I'm struggling with my volume button. At first I thought they just broke since they don't work when I press them. However, when I restart my phone, they work for some time and stop working for no apparent reason.
I figured I should maybe change my ROM to see if that makes a difference. Any recommendations?

Reaching to the XDA family to help me troubleshoot strange issues with my 10.1 WiFi Tab. Starting a couple of months back the tablet hold not come on once i was pressing the power button and I had to hard reboot to getting back on.
I assumed that it's the power management and I turned it off, but the problem persisted. The I could see that it started to hang at the Samsung animation screen with the sound blocking like a bad CD.
I've run a hard reset cleared cache but the problem still present. It's running stock 4.0.4, was never rooted or custom ROM on it since new.
I don't really know what to do next and I'm looking for pointers.
Thanks for any help.

If u have cleared ur sdcard ( wiped it clean ) and are still having these issues...it could be power button related...
I would look and make sure the power button is not sticking...then after that. Make sure you don't have anything corrupted on you're sdcard.
If none of this works....I would root and flash a newer tw based ROM..
Let me know if u need help..
Thanks for your response Gil81. When I performed the factory reset or wiped the scard clean. The button it's not sticky and it function properly.
I'm thinking it might be battery related but not sure.
Any good rom's that you recommend?

I have been on Beans 22 (as well as previous revisions) for quite some time without issue with disabling the home button using the standard gpio-keys.kl edit; completely removing "HOME" & "WAKE" as well as removing "HOME" and changing "WAKE" to "WAKE_DROPPED". I tried this first on Sophisticated v1.5 and found that with this file edited, my wifi would not start. v2.0 came out today so I figured I would do a clean install and try it again. With nothing else on the phone, my wifi works great until I edit this file. Once the file is edited and the phone rebooted, the wifi fails to start. It will show the icon as dimmed and just stick there. If trying to do it through settings, you can move it to 'ON' and it will go right back to 'OFF'.
Could someone else that is using this ROM confirm this or possibly shed some light on what might be going on?
I have been rooting and ROM'ing my phones since my old DroidX and have never had a reason to post before because I have always found help through searching. I have yet to find this specific problem though and do realize that it would be more appropriate to post in the developer thread, but since this is my first post on this forums, I cannot.
Thanks in advance!
Well... I did another fresh install, wiping everything except the external card before installing and wiping cache/davlik a few times after. This time, removing "HOME" & "WAKE" causes the same symptoms, but removing just "HOME" and changing "WAKE" to "WAKE_DROPPED" allows for normal operation. I am still not sure why this change would have anything to do with the WiFi, but it seems to be working properly now.
Updated to SR_KK_v1...
Having been on several different 4.3 based roms for quite a while, the information posted in the post immediately proceeding this worked great.
Last night I created a full backup and flashed SR KitKat v1. I have tried all of the combinations listed above and in other threads on the subject with zero impact on the operation of the home button. The changes had no affect on anything else for that matter (previously I had experienced wifi problems after modification).
I really need the home button disabled as I carry the phone in my pocket and with the home button able to wake the phone, it will do all sorts of weird things in my pocket.
This thread has been just me talking to myself so far, but I would greatly appreciate any help that the kind members of this forum can lend!
I work outside in the heat/humidity/dirt/mud and the safest location for my phone is in my pocket. Without the home wake disabled, the phone will unlock and things will happen. It has been a problem in the past for me. If it isn't for you, good, I'm glad, but stating so does not change my current situation.
Hi everyone...
Some days ago, i was trying, OmniROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544790). I follow all the steps and even get the superSU app going. One night, y saw how my nightly got updated, and in the morning, start to reboot randomly. If I push the power botton sometimes, doesn´t appear the blockscreen but the screen with the reboot option and turn off appear...
I put my cellphone back to stock with root using SuperOneClick from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081. Then, I format my sd card and internal storage...The problem persist...
I would like that someone help me, I'm tryin everything and didn't solve it...
Based on your description, it sounds like a hardware issue -more specifically, a failing power button.
I have read that some users were able to fix the issue by disassembling the phone and spraying out the switch with contact cleaner, and I have read that others had the power switch replaced altogether.
Hopefully others will chime-in with their thoughts.

I had to replace my power button. this is a known issue with the s2.
I recommend this guy's services: http://stores.ebay.com/t989-refurb -- he can do the i777 even though it's not listed. He's a very nice guy and will do a fine job.
here's his video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0xMMn1DRWs

You didn't give us much to info to work with, but if it just quit working without a change in setup I would think it is hardware malfunction.
I know you've probably tried already....
I had this happen with a nexus device last year. Once rebooted, it went away.
On another device, I had an software conflict (with one of those plug-in-the-headset, do something apps). It also cause one of the volume buttons to quit. Removed the app, button worked.
Sorry if this doesn't help.
I have a Lenovo z2 plus whose bootloader I recently unlocked, installed twrp, installed viper os (android - 7.1.2) and rooted it. whenever I try to use my phone (since the last evening) , the touch works for about 2 seconds and then stops working(every time) . I was thinking it might be a software/rom issue but when I close the Screen and before opening I keep my thumb at the portion near the front camera/speaker part pressed and then open the phone, then the touch works fine till I remove my thumb from there. When I remove my thumb, then again the touch stops working. Then to make the touch work for more than 2 sec again , I need to shut the screen off and do the thumb thing again. Due to this I'm thinking this might be a hardware issue but it were a hardware issue, then why does the touch stop working exactly about after 2 seconds without the thumb thing and touch starts working every time I open the screen with the thumb thing again till the time I remove it . And due to that timing thing it seems like it might be a software issue. All the other buttons are working perfectly. I really don't want the factory reset the phone till it's really necessary due to all the data and stuff. Can anyone please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
Thanks,
Manan
Are you able to fix now?

HI Manan,
Are you able to fix permanently? I tried to hold between speaker and front camera but not seeing that touch is working. Can you please share some pic pointing where exactly to touch? Also are you pressing hard or lightly? Please share how to do that?
Also later are you able to resolve the issue? Did you change digitizer etc. Did it worked normally? Please let me know.
Regards
Anil
Workaround
I tried one workaround indicated by someone else on another thread. Follow below steps
Press power button to put screen off
Hold phone in left hand and put left thumb on screen
Press power button to start screen
Touch with right hand fingers
It will work till left thumb is there on screen..
If touch is lost follow from step one
Atleast this helps alot instead of only 2-3secs stuff..
Thanks to one who indicated this workaround

As said in above post, please follow workaround if you are getting issue still.
For my case after couple of days, it started working normally. Sometimes that issue comes again, but i use workaround to use the phone.
I have the same issue! Please provide where you found this solution and workaround. Did you have to change screen?
