Hello,
I bought myself a brand new Fire HD 10 from Amazon, installed the Google play services and used Launcher Hijack V3 to run Nova Launcher as default launcher, which works fine so far. However, after a few hours (or days) of operation, the hardware volume buttons on the fire hd 10 stop working: they do nothing, neither does the volume popup appear, nor do the buttons actually change the volume when audio is played back. When I restart the device, the volume buttons work again, and then after some hours the effect reappears.
Any idea what might cause this strange behaviour, and how to fix it?

That is weird, its possible a service/something crashes or gets closed for the hardware buttons. I personally use the Fire Toolbox currently version 9.2 to take care of everything. So far it has worked fine for me

Well a few days ago I went on a barrage and installed a bunch of apps like Gyrator 2, SensorLock, LevelSight, HTC Home, Ultimate Launch, HomeScreen ++.
I also coincidentally noticed two problems now First is when the device is on and I press the power, it doesn't turn the device off! Second is the HD is supposed to be able to detect the status of the stylus so when you pull it out in a call it opens the notes application. I also checked with Gyrator 2 which shows what the system reads for the stylus status and it no longer detects whether the stylus is in or not!
I'm going to try to uninstall each app one by one... but do any of you know whether there might be some other problem?? Or if someone's experienced the same thing, what are some recommendations to remedy this issue?
Each day of using the HD more and more problems keep popping up... I didn't drop $900 on this phone for nothing ><"
Do you also have problems with the volume buttons? If so, then perhaps your keypad service isn't running. You can check this with task manager v3.1

Ahh nifty the volume buttons don't work. Now how to turn this back on... hrmmm... time to poke around.
I had this problem when using MobileMagic for auto rotation using the G-Sensor. Uninstalling this fixed the problem. I now use ChangeScreen and find that this works better for me.
Hope this helps.
cardefbel was right it was the keypad service, I must've turned it off while messing around in the registry, should be more careful next time...
Turned it back on and everything works fine now. Thanks!
Confirm so I know its not just me?
* Bluetooth in general seems to stop responding altogether after awhile. Restart required to get it working. Seems most noticeable when trying to play using a gamepad (NES30 bluetooth gamepad)
* sixaxis pair tool cant seem to configure driver. retries about 3 or 4 times, eventually gives up and restores bluetooth state
* can no longer change default launcher. HALLauncher for instance, does not let me use it as default launcher anymore.
* bluetooth seems to momentarily freeze. Using my nexus remote, sometimes remote stops responding but a usb connected keyboard still works even during this period. remote eventually goes back to normal.
(for the record, I am rooted, though alot of these issues still occured whether rooted or not.)
i cant answer about the sixaxis tool or the default launcher issues but ive been running all weekend with zero bluetooth issues.
honestly zero issues at all but i mostly use it for kodi and youtube.
in general everything is pretty responsive and chromecast mirroring from my gs6 is a lot better.
Can you clear defaults of leanback launcher to hopefully set the default launcher when you press the home key
Hi there ...
I've had my Moto X Style for about 6 weeks now & I totally love it ..
BUT, in the last 2 weeks, with no patterns showing, the screen will go black all of a sudden multiple times a day.?
While using an app, the onscreen buttons are there, haptic works on the buttons, black screen, but I have no more app access.?
I can press & hold the power button & shutdown fine. I even cleared the cache' of all my apps using an app, made no difference.?
I'm running out of idea's.?
Falling short of doing a factory reset, does anyone know how to fix this.?
The phone worked perfect for 4 weeks with ALL my apps installed back then,
so I don't know why it's going funny now.? Getting very annoying now, please help!?
On a specific app, or any app?
That's just it, I don't know, coz its random! - But I do take note, but nothing seems to follow any pattern as such.!?
Sent from my Moto X Style!
I have seen this after the phone has been unlocked by trusted device connection with BT and carkit. After disconnect and then trying to unlock the phone with pattern only the on screen buttons are there and no pattern.
Sometimes I tried twisting the phone so it goes in to camera and then swiping to view already taken images. This should give the lock pattern but I also get the black screen with only the buttons. After some retries I get a crash from Nova launcher (message is something like Nova launcher did not respond) after clicking the ok button the unlock pattern is back and I can unlock the phone. Other times this doesn't work, not within the amount of retry's I did, and I have to reboot the phone
Note: When you use the phone right after disconnect, before it's locked again you can use apps, sometimes only active apps, sometimes even start new ones. But after a while it will lock. Probably because it lost connection with the trusted device. After that same problem, can't unlock it again
I Had the same issue after I installed the Microsoft's AppComparison app (I don't know why I installed that app). But a factory reset solve the problem.
Hi all,
After hooking my phone up to a car stereo, the home and recent key stopped working.
Let me explain:
I just bought a Pioneer avh-x5800dab, with a built in feature that makes it possible to mirror your android device to your head unit. When i unplugged my phone from the head unit, the recent and home button stopped working.
The recent button lights up when i press it, and i can wake and unlock my phone with the home key. Also, both keys works in TWRP. So to me it seems android has unmapped the keys.
Back key works as normal.
I am running KryxOS R1.3
What i have tried so far:
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Uninstalled all apps related to the pioneer head unit.
Dirty flashed the rom.
I would prefer not to clean flash the rom again. Any help and suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
Similar issue
Not sure what causes it but im alao having a similar issue. Home buttong sometimes works on and off but my recent windows key does not register. It recognizes when i tap it but does not work. Also notifications no longer show up at the top.
Having the same issue
Having the same issue with the home and recent buttons, but mine isn't related to the Pioneer software. Notice that I suddenly can't uninstall apps from within the app manager, so I'm wondering if it's related to a security setting. Can't find anything that looks out of place though.

Possible Fix
As I was reviewing some of my settings I got a random notification that I couldn't review a setting because my password had expired. I went into Settings -> Lock Screen and Security and set a new PIN for myself. Home and recent buttons work again and I can delete apps. Weird. Hope it continues to work.

Hi Guys, After a random problem one day that included missing apps on the home screen and controller not functioning at all -- I did the following:
Memory card in card slot removed and re-inserted (32gb set as storage and many apps transferred to it freeing up the first 16gb). Rebooted shield and could now find apps , but controller was still only working via USB lead connected to Shield TV. Previously i had experienced similar problems and this had worked before, along with holding controller buttons for 20+ seconds to reset it.
Next step was:
I fully charged the controller as this had proved to be a problem a few times before when having strange controller issues. THIS WAS WHEN I REALISED the following also;
1) Had to input all account details again for Google account, Nvidia Account, You tube account, Steam account etc.etc..
2) Home button no longer works as the home button and also cannot double click to get the screen showing all open apps. It does make audio clicks as normal AND does show the streaming options/picture saving options when you long press it, (so the button is functioning of sorts.) I have since realised that the back button next to the Nvidia light button now works like the home button but you cannot double click it to show all open apps.
3) When I click on the google icon at the top left of the home screen next to the KB icon for voice searches. It does not work. ( though you tube speech searches work fine) It does accept searches after pressing the Nvidia button though when on the home screen.
4) The developer options in the settings menu were always on previously but, now it says that these options are on but "unavailable for this user" when pressed and are greyed out.
5) on/off sensor button on the top of the shield no longer works. (this is very similar to my wife Shield upstairs but hers is a 2017 model. She uses the remote or controller to turn off via the settings menu.
So......thinking of just resetting the Shield to factory settings and starting again but wanted advice before doing this and perhaps adding to the issues???
It seems to me that given all the different problems this is the only way??? My gut is actually telling me that it's an update that has happened and it has confused the 2017 model with mine???? or am I just seeing GHOSTS???
Any constructive advice would be appreciated.
