Had my Nexus 5 for about a week and suddenly encountered this problem in the past few days.
When the phone is unlocked, the volume will increase as if someone was pressing the volume up hardware button. This happens every couple of seconds. The volume never goes back down.
I don't have the unit in a case and nothing else is near the button when this happens.
Rooted the phone a few days before this happened and it is steadily getting worse. i.e. as soon as you unlock the phone, the volume starts going up. Very annoying when you set it to vibrate, since it just starts beeping loudly at you as it increases the volume.
I have a 32GB white if that makes any difference.
I've done a factory reset and that makes no difference.
Did this happen before rooting the device?
I think this is not hardware problem since it happened to me before in my old phone. I fixed it by reflashing the stock firmware. In your case flash the factory image and see if it fixes it.

No it didn't. But it wasn't immediately noticable after rooting either - maybe a day after.
Is your house haunted by chance?
I have a similar issue, not rooted. Sometimes when I adjust my volume it's not as loud as it should be. I will turn it up to max and barely hear it. After I turn it from max to silent a few times it eventually goes back to the correct volume. Restart didn't help.
When I reflashed the stock image the problem remained. However, when I relocked the bootloader the problem went away.
Weird problem. Weird solution.
I haven't tried rooting again yet but I'm sure I will soon. Hopefully the problem doesn't come back.

Root again Maybe you did something wrong at the first??

So I unlocked the bootloader again and installed TWRP then got root from there, and the volume problem returned.
I relocked the bootloader and the problem went away. So it seems related to the bootloader being locked/unlocked.
A perhaps related question: When on the bootloader/fastboot screen, my options ("Start", "Boot recovery" etc.) cycle by themselves. Only when I plug in the USB cable do the options stop cycling. Is this normal?

No this is not normal behavior. The volume buttons cycle through the options so looks Luke you gave a dodgy volume switch

also none of the lights are on
I dont see what I did wrong, I didnt download anything stupid... whats going on? ;__; PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEEEE help me, im so confused right now! The only thing I do wrong is over charge it alot, is that why? WAIT, DID I GET HACKED OR SOMTHING?? (Why didnt I buy that iPhone...)
( I read some other posts similar but I had no idea what people were talking about.... like download stuff onto your phone to fix it? how the heck do I do that???)
Your volume down button is pressed. When you reboot the phone while holding volume down it takes you to the bootloader. See if the button is jammed in. If so, try tapping the phone against your palm to unstick it.

How do I un-jam it? Ive tried that and out of the 142903480 times, twice I got some bit of green text under the 5 selections, I wasnt able to catch what it said cause it dissapeared 2 seconds after.
Oh and the power button isnt working because when I click power to select the first option (the fastboot thing,whatever that does...) It only worked right when this problem happend, and after that It wont do anything D:

I think so. ... So the only thing wrong with it was the buttons or somthing?
You're just stuck in bootloader. You should still have a ROM installed to boot to (if you didn't wipe that when you reset). Should be able to battery pull and boot normally.
Oh wait, it thinks you're holding volume when powering on cuz your button is stuck. That is hardware failure. You may, actually, have to use insurance, or your provider may even swap it out for fairly cheap if it was purchased fairly recently.

Hi guys,
My HTC One X (Rogers) was working fine until one day I noticed that while I had my AUX cable or headphones plugged in, the ringtone upon receiving a call would be so loud that it'd distort. When I receive calls without having either of these plugged in, the ringer volume is fine but upon plugging them in, the sound amplifies 3x causing a very poor sound quality. It gets fixed after a factory reset (the reset option which only resets accounts and settings and leaves the data as it is). It stays fine for 3-4 days until it starts happening again. I sometimes do a hard restart after full battery charge just to calibrate battery by pressing and holding down power button until it restarts.
A notice appears after restart in the notifications bar,(send error report to HTC.) And I click on it to see it saying that the phone had an abnormal restart. Could this be causing the issue?
I don't have any problems with music or sound without AUX or headphones plugged in.
No problems with music with them plugged in.
Only ringtones distort and get extremely loud when they're plugged in.
This issue was never there since I bought it and has started to trouble me recently :'(
I'm in stress because of this and cannot factory reset every three days. So please help me out if you can. I'd be very grateful

So you'll want to download the OTA zip file from one of the RUU threads. Click the Resource compilation thread link in my signature and scroll down to the RUU section.
Then check the MD5 of your download to make sure there's no corruption.
Then copy the zip file to your SD card. Then boot to bootloader by holding the power button. The back, home, and recent apps buttons will blink (7 times?) then the screen will go black. Let go of power and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.
Select recovery
When you get a picture on your screen, press power and volume up at the same time(I think?) then you should get a few options one of which being install from zip or something like that.
Select that option, browse to your zip file, select it and let the phone do the rest.
Charge your phone up before doing all this so it doesn't die in the process. Takes about 10-15 mins to complete. I've only done this once that's why I'm a little shady on the details.
Good Luck.
So, I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not.
I tried flashing XYLON.
Now, the phone gets stuck on the boot animation. I've been trying to get it to work for the last 12 hours. It either gets stuck on the boot animation, or on the "Android is updating" screen. I can't even get into the hboot to boot into recovery.
Can anyone recommend a course of action to bring my phone back to life?

Hold down power until lights flash 7-10 times. Simulates a battery pull. Then push volume down and press and hold power button for 4-5 seconds, then release power while still holding volume down.. should go to bootloader. Sounds like your not timing it correctly

Well, I'm still trying that. I've done it the way you''ve mentioned it here as well. Trying it again now. I've never had problems getting into my hboot before. :S
Something just seems wrong.
Once I get back home, I'm gonna pull the phone apart and check if something's wrong with my volume button. The Vol. up stopped working, but vol down was working just fine....
Let it boot as far as it will go and see if adb will recognize it. If it does adb reboot bootloader

I've tried that.I kept it for an hour, let it go as far ahead as it would. ADB does not see it.
I agree, if you cant get Into bootloader its a timing issue. Try holding the power buttons until the capacitive buttons blink 7 times or so, when the screen goes black let go of power and press and hold only volume until the bootloader comes up. This way is almost impossible to miss.

Seem like I've been missing the timing all day. :/ I'm gonna check my hardware this evening... lets see what happens after that.
I have heard of a case where someone had to physically disconnect the battery before they could get into bootloader but that's a *****. Since you're s-off you could try RUUing.

RUU doesn't work. I can't get RUU to detect my phone. It doesn't boot up. It's stuck at the boot logo. And even if I leave it connected to ruu while i'm trying to reboot, or trying to get into hboot, it still doesn't detect my phone.
Well... You could let the battery drain and then charge it for about 10 mins then unplug from power and press and hold power and volume.

Well, I've already pulled my phone apart once to replace my broken screen. Which is why I'm suspecting it could be a hardware problem. Somehow. *sigh*
And I'm in. Finally.
I let the phone's battery drain completely. I pulled apart the phone, and pressed down on the volume + power pins/buttons directly. And I got into the boot loader.
I'm currently restoring the backup of the rooted stock rom I always keep on my phone storage.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and support.

So my situation is similar but my htc inc s is brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu). So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago! Can you help me in some way guys...

Sorry, I am not familiar with your phone. If it is completely stock, you may be able to RUU while int he diagnostic menu or during updating screen. Best to post in the Htc inc s forums.

My cousin's S3 is unrooted. Yesterday he said it froze up on him... No buttons work, however, if you take the battery out and put it back in, the phone will power back up, comes all the way on up to the home screen, but nothing works, no buttons, no reaction from touching the screen or anything.
Verizon is blaming it on Nova.
I know better, Nova is flawless in my opinion.

There may be an option in recovery to get to download mode, from there he can Odin back to stock.
Buttons not working doesn't sound like a problem a rom can cause. Did it get wet, fall? Did it start to update and it was interrupted? Curious.

Stock recovery should be able to perform a factory reset. Try that and if it doesn't work read up on Odin to go back completely to stock. If that fails you are likely looking at hardware failure. My guess is the factory reset will fix it for you.
I'd try to go into stock recovery by pressing power, home and volume up buttons....wipe davlick cache

I was holding Power and Vol Down like on my DNA, turns out I had to hold Vol Up.
For some reason, I tried to boot into recovery from Goo.im and I wound up with a red "!". Holding the power for over 3 minutes did nothing. Holding Volume Up plus power put me back in business.
I've had that issue several times now where I was horsing around with xposed modules and rebooting and it would just freeze with the screen super dim and the Verizon logo just barely perceptible. Holding power forever did nothing. One thing I found that ALWAYS recovers it for me is holding power and volume UP for about 30 seconds. It hard resets it. Works every time for me.
I was starting to get scared too as I'm coming from The Galaxy s4 and am used to being able to battery pull.
