Volume Buttons Sticking - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just started to notice this today. Has anyone had this issue or have it? I've had it about a month now.

Sticking to the finger? You mean it is not perfectly fixed?

Here's a video that shows disassembly and removal of the button assembly. It doesn't look like the switches would be the kind that would stick, so it's probably crud in the buttons. You could try to remove and clean the assembly, but if you are still in a warranty exchange period you might consider that.
I'm hoping that different color buttons come out soon. I'd like to change mine out for red, white, or blue.

Back on topic please... If you haven't anything constructive to say then please don't post at all... No one wants to see people arguing over something here. Regardless of who's thread this is the forum rules still apply to all.
Thread cleaned

I just confirmed this happening to me, but I think it's been happening for awhile. I'm going to warranty exchange because even without touching the volume button, it is constantly trying to lower itself as if I were holding the button down continuously. Serious glitch... Not only prevents listening to music, but also interferes with any other buttons/typing.

I don't have that problem. That's rather odd, I've never heard of that happening. Maybe you got some debris under the button and that's adding pressure to the sensor, and that pressure makes it nearly activated and only needs a small additional amount of pressure to fully activate it? That's the only reason I can think of lol.

I have heard of a few ppl who had similar issues, not very many shouldnt be a prob i would check it like the other guy said tho, i think it was a similar post also. I personally pretty much always have a case on unless im not working. So im thinking thats helped me, ive had mine since may and no probs with that

I have been having the same problem. The button will still "click" but it will turn on well before it clicks. It will turn on by just resing my finger on part of it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do short of permantly voiding my warranty by taking it apart and replacing the power button. This only started happening after I think I dropped my phone on the power button with a case on. I still have one replacement left with Verizon but that would require turning s-on and returning my phone to stock. I also want to keep my amoled screen. Does anyone have any insight in this matter?

Unresponsive Touch Screen & Case "clicking" sound

Well, I didn't wanted to create two threads so I merged my two questions into a single thread instead.
1st, to my notice whilst playing games(tested on inotia 3, destinia), there are several occasions whereby the touch screen would not work(my character is not attacking so I know its not working) then after 2 - 4 seconds then it would work again.
Is there any solutions to this problem?
p/s: HTC Gestures is disabled btw.
2nd, I noticed a "clicking" sound when I press the bottom part of my One X. I am okay with the sound but will it lead to any possible defects in the future?
I get both these issues, the clicking is more noticeable when typing and is only happening in certain,areas

I had already done these from day 1, but its still happening(except that I enabled usb debugging).
most likely the clicking is causing the rattle sound from the camera
no reason to worry

the sound comes from the specific area(it happens at all sides of the phone) that I pressed so I think its not the camera?
none of this may help, but my brother put a screen protector over his GS II and it wasn't as responsive as mine was.
but touching the screen shouldn't make a clicking noise unless it's the game sounds. you are either pressing too hard or you need a new phone before the whole thing comes apart.

Mine wasn't on screen protector, still naked. I am touching the case of the phone(the sides, the exterior part) that produced the sound.
p/s: the 1st and 2nd are two different questions, not related at all
I've noticed my HOX screen becomes unresponsive quite often, usually I have to press the power button to knock the screen off, then press it again and unlock but 9 times out of 10 it goofs up the game I'm playing. Happens a lot on Angry Birds.
So much for this being HTC's flagship device, so far I've been nothing but disappointed with it and its ridiculous manufacturing faults (also suffering from flickering screen, crap signal etc.)

Yeah, and since my country's currency is not as high as USD, so the price of this phone is elevated by a bigger margin(so I need to fork out more money to buy it) so it kinda disappoints me though
but what I am more concerned is that,
1. Is there a fix for the unresponsive touch screen?
2. Do I need to go for an exchange for the case "clicking" sound?
p/s: I am on the OTA 1.2.8 Asia Region
1. Probably not until kernel source is released.
2. Yes, mine doesn't click at all.

For the 2nd one, for some weird reason, after I had pressed it for many times, the screen doesn't have that sound anymore

Now you mention it I remember seeing somewhere that the cases on some one x's weren't pushed in properly and the solution was to press down hard on a certain spot and it would click into place, that's probably what you just did. I will see if I can find the thread.

oh, there's only slight sound btw. And for a weird reason, after I pressed it, one side of the screen flex is gone, leaving the lower left hand side still intact.
yeah but probably you should still trade it in. No problem with responsiveness of touchscreen on any I had
Uhm, mine is absolutely not clicking and I don't have any touchscreen problem.
Perhaps it happens only on some applications?

Well, did a factory reset but I can't still determine whether it has problems or not as the unresponsiveness occurs randomly

Not really sure about that, since it occurs once in a while
Mine is ALWAYS unresponsive when plugged in, right pain in the arse. Likely software though hopefully they'll fix in next ota

Screen randomly doesn't respond

Hi fellow PLAY owners, I'm having trouble with my screen. I can turn my phone off no problem, but when it comes to waking it up, either by pressing the power button or the home button, my screen won't turn on. I can slide it open, and i hear stuff going on as if my screen were on, but I can't see anything. It'll be like that for random amounts of time, like 1 minute, or as long as 5 minutes or more. Any ideas? THANks
That's the flexible cable problem...

I had the same problem..... and now it wont work at anytime... ); so am trying to replace the screen digitizer.
Alright, how about a little Xperia PLAY anatomy class lesson then? What does the flex cable do and what does the screen digitizer do?
they do different jobs

the digitizer lets the software know where you pressed on the screen, the ribbon connects the screen and digitizer to the main board of phone
So which one would it be if even pressing the power button, which is a harware button, doesn't respond?
Can anyone help me by giving me the part number I should order? I'm checking eBay but there's at least two options for the same named part... Thanks guys!
Is your phone underclocked while the screen is off?

mine has the same problem but i think there's only a dead spot. For example, the numpad place for 4, 5 and 6. Is there any way to solve this other than taking it to a technician? Problem appears at random times also. Thanks in advance!

I think this is a different issue. My entire screen won't turn on even though the phone itself is on.
By the way, my problem has gotten worse. Now it will only turn on (by chance) after I have slid out the gamepad. Grr..

As far as I know there is no under or overclocking going on. Not unless my ROM does it without me knowing it (Gin2Ics).
Anybody know the name for the flex cable part? Or the part number? Thanks/:cyclops:
So I bought this screen digitizer thinking that it was the problem... and it took forever to get delivered! anyways, I replaced the digitizer and am having the same problem.... :/ and after I changed the digitizer I noticed that the flex cable is actually ripped!! so now I purchased it from here and I'll keep u updated.
Hey thanks so much man. Hope it gets fixed. I want to know how it works for you so maybe I might do the same. It finally died out on me and screen won't turn on at all...
That's exactly what happened to me!
soo.. it finally worked after I changed the flex cable

That's cool man. Congratulations. I, unfortunately, didn't have the same luck. My phone is out for the count. I now have the sad news of no longer being an Xperia PLAY owner. Sad face.
I'll leave this question opened though, for others who might profit from it! :highfive:

No vibrate

This is my first thread so forgive if i put it in the wrong place. I wasn't sure where it should go.
So did the usual phone user mistake and dropped (threw) my phone. cracked the screen pretty good. I've messed with phones for a while now so i purchased a new screen and digitzer and tore down the phone. pulled the old screen off, replaced it with the new and everything was good as new. ran some tests with video and quick touches as well as multi-touch and zoom. everything worked great but i have no vibrate. the phone can be put into vibrate mode but it doesnt vibrate. i tried factory reset, though i figured it was hardware and not software. If anyone who has torn down these phones knows anything about the vibrate can you please guide me into fixing this?
On a side note, i also broke a little golden clip off the inside later when tinkering trying to fix the vibrate (im pretty sure it completes the circuit for sound because now i have no sound).
Bump. Sorry but this is kind of urgent. does anyone have any ideas on this?

It is possible that the connector came loose. Try checking that. The motor could have also been damaged so it make need to be replaced.

SO FRUSTRATED. New LCD installed, black screen issue.

Hey guys how are you!
So my beloved evo's lcd broke and i just replaced it today. The strangest thing is happening.. the screen turns on fine, but once I turn it off, it wont turn back on. The three buttons at the bottom light up and the screen, i can tell, turns on. But I cant see the UI. It is definitely not a software issue and I have tried reseating the ribbon cable multiple times. What the hell? Is my evo too old? only way i can make it work is with a reboot which is super annoying.
I have one with a shattered screen I will be replacing soon. If my memory serves me correctly there are several different types of ribbon sizes. Hopefully that is not your issue. I would suggest using a bright light and looking into the female receptacle (no dirty jokes please) and make sure that nothing is bent or twisted. Also check cable that none of the connections are not chipped.
Not sure if this will help but it is worth a shot. Other than that I am not sure what could be wrong.
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness
Edit: well fine honda but just one and you have to promise that it will be clean

The screen turns on fine. Its something I've never seen or heard about.
Well what caused the problem in the first place? Did ir just stop working or was it an innocent victim lacking the proper protective coverings?
Either way there could be more hardware problems than your screen. Give this a try and tell me what happens. Plug your phone into the charger, if nothing happens with the screen try connecting to your pc, and if still nothing try a rom that has the volume keys to wake aokp/cm are a couple that I know have that option.
If that doesn't work I will see what else I can think of.

But seriously, so is this what happens?
You turn on the device. Powers up ok. You can see the screen. Then what? How long till it disappears? Are you doing anything when this happens? Can you unlock the phone and see the desktop? How do you know the screen turns on fine? What exactly is giving you this impression?
Sounds to me like another broken lcd. Do you have another phone you can swap out the mainboard and help isolate the problem: mainboard or lcd/digitizer/connectors.

It powers up fine and then as soon as the screen turns off (either manually by me or by timeout), it will not turn back on. The screen powers up, the lights at the bottom turns on but its a very dark grey screen. And as you said, isolating the problem would be easy if I had another mother board. I have another one with a wide flex cable IDK if should request a replacement or if i should get a more expensive, OEM LCD.
Ok questions for you.
Stock/rooted
S-on / off
Rom/kernel combo
Min/max governor
Oc/Uv
Everything thing else works
Power button (I say yes)
Volume +/-
All 4 screen buttons
All points of screen responsive
If your on a rom that supports volume wake try it
Auto brightness off/on

I did my research, man. Literally tried everything. Its not software, no setting can fix it.
Think it could just be an issue with waking? The lights coming on but just a dark gray screen has happened to me with several ROMs. Bumping up the minimum CPU speed a notch or 2 usually solves it.
I asked the seller and he said it is not oem. Do you guys think it makes a difference and if I should suck it up and buy OEM?

That's what I though at first. Hours of tweaking and research and I figured it cant be a software issue.
