Hey everybody, this is my first post on xda , so please don't flame me with " Wrong category " replies and stuff like that.
I own a Sansung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T. Everything is fine with it, except for a stupid little volume up button. Before you jump to conclusions, the volume rocker is not the problem. What I've done is removed the volume rocker and used a pin to press the ACTUAL VOLUME TACTILE BUTTON. The volume down works perfectly, but no matter how much pressing, depressing, and holding, the volume up tactile won't do jack s***. Ive had to make do with just pressing down then using the on screen slider to turn it up. Frustrating.
I haven't modified the Android (4.3 Jelly Bean) or installed a custom kernel or anything like that, everything is OEM
Anyway I could fix this myself?
Thanks for your support,

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
I just picked up a used AT&T Fuze, it works fine, but whenever I switch it on for a couple of minutes it acts as though the volume button is being held down (or the volume icon on the screen being used).
After looking into it further it appears that the up volume button is not working (which probably explains why I could not get it to hard reset). Is there a link to taking apart the phone and cleaning the buttons? Or a link to somewhere to buy new buttons (been browsing eBay but having a hard time finding buttons amongst all the pink with hearts cases).
Thanks.
OK, so reading another thread I saw that someone who purchased this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-FUZE-LC...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef8817bf6
Had to move the volume rocker button over from their old LCD Digitizer to the new one, since I am assuming that the rocker button simply pushes on a contact behind the button itself, is it safe to believe that if I ordered this part I could move my volume rocker over and have a working up volume button again?
Thanks.
Hi all,
So it's a few days the power button seems to be kaput! The phone only wakes up by removing and re-inserting the battery and after the screen turns off there is no way to turn it on again (unless I receive a call for example). So first I thought I'd just replace the power key as I thought it would be just a clip-on circuit but no! it's soldered to the main board.
Right, next thought was to look whether Touch Control / Sweep 2 Wake-Sleep etc. is possible. I've used this feauture on newer Nexus devices so hoped something would be available for poor old I9023 as well. However, bponury's T/C app is not available for Nexus S and I can't seem to find any S2W/S2S kernel either. It's a long time since I was following Nexus S development closely so is there something similar that will allow me to not throw away the phone or am I looking in vain?
Thanks!
Use volume rocker to wake phone and remap the search button for power

Volume Rocker Wake should be a custom rom's option I suppose? I will look into it.
Regarding remapping search button, I've searched at Play for "button remap" but seems this kind of apps have disappeared! Any link?

This might be sort of an overkill solution....
Install SlimBean 4.2.2 ROM. It has volume rocker wake AND button remapping.
I've been using the ROM since months and haven't used the power button at all.

I seriously don't understand how can you post this on a sony smartwatch forum D:
Anyway try to ask the question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help
They could help you more than us
T-Mobile debranded One Plus 7 Pro here, wandering if there is any mod, or root, to fix the delay for pressing volume, and how many ticks?
I hate pressing the volume for no instant response, pressing only pulls up the volume adjuster but doesn't move the volume without being held for a short delay. Also why so many ticks? So if anyone has a fix please help me out, as I'm sure others have the same issue and would like a fix as well ty.
