probably while doing a SR in the street the volume buttons of my HD fell and lost.
anyone knows where i can get spares or a whole new case ?
thanks..
Hi guys, I have a problem, since my 1 year old got hold of my hero - the accept call, menu and trackball centre buttons do not work,
I have taken the phone to bits, had a good look round the button pads and they are all dry and look fine.
Does anyone know where I could get spares or have had the same issue?
Thanks
Mark
Has anybody have the same problem I have with the DHD volume button? My device has the bottom part of the button jutting out a little bit, and I am worried it might fall off. I have only had this phone for 2 and a half weeks, so before considering an exchange, has anybody had the problem and fixed it? I would hate to take the button off and not be able to put it back on properly.
Can you take pic and upload it?

I had the same problem. I sent mine back to Phones4u after about a week.
Whether it would have fallen off or not, I don't know - but as mine was like that after a week or so I didn't want to take any chances.

Here are the pictures, hope they're good enough quality.
Mine's the same, it's going back when vodafone get more stock.
I also noticed the top of the screen clicks and creaks as if its loose.
Mine is the openmarket version and vodafone only have the branded handsets in stock anyone know the difference?
Just return it.
Hi all,
I've my phone about a month now and I have almost the same problem with the volume button.
Actually it isnt that bad as the pictures above but you can definetally feel that the vol-down button sticks a litle bit out while the vol-up is very hard to press.
(The powerbutton is also hard to press but that seems to be with everyones phone)
It seems HTC is very bad in making hardware buttons, I had also button problems with my Touch HD and my HD2!
What do you recommend me? Should I return it or not?
Ps for htc maybe:
The main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.
I have a solution, make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.
I think that should solve a lot of problems
The bottom bit of the volume button comes out a bit too on mine but not that far!

Based on the images he posted somethings clearly wrong with it. The buttons not set in the device properly at all.
Same problem...

From the pictures, i had the exact same problem. On day one, i was so happy to have the phone i looked passed it ( it was the very slightest bit sticking out ), then eventually a week later it really started coming loose, when you press volume up for example the bottom of the button would literally pop out and dangle.
In the end i arranged for a replacement the next day as i was illegible as i only had, had the phone for a week. What struck me is the elastics holding the volume rocker in place? thats the last thing i'd expect something made out of "metal" to be locking it in place.
Hi all,
i have the same problem. the volume rocker is not sticking to much out but you can definitely feel the difference between the upper and the lower side of the button. the upper side is like pushed in and kind of hard to press and you don't fell the "click" when you push the vol up. the lower side i slightly sticking out but you can fell the "click" when you push the vol down.
how do yours fell when pushing vol up?
i don't know if i should replace the device or not???
here are some pics of my problem
thanks

I returned mine and I think you should too.
Works perfectly now, but not sure if it can last 20 months as my old one broke so early. Taking the greatest of care whilst touching the volume rocker now. Kinda sad that a device so expensive has quite a few cosmetic flaws.
Exact same issue with mine i dabbed some super glue ont he plastic and the metal. Its alot better now. Seen new buttons on ebay, has anyone tried these yet? How do you install them?

In the picture you attached, the volume key lok in the correct place. However, the Aluminum or battery cover is not in the correct shape. I can see some distortion.
My dhd volume buttons stopped working a while ago (unless u press really hard). I ordered a new button and it arrived a month later, now even with the new button, they r not working .
Also pushing the buttons with a pencil tip (without the volume rocker) still doesn't make it respond easily...almost completely dead
What am I supposed to do to fix it? DIY possible? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Hey look buddy. I had the same problem and I have resolved it by replacing, by myself, the mother board were the volume buttons were attached . It's a DIY thing. Just order from ebay or any local mobile service parts from your country, the upper main board ( upper mother board ) and then search on youtube, how to disassemble the phone. Just to be very careful when you open up your phone because it's a little tricky, and remember the order of your steps.
Good luck !
Long story short my S5 got wet and I took it apart, but when I put it back together the volume keys aren't working. I'm not sure If I need to buy the midsection of this phone that houses the volume and power buttons or if I need to buy a new LCD glass. I think I may have cut the ribbon cable on the left side of the LCD screen. See the below image of how the two cables look like they should be connected but are disconnected. Every tear down and pics of this phone show these two cables being connected. Can someone please confirm if I did indeed cut this cable and if it does control the volume up and down buttons? I want to exhaust all my options before I break down and buy the midsection. If I did infact cut the cable then it will be a costly mistake. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Im not sure if you did but for now you can download a volume widget till you can have it looked at

I wish it were that simple as I have another problem with my phone, but in order to fix that problem I need to fix the volume button problem. My phone is stuck in boot loop from getting wet. It's unrooted and I could access the screen to wipe data when the volume buttons worked, but even after trying to wipe data it would still stay in boot loop. Now, If I help the volume down, home, and power button I could access the Downloading screen. This screen will give me hope of reloading a new OS, but I can't get to this screen till I can figure out my volume button issue. I"m hoping some one can shed some light to my question above. Thanks
