You know it'd be really cool if somebody would mod whatever needs to be modded to allow the soft key backlight to be on whatever the screen is on cause I can't see that s*** for nothing f*** and it's really f****** annoying.

Does anyone know if there's a piece of software that I could use to "switch off" the side volume buttoms completely???
I've got a problem that makes the "volume up" buttons stick and continually turn the volume screen on which is a nightmare. Tried to get it fixed with Orange who sent me to HTC direct as the phone is 9 months old. HTC are refusing to fix the phone as I've put "illegal" firmware on it and they are claiming it is this software that has buggered up the volume buttons. Thing is I put the stock orange rom on the phone before I sent it back to them, but I did leave Hard SPL on!! (DOH!) - would they still be able to tell if I'd put a custom rom on the device?
if anyone knows if there's a piece of software available or who knows what I could try in the registry to fix the problem it would be massively appreciated as my phone is currently a rather fancy paper-weight
anybody??
guess I'm gonna have to play with the registry
Has anyone figured out a solution for the faulty power button? It is killing me i can't wake my phone sometimes and now that i have Froyo i get no blue light notification so my reply to peoples text messages are VERY slow.

Modaco-Paul is working on Trackball Wake! http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/14543157295
You should still have light notifications in 2.2. Is yours not working?
I only get White notifications and it doesnt blink as fast and work sometimes
Has anyone worked out exactly why these power buttons are dying? Mine's dead as a doornail too
this is pretty funny to me cuz mine was not working in the morning anyways i THINK it has to do with some dust collecting on it (like the trackball) i blew on it a lil and it started working again also i read somewhere else about a wire that has a 90 degree angle so you might try pushing the power button forward then down
This is certainly the most annoying issue on Nexus one...
I use a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to enable trackball wake and turning off via home screen. And when I need to reboot I use the "plug-remove battery-replace battery" trick...
If someone has better solutions, we'll be glad to hear them, since it seems that this problem will eventually hit all Nexus one users.
I use fancy widget - In the clock settings, I selected application when clock pressed (lock enabler app). This solves the locking problem without pressing the power.
Use the usual trackball wake as the unlocker.

My situation is:
My Nexus is with non funcioning power on switch.
What is the solution to power on phone after i need to switch battery or Sim Card,
Thank You.
I have the same problem.Is it hardware or software issue?
I used the call Google and get a warranty replacement trick
Seriously, just call and get it replaced under warranty, that's the only real fix. They are aware of the problem. My phone is rooted, I didn't mention that, and they didn't have a problem with it, and I got my replacement within a few days.
Now that they've stopped selling them, it may not be as easy, but worth a try.
This is a serious issue for people outside countries that sell the nexus one.
I live in brazil and I hope this problem doesn't appear to me because it's cheaper to try to fix it than travel to usa.

As mentioned above, for people outside the US, replacement of the device is not an easy task; and even for those who get a replacement, the problem will eventually recur, since it seems obvious now that this is a hardware issue.
As for how to reboot the device: plug it to the charger (usb or main), wait for the orange led to turn on, remove the battery, as soon as the led will turn off replace the battery and the phone will boot.
I've had two bad power buttons, they were a hardware issue replaced under warranty.
Does anyone have any experience of getting a replacement from HTC in Singapore for this power button failure issue?
I bought my phone in the Google Online Store on my last vacations in US, I live in Mexico and call to HTC for the warranty but theres no solution outside US.
I use compressed air in the power button and works a little without the battery cover.

I had exactly the same problem. then i read about it in the nexus one forum and some folks mentioned, that deinstalling the app "advanced task killer" solved their problem. i tried it and now my power button is back to normal and working like a charme!
there is a program in the market to get it to wake from the trackball but I can't remember the name. I had the same problem and had to send it back to HTC and they fixed it for free. They told me there has numerous problems with the wake/power button.
Are ALL N1 fated to have the power button break? I just bought a Nexus One and i wan't to know if i should return it whilst i still can.

Put me in the broken power button club. After going through a few months of the power button acting up, well it finally quit working. The good news is I still have 3 weeks remaining on my 1 year warranty, the bad news is the N1 has an unlocked bootloader. I called HTC last night and they emailed me an overnight shipping label. I chose the repair option instead of replacement. I did not discuss the unlocked bootloader with them. Since this is a hardware issue I can't see why they would deny the repair.
BTW, that is a great link on how to get the phone to turn on, I kept trying all last night to get it to come on by pressing the power button. If they deny the repair I will have them send it back and try one of the alternatives to turning the phone on and off.
I am currently using the Evil desire rom, should I flash back to a stock rom before sending it back.
Thanks.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I dug up my old G1 to do a little testing, and it boots fine into good old CM5. Problem is, the hard buttons, keyboard included, when pressed, cause the backlighting on all the buttons to flicker. Every button except for End (Power) locks the phone.
What would be the first step toward fixing this, and is it even repairable?
So far, I have added Button Savior as a workaround, but I would really like to fix the short, if that's what it is, so that I can flash a new ROM.
Any ideas? Do I need to disassemble the casing? Everything works in recovery- still buggy, but workable. In Android the buttons are not even usable.

I think its the hardware, but try to flash this.
If the buttons doesnt work after all and you still wish to reanimate your G1, lock out for a square part or even better a used one,
to replace the button fields.
I leave the volume turned up 100% on my phone, always, and hate when I discover it has been turned down somehow accidentally.
On my old Motorola flips, I would literally take them apart and cut the connection to the volume down button so that I could turn it up all the way and forget about it.
I figured that in the Android world there would be an app that effectively does the same thing. I did find a couple, but none seem just right. One that looked perfect doesn't work on the S4 Active, some are far too bloated for my simple needs, others run constantly in the background...
I am rooted. Is there a mod I can do to just disable or re-assign the the volume down button and be done with it?
Thanks!
Im looking for the some app/mod. I was using a "volume control +" but it doesn't work on my sgs4 active
I'm using Viper4androidfx, works very well on S4A.

Hi all!
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right here, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong
I'm new.
I've had my HTC One M7 from aliexpress.com for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
Have had great fun of it, nothing seemed wrong, was working perfectly. There were some rumours about an unofficial android-version that was put on this phone, which might be the problem..
Everytime I turn the phone screen on it thinks I hold/doubletap/tap/repeatedly tap the home button, and sometimes when I power it off it thinks I hold the volume down-button and takes a screenshot.. When I finally get to type my 4-digit pin code, it unlocks, goes to home screen, does the same again. Seems like my phone thinks I'm using the buttons..
I've changed settings (in a legit official way via Settings) of my home button to Hold for menu, Hold and swipe up for Google Search, and double-tap for recent apps..
Have tried factory reset twice, have tried rebooting it over and over, have tried almost anything.. I'm at the point of buying a new phone now, because I fear that HTC will not help me because it's an unofficial version of Android.. Any suggestions?
Everytime I open an app it just closes it and goes to home, sometimes before it does that it opens recent apps.. After that it just freezes and I can't touch it. Sometimes after waiting a couple of seconds, I can tap the screen and maybe it's fast enough to open for example WhatsApp, and then it just shuts off and does what I just stated.
Really weird!
I'm quite desperate. Could a custom ROM (Cyanogen or Android lollipop) fix this perhaps?
Please, help

This is purely a hardware issue. Your home button is somehow always in "on" position. Given it's a capacitive button, it could be the digitizer or a scratch on the home button area

This is somewhere about what I mean, read my reply also.
This might even be closer to what I mean.
Should I just send it back to HTC or can I fix this myself, with your heroic help?

Seems like just the thing I wrote. Considering it's a hardware issue you could replace the screen-digitizer assembly by yourself if you are familiar with that kind of work. I tried once on my old Desire and fried the motherboard, so I don't have cojones to do it [emoji6]
