So my friend got an A20 and has a random problem with it. Whenever he locks his phone he can't unlock it and the screen says black. The phone still works but it just won't respond to any of the button inputs (even plugging in power won't help). The only way he can get the phone back is by holding the Power and Volume keys down for about 10 seconds. The volume keys don't work in android but do in recovery?
Has anyone got the same issue as me? Could this be some kind of weird software bug or is it perhaps hardware related?

No, a common issue with the S9 was slowdown with a memory card in.
I have the same issue you do, but figured it was my card.

Hi All
My power button on my phone is stuck down, It not longer sticks out. I can still get it to work if i push it down with the stylus.
I stuck a pin down each side of the button to ensure the button was not wedged under any part of the case but this has not resolved the issue.
Im not sure what to do and it is starting to become annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did they fix it?
Thanks
Fixed
My button is fixed. No idea how. I just pulled it out of my pocket and went to press the button and it was back to its old self again.
So if anyone has a broken button in the future, just give it a day or two and it will probably fix itself
Thanks All

You are exactly lucky.....the power button on my device has not been working for more than half of a year and I have to use a programs to soft rest or hard rest my device. The only problem is that I can't flash the rom without the power button if I'd like to.....
Basically, it is as if the top volume button is held down, and the volume is continuously going up on my HD, even when I try to turn it down, it shoots back up again, and is stuck on the volume screen. Sometimes, if I turn it down to silent, it will stay silent for a few seconds, then the volume goes up again and keeps going up.
Really annoying as it means the phone is basically unusable as I'm pretty much always trapped in the volume screen!
Any ideas?
I would suppose that a button is stuck!
Take of the back cover and take a good look at the buttons to see if anything could be wrong!

That's what I thought, but it looks fine to me
I had the same problem as you but I then realize that when I was putting down the volume while in a conversation was my face pressing the screen and increasing again the volume...could it be your same problem?

Nope, because it happens if I don't touch the phone and just leave it on the table
Have you tried a hard reset?
Do a backup first.
Turn off the phone. If you can't pull the battery out.
Hold the volume up + down at the same time then press the power on button for about 1 second. Let go of the power button while keeping the volume up and down still pressed down.
You should see a blue / green / red screen then just follow the instructions on screen.
If this doesn't solve your problem then most likely something is keeping your volume up button depressed internally. Take it back for repair...
The volume slider malfunctioning is a big one on HTC devices known issues. I've had the same problem with my elf....and I've seen plenty that do too. Your best bet would be to take it to an authorized service rep. Sucks I know
Try to remove the cover and use it... the pressing mechanism is on the cover...

Tried that, still the same problem.
I'm going to try a hard reset today, if I still get the problem, going to ask Orange to replace it. I wonder if they'll let me pick another phone, I'm getting a bit fed up with the HD!
I have the same problem, it occurs randomly and I discovered that if I quickly press the power button to stand by the phone and press it again to exit from stand by, the volume bug disappears and phone starts working well again. I thought it was a software bug but I still have it on 1.19. It rarely happens now on 1.13 was more frequent.
Since some time my volume buttons aren't working as they should. When I press the volume up button it goes up a bit but then straight down again, as if its pressing both up and down at the same time.
Most of the time it does this, sometimes it works properly but almost never. Same goes for the volume down button.
I was thinking it was probably my volume/power connector, so I ordered a brand new, original lg g2 d802 connector and I just now replaced it, but I'm still having the same problem! I've also installed several new roms/kernels since this problem has been happening so I don't think its software related.
This is very annoying when I have a bootloop and I have to enter recovery, because it basically wont recognize I'm pressing volume down.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
Anyone?
Still having the same problem, flashed factory image, so it cant be software right? and also replaced the whole volume buttons board, so how can it be hardware? Really confusing. If anyone has any insight, or anything else i could try, it would be greatly appreciated!
My power button gets stuck and as you know when you long press it it reboots the phone. So basically my phone is just constantly rebooting and rebooting, its practically unusable. I need help if anyone knows a way to disable the function of power button, I mean so the power button wont do any function anymore, or swap it with another button.
I had the same problem. Got the button replaced, it worked for a month or so and I started getting the random reboots again. A search on the internet reveals that this is a common problem with the S3, and I doubt they fixed the issue for the S3 neo.
1.5 years of use and my power button is broken, my volume buttons are mushy and my camera doesn't focus at all. The build quality on this phone is a joke.
You'll probably have to have your power key replaced as well. Or do what I did and remove it from the motherboard. You won't believe how flimsy the solder is. I now use the accessibility shortcut button to lock / unlock my phone. It's a hassle and it takes up screen real estate, but at least it works.

Mine stopped doing it now but I'm sure it will start again. You are right, build quality of this phone is really lame. That part on the sides that looks like metal is mostly worned off from my phone. Camera focus is crap and volume is lower than before, I can barely hear notifications. Maybe I'll remove the button too, but I'm concerned about how to boot the phone if it turns off.
You can turn on the phone by connecting the charger, immediately booting into download mode (before the battery icon comes up) and restarting from there. It's not the best solution, but at least I have a functional phone until my oneplus x arrives sometime this week
try to do this

That's actually a fantastic idea. I thought about flashing cm that has no offline charging and booting that way, but this is better solution lol.

You can try nova launcher since it has a gesture for double tap to lock screen, or maybe a 3rd party app.
use soft lock to lock screen without pressing power button
Hello. I have installed the albe95 lillirom v9 rom on my phone and the next day the phone turned off and i cant turn it on. When i remove the battery and insert it, it turns on and after 2 seconds it goes off. I cant access neither download mode or recovery. Can anyone help me? Thx
Sounds like a power button problem.

If it was a power button problem it shouldnt be rebooting again and again? My phone works for 2 seconds and then its dead

Your phone should not turn on by itself after inserting the battery.
So it's definitely something related to the power button.
