How to disable buttons on the XDA-2

Can anyone please help, I have a XDA-2 but the volume slider on the side keeps getting stuck in the down position, (its not permenently stuck, if you push up the slider goes up, but then when you let go the sometimes the volume goes down all by its self) I have enabled the sound so that when you push one of the hardware button it makes a "click" sound, i did this to check that it was the button causing the problem not software.
Its a real problem because it just changes the volume to off so unless you keep looking at it and adjust the volume back up you miss all your alarms and messages.
I have it set to go to sleep after 5 mins, But oftern in this time the button decides to hold its self in the down position so the device never turns off and you end up with a flat battery.
On reading other posts there seems to be a long wait for phones to be repaired (its out of time to just swop for a new one) I never had a slider on the XDA-1 so i would not miss it on the XDA-2, so dose anyone know how to disable the slider, i dont realy wont to take it apart and remove the slider
Any help or ideas please
Thanks
John

Anyone got any ideas, or do i just use a pair of side cutter?????

Go to COMM MANAGER, you will see a speaker there. If the speaker is ON you're in trouble LOL, just turn it off whenever you need absolute silence . Best advice, while in school, turn off your phone and attend to class!

Strange... I'm using Gnat's 6.1 and when the keypad is locked (via holding the End Call button), the volume buttons take the phone out of standby but they don't alter the volume at all. The only key that does anything is the left soft key, aka the Unlock key when in locked mode. The volume buttons and the soft keys/home key/back key all turn the screen back on but don't function at all otherwise, until the phone is unlocked.
Are you using a different keypad lock program or something? Or are you also holding the End Call button to lock the keypad?

Mine alter the sound while the phone is locked - yes, it's bug.
I don't know how to fix that either, but I'm sure somebody on here does. Should be simple for somebody who is familiar with phone's registry.

OK . If anyone is working on it (registry fix) please post here results. By the way : in my school everyone have phones turned on, and silenced.

I don't understand what is your main issue. Is it MUTE the phone, then just turn off the sound. Edit your "silence" profile and make sure you have sounds turned off when you are in "Silence" mode. No mater where your side button points the volume to, Silence profile will determine if there will be sound or not. But you need to EDIT the profile and set it acordingly. The issue with the bottons, is something that will mostlikely be taken care of when a final WM6.1 comes out. For now, all there is are experimental test roms.

The same problem. It is still possible to adjust volume while keypad is locked

I'm still very confused by all this. I don't have this problem. I put the phone in Vibrate mode, lock my keypad, let the screen go black, then press the volume buttons. The screen comes on but the volume is unchanged, no matter how many times I press the buttons.

I understand , that the ringtones are silenced with other metods, but if I am using some kind of programs what are making noise, when in use ( for example some communicators) I know I can silence ringtones by Profiles , but I just want to find some solve for this problem, and not only me want this.

Voice Call Volume Control Issue

When I'm on a call (regular headset or speaker phone) and I press the volume buttons on the left of the phone, the display shows volume being changed up and down. But the actual call volume remains the same which is always loud.
The volume control buttons work for everything else (ringtone volume, Youtube, music, etc.), but just don't change the volume during calls. If there's a way to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Faulty volume up button

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,

Ringer muted. Can't unmute

The other day I adjusted my volumes all to around 80% via the sound and notifications options. A couple of days ago, I noticed that my ringer is muted (the bell shows a diagonal line through it with the volume slider all the way to the left). If I tap on the ringer icon, nothing happens. If I try to slide the volume slider with my finger, it does not react. If I try to adjust it using the volume buttons, nothing happens. The other two volume sliders - alarms and media - work fine. I have DND turned off. I can't figure out why I can't turn my ringer back on. Anybody have any ideas?

Notification slider maybe ?

Do you mind acting as my troubleshooter, guide here? I tried but couldn't figure out how exctally OP fixed it. Request you to kindly take me on a guided tour. I shall be thankful.

Above the power button you have a slide button.
It has 3 modes
Top- mute all, no vibrate
Middle- mute sound and vibrate only
Bottom - regular, all sound and vibrations. (this is where u want to have it if you want sound)

Thank You Whizeguy

Got it. Thank you so much. Really thankful.

I'm having the same problem but my slider won't work but I can't unmute my phone

I was having the same problem and didn't know it until I went to a web site that sends an sms. I had to restart the phone to turn ringtones back on.

Thank you so much, I totally forgot about that switch and was getting very frustrated till I read this response.

Thank you so much! I too was having trouble with mine and had not idea what was meant by the slider bar until you said it was above the on/off switch. Much appreciated!
BL

OnePlus7pro ringer muted.
You've got to be kidding lol
I've been walking around for 3 days without my ringer working and it was just the slide button!
Good grief, i must be dumber than a box of rocks?
Shout out to the guy that took the time to answer our dumb question.
