Hi .
The volume dead button in the HTC Desire is a recurrent problem wich lots of people complaint.
I bought my Desire in second hand for a sweet priçe because the buttons weren`t working and this is a big no no wen you have to perform any action wich requires entering in the recovering menu.
Now,....there is a simple fix to this seemingly life treadenig menaçe to your phone...
Prepared ?!
Grab a seringe with a needle and fill it with a bit o alcool and insert one of two drops of alcool under the button and click on the volume buttons for a minute or two and then let it dry on the sun or other heat source and DONE !!! It is has simple has that.
I think this action can be aplied to any stuck buttons on phones but then each case has is own problems and fixes.One side note,-dont soak the phone in alcool...one drop aplied with a needle will do but if dont repeat the process,just dont soak the phone in alcool,-there is no need and could ruin your phone.
Hope this help someone
Cheers
Carlos
Here is a pic on how the alcool should be aplied

I experience this from time to time since my recent software reset. Didn't happen much in the beginning, but I'm sure it must of been something I installed and uninstalled of a program I tried out. Could be Batti causing the problems, as it seems to have come about when I started using Batti.
There would be junk at the top, as well as almost all hardware buttons don't work. Some soft buttons may work, but don't do much. Blank Menus occur. Start button doesn't work, so I can't get to settings to manually deactivate Manila. Manila may restart on it's own, but no resolution and bugs still occur. Power button doesn't work, so I gotta open the battery case and soft reset.
Does this happen to anyone else (particularly Sprint users)? Are you also using Batti?
Here are pictures and Video

I have, for a very short while, used Batti with no problems at all. Maybe another piece of software you've installed??
If this problem persists, the only way out is to do a hard reset.
Hello,
Ive been wondering why my power button its so hard to press, its hard to explain but its almost an even surface when you pass your finger through the side of the phone, I mean its just more deep inserted in the case that the volume rocker for example. I dont know if its normal since I traded my phone for the galaxy nexus so I didnt get it new.

I just wanted to know if the volume rocker and the power button have the same "touch" feeling when you press them? If so, how can I fix it, maybe disassembling to fix that?
Cheers
Is that no one has experienced this or no one wants to help ?
I don't have your experience. My power button indeed feels roughly the same as volume up & down buttons.
i have exactly the same problem, my power button used to be nice before until i cleaned it with a soft brush
Has the phone ever been taken apart? My power button is normal but it could be that internally a clip broke or something. Its pretty easy to take it apart, not sure if you're comfortable in taking it apart
Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this

My brother has this widget/icon on his rooted S III and I'm trying to identify it so that I can eliminate it. It will move from screen to screen, and when you touch it it powers the phone off. Anyone have any idea what it is or how to get it off the screen?

This may sound stupid but have you tried long pressing on it and then dragging it into the garbage bin?

I haven't physically seen it or been able to play with it myself, but he said that whenever he touched it that it would power off the machine. And, to be frank, it is one of those cases where the phone has become smarter than the owner, so trying to diagnose this remotely has been a challenge. LOL But I think my nephew figured it out as some kind of power app that he'd installed.
So my Gnex went black over a year ago, I tried all the guidance at the time with combinations of plugging and battery pulls. It just plain would not respond in any way to any stimuli. I got a new Nexus 5 and lived happily ever after until the discussion of Lollipop on Gnex resparked interest.
So, I gutted the Gnex, everything looks good, but that little tiny button cell battery on underside of mainboard screams guilty.
BUT the little bastard is SPOT WELDED in its holder 6 places. 3 on top, 3 on bottom. Really? Yeah.
I manage to carefully sheer the welds with a tiny flathead. It reads ML414H.should be 3VDC, It tested out at 2VDC. Enought to keep phone from booting? Charging?
Anyway, I'm over here in Norway, and lets say getting on of these tiny batteries would apparently requires some creative logistics. (They dont even have Radio Shack )
I need help tracking down one to see if its a legit fix.

This battery is simply a backup battery for the system clock. The problem is not with it.
