The power and volume buttons only work when I hard press them. It was fine when I purchased the phone 4 months back. But from the last one month, the problem started with volume down button and has transferred to all the other two buttons. The buttons work now when pressed hard , but I am afraid that they longer may not work.
Is there a solution, or will I have to take it to the see service center?
P.S. They don't have a service center in my area and I will have to travel 4-5 hrs to get there!!

I faced the same problem. I tried installing stock ROM again of the other security patches, but still not fixed.
So, finally I reached service center they had changed the volume key button strip. Now, it is working as new. :good:

I am having the same problem. Sadly phone is out of warranty now. Can you tell me did they change the flex cable or the physical button? Thanks a lot.

It's available in $3 on Dragon- tt. You can buy it cheaper from Aliexpress but most of them are non-originals.

Today I noticed that the Volume button is loose. Is this normal?
My Touch HD's Volume button is firmly in place.
How loose? Might has a little give in it but i wouldnt call it loose.
It's quite loose, I can move it with slightest touch .
My volume up button didn't work out of the box. There are a couple of threads about the problem but no solution that I saw other than take it back for a replacement which is what I did this week.

Thanks for your input. Anyway my volume button works fine, but it's just loose. I'm not sure I can get a replacement for this reason.
there is supposed to be a little "play" in all of the buttons. Its the same with PSP, DS and other portable gadgets. With a little give they won't break as quickly if they get snagged on clothing for example because they are not rigid and consequently have a little bit of "give". Hope that makes sense!
My first one had a solid volume button, the button on my replacement is very loose. Whether they will all get looser over time is another question...
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

Im the same, except now my volume up doesnt work either

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
André
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)
My motorola defy side button and power button is not working ,i asked in motorola service center the guys tell it hard to get tat spare parts .i search e bay and other online site ,please guys help me to get tat defy spare parts buttons
Are you missing those buttons or are they just not working? 'cause if they are not working, you need to replace the motherboard, in order to get working buttons. Don't think it's worth it - better buy a new phone.

My Defy's volume up button stopped working some time ago. It was quite annoying as I used the volume buttons to unlock the phone. Some time later, I pressed the button really hard, and to my surprise is started working again. And like that I had my button back

It has nothing to do with the motherboard. There are soft silicon membranes in the cover for water resistance. These are wearing out after some time - always!
They can be replaced or you can make new ones by yourself. I did successfully.
After flooding mainly top of the phone, and cleaned in alcohol. Power button does not work Is it possible to exchange the key? Unauthorized GSM service can handle this?
on my motorola defy the power buttong being used so many times has gone very low and is very difficult to on and off...any solution ?

Hello, The Volume Down button on HD2 doesn't work at all. It seems stuck but I don't know exactly what is the diagnoses. All I know is that it worked perfectly when I bought it and after a while it started to work on hard press and then barely worked and now it doesn't work at all. Also the green phone button, windows/menu, red phone button don't click anymore. They work but they don't click. It's not a huge deal but if it can be fixed why not. I was wondering if anybody here has problems similar to this and has repaired their devices I was wondering how much it would cost.

Volume = digitiser = ~£15
Buttons = ~£5
Glue/Tape = ~£5
so £25 ($40) would cover the parts cost
Hello Friends
Ive got an issue and couldnt find a solution .. My S5 is stuck in Safe Mode.
I already tried to Flash a new Rom, wipe evereything and tried to get out of it. None of it worked and Im not sure what to do..
I read something about a button..? and something else causing the device to boot up in Safe Mode but Im not sure ..
It all happened after I replaced the camera of my S5 because the original one was shattered .. Hope anyone can help ..

Hi,
Maybe you broke something while replace the camera. Does you "volume down" button work?
By the way, I found one thing on other forums which worked for some people:
"turn power off. Then push power button and volume 'up' button at the same time, until the phone starts up again"
Did you try this already?

Unfortunately it looks like hardware problem. Did you replace the camera by your own? Maybe you broke something by accident ....

Power off the phone and then power it ON by pressing Power button while holding Home button.
If you get into the download mode it will mean Vol- button problem.
It can be solved by replacing middle flame. Will cost you $12-15 if you do it yourself. You know what to do if you've replaced the camera.

The middle flame means the recent-apps and back button part?

No, it's virtually all grey and silver plastic you see.
Middle frame (example).
P.S. Samsung calls this part "rear case", but it's sold on ebay as "middle frame" or "back housing" or "bezel" (use these words for search).

Thank you very much again.
But does this means something there is broken or anything like that ? I am sure I didnt broke anything there.
The buttons themselves are inside this plastic.
I don't think you've broken something but nohing is eternal.
Look, for Vol+ and Vol- buttons to work, three "golden" connectors on main logic board (photo 1) should connect three lower connectors on bezel flex cable (photo 2) and three upper connectors on bezel flex cable should connect three connectors on middle frame (photo 3).
If you've replaced the camera then you know how to disassemble the phone and can check yourself what is out of order in this part of the device.
