Hello, a few hours ago my Nexus 7 suddenly started acting as if I was continuously pressing the volume down key. I could not even power down. Thinking I got a nasty software bug, I installed an app from play that let me reboot. It immediately rebooted into recovery though, just as if I had been holding down the volume key while it booted.
I have slimkat installed with twrp v2.7.0.0. I installed a recovery from before the skimkat installation (stock with root and twrp). But it too rebooted into twrp again (as if I was tapping volume down while it rebooted). So I tried to reboot into the bootloader to see what that would do (it allows you to use the volume keys to make selections). I got to the bootloader and sure enough, it was cycling through the options like I was tapping volume down over and over.
Help? Any ideas? I have pulled off the back cover and cleaned around the volume and power keys. It does not appear anything is wrong with them. Is it a software issue? Hardware? Any help would be appreciated.
Ok just one update on this issue. I think this is likely a hardware issue. I managed to disconnect the side key cable for the volume and power keys while it was booting, and it booted up just fine.
I am not sure what is wrong with the keys, but the fact that the tablet will boot into system when they are not attached tells me I probably need to replace them. Just FYI for the unlucky person who might also behaving this problem.
I am also experiencing volume problems. Mine is software related I think. The problem I have is that all volume and sound will disappear as if I have muted all sound. I have no touch sounds, no YouTube sound, no music audio, nothing at all from the speakers or the headphone jack. A reboot will fix it, but after say 10 minutes of use the sound goes again. The volume controls do nothing. Completely stock 4.4.3.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi all.
Since yesterday I have strange problem. Sometimes when working with my PDA the sound volume goes down(like I'm holding the sound button down). When I try to get volume up(by the sound button or by clicking) it again goes down like I'm holding the sound button down. Only way out: move down the sound button and then up...then it's ok(sometimes for a hour, sometimes for a few minutes).
I tried to go back to my backup from 11.8. - there waren't any errors and everything was instaled fiine. It seems ok - but just for a while :/
Anybody with same problem?
Do you think it is rom or hw problem?
Any idea?
Strange things happen on a Saturday morning. I found my volume go up randomly without me pressing the rocker and my volume down button was not working. For some reason, I thought this might be a software issue and went ahead to flash a new Energy Rom....but here's where it gets twisted:
Task 29'ed the device...and now, the phone is stuck at the splash screen and I can't get to the bootloader cuz apparently, the volume down button is actually not working. One solution is obviously to check for hardware issues...but I won't be able to do it for a couple of days. I was wondering if there might be a beacon of hope to somehow enter the bootloader without using the volume rocker.

my volume down button broke. I had to get a new phone from assurion.
Hi,
I have a Blue Angel (XDA IIS) that has been flashed with WM6.1. I have been using it for a few years until recently that I got this weird problem.
While the phone is idle, suddenly the volume increases automatically by itself, as if some one pushes the volume slider up, and keeps pushing it. As a result, the speaker keeps beeping as the volume already hitting the max.
After awhile, it will then stop. For a short while later, it starts again. While this is happening, I cant turn off the phone using the power button on the top. But I can turn off the backlight by doing a long-press.
I have tried to reflash the firmware and also did a hard reset, but it doesnt solve the problem.
Anyone has encountered this weird problem? The buttons seem to work fine when not in that weird condition. If it is not software problem (since I reflashed it) and hardware (buttons work fine in normal situation), what else could it be?
Any idea anyone? Really appreciate some advice.
Rgds,
CH
Hey guys really need your help. I've noticed that my volume is getting stuck in like a mute mode. It doesn't ring at all and the volume controls do not work. I primarily notice this especially after I have connected a bluetooth device to my phone. I tried doing a search and couldn't find any info on this. I did find the issue pertaining to older phones but their recommended "closing all apps" didn't fix the problem. The only way I can get my volume to function again is to power cycle my phone. Downside, is unless I'm constantly monitoring my phone, I don't always notice that it has happened and have missed several calls as a result.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
if you press the volume up or down and then press the speaker icon (that appears on top left) one or two times and then you can increase the volume and decrease as normal, it will solve the problem, i dont know how i got stuck with mute but this solved my problem at least
Hi,
I am trying to increase the ringer volume using the volume up button but it is not working. Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero. Even when I slide the indicator over at higher values the moment I press the volume up button it returns to zero. I restart the phone and the problem seems to go away for a couple of hours and then automatically goes to zero again without me touching it. Anyone else has this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? The phone stays in vibration mode only and I miss calls because of this.
Thanks.
Strange problem, my volume button seems to work fine and I cannot reproduce the issue. You may have to try a full wipe and reinstall the ROM.
Hi thanks for the reply! I am on the original elephone rom. I only updated through the elephone application, but this issue appear much later!
Perhaps try flashing an older ROM again or try clean install of eragon ROM, if problem persists then maybe it's a hardware issue like a sticky volume switch.

I somehow doubt that. As OP said "Whenever I press the volume up button the volume indicator comes up but remains at zero."
For me it sounds more like the switch is working but there is a software problem.
@ OP: Have you tried e.g. to watch a video or listen to music an the higher or lower the volume? Is it working there at least?
I am using a rooted cricket h634 LG stylo 5.1, WITHOUT custom ROM installed, I am also experiencing issues with my volume up button, I have removed bloatware but that is the extent of what I've done so far. My volume wrks if I use the drop down tray, volume down works, but not up.
