Bought a 5X off swappa, running great for a couple days, but now the volume keys are not working anywhere, even the bootloader. Anyone encountered this problem or know how to fix? Second, is there a way to re-lock the bootloader without the use of the volume keys? I can run fastboot oem lock and get to the confirmation screen, but the default is "No do not lock" and I am unable to move up to Yes. :crying:
seems like your volume rocker is defective. neverhad to use it, and so i'm not quite sure about its functionality, but isn't there an OEM-lock switch in the dev menu?!

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 Guys,
My powerbutton works pressing down but it seem that the trigger sensor is stuck on. I cannot turn it on from wake either since its already supposedly pressed. The only way is to take my battery out and reboot. Even when I place the battery back in it would start on its own (yea thats how i figured it was stuck..)
So in my mind, I'll just return my rooted phone to Sprint by unrooting it. Ah, there's a problem I can get into Bootloader but i'm not able to toggle the selection because the power button is still active.
Is there anyway I can use adb to push updates from my computer without having control of the phone itself since it's useless?
As far as returning the phone, the problem is a physical issue not a software issue, what are my chances of getting a replacement? Thanks!
If you are still using the volume buttons, can you try to press [again] the power button to select? Also, likely to get a replacement since its a hardware issue.
it wont let me toggle up and down at all at bootloader.
i'm a little concern what they might say when they see its a rooted phone S-OFF feature (that's if they decided to look into the problem further) but its very evident the button is stuck at ON.
I think you should still be able to unroot by hooking it up to your computer and running an RUU.
50/50 they will look in further, since its a hardware issue. And they won't like it being rooted, they may tel you have to pay 100$ if they see it. And I'm not too sure where to push the files via adb, but I believe it can be done.
Hey,
I have noticed that from 4.0.4 my GNexus started to unlock with volume buttons or handset buttons. I wanna know if this is change made by Google or something just went wrong because I found it annoying. I want to change volume in pocket and phone unlock. I change track on my headphones and my display turn on.
Thanks
I currently use Sweep2Wake as my primary method of unlocking and locking my phone, and thought it would be a cool alternative to having a password (as i am on a stock rom with shortcuts on the lockscreen that i can't use with a password) if this could be the only way of unlocking the phone. Most of my friends are iphone users and the ones that do have android phones don't know of this feature.
Ideally the power button would still work when the phone was unlocked (at least for the purposes of the power menu) and turning the phone on.
As an FYI I already have the volume buttons configured to skip tracks on long press.
If anyone knows of an app or mod that i could flash to help me out i'd be grateful, and please no "get a password!" posts
I see a little problem here, if S2W fails for some reason, how you gonna turn on your phone?. neat concept, bad idea
I want to unlock my bootloader but unable to do because of the broken volume buttons. I am able to go to bootloader by using adb commands.
The volume keys need to be pressed in the last step of unlocking bootloader, as you can see the attached picture. Can anyone please help me in this. Both the volume keys are not working in my case.

Or you dont have like i did long time , couse the buttonsbare not really needed couse d2w and fluid geastures and volume or any other way to trigger volume to adujst

I fixed the volume flex issue by adding a thin piece of paper behind the flex which produced enough pressure on the volume rocker to work.
