
It could be possible to retrieve them through shell commands, provided that your phone has usb-debugging enabled.
Imma do some research and let you know if I find anything useful.
In the meantime, leave the handset to a bag/box of rice for the night. I have once recovered a dead display by doing that.

They aren't synced to google, only my old contacts, and they're not on my sim, that's the first thing I checked of course.
I did find com.android.contacts folder, but it's empty, or hidden system files. Thanks a lot. You are BRILLIANT.
Really.. I'll give it a shot, it's been a couple months though so I doubt there's any pee left in it.
I did find out that /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/
has some info, but I believe that it contains only the entries that are already synced to google. Not very useful.
Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow.
If any of my dear colleagues knows something about this, please drop in.

So my power button is broken and i'm on the official T-Mobile Jellybean release. I was wondering if there was some code I could put in build.prop that could enable the volume rocker wake until I send it into Samsung for repair. I exhausted every resource and read many forums but I couldn't find anything. If anyone could help me or even point me in the right direction it'll be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

what u need is button remapping.
depending on model of your phone, u can find out hard button mapping, then using adb u can assign the change.
i know it's possible, i did it on a old captivate once. Will go thru my notes.....
hit thanks now or late
Hmm sounds hard but i'll try googling it. Thanks!

I had the power button issue too. I sent it to a third party place to get the button replaced. My phone is working like a charm now.
It seems the gs2's had this issue on a few of them. The button seems to get stuck and the phone keeps on rebooting.
Cost me 40 bucks to get it fixed. Well, plus shipping.
Here is the link to the place I used.

Hope this helps
Tried remapping the buttons...failed miserably. Thanks for the help guys!

Try fixing it yourself
there are excellent step by step videos on youtube
teaches you exactly how to replace all parts
I have seen the videos seems simple
just order the button assembly online
save yourself some big buks
you can probably fix it faster yourself this way too...

But I unlocked my bootloader, this clearly is a hardware issue right, you think they will be nagging about it when I send it back?
