My volume slider is permanently in the down position. I can turn the volume up but not down (unless I use the cursor down on the d-pad once the volume app is on the screen - which is what I'm doing at the moment)
Is it easy to fix? Don't really want to ship the whole unit back to be honest.
Thanks.
borgs...you can remove the face plate (screen side) and reset the button..i have had to do this, and it is not as scary as you think....
here is a great tut on getting to the guts of your device:

My volume slider is defective and seems to be always pushed tot he left, turning all volume of completely and leaving the volume control on the screen. This means I can't use the screen as the volume control is "always on top". How can I disable the slider?
I don't know if there's something you could alter in the registry to fix it but you could always try the Blue Peter approach!
Put the switch in the middle and glue, sellotope or bluetack the switch in place.

Thanks! I'm already doing that with Blutack - but it's a bit of a pain when it falls off in my pocket.
Does anyone know a reg key I could use?
Just an idea:
Try to remap that button to some other control with AE Button plus.

i just bought a used Droid incredible and i have had it for about 3 days and i have noticed something about the power button at the top. the power button doesnt "click" when pushed down like the volume buttons do at the side, it just goes down. its kind of annoying is there a way to fix it or something? are of them like this or is it just mine? if you have a droid incredible can you tell me if the power button clicks like the volume buttons do when you press it or does it stick like mine?
The power button does feel like the clicks in the volume buttons.
whenever my phone comes in contact with a lot of sand, the power button gets mushy like that. yes its supposed to click like the volume buttons. try cleaning it out and see if it helps
what do i do to clean it out? also is there a way i cant just remove the 4 screws on the back open up my phone and clean the power button from there? i think that would be easier because i can make sure there is nothing stuck down there. but the only problem is the VOID warranty sticket is on one of the screws and i dont want my warrenty to be voided because i just bought this phone.
so does anyone know how i should remove that sticker and put it back on the phone without ruining it?
You can use an exacto knife to peel it off, the topic is in here somewhere

Annoying Touch buttons
I think that the most DHD users have the same problem, touching the buttons at the bottom if you really dont want to.
So my question is if it would be possible to change the "Home" or the "Menu" button (pushing long) from "last used apps" to "turn on/off the touch keys???
that would be awsome
thx Dr.Pepper
Never been an issue for me, although i was anticipating problems with no hardware buttons its been fine...

Can't help but say, "you're holding it wrong!"
Seriously though I've never encountered this problem on either this phone or my N1 which has a smaller screen.
How exactly are you managing to press the buttons by mistake?
Regards.
iam the only one who has the problem that he accidently hits a touch key while using the phone or playing a game? every little contact triggers the keys. i.e. if i use the thumb to type a message, holding the phone in the right hand, i sometimes trigger the search key.
my idea is to make it harder to trigger these keys. as they are part of the touchscreen, it sould be possible to do anything that can be done with the touch sreen. my ideas:
1. double-touch; tapping the key 2 times (like a double-klick) triggers it once
2. sweep; i.e. you touch the home-button and sweep out of it, then release. can be even harder with sweeping out and back in.
3. circle-touch; making a little circle over the button triggers it.
other ideas welcome.
---------------------------------
2nd problem: easier unlocking;
i feel it sometimes tricky to unlock the pone, wich is done by pressing the powerbutton at the top of the phone and sweeping on the bottom of the screen. the phone is'nt very small (or i have small hands). if iam holding the phone at the bottom, i can nearly reach the whole touch area with my thumb, but to unlock, i need to use my 2nd hand or to juggle the phone so i can reach the power button with the right hand. with the G1, which had a menu button at the bottom, it was just double-pressing that button and the phone was unlocked. iam looking for a similar easy way to do it.
its just annoying to take the phone out of the pocket and use both handy or juggle around to unlock it...
i dont know it it wastes additional energy to have the touchscreen active, so it can be used to unlock the phone. so my ideas:
1. use the touchscreen to unlock; i.e. draw a pattern, press the bottom key in some order (home, back, menu to unlock)
2.1 use the volume keys. if the screen is disabled, they are used to change the audio volume (or is that only the case, if music is playing?) When holding the phone at the bottom with the right hand, the volume-down hey is easily reachable. so you can do volume-down (which activates the screen) and then slide on the screen like you would do if you have pressed the power button. pressing volume-down with deactivated screen does not change the volume, but pressing it twice does (i.e. 1st press unlocks the screen and 2nd press takes volume down).
2.2 press vol-up and vol-down at the same time to unlock the phone. if i do that the phone vibrates sometimes, no idea why.
3. use acceleromater (or a other sensor?) to unlock, i.e. shaking the phone in a special way (i.e. a circle), activates the screen, so you can unlock it by sliding on it. also full unlock by shaking a phone could be possible (also known as kung-fu-unlock )
other ideas also welcome.
Proximity sensor for unlock when taking it out of the pocket :-D. I have the same problem as you so a 'fix' would be nice
yeah, you take the phone out of the pocket and it unlocks and says "hello raw, how you are doing?".
but that would be nice. question is if constantly checking the prox sensor would drain the battery much. it needs to be checked every 3 seconds or so.

For all you Repair guys,
How do you re-assemble the volume up down key without damaging the buttons on the flex board.
Do you attach the back housing then insert the volume key?
Or it has to be done with both back housing and volume key at time of assembly?
hints tips please
In for an answer
This is driving me crazy as well! Has anyone figured it out? I get it in there and som,etimes volume up will work, but not volume down. The official HTC video doesn't show how to do it exactly. It does show the volume key being in there when they put the chassis back in the plastic shell part though.
I just repaired another hd2 I installed both the volume key and housing at same time and worked, It didn't distroy the tiny buttons on flex this time.
JUst go slow and do not force it
use some tape to hold the volume button in the housing while you install the chassis / screen into it.
Vol keys button installs just before u put backside,put button and align,then CAREFULLY put backside and snap on.find best angle that buttton holds himself in normal position then snap....

So I dropped my phone and the volume buttons semi-broke. They don't respond to normal presses but do occasionally react if I press hard enough (so obviously not fully broken). Does anyone know more about how the volume keys work and a possible fix?
I had the same problem. I opened mine (various guides out there, Google it) and put two small pieces of folded paper (to get the right thickness), under the button area. It works fine since.
Thanks a lot.
I just figured out If i press closer to the middle of the rocker it'll pop up more easily so I can at least adjust on screen.
