Both volume buttons are not working! - T-Mobile LG G2x

Ok so I went and turned on my G2x and I was using it normally. I needed to raise the media volume since I was watching a video on youtube. Nothing happened when I pressed both volume buttons. I tried everything, pressing the buttons harder, I even let the phone open without the back cover to dry, in case it was water causing the problem. Sometimes if I'm lucky, the up button might work if i press it extremely hard. I can't even get into clockworkmod recovery because the volume buttons don't work. I can't put it in download mode either.
Is there any way to fix it myself? BTW I have stock rooted 2.3.4 GB rom. Also my carrier is Wind. Do I have to go into a warranty centre?
Also, I have 2 small marks on my phone's edge when I dropped it once. Will that stop me from getting a replacement?

Ummmm...

Darn... I've been with Wind for 4 months now. If I have to pay for my phone to get repaired, I'd rather not. Pay MORE money for an EOL'd phone, so I can use it again?
Although, I've been with Wind for 4 months now, am I able to pay off the Windtab and get an upgrade?

Thanks, I'll try that. Also, to be sure, you mean to blow at the volume buttons outside in the wind?

Well, the top button works ok. The bottom one doesn't make a good clicking sound and seems to stay almost sideways. It needs to be pressed hard in order to work.

Maybe you can use Button Saviour (Root) to substitute screen buttons for the mechanical buttons. Search for Button Saviour in Google Play.
Change spelling to Button Savior in your search.

Pay for the Pro version ($1.99) which enables customizing and you can use screen buttons to control volume up and down.

If your phone is not more than a year old, it is covered by warranty. I don't think a few scratches on the side will void your warranty. It can get scratched from keys in the same pocket as the phone. Dents may also be acceptable as long as the nothing is broken such as the circuit boards.

Ok thanks. I'll see if they accept my phone for repairs.

T-Mobile, Warranty's, Refurbished Sensation!?

Thinking of getting a warranty on my phone, They told me it would cost me 20 dollars, and that I wouldnt be getting a "New" one it would be "Refurbished", I'm alittle outraged by that.. considering I signed on for another 2 years and bought the phone for $265.00.. My power button is sticking and I can't stand it.. is their anything I can do to fix this? The phone works just fine.. Minus the power button..

If its the power button, call HTC and get a new back cover. Tell them about the power button problem and they will send you a back cover free. You can get a 1 time replacement part on every part of our phone from them.

Try calling again you might get a different person. Tell them you can't be without your phone, you use it for buisness. If they still insist on you sending your cover first just keep arguing but don't be a **** lol.

How about your parents, or get a pre paid credit card and use that.
yep, after everyone found out you could get a free replacement people were calling HTC to get one even though they didn't need it. Now HTC requires you to put a CC on hold & send in your old one.

Why would this happen all at once?

So outta nowhere my headset speakers fail to work. I can't hear anything in a call unless I'm on speaker phone. The keys on my keyboard won't light. And the notification led doesn't light up for text or when charging anymore. I was running newsense and switched to a different rom to see if that was the problem but it wasn't.

Do an RUU back to stock (don't do the OTA), if that doesn't work it is a hardware issue. All those problems at once? Sounds like it got wet, not saying it did, but you don't usually see that many problems pop at once without something major happening. Good luck.

So are you saying try unrooting an re rooting again? Just wanted to make sure that's what you're saying first. And no, its hasn't been near water and I have the ottetbox case on it. This is my original shift btw, bought brand new with contract 14 months ago. Also just wanted to add, that even though the keyboard keys don't light, my shift and fn lights still work.

I have had the same issue happen to me, for some reason the Shift is a great water magnate they apparently found some " Moisture" Build up in mine, when they came to open it up during a repair, I would keep $100.00 USD On the side just in-case you have to file an insurance claim with asurion.
Ive tried to, Unroot and back to stock, ive tried rerooting .Re-Romming and Flashing the device,
a Majority of the time issues like that are caused by the wiring in the device "Moisture" Build up and or just cause the shift wants to be a little bonkers .
But then again if your not around it, you may just luck out and get a hardware defect claim and keep 100 bucks in your pocket and two days later you get a Refurbished device ^____^ yay for you.:laugh:
I said it sounded like moisture lol:sly: Anyways, good luck... Shifts are dropping like flies round here.
Don't want to start new thread so. Will try posting this here. My shift's screen started going black whenever I open or close the keyboard. It happens whether I am in the OS, bootlader, or recovery, so idk if it is the ROM. Any ideas?

I've seen prboy post about this a ton of times but what he always suggests is to see if you hear sort of a crunching sound when you close/open the keyboard. If you do, its probably the flex cable and you can buy one and replace it yourself (if you want)
I believe you can also take it in to Sprint if its in fairly good condition and they will give you a new one no questions asked
You might wanna also take a look at the questions/posts HERE or HERE

There is a very good possibility that it could be the Flex Cable. But if you plan on taking it back to Sprint, RUU first. That way you kill two birds with one stone. You confirm the issue, and you prep it for going back to Sprint.

[Q] Screen Repair Service

I have recently cracked the screen on my HTC One XL. I ordered a new screen and lcd already assembled for replacement and was going to attempt to fix it myself. I tried and had a very hard time getting the housing off. I then realized that I had an international screen instead of the at&t one. What I am wondering is if anyone would be willing to do the replacement for me. I could order the screen replacement and send it with my phone or just send my phone and pay you for the screen. If anyone would be willing to do this that would be amazing. I just really don't want to pay $250 for "professionals" to do it when I could have someone who knows a lot more about my particular phone do it. Thank you.

Yup, guessing it is the OIS engaging. Wonder if this is hardware or software...
I'm not sure. Imma hitch a tmobile store and ask them ...probably try for a replacement.
I had the Note 4 which was plagued by this issue in a large number of units. However, I got the s6 (edge) and have not had this problem at all. In the Note 4, people had to get replacements to truly fix the issue permanently.
I think I am gonna go and get a replacement. I hate paying this much for a device and have issues. I do love the phone other than this one issue.
Went to T-mobile today to show the camera problem and get a replacement. The rep got on the phone and about 25 minutes later I was told I'll be getting my replacement in the mail tomorrow! Just have to ship back the defective unit once the new one comes. Hopefully the new one won't have any issues.

Well, at the risk of sounding condescending, HDR is a more complicated process than just simply taking a photo. Typically, it's going to involve capturing multiple shots at different exposures and combining them through software. I'd imagine that the camera is trying to compensate for this and is taking an extra second in contrast detection to determine it's focus point, which to me, would be totally expected. Turning it off and finding a faster focus would be the trade off (and photography is ALL about trade offs lol).
Tried.... problem not solved.

Usually only a problem in low light or the first time you open the camera that day in my experience once auto HDR is disabled..

UGHH. I have the very same issue. I spent 2 hours yesterday setting up my phone and would hate to have to return it. I'm beyond annoyed by this. Let us know if this is a defect with the hardware or if it's just the OIS needing to adjust. I don't wan to go through the trouble of returning my phone and having the same issue.
Also, is there a good way to back up my phone? Helium sadly does not work, but I'm wondering if Samsung backup will do the trick, in case I need to get a new phone.

Mine did too. I couldn't get it to focus anymore, even when shaking. For it while it seemed like it was getting better, but then NOPE. My replacement is on the way as well. What are you guys using to back up and restore your s6. Usually I use TI, but I wanted to see how the samsung play situation played out first before rooting.

5.1.1 Random Hard reboots

I'll be using my phone and sometimes, it'll just shutoff as if you were to press and hold the power button to force it to reboot.
I'm on the stock ROM and just reflashed the latest image and its still doing it, is my power button faulty?
It could be a power button issue, but typically when I get this issue with the power button the phone won't be able to boot back up properly unless I intervene (i.e. flick the power button).

50$ sounds about right. The part itself (replacement) is only about 1.5$ on ebay, but it is soldiered to the board. Here you can see the work involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzRDnrwl9Tk
