I have a Samsung S4-GT I9505 with a volume up damaged or stuck key , so it always boots into recovery since the volume up is stuck and in order to get it boot I have to keep pressing on the volume down while it is booting .
I took my phone to many repair shops and no one knew how to fix this issue , I know that while I'm in the rom I can install any audio widget to get the volume up but to me this is not a solution .
please , if any one knows Samsung GT-I9505 volume key ways or any clue on how to fix this issue , kindly I ask you to provide me with your experience .
thanks alot in advance
Take the phone apart so you can see the motherboard, then reassemble the phone. Sometimes the buttons on the case get out of whack and press against the volume control buttons on the motherboard, causing this issue. If that doesn't work, replacing the motherboard may be your only alternative, as the buttons on the board are not user replaceable.

thanks for the reply , but I did took apart the phone many times and no success .
Then it's most likely the button on the board that has gone bad. I am presuming you tested the button on the board while you had the back off?

Couple of days ago I noticed that my DHD's volume down button does'nt work anymore. First I didn't pay attention, thought that after restart it will be solved, but it didn't. The volume down function doesn't work in any software (up works just fine). Before I decide to go to warranty, what do you think, is it a software or hardware problem? There is no accidents or any damages happened, I know and physically the button seems to work. Please help!
Normally buttons are hardware, in your case its easy to tell.
remove the battery. Put it back in. Hold down the volume down then turn on the phone, if it starts normally your button is dead, if you get into bootloader mode it could be software and you should try reflash or wipe in settings

Thank you so much Blackhorse!
Although the first try didn't succeed (perhaps I didn't hold both volume down and power button long enough), the second try started the bootloader and I was able to use both volume buttons. After another boot the stock rom started normally and now my volume down function is back! Hopefully it stays so...
Hey guys,
My volume keys have died. Part of the wire strip that is connect to the buttons is torn.
Any ideas if there is a replacement upperboard yet?
having the same issue... going to try blackhorse's solution and see if it works
best regard

unfortunately it didn't work. I guess the volue down button is dead, even though I had absolutely no accidents with it.
does anybody have an idea of how to solve this, since I live in Brazil, but bought DHD in Germany?
any help would be very appreciated
best regards
André
same problem here, my buttons stop working. What I usually do then is lift the volume keys up slightly and slide some paper underneath to clean some dust and then usually it works again (for a while)
My dhd volume buttons stopped working a while ago (unless u press really hard). I ordered a new button and it arrived a month later, now even with the new button, they r not working .
Also pushing the buttons with a pencil tip (without the volume rocker) still doesn't make it respond easily...almost completely dead
What am I supposed to do to fix it? DIY possible? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Hey look buddy. I had the same problem and I have resolved it by replacing, by myself, the mother board were the volume buttons were attached . It's a DIY thing. Just order from ebay or any local mobile service parts from your country, the upper main board ( upper mother board ) and then search on youtube, how to disassemble the phone. Just to be very careful when you open up your phone because it's a little tricky, and remember the order of your steps.
Good luck !
I ve recently bought a broken screen G900F ,an galaxy s5.After i repaired the screen i switched it on to see there s a pattern lock.once i tried to put it to download mode to reset it,screen comes up with push volume up to get into download mode but volume up button doesnt work.I think volume down button is stuck thats why it doesnt work.when i switch the phone on its always on safe mode which indicates volume down button is stuck? i even have replaced the volume flex but didnt help...
is there any other way i can get this phone restored or volume button sorted?any help will appreciated...
thanks for your help
Sounds like you need Something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Hous...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43cae3361a
You could try using some alcohol to clean the inside of the volume buttons, in case an dirt got in there, since, I'm presuming, the phone was dropped, hence the broken screen.
i have manage to locate a i9100 jig to put it on download mode for now.but still have to get the volume sorted somehow.
thanks for your help
A JTAG jig will put you into download mode.
For a malfunctioning volume switch, check to see if the part is stuck, bent or dirty.
If you can't restore operation, then replace it.
It's not clear if the parts are available separately. They appear to be included with the rear frame.

Long story short my S5 got wet and I took it apart, but when I put it back together the volume keys aren't working. I'm not sure If I need to buy the midsection of this phone that houses the volume and power buttons or if I need to buy a new LCD glass. I think I may have cut the ribbon cable on the left side of the LCD screen. See the below image of how the two cables look like they should be connected but are disconnected. Every tear down and pics of this phone show these two cables being connected. Can someone please confirm if I did indeed cut this cable and if it does control the volume up and down buttons? I want to exhaust all my options before I break down and buy the midsection. If I did infact cut the cable then it will be a costly mistake. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Im not sure if you did but for now you can download a volume widget till you can have it looked at

I wish it were that simple as I have another problem with my phone, but in order to fix that problem I need to fix the volume button problem. My phone is stuck in boot loop from getting wet. It's unrooted and I could access the screen to wipe data when the volume buttons worked, but even after trying to wipe data it would still stay in boot loop. Now, If I help the volume down, home, and power button I could access the Downloading screen. This screen will give me hope of reloading a new OS, but I can't get to this screen till I can figure out my volume button issue. I"m hoping some one can shed some light to my question above. Thanks
so recently i dropped my phone and my power button stopped working... when i press it it feels like its already pressed... i think it may be stuck... anyway if you managed to understand may i please have some help?
Not having taken this phone apart myself I can't be 100% but it sounds like the drop made the power button skip off the part it pushes on and that part is now slightly to the side of the power button. In order of safety your options seem to be:
Return it to Samsung for repair,
Take it to a third party repair shop to fix,
Use a YouTube video on how to disassemble the phone and some very small screwdrivers to take it apart and try to reseat the button yourself (hoping it isn't the external button itself that's damaged while you do so) and definitely voiding any warranty you may have.
