I've been using the HD for two months, and the volume keys beneath the cover appear to have their plastic falling apart, revealing the tiny electronic parts underneath.. anyone else encountered it?

I'm also having the same problem. I been using my HD for around 7 months though. The volume down cover cracked and after awhile, the whole cover fell off. I wonder if this is a defect and will be covered by the warranty.
It's strange, but I find the button feels better without the cover. You get a sort of click when you press on it without the cover.
mine did the same after a week, Still works fine though!
Same here had the HD for 7 months, though I think mines related to using the stylus on the vol down button when entering bootloader mode.
Still works fine though.
Did anyone find out if this is warranty repairable? My volume down button came off after 4 months. I'm just concerned about the resale value!
I pay for Orange Care, so I think I can pay £15 for a replacement, but don't see why I should!
I´ve same issue with volume up button but also still working because there are some parts of it still there.
Don´t know if warranty is covering but I wanna know!

i second that.
my buttons rubber got demolished by using a fingernail for getting into the bootloader ...
My internal down volume button is also gone leaving the round brass contact exposed. Still works but yes horrible that it has happened.
Did any of you guys try warranty repair through HTC? The cover under mine has also cracked, which for me means it doesn't have that clunk positive feel and I'm just wondering what the process will be.
Thanks,
Jon
Same issue..
I never expected such an expensive HTC phone to have such basic build quality issues ..
Have placed a complaint with HTC support, trust they would be able to help.
Thanks...
ditto..
mine has also fallen off on the vol down button, no problem as it still works, but like it mentioned, would be worth checking out if its reparable under the warranty before it expires (do we get 1 year faulty parts?)
Well I phoned HTC today and their initial argument that if the button is broken due to usage then the warranty is not valid - Eh? I can't see how that's any kind of defence. Looks like they're trying to bypass the devices having to be of merchantable quality and/or fit for purpose.
They also had not heard of any other volume buttons breaking - whether that's true or not who knows.
I'm sending the phone in tomorrow, for an assessment so I'll update how it goes.

Any news from HTC? The rubber on my volume up buttons has broken away. This looks like a design fault on behalf of HTC... We should get together to let them know they've got a problem...
My VolUp button also is failing but - the internal(the one under the back cover) is kinda soft and it has its middle pushed in... now my VolUp button is hard to press cuz the outer button (the plastic with back cover) pushed the internal in a bit!!! Since I listen to musid a lot with my Touch HD its a pain to always push the VolUp button!! glad that you have the onscreen buttons!!
oh and about the construction : my HD fell out of my hands today from about a meter high - landed on the floor which was full with little pieces of sand, and slided a bit!! now I have some nice little holes on the front cover on the right top (opposite to the Vol buttons) !! glad that my screen had a screen protector , otherwise my screen would be just f***ed up!! (when I picked up the phone the whole screen was with little pieces of sand - like sandpaper-- I just wiped them of plugged my headphones back in, and everything worked like it did before the fall)
I have the exact same problem. The plastic / rubber on my volume down key has disappeared leaving the microswitch exposed and the volume down not feeling as good. It still works though.
Well my initial call with HTC was very negative - saying that if it's damaged due to use then I'll have to pay. I sent it off to be assessed anyway, good news was that they sent it back repaired by return post. Couldn't have been more pleased.
Well worth sending off.

Both my Up & Down Volume Plastic is gone the Up Still Works but the Down the Little Brass thingie fell off :-( HTC wants $300 to fix!
what should i do?
Me too......
Just when I was about to sell my HD, (a new LEO is on its way) my down volume key began to fail. Exactly the same peeling off the internal microswitch.
Where did you get yours repaired?
Mine was bought free.(Spain)

If your phones are out of warranty and want to do a self repair, here is the part (used) on Ebay (170408817615) for sale. I have looked high and low for months until I finally found it. The guy says he has 237 available.

IMHO this reference shows an HD part not related to the volume keys.
Not to mention the price......

Hey all.
As you all know, the N1 has a design defect that eventually causes the power button to break down after prolonged use. It's a design issue related to wear and tear. No avoiding this one. Just how long.
Mine got lucky, lasted slightly more than a year. Couple of days back, it eventually caved in.
So now, I'm considering a few options and I'd like to get some feedback from anyone.
If you were in my shoes:
1) Would you repair?
Cost being approximately $100-120 USD. With the phone almost certain to be scratched as part of the repair process. And with that, being certain that the battery button will someday eventually break down again due to the design defect.
2) Get a new phone NOW?
Cost being approximately $575-600 USD. Probably get either a MT4G or Desire HD/ACE.
Pros being = better screen type for multitouch, more ram, more internal hd, bigger screen, better cpu, better gpu.
Cons being = bad screen tech (LCD = crap colors & battery vs amoled), slow ROM updates unless you run custom (which is do, running CM, but official drivers, etc aren't out till the official stuff moves forward as well.), uber bad battery life (though this is subjective, let's say - average 8-10 hours a day), no 2nd mic for noise suppression, no trackball.
3) Wait for dual cores to come out in the next 2-3 months and get one then.
Which means buying at potentially up market costs because the tech is considered new and supply will probably be less than demand.
Would like to hear some ideas from the community. =) Thanks br0s. And uh, sis'. Lol.

Already rooted. Already on CM. I live in Malaysia. No profit due to shipping costs. Lol.
Maybe you want to try local HTC support? Check the cost for the repair 1st before deciding.
I think repair.. u can trade in low yat plaza .. n1 is still rare in malaysia.. mine got n1 too.. but still lucky no power button issue..
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I sent it to Vodafone Spain technical service (it was still under warranty) and got it replaced by a brand new one.
To avoid a new power button failure, I'm using No-Lock widget and Lock Screen.
I repaired mine myself last week, $40 (aprox) part from eBay, 2 hours work tops and it now works perfectly. I did make some very small scratches in the antenne cover, but I can live with that. Don't regret it in the least, now I'm ready to wait for a dual-core "Google experience" phone...
Besides, once you have the phone open you can make sure the small button inside doesn't move around (glue or small piece of paper), as others have said that that helped in not having the problem again.

There' no support for Nexus One in Malaysia. I called HTC Malaysia already. They said I'd have to send it to Singapore.

Don't think trade in will give me much sadly. Repair will cost me RM350. Was thinking of picking up Desire HD at RM1750. *Sam tong.*

Yeah, I'm considering repairing it on my own. Do you have the process guide? I heard you have to disassemble nearly the entire thing just to replace that board. Was hoping to solder the flex cable if possible. Do share your thoughts, am very keen to hear more.
chowlala, the 3 options given are of different magnitude in terms of objective and cost. Don't get me wrong, I have an N1 with broken power button too.
For now, the best option is to install one of those "power button replacement" software such as AnyUnlock.
If you plan to ditch the N1 later, then wait for the dual core phone. Just buy the phone you like, don't worry so much about the price. And buy the phone online or from Singapore (if not commonly available in Malaysia) coz its definitely cheaper compared to places like Low Yat.
The above is what I will do

Agreed. Very true.
Everybody would love to save money obviously.
I can live with the broken power button. I believe it's only a matter of getting used to it. And I'm pretty alright with ADB and running mods on the phone. So updating, etc will still be fine. And I'm currently using the Lock Widget, with Sleep on the pull down notification bar and long press Home to sleep the phone as well. Lol.
Only concern now then would be, how to power up the phone when I'm not near a cable. Anyone got any ideas?
I would love to keep the n1 if I can figure this one out. As of this point, everything is still alright as long as I'm near a cable. But if the phone hangs when I'm not near a cable.
That's a problem. =(
You certainly can live without the power button (I did for over two months) but it is a pain every time you have to power it off/on. The problem became too bothersome for me when needing to fly and when needing to swap sim cards, and not always having a pc at hand.
In any case, the replacement process does need for the entire phone to be disassembled, but the guide at ifixit was detailed enough for me. I did try to solder or otherwise fix the cable before replacing it, but it was impossible (very small, short, flexible and, in my case, it was completely severed). To see the cable you don't need to dismantle the whole phone, just the battery cover and the screws behind it.
After changing the board, I used some cable coating to make sure the button sat firmly and that cable was under as little stress as possible. Lets hope this time it lasts more than 8 months.
Can someone explain what the method is to reinforce the power button (with pictures if possible)?
Also, does this apply to the volume buttons too? On one of my refurbs, the top volume button got unresponsive and was probably dying the same way these power buttons do.
EDIT: didn't see you post before I did. I wonder if it's possible to secure the power button and volume button boards in a way that prevents stress on the cables.
I've been "living" without a power button for more than 4 months now, using a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to turn the device on and off.
As for the reboot issue, i always have a usb cable at hand and a small portable usb/dc charger when there's no laptop around.
PS I'm on stock.
I don't know of there being a generally accepted way to reinforce the power button. If you search you'll find very different ideas and opinions.
I think that the problem is that the button in the board rests over a metallic support that is part of the structure of the phone. However, the button just rests there, and depending on how you press the power button on top it can move around stressing the cable in the process. After spending some time with the phone open, I think that any solution that fixes the button in its place (glue, paper, o cable coating like I used) should help in reducing cable stress and extending its life. In any case, I don't think any of these solutions are permanent and eventually the cable will break again.
As for the volumen buttons, I have not heard about problems with them as they are are much better supported and there is no movement, cable stress or anything in that part of the phone. If you are having problems with them, maybe it's just dust or something else that got into your phone?
I'm still using widgets and trackball wake (I'm in CM7, so...), just to extend the useful life of the button as much as possible.

Your ribbons in the flex cable are probably fraying. That's what happened with mine. It slowly became more and more unresponsive until one point it just chucked out.

Hmm. Very interesting. I'm not keen on opening up the entire unit to fix the flex cable though. And I was at the repair shop when the guy told me the process, and I pulled back. I would go crazy if there was dust UNDER the screen. Hence why I would like to try soldering the cables first. Any idea on how to go about with that?

Yeah, but like I said, would be difficult to carry around. I hate having stuff in my pockets. If only like some sdcard-eject-reinsert or SIM card thing could work. That would be perfect. But of course I'm probably asking for too much already. Haha.

Yeah, that's a really good write up. I read that the instant my power button broke and has helped me reorientate real quick. I highly recommend the article to those who are facing the same problem.
I actually just sent my nexus one in for repair (I'm in Singapore, just bring the phone to the center). I complained about my phone was just a few days out of warranty (3 days) though I had no receipt with me. They waived the shipping fee (S$53.50 since it's an import phone). Got the phone back a week later with a quote of S$41.50 (not bad at all). The only down size is that the technician somehow didn't plug the cable in all the way. Now I have random flash light when booting up the phone and when picking up the call. Might have to open it up to secure the connection or to send it in for repair again (I have 3 moths of warranty for this part anyhow)
Hope it can help. I had the button failure as well. At the time I send the phone in, MIUI was installed and I did not get any complain about that.

I would send it in if I was in Singapore. Not sure how they'd deal with someone from Malaysia though. Repairs + travel/postage would cost quite a bomb. Though I've seen the board part costing about 30 euros. And I would be quite mad if I was returned a phone that has a random flash of light. Lol.
I thought hardware warranty and software warranty were two different issues? Besides, it's a well documented fact that the Nexus One and Desire suffer the same problem... no?
Maybe I can call in and report the phone as a Desire for repairs. LOL.
Hi there I have just recieved my Xperia Play from the repair centre and they exchanged it but the the power key is not working. It's stuck and I can't press it it's gone a bit inside
Is there a way I can pull it out a bit?
Thanks
We had trouble with one of ours the same. did you try taking back cover off as sometimes the cover catches the button and sticks it down.
The button design is really bad. Not easy to work at all.

Yes I did take the back cover off it works then but when I put on the back cover it covers it. It's not sticking out anymore
I have another problem as well the L + R shoulder buttons are stiff ! I can't even press them down !
What have they done to my Xperia Play?
Don't the SBE Extranet repair centre know how to handle a phone ?
I've just realised that there is a issue with the screen as well. It has white marks/dots on it and it wasn't like that before giving in the phone for repair.
It's like they don't give a S**T and don't take care of the phone when repairing it.
We all pay good money for a smartphone and we all look after it only to be damaged by those nimwits.
It makes me so angry
They are seriously gonna pay for this and I will make sure they do !
I got a brand new one after some water damage from my insurance and with in a week mine did the same thing. It pisses me off because I can't use my Trident case anymore. This is my third one and I just have to live with it because I don't want to wait again for another replacement. My first one the touch screen went out in two weeks. Thank God for insurance. Love the phone but next time I'm going with Samsung.

Does anyone else have this problem? I don't know if it's just in my head, but it feels to have a less defined click than the down and power button. it does work, but feels to be stuck in slightly.
wondering if I should take it back, I have never dropped it, or spilt anything on it or anything like that. The button does work, but just feels slightly different to the others, I'm worried in case it gets worse and stops working
I just tested my volume rocker again very thoroughly for you and my vol up feels exactly the same as the vol down button. Gives good tactile feedback. Id suggest you to get an exchange.

Thanks for the replies. It could be in my head, but I expect more when I have paid £580!
What would concern me is getting it swapped for one with other problems after reading threads on here. Mine is perfect apart from this perceived defect. I have until next Wednesday to get it exchanged though, in the uk they will only exchange it in the first 28 days, then the only option is to send away for repair, so don't want to have to do that and be without my phone for 2 weeks!

Hi
I have my s7 edge for 3 weeks now, and I started to notice that when I press the edges of the home button it sometimes won't register a click.
What I do is just press an edge of the button with my fingernail with low amount of pressure to create this issue.
I can't return it because it's been too long, and I'm afraid to use my warrenty because I'm afraid it won't remain water proof...
What would you do?

Had this too.... It drove me nuts...its a button shouldn't have to think about pressing it in the middle everytime.... If your still in your grace return period I would exchange it....
I thought I could live with mine but after 2 days I had to return it.... Replacement was perfect...
Edit* Oops noticed you've had it for 3 weeks.... Most companies give you only 14 days...... Guess you may have to just live with it........Is your fingerprint sensor working good?.... The biggest problem I had was I always hold my phone in my left hand then use my thumb to press the home button.... But hitting it on the left part of the button worked 1 out of 5 times.... You'll just have to get used to pressing in the middle

Personally I don't think they will say anything.... Samsung quality control has always been a little shady.... Actually this was the first Samsung phone I didn't have to take back since the S2.... But after a couple of days I realized people could barley hear me cause my microphone was I supposed to and out.... Got replacement and everything was perfect ? except the damn home button!.... So one more return later and now I have a perfect screen and a buttons work great
....... I'm really picky and OCD about phones when I get them.... I took my S6 back twice also.... Had a home button rattle and also dust under the screen...... If you ever get sick of it... I use button Savior app.... It replaces all your hardware buttons but you can gesture it or put an onscreen trigger to open it..... I like it better than other onscreen buttons because its always hidden until you need it

Mine does the same thing even when I pressed in the middle. I had to click twice since it didn't register the first one. Happened about 5 times but since I received an update from Tmobile, it doesn't happen anymore, or yet... Hopefully it'll stay that way.

It's kinda nice to know that I'm not the only one who cares about those annoying issues...
When i realized i have an issue it was already 2 days passed the 14 days so...
When i approached a samsung rep he told me that this is how the button works, and that i can send it to the lab but its going to take a few days so i passed..
Anyways i dont want my phone to be opened, I'm too scared waterproofing will be lost...

This is something a certified repair center can easily handle without losing the waterproofing. Certified centers have been trained to fix these models, and they have all the tools to do so, while uncertified repair centers won't necessarily have the training, and they won't have the official tools, so they can't guarantee that the waterproofing is still intact after a repair. If an official Samsung rep told you it could be fixed or whatever, then I'm sure it should be fine. You have warranty, and it should be used for things like this.
If you send it in, you'll probably sit where you are now in a week or so with a fully functioning device, or you can just ignore it and still sit where you sit now in a week with a defect device. I would do it.

I would send it in too..... But sometimes it can take 6 weeks... I had to send an S4 in once and it came back almost 2 months later.... If it's something you can't live with send it back..... But you should have a 1 year warranty if anything actually goes wrong with it...... It is a pretty widespread issue in the Galaxy S7 edge line hopefully they get it fixed in later batches.... But if it were me I would probably deal with it rather than send my brand new phone out... Unless they can guarantee you a return date
