Hello.
I've been trying to figure out the source of the problem with my volume buttons.
The problem is:
The volume buttons suddenly stop working. I need to reboot the phone or wait another time to have them working again. The problem happens randomly, I cannot figure out the source of the problem. They just don't work to adjust volume, but if I try to take screenshot (combo of power + volume down keys), it works without any problem.
Had this problem initially on full stock Android, without root or mods.
Now I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed Havoc-Os and rooted, still having the same problem.
Is there something wrong with the software or hardware of the phone?
Can someone guide me to troubleshoot this problem?
Pie or Android 10?
Still on pie.
Is it a common problem on android 9?
Never seen that or heard of that
this also happens to me with my Oneplus 5T
I have no idea why...
they randomly stop working for a few days to work again for another few days and it cycles

Hi there, is anyone else having problems with their power button and/or volume up button? My power button doesn't wake the screen on first press nor does the volume up increase volume upon first press.
I first encountered this problem when I flashed a custom kernel on stock Jellybean 4.1.2. Before that, when the device was still at stock, everything ran fine. After I updated to 4.4.2 (Sling v2.2.2) the problem still persisted and after flashing a custom kernel (solid) for KK, it worsened a bit.
I've put with it so far since it only took 1-2 additional presses for the button to work (both power and volume up) , now it takes more than 3 at times. is there any way to fix it? Preferably without having to flash anything new, but I'm open to ideas for as long as it's a definite fix. Going back to JB is a out of the question, I don't want to go through the hassle of having to fix my phone's files.
By the way, I'm using an F180K model. The one with Olleh branding.

It seem a stock KK issue. It doesn't happen while I'm testing CM. But when I use stock KK based rom I also got that problem.

What ROM would you recommend that doesn't have this issue?
After flashing CM 12 on Xperia M, I have encountered this problem. After using the phone without locking down the phone, it works fine, as soon as I lock the phone, within 5-10 minutes the phone doesn't wake up on pressing power button. It will only turn on when I remove the battery and insert it again but that is just temporary solution. What is the reason for this? Is the battery faulty, or the processor is underclocked or kernel related problem? Please tell me the cause of this problem and way to fix it.
Recently I re-flashed the phone with CM 13 but same thing continues
It sounds like a hardware fault. Are you using a custom kernal or stock?

I don't have much idea about kernel, all I can say is that I am using Custom ROM (CM 13) and I have not tweaked with kernels

Hmm... So you haven't played around with your processor or anything thing like that? Also this could be an Xposed Module interfering with your device?

I have not tweaked the processor, neither used Xposed modules. Apparently IMEI number is missing after flashing custom ROM.

as your IMEI missing, i will suggest you to Flash Stock ROM and then move to custom ROM....
but first open your battery cover and check is there anything, which may blocks you from pressing power key.., clean button area with Dry cloth...
I am facing a similar issue with c2004. The power button works..... but it can be used only to switch on from the off state....... after the phone is in switched [ON mode] power button does not work (waking and switching off the device's display) or powering off the device...
The device had Sony stock JB4.3........ I thought it was a software issue.... then I unlocked and updated to CM13 but the problem persisted...
It seems to be a hardware issue.... may be related to power button(may be power switch struck in ON mode)... One more issue is there..... I cannot charge the phone or connect to PC when the phone is [ON mode]....... first I have to properly shut it down (power off).... then I switch it on with power button and in a few seconds I have to connect charger or connect to a PC... only than it will charge or connect to PC.
For using switching the display on/ off and powering off the device....... I have swapped the camera and power button.....
So.... can anyone shed light..... to what could be wrong and the solution....
Thanks....

Thanks, I flashed the device with Stock ROM and everything is working fine (didn't flash CM 13 later though). Latest flashtool refused to detect the device (Xperia M) with CM13 installed but then I used the older version of flashtool 0.9.18.6 and it worked like a charm!

In my case, flashing the device with stock rom resolved the issue, try flashing your device with appropriate firmware, with an old flashtool to Stock ROM, that might solve your problem
My Pixel C is fully changed but the screen is black and won't display anything at all. I know it is on because I can take screenshots with the hardware button and hear the noise. I can also see it on Android Device Manager. I have long pressed with all the different button combinations. It reboots but the screen shows NOTHING (not even the Google boot logo).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
It is stock and not rooted but subscribed to the Beta channel.
I has this problem today as well and I'm on beta as well. I had to press the volume down button as well as the power button to get into recovery mode and rebooted from there. I can only assume it's something to do with the beta as I have not had this before I updated to O beta.

I didn't elect to install O. I didn't see the update notification in the last couple weeks before it had this problem.
I can't get to recovery because the screen is off. How did you do it? Or were you able to see the screen after holding the volume down button as well as the power button to get into recovery mode?
I had to hold both buttons down for about 30 secs and then I got into recovery mode. From there I just restarted the device.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that is not working. I have tried holding for 60 seconds just to be sure. It is so strange!
Not sure what it is in that case. Have you tried the volume up button to get fast boot mode?
I am having this problem aswel, on the android O beta. I can not use it and I can not see the bootloader when holding down power + volume down
edit: resolved the issue by trying button combinations until it booted (took around 2 hours total with time of disappointment in between)
edit2: oh my ****ing god it booted correctly (showed bootloader warning + bootlogo + lockscreen) but it locked and now it's black again!
edit3: was able to get into fastboot after 3 tries so i'm flashing the factory image right now (7.1.2)
edit4: flashed 7.1.2 factory image and was able to fastboot boot into twrp but still no display.
edit5: i am now troubleshooting i checked all the files in /sys/devices/50000000.host1x/54400000.dsi/54400000.dsi.0/backlight/lpm102a188a-backlight/ they all indicate 255 which is 100% anyone have any ideas?
final edit: i fixed it by trying a **** ton of times
Hello,
Can you tell what have you do to repair the pixel? Have the same issues after Oreo update :/
Anyone found a way to fix permanently? Mine started doing it around Christmas 2018, and it takes more and more tries every time (to ctrl-down power) and at some point it works... Then all stays fine until I close the lid or put it to seep.
Did someone reinstalled completly the os and got a success? I am not rooted, this started when It tried (and failed) to install 8.1 (update of oreo).
Hello everyone!
Like it's written in the heading I have some problems with my one m8. It runs with LineageOS (14.1-20170803) and my powerbutton drives me crazy atm..
Sometimes the powerbutton does what it made for. But most of the time instead of locking the screen it shows me the bootoptions (restart, power down, restart into recovery). This window should appear if I press the powerbutton for a while, not if I press it short time to lock the screen. The second problem is the camera. It seems to be connected somehow. I don't know why but sometimes when I (short)press the powerbutton the smartphone vibrates and asks how to open the following action (options are camera and Snapchat ).
I would like to give you further details, but I don't know what you need Maybe something like a logfile would help to solve the problem? How can I give you a log, which includes my problems ?
Thanks!
Try the previous release before Aug 3rd (maybe Jul 27th) and see how.
Or try another ROM and see whether same problem is there but don't try RR 5.8.4 that recently released, you're going to have same problem.
I can guess why that problem happens but I'm not using these ROMs as DD only briefly tested.
Or you can try the same ROM that I'm running now and tell me you have the problem or not. Link in my signature.
I left my phone overnight with a low battery and not charged. The next morning, my home button stopped working. Just my home button and my fingerprint, my back and recent buttons were working fine.
I have been using on-screen buttons since. I have a stock ROM running OxygenOS 9.0.6. I am also not rooted. Thanks to anyone who helps.
you can either backup everything and download an unbrick tool and run it or you can just stick to onscreen nav buttons which i always use because the hardware buttons are overated
I do not have a unlocked bootloader or a custom recovery. And I don't want to reset my phone. Just wanted to know if there was a way to fix this without any modifications. I use my Google pay so I can't root or do anything like that.
well unless you reset your phone there is no other way unless you buy another phone
Ok thanks for all of your help ?
