Volume stuck in mute - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Can't power off... volume goes down by itself...

Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it

[Q] Volume goes up automatically, power button doesnt work

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

Q: Volume acting like it's being pressed?

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?

Volume increase not working

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.

Volume increase automatically bug rn8pro

Hi my redmi note 8 pro from last night, while watching a series, the volume suddenly turned up to the maximum and after several attempts I managed to lower the volume by pressing the down button several times. Now randomly the volume starts to rise by itself and the only way to turn it down is to press the down button several times. the button physically seems perfect to me, so I could rule out a hardware defect, and instead think of a software problem. If you have any solutions please tell me.
I also add that even the shutdown key, like the volume one, sometimes does not work
im having this issue. Still investigating. have you solved your problem with the volume key?
