my first post so i cant post in the development section. some of you are experiencing a volume issue. If its with the external speakers i had the problem once also. i plugged in my earbuds and unplugged them, then the external speakers started working again. alot faster than rebooting.

I thought about this as well and tried it many times earlier. No luck.

Had this issue once after using the earphone, fixed by repeatedly playing with the 3 sound level slider. I started working after bringing it back to zero a few time...

Hi,
The display and sound of my Nexus 5 was not working for a whole day.
When I pressed the power button to unlock my device, the display was not coming up. Normal trouble shooting is to remove the battery and switch on, but that will not work since it is embedded.
I have tried calling to my phone to check whether it is switched off. Surprisingly, it was ringing from the calling end but there was no display or sound on my phone.
I have connected to the charger and the battery icon was not coming (may be because of display issue).
Next morning when I called to my phone it was saying as switched off and when I tried to charge again, the battery icon came and it started charging from 0%. It was charged completely on the previous day (I used to get up to 2 days on battery) and now it is completely drained.
Not sure what happened on that day. Any one faced an issue like this before? I am not sure whether it is because of any hardware issue.
When I contacted Google, they started giving troubleshooting tips. But I am not sure how to find the root cause of this.
Please help.
Try a different charger and cable. Sounds like it was dead and not charging.
Or worse case would be a defect in the phones mini USB port.

--------------------
To make it more clear, the issue was happened only for a day and when i tried to call to the mobile, it was ringing in the calling end.
In that case i don't think it was an issue with the charger or port.
So all is fine now? Then I wouldn't worry about it. Stuff happens occasionally. ?

Do you meant, screen display and sound of the device will not work occassionally?

I just mean if it was a one time thing, I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to happen more. ?
The power and volume buttons seem to be fine mechanically. They register in fastboot, and they register when I do long-press power button to do a hard reboot. However, this is the only place they work after a random time yesterday. Recovery does not show volume or power as registered "keys" when I perform a key test in CWM. Neither do they work in Android. I've tried flashing different versions of Android, 4.4, 5.0 stock and custom ROMs, all don't work. Flashing a custom kernel does not work. Formatting, erasing, and flashing directly from fastboot has not fixed the problem. I was not doing anything in particular that would stand out as a culprit. Before I try an RMA, what final things can I try?
@duox7142 have you solved this without RMA-ing?

Should've gotten back earlier. The problem fixed itself after some period of time. I think slamming around on the buttons fixed it? That's all I can imagine. A bizarre problem indeed.

Thanks, but I RMA-ed the device

Do you have any idea of how long it took before the problem sorted itself out? I'm having the same issue (buttons work fine in fastboot but not in the OS or recovery). Doing some searching, it seems like you and another person had this problem, and in both cases it resolved itself over time.
EDIT: Fixed the problem. For anyone who ends up in this position in the future, drain your battery completely. When you can no longer boot into Android, there will still be a bit of battery life left. Boot in recovery at this point and leave it on until the last bit of battery depletes and you can no longer turn the phone on at all. Put it on the charger and charge it to 100% before turning it on. This is what fixed it for me, YMMV.
Hear me out. I now this has been brought up in various forums, and trust me I have searched them all. I just have not seen anyone speak of the exact scenarios I have experienced. At least not together.
So I have 2 Nexus 5's, a 16GB and a 32GB. My 16GB has no issues at all with the random shutdown\reboot running L up to 5.1. My 32GB however exhibited issues immediately after upgrading to the 5.0.1. During the initial update it barfed and went in to a boot loop, even in Fastboot. I eventually got it back up and running and rolled all the way back to 4.4.4 and then stepped up to each new version up to 5.0.1 then 5.1 once it was official. Still experiencing the shutdowns and reboots under certain circumstances.
I have noticed 3 things that appear to cause the issue:
1st Wi-Fi - With Wi-Fi On it happens repeatedly when entering or leaving a new wireless network. With Wi-Fi Off I can go days without issue.
2nd 3.5mm Audio Cables - Jump in my car, fire it up, plug in to my stereo and poof, it reboots. Possible its just cheap audio cables??
3rd Car Chargers - I have only seen it with car chargers, but if I have it plugged in during a drive it will randomly reboot or power off. If I have it plugged in with the car off, as soon as I turn it (the car) on my phone reboots\shuts off.
Appears to be some impedance change on specific types of load or something. I am no electrical engineer so I could be way off. One thing I have noticed that I know others have as well, is that when a reboot\shutdown happens the battery drains like crazy. But I have also noticed that if it is plugged in to a power source between two back to back episodes that it charges super fast while it is down. I'm talking 25-30% increase in a matter or 2-3 mins.
So with Wi-Fi off, and good headphones plugged in I can go all day listening to music and it works like a charm. Bluetooth does not seem to be an issue, as I have my Moto 360 paired all day too. Running with Wi-Fi off, not plugging in to my car for audio or power I have not had a reboot\shutdown for 3 straight days.
I have seen some say its software, some hardware. Some say factory wipe, clear cache, etc. Send it in and get a new one (this one is out of warranty). Or download official and start from scratch. I've done these, and still it persists. Tried other ROMs as well. Have not gone down the route of different Kernels. Given that Wi-Fi is on one board, power on another I would assume its not hardware. Then again since I have flashed, and reflashed between official and custom ROM's I would say it is. At a loss. Willing to try anything, I really like this phone.
This might be a cracy solution.
As I experienced the same random reboots on 5.1, I worked myself through the usual process: hardreset, reflashing the rom and so on. Even called google for RMA, which got green light as they couldnt find the issue either.
Turned out my new case pressed too hard on the on/off-button, shame on me. Figured it out in time fortunatelly.
If theres no solution for you , send it in directly to LG. They repair it and hopefully the price wont be too high. Good luck!

I use a CruzerLite case, does not cover the power button, and I have had the case on my 16GB as well, so I "believe" this would not be the issue. Then again I might as well try to run it outside the case for a while just to see what happens.
I might have to go down the LG route, really hoping not to though as I have heard the cost is pretty high. Would rather then just save the money for a new device.

I have not yet gone down this route. I did read this one, but didn't see it applying directly to my issue. Then again, what could it hurt.

My point exactly.
So I will keep it short ,
I got earbuds that are like airpods and they worked fine until they didn't, I used to use a Lumia 645.
I got a OnePlus 3T and they started acting up, the left side has a lower volume than the right.
I tried emptying the Bluetooth cache on my phone and it worked, then I disconnected and reconnected and now it doesn't work.
Sometimes at random intervals, it will go back to normal volume and slowly go back down.
I quickly tried using another device but it didn't want to connect to the buds
Thank you in advance for your help and please ask for more detail if I missed anything.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately there is very little information on your earbuds on xda, the only thing I can find is this review

Hi: I searched the forum but haven't found this issue discussed. Today my phone went completely dead. I had it with me off the charger for several hours while out for a Sunday drive. It was odd as it disconnected from the car bluetooth - I think that was due to power optimization turning things off. I still had over 90% battery. When I got home, I put the phone on the charger. An hour later, I went to use it and nothing. No screen, just dead. Holding power button did nothing. Yikes!!! I did a Google search and found discussion about this on the OnePlus forum. Apparently holding the Power button + Volume Up recovers the phone, and it worked for me. I am completely stock, no root, no bootloader unlock, latest version 9.5.9.GM21AA.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your phone but it is something which is not new. It has happened to me twice in a span of three weeks and has happened to other people as well. Unfortunately no one knows the root cause of this particular problem but I am sure soon it will be identified and hopefully cured. I am rooted with twrp and running a custom rom and a few magisk modules. Sorry can't be of any more help, cheers.

There's a few threads about this had happened to quite a few people. Here's one of them.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/op7pro-off-wont-hold-power-volume-t3945515
I met the problem several time, VOLUME UP + POWER Button works. But it is really annoying.
I have this problem with 9.5.8 & Smurf kernel. But after disable mq io sched, everything is fine. I thought Oneplus fixed this issue. Hmm, they didn't.
