After 2 weeks usage of my new Z1 the volume up/down rocker button has become "spongy" with no feel or travel when pushed.
Volume up/down still works (for now) but I fear it is going to degrade and perhaps stop working all together.
Also the power button feels sticky from time to time ... like there is something up there too.
Anyone got any idea what is going on with the hardware here?
Mine no problem. Hard use since November.
My only problem with this phone was USB cable. Sometime doesn't charge. Replaced with another one and perfect.

Couple of days ago I noticed that my DHD's volume down button does'nt work anymore. First I didn't pay attention, thought that after restart it will be solved, but it didn't. The volume down function doesn't work in any software (up works just fine). Before I decide to go to warranty, what do you think, is it a software or hardware problem? There is no accidents or any damages happened, I know and physically the button seems to work. Please help!
Normally buttons are hardware, in your case its easy to tell.
remove the battery. Put it back in. Hold down the volume down then turn on the phone, if it starts normally your button is dead, if you get into bootloader mode it could be software and you should try reflash or wipe in settings

Thank you so much Blackhorse!
Although the first try didn't succeed (perhaps I didn't hold both volume down and power button long enough), the second try started the bootloader and I was able to use both volume buttons. After another boot the stock rom started normally and now my volume down function is back! Hopefully it stays so...
Hey guys,
My volume keys have died. Part of the wire strip that is connect to the buttons is torn.
Any ideas if there is a replacement upperboard yet?
having the same issue... going to try blackhorse's solution and see if it works
best regard

unfortunately it didn't work. I guess the volue down button is dead, even though I had absolutely no accidents with it.
does anybody have an idea of how to solve this, since I live in Brazil, but bought DHD in Germany?
any help would be very appreciated
best regards
André
same problem here, my buttons stop working. What I usually do then is lift the volume keys up slightly and slide some paper underneath to clean some dust and then usually it works again (for a while)
borrowing a friends old D2G since my phone is toast. it seems it was dropped on the corner or something, right up by the power button/volume rocker. theres a big crack.. every so often even if i dont touch the area (but man if i do..) the phone acts as if im holding down the volume up button. its a pain to get it to stop, and it happens again soon after. im wondering if anyone could give me tips on a hardware fix, or maybe there is a way i can easily disable/enable whatever apk is responsible for the interface with the volume rocker.
How are your power and volume buttons in regards to them being loose or not? Mine are just a little loose. Nothing too major but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me just s little.

My power button is fine, the volume was very loose and rattly. This along with the non-flush panel on the back and some cosmetic damage on the frame led me to exchange it. Just waiting for my replacement now.
My power button is fine. The volume button is loose on mine though.
Bothers me too, but the rest of the phone is fine so I'm not going to RMA unless I find something really wrong about it.
Mine do not rattle, but the power button requires little force to be depressed. I have accidentally turned off the screen multiple times. My volume buttons are fine though.
The power button on my 6P is very smooth. No "click" when pressing, just..smooth if you will. The volume rocker makes a distinct click pressing either up or down & takes slightly more pressure to click. And I mean slightly!
No complaints here. That's the way it's supposed to be!
Volume button are fine. Power button..eh... smooth? They seem mushy to me. All buttons should have at least SOME feedback. I'm not even sure I hit it most of the time.
My first N6P was almost perfect: great screen etc. However, the volumebutton is loose and rattles. Today I got my replacement which has a perfect volumebutton. However, the powerbutton on this one is much deeper into the body and hardly sticks out, making it hard to press it all the way.

Number 1 is the N6P with loose volume button, number 2 is the N6P with too deep powerbutton...
Anyone had something familiair? How are your buttons?

Mine looks like number 2. Nice stiff volume buttons and and short/deep power button. My power button did feel weird to press at first but over time seemed to become normal. I have had mine without issue since the beginning of December.
My powerbutton is deep too. Volume perfect.
Return it. My first 6P came with a loose non clicky volume button. My replacement's button is perfect now.

Hello Guys,
i just want to ask, if you have experienced the same problem as i. I don´t know if i´m only imagine it, but somehow the power button suddenly seems to be very easy to press, with no feedback when the Axon 7 is in my case (Spigen Rugged Armor). It feels like the button is light pressed in the case, so i just need to touch the power button on the case and the display gets on. Theres no "click" or a deep press anymore. Without the case everything seems to be normal. It happend today, i don´t know how or when, but suddenly when i grabbed the phone something felt wrong, and it was the power button.
Can someone share this experience?
I have the same case. Button (power + vol) feels the same between the 3 buttons. Of course it's going to feel different than without a case, but that's to be expected. There is definite resistance when pushing any button and a solid click when it's depressed.
Perhaps your case is defective? Exchange for another one.
