Volume rocker problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes my volume rocker doesn't work to change the volume of my ringer. I'm at the home screen and attempting to mute or raise my volume and it doesn't work. I have to some times restart but most times it fixes itself after I turn the screen off.

Are you using a custom ROM? It sounds like a software glitch if the phone fixes itself once the screen is turned off or the phone is restarted.

Looks like a factory reset is in order then.

I agree with @drdagreenphd. Factory reset should fix this issue and if it doesn't then you should send the phone back in for a warranty replacement.

(Q) is there a way to turn off the home button lights?

Whenever I'm watching a video the home buttons tend to annoy me. Does it bother others? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I save my power button !

With some change of keylayout, I use the camera button as power button.

At
key 212 CAMERA
Change to
key 212 POWER WAKE
Please alignment with up line include space.

Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?

Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

You can try others, but make a backup of the original file. ^ ^

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

While flashing other roms in BBM?

Screen record

I pulled down my notifications and I saw a notification looking like a native Android one but it said screen recording with a phone as an icon.
Didn't know the phone or rom (cataclysm) had that feature. I pressed the button under the notification and it seemed to record till I rapidly pressed the stop recording button. I now have a 5 sec mp4.
I don't read much and I have no idea how screen recording feature got into my notification pull down.
Any ideas?

That's a no go for me, too.
OK I got it to work. I don't know why the shortcut can be on/off like that. Thanks

Volume rocker

I have a weird issue sometimes my volume rocker will just randomly stop functioning on the home screen. Works when I open a app but when I go back to the home screen it stops working again. It's solved by a reboot but seems like a regular issue for my at the moment. Suggestions?

Are you rooted? Are you running a custom ROM/kernel?
Do you have any kind of gesture control app or feature installed that could be doing this? Are you using a launcher that may have disabled the rocker?

No I don't. I actually haven't had this phone very long so I'm stock everything with only a few apps and games installed.

Bug report

Been getting this weird bug report thing sometimes when I press the power button and volume rocker. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Happens quite often, especially when it's on my pocket.

It's caused by pressing the power button and vol up and down. It's because you have debugging enabled in developer options
