Ran into problems where my phone got wet, the volume up button is stuck so it's always try to adjust the ringer and the ringer volume screen keeps appearing. This is annoying because I can't really see my screen and it keeps making that beeping sound. Until I get a replacement (if I can) is there a way to disable the volume up key? My phone is rooted so is there some kind of modification I can make in the system?
anyone?...
could you possibly take the phone apart and unstick the volume button or maybe even without taken the phone apart. you could also find/create an app that takes over for the the stock volume control with an option to disable physical changes to volume

Since water got into it I dont know if it's actually stuck? I just think it got fried somehow because it just randomly adjusted the volume. I was trying to find an app but I was unsuccessful, I wish I knew how to create an app.
No matter what I try, the ringtone keeps defaulting to silent mode. Whether using the volume rocker or through the settings menu, it may show a ringtone volume or vibrate for a second, but then it reverts back to silent mode. Same deal after restarting. Phone is unrooted. Any ideas how to fix it or whats going on?

Bump.
Having same problem. If I use shortcut switches or apps to change the ringer volume, I can't seem to get silent - I have to go into settings and switch it to vibrate from there. Then vibrate will work awhile but after some time I'll automatically switch to silent (the icon in the notification bar changes with this).
Pretty sure it can't be a hardware issue, since it does vibrate when I set it to. But I can't figure out why it keeps reverting to silent mode on its own.
Any ideas? It's a new One S, unrooted. Haven't messed with it in any way besides choosing to use a Launcher. And it's been annoying not being able to get notifications when I need the phone on silent.

Recommend sending it to your carrier or to HTC.
Sent from my locked, tampered ville
Do you have any sound schedulers running that would force it to silent at a certain time?

Sent HTC an email asking about it over the weekend, they replied this morning and suggested I boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition.
Looks like it worked! I can now toggle volume/silent/vibrate using the volume rocker, or toggle apps, without having to go into settings - plus, it doesn't seem to automatically switch back to silent mode now.
I'll probably keep an eye on it for a day or two just to be sure, cos the time periods between reverting to silent mode weren't consistent - but it looks promising
Honestly dunno why I didn't think of trying a wipe in the first place
Anyway here are the instructions they sent:
1. Turn the phone off (hold the Power key on devices with sealed battery)
2. Press and hold the Power key and Volume Down key to boot into Bootloader mode.
3. Press Volume down to highlight Recovery, then press the Power key
4. When the Black recovery screen appears, press Volume Up and Power at the same time to show the menu.
5. Press Volume down to highlight Wipe cache partition, then press the Power key.
6. When complete, press the Power key to reboot the phone.
The partition cache collects a lot of data for apps as they are running and keeps this data in the memory to help boot the phone up faster as well as boot up apps faster, this can hold corrupted files created when a third party application has permissions that conflict with the update program and clearing this cache will allow the system boot without the conflict.

Randomly, when I try to change the volume on my phone, the in-call volume icon comes up instead of the normal one. At this point, I can't change any other volume unless i manually go into the settings and change the volume tere. This happens until i reboot my phone. Upon reboot, the volume icons return to normal for an hour or too, but eventually revert back.
Anyone else experiencing these problems or know of a fix

Hi
My nexus 5 running into issues again. .
It automatically goes to silent mode. After increasing the volume again it goes back to silent mode.
I can see the volume bar decreasing from full to vibration in front my eyes.
Also sometimes the power button won't work for sometime.
If I tried to reboot, it automatically goes into recovery mode without pressing any combination of keys.
Once I press volume button it goes into one of the recovery settings and gives a message NO COMMAND
After multiple hits of power button or some combination will boot the phone into safe mode sometimes..
Now I am stuck with its issue of automatically turns into vibration mode.
I am worried to reboot bcause it may stuck in recovery.
Any solution...
I used to have this issue in lollipop and got fixed in marshmallow..
But recent patch fix update in December gives the problem again. .
Please someone help or forward to a thread which helps to clear this problem,m
Sounds like you may have a sticky power and volume button.
Maybe open up the phone and swab around the buttons with a bit of alcohol, then rapidly press and release the buttons using slightly more pressure than normal. Not too much pressure though.
Hi,
This problem occurred about a week ago.
When I hold my volume up or down a few seconds to adjust the volume, suddenly the volume bar maxes out or hit the bottom and gets stuck there.
If I try to adjust it on-screen (without the buttons) like when it gets stuck at the maximum volume it jumps to the maximum volume again. (Same thing goes for the opposite).
Now About the power button.
It just doesn't work sometimes. Like it won't turn on my phone or turn it on.
BTW I changed my ROM to AOSP extended for about 2 or 3 weeks ago but this problem just happened as I mentioned before a week ago.
What should I do to fix this?
Thx in advance!
Your buttons are probably broken, go see a technician..
