Volume button + Reset button does what? - HD2 General

My phone kept freezing on the CHT Lock screen today and I couldn't get passed it. So I was holding it, plastic fork in one hand, phone in the other, not realizing I was also pushing one of the volume buttons and hit the red button with my plastic fork at Chipotle.
All of the sudden my phone rebooted to a screen that looks like a Rom Flashing screen with the weird bars of color. As soon as I saw this I hit the end button and it turned off. Then I started it back up and it was fine.
Just wondering what holding the volume button and hitting the red reset button at the same time do.
Thanks.

Sounds like a Hard Reset
Sounds like you initiated a hard reset. Volume up would have continued the process. Does not sound like there was any harm done!

Thanks. That's good to know. Hard Reset wouldn't have been the end of the world since all of my contacts are on my exchange server and all of my data is on my card and backed up on my pc.

Yeah that would come in pretty handy if that is the only you would be able to do a hardreset...if you where stuck and needed to bring your phone back!

Stuck Button

I droped my MDA and now the top right button is stuck. When my phone reboots, it only shows a screen with all the colors on it. I can get around this by holding the left button and telling the phone not to hard reset. However, I really need the use of the button back. Does anyone know of an easy way to unstick a button.
Thanks

Do I now have a brick too?

Well I didnt even do it on a rom flash. All I did was start installing MS net compact on my mda since I needed it to run a new program. As it was installing I hit the camera button while setting it on the desk by mistake and the screen slowly faded out to black. MDA wont restart now, wont even power on and I cant even get to the bootloader mode using the power button and camera button. GRRRRRRRRRRR Any ideas?
completely discharged battery?
no, fully charged. I said screw it and took a circuit board out of a busted screen mda I had laying around that I bought for 20 bucks off a guy. Of course the volume tab was broke off the slider in that one so now I dont have a way to use the slider. You just cant win I quess. It least it boots fine with the other board in it. Anyone know of a fix for a broke volume slider?
Take off the battery for half an hour or so, then try to start the WIZ again afterwards!
While removing the battery hold the power button and continiue to hold it for 30 seconds after you removed the battery! Leave the device without the battery for at least 30 minutes!
When placing the battery back in to the device hold the power button before doing so and keep holding the power button while putting in the battery. Wait a few seconds when done and try then to power on the device!
If nothing happends press and hold the CON button on the left together with the VOICE DIAL button on the right and make a reset while holding those buttons.
Let me know if it worked!
Do I have a brick too

Problem with my wing please help

For sum reason my wing just stop working. the other day it just faded to white and never turn back on. once i got it to turn on it only went to the multi colored screen so i connected to my computer and loaded the tmobile RUU it went to 100% rebooted and ever came back on. a blue screen then came on and said press yes to continue, i did n here i am posting my problem because it only goes to that screen. Any input from anyone would be great.
You could try a hard reset. You will loose everything but at least your phone might be working.
1. Hold the two soft keys down (the one that opened contacts and calendar by default)
2. With your stylus push the soft reset (below the volume control) hold for about 5 seconds.
3. Keep holding the soft keys and you should get an message to push the send button.
4. press send.
Your phone should reset (hopefully) at this point.

Crazy volume problem

Basically, it is as if the top volume button is held down, and the volume is continuously going up on my HD, even when I try to turn it down, it shoots back up again, and is stuck on the volume screen. Sometimes, if I turn it down to silent, it will stay silent for a few seconds, then the volume goes up again and keeps going up.
Really annoying as it means the phone is basically unusable as I'm pretty much always trapped in the volume screen!
Any ideas?
I would suppose that a button is stuck!
Take of the back cover and take a good look at the buttons to see if anything could be wrong!

That's what I thought, but it looks fine to me
I had the same problem as you but I then realize that when I was putting down the volume while in a conversation was my face pressing the screen and increasing again the volume...could it be your same problem?

Nope, because it happens if I don't touch the phone and just leave it on the table
Have you tried a hard reset?
Do a backup first.
Turn off the phone. If you can't pull the battery out.
Hold the volume up + down at the same time then press the power on button for about 1 second. Let go of the power button while keeping the volume up and down still pressed down.
You should see a blue / green / red screen then just follow the instructions on screen.
If this doesn't solve your problem then most likely something is keeping your volume up button depressed internally. Take it back for repair...
The volume slider malfunctioning is a big one on HTC devices known issues. I've had the same problem with my elf....and I've seen plenty that do too. Your best bet would be to take it to an authorized service rep. Sucks I know
Try to remove the cover and use it... the pressing mechanism is on the cover...

Tried that, still the same problem.
I'm going to try a hard reset today, if I still get the problem, going to ask Orange to replace it. I wonder if they'll let me pick another phone, I'm getting a bit fed up with the HD!
I have the same problem, it occurs randomly and I discovered that if I quickly press the power button to stand by the phone and press it again to exit from stand by, the volume bug disappears and phone starts working well again. I thought it was a software bug but I still have it on 1.19. It rarely happens now on 1.13 was more frequent.

Back button presses itself

I replaced the digitezer and the back button (and sometimes the menu button, but mostly the back button) keeps pressing itself.
I get the heptic feedback as if I pressed the button, but I never did.
I took another look at my installation and everything looks good. I added some electric tape between the cables for the back and menu buttons to prevent shorting, I run a factory reset on the phone but the issue remains.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm running android 5.0.1
