X10 Volume down button stopped working (after update.... possibly) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, been in work today . walking to work listning to my music on my x10 with headphones, everythings working fine.. as far as i could tell..
got home from work (didnt listen to music on my phone on the way home) updated my firmware via SEUS and now my volume down button doesnt seem to be responding.
The button looks fine itsself , I did the secret menu trick and tested the button on here, but it still doesnt respond which makes me think its a hardware problem (which i find hard to beleive)...
Does this mean its defiantly a hardware issue since it still doesnt pick up last key used when pressing volume down button on the secret menu .. test ..

Just plugged in my USB cable .. volume button down is now working. When i unplug it , it stops working .. Weird!!

volume down button problem
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. The volume down button is not working (most of the time). Unfortunatelly, when I went to the service with it, it worked...
Then I read your post and tried the USB cable trick, and it behaved as you wrote: when I plug it in, the button operates, then I unplug and become faulty again.
Please tell me if you found a solution meanwhile. I have Android 2.1, but I don't think that the upgrade killed it. (I bought it with 1.6)
Thanks, blanketta

I have the same problem - have booked it in under warranty as the man on the phone said software problems are covered.
BUT what if it starts working when they look at it...

Have any of u having problems tried seus again, or flashtool since the problem started? I would give that a shot. Try one or both method again.

i've the same problem, im using CM6 and it works very good, except for this problem with the volume down.
when i enter into xrecovery, it doesnt work either, only volume up... so i guess its hardware problem
the usb trick doesnt work either
help please!

Try repairing the phone in SEUS and give a try again...I am sure it'll work

today in the morning, it works, no problems.
but now its not working again...
i'll do a repair by seus... and see if works

Hi,
did anyone fixed or risolved this problem?
Bye.

did anyone ever solve this issue...this is occurring to my x10

I've got the same problem -.- .....but no solution either

Same bizarre problem here. Volume down working when USB cable plugged, not working otherwise.

i had same problem but resolved it by holding volume down for about 5 seconds and it started responding again.

I'm afraid its got nothing to do with the software and such. I was able to sort out mine by opening the phone and putting a 3x fold sheet of thick paper on top of the micro usb port then closing it. Its more or less design problem of the phone. =/

HD2 end call key not working!

Hi guys , had a weird problem with my end call/power button.
Out of no where my end call button stopped working. I've found its most annoying because i usually press it to turn the screen off ( lock the screen)
The button doesnt appear to be broken or anything and doesnt work when i press hard
I did a software factory reset this morning via the phone and the button started working again! but its gone 3 hours later again!
I havent recently installed anything and it appeared out of the blue... any help??!
Same problem here! Nothing helped, hard reset, another custom rom, back to stock rom and radio...nothing. Hardware failure, I suspect. Sending it back to factory under warranty. Never had a hardware problem before in 12 yrs using mobile phones.
kinda fixed it now, dont know how though, did a hard rest and formatted mem card, removed everything and didnt reinstall half the stuff i used to have inc all the cabs from here.
its working now on the new rom just fine, but its the first time its happened to me too, and i didnt even do anything !
try a hard reset and wipe and reinstall youre old cabs at ure own risk!

[Q] Unresponsive buttons

Hello.
I have WB v6.0 2.3.3 ROM, stock kernel.
My three hardware buttons on the bottom of the device have stopped working. Volume, camera, power buttons still work fine.
- Can't use xRecovery, as SELECT button doesn't work.
- Can't use SEUS or flashtool, as it doesn't register me pressing BACK.
- Can't send for repair, as it's rooted obviously.
Was thinking of using the in-built 'reset factory settings' etc option. No idea if this even works.
Any ideas? Halp plz.
do the still feel proper when pressing them? maybe something moved in there, try disassembling it and assemble it back,
this guy has nice disassembly walkthroughs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypmgeoaDURQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhUa7R2KOTc
good luck
Yah, buttons feel the same as always. I had a look at video, but I'm not sure if there's a connector or something for the buttons.
If need be, I'll just send it back under warranty. But would be good to get back to stock haha.
Yeah, (if you decide to) when you disassemble it, try to get them out and put them back in, maybe it will work, sometimes disassembeling just magically resolves the issue.
If not send it back under warranty although idk how will that work since it's rooted and all,
I hope someone else has a way to solve it,
good luck
(maybe a thx if it works )

Cheers for replies. I don't really want to take it apart, but it's on the list..
Trying ADB commands now. Newbie to it, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, would be good.

[Q] Home button sometimes working, sometimes don't.

Hi everyone.
I got some trouble with my Samsung Galaxy S II.
The home button (the physical one just under the screen) sometimes work and sometimes doesn't want to work anymore.
I'm trying to understand why it works or doesn't.
I'm going to try to reset the firmware and put the original kernel back.
If someone got some advices,
Thanks.
Update : Still doing the trick, Back to original fw and kernel changed nothing.
How can a that expensive phone have a button that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't ?
It is an hardware problem i guess ...
Noone faced the same problem ?

Acer Liquid MT (S120) - bricked?

Hello,
About two months ago I factory resetted and fully recharged my Acer Liquid MT.
Didn't use it for quite a while, but recently I wanted to but apparently the battery was empty meanwhile.
Charged it for hours but it didn't go on anymore (tried most basic stuff: changing battery, reset button etc)
Didn't show 'any sign of life' however. No screen, no sound, nothing at all.
Yesterday I did hold the Power Button and both Volume Buttons for a few seconds and it quickly vibrated a few times + one (normal) vibrate afterwards.
I think it isn't completely bricked since it did vibrate.
However, how am I going to be able to get this thing working again?
Many thanks in advance!
PS: Rooted, no custom ROM.
Edit
Forgot to mention, but my PC doesn't detect the phone anymore when connected to USB ...
i'm sorry...
it sounds your phone is bricked... i don't know how u could fix it

There is a liquid metal forum on modaco.com, maybe you should look there. If it was working before, maybe it fell down once or got some hardware fault? 3 vibrations were SD download mode AFAIK

No help from there really ...
Well it didn't fell down, it was fully charged & working, until I tried it later on
Ok, keep device manager opened, connect phone and power on with all the key combo's mentioned here and tell me what happens in device manager: what device is popping up etc.

Thanks for your interest in my problem.
The phone doesn't respond to any of the commands anymore.
Also, what do you mean with 'device manager' exactly?

It needs good charging as the battery has drained completely and will take time , may be couple of days. If it doesn't fix the problem then take it to a mobile shop and ask them to power charge it. It will fix the problem. I had the same issue with this phone...
I hope it helps...

Or just hit the Windows Key (next to Alt by the Spacebar) + the letter R together then type : devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
When the Device Manager is open and you plug in the device, you should see it blink out for a sec and reload and show you the device - probably will see a yellow warning symbol next to it - if so that means the PC sees it, just not loading the correct driver.

[Q] Back, Home and Recent Apps buttons doesn't work anymore, why?

Hi,
So my phone worked good till i opened a small game (Coin Dozer)
The application randomly stopped and from that moment i cant use the Home, Back and Recent App buttons.
Is this a software or a hardware problem? I'm going to the shop tomorrow of they can see it.
I could do a hard reset but i dont know of it will work 'cause i restarted the phone 10 times and the buttons still doesn't work.
Till it is fixed i'm using My Home Button from Google Play.
Anyone has the same problem or a solution?
Thx
(srry for bad english)
If you already restarted your phone, I doubt this is a software problem. May be something to do with the digitizer?
Could be, i'm going to the shop at 14.30
Or is there anything so I could to fix it now?
