Anyone ever have issue with one of the volume buttons stop working? My down key doesn't decrease volume anymore but up key still works. When I go into recover with holding both volume up and down that still works. I can't find a solution. Anyone?
Mine still works as Vol Down, but the springiness of it is gone. In other words it doesn't feel like there is a detent for volume down, no feedback, I don't know if it is being pressed without seeing the screen. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I'm concerned with the build quality of this phone. I've only had it for 6 months, and the Vol Down has that issue, and the camera lense cover is cracked. What is next? How will I make it to 12/22/11 when I am eligible for another upgrade?

Yesterday I unlocked following olimpro steps.
But since I did that my up volume button is not working fine.
It keeps pressed all the way up. Pressing the down volume button it makes the volume down but a lil bit later it will be pressed up (with the annoying sound that makes when you press up or down)
I think is more a software issue rather than a hardware cause I press both volume buttons and they feel O.K.
I want to know if one of you guys experienced this issue before. And is kinda funny cause it was working fine until I ran the olimpro unlocker. I'm not telling was his excellent solution but maybe some registry keys were affected.
Just received my tf today, everything was working great so far but then I noticed that the volume down button doesn't do anything although the volume up button and power/lock button are clearly functional. Any idea if its a hardware/software issue? What should I do?

My tf's volume up and down works but my power button doesn't, I can't turn if off. To turn the screen on I have to plug my charger in or eject my micro sd.
Posting my issue because it sounds like we are having similar problems.

received mine today aswell and my volume rocker doesnt work. All it does is make the volume slider show up on the screen but doesnt lower the volume. Other than that love it
I'm having the same problem with my volume up button. Aside from that, I'm loving it.
Those with volume issues hold the power button and shut the tablet totally off, should be fixed after restart.

It is a known bug and when I rebooted the TF, everything back to normal. Try it.
The other day my infuse's power button started dying, apparently i have bad luck with samsung buttons as my captivate's power button broke on me too. It started out just randomly lighting up as if it were touched, then moved on to rebooting, and now it just continuously plays the samsung logo over and over again, even when trying to go into recovery mode. Even with the plastic phone shell off, the problem persisted, so the plastic power button itself i know is not the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any possible way to render the power button useless, and remap one of the volume keys or something as the power key instead.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I really don't want to have to pay samsung to repair it.
There's an app called button remapper or something along those lines. But I believe it will kill any other function that the volume button does, like volume control. If you don't use it for that purpose, then try it out.

Hi All,
I have a strange problem with my volume keys - tried searching but couldn't pin down an answer so hoping someone may be able to help.
On 5 different custom roms now, and in recovery whenever I press the UP volume key (either via the rocker or with the case off), it immediately goes down again. I've even checked the key press function in recovery and it shows (i think) 115 then 114 immediately after pressing the UP button.
I thought it was a hardware issue, but when i get to the screen from which i can boot into recovery (sorry, can't remember the name) the volume up key works exactly as it should!
I've tried superwipe - installing a 3.0 ROM with standard kernel but nothing seems to work.
I thought i'd ask the question before i try to flash a RUU.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
How is your sound working ?
is the Volume always on 0, then it sounds like a stuck volume down key.
otherwise try the touch recovery (4ext)
Volume is working fine - and can be adjusted through settings, just not using the volume rocker.
For example, during a call if it sounds low I'll press the volume up key and if i keep it pressed the sound goes down. Same for media volume when playing games.
I can adjust the sound any other way and it stays at the level it should be at.
Could flashing a different recovery make a difference?
Seems like a hardware fault, you could always try some isopropyl on it (without battery in of course) and see if that helps, if not take it back to where you bought it and show them.

I thought that at first, but when booting into the 'Power Button and Volume Down' screen from which you can boot into recovery etc... the up and down volume keys work fine.
I would assume that means the hardware is fine?
No that just means that the Bootloader reacts differently to the stuck key than everything else.
RMA your hardware, you have a stuck key.
I have a weird problem where the power and volume buttons don't work when the screen is locked. I know it is not a hardware issue because I had this problem for a couple days, then the power button started working again perfect the next day and now its back to not working. When the screen is unlocked, the volume keys work perfect and controls volume as it normally would. I downloaded some apps to enable the volume keys to work as an unlock button, but they fail to work.
As a last resort, I was going to flash a new rom to see if it would help, however when I boot into recovery mode, the volume keys don't work and i cant move up and down through the options. In addition, I've noticed that when I do a battery pull and put the battery back in, the phone automatically boots up as if the power button was held down.

Your power button is failing. It is a hardware issue. Send it for repair.

Do you have an idea of why the volume buttons aren't working though as an unlock button with apps tho? I also question whether it is a hardware problem because this has happened in the past before and then suddenly the power button works again perfect for months. It is just very annoying for me to sit here and hope for it to start working again.

It's a known issue that when the power button stay stuck the other buttons don't work. It sucks, but that's what it is. Nexus S always had this power button problem and usually you can send it to samsung to get it fixed. Some people have tried to fix it themselves without too much luck...
