Hi all,

My BA has suddenly developed a very strange problem. It suddenly, for no apparent reason start beeping with the volume indicator on full (as if someone is pushing the volume slider up). This turns off only when I push the volume slider down. But now, the volume up slider has stopped working (down is fine), as has the power off switch. BUT, the power switch still works ok for switching on, and for toggleing backlight...it only doesn't switch off. Most irritating is the "Slider up" beeping it seems to do at random, and doesn't stop until it has been fiddled with. Any ideas?

BTW, I have a T-mobile BA upgraded to WM6 a year ago with no problems.

Thanks!!

First which rom do you use, does your device makes this with other roms,did you tried hard reset?

If this is not software issue(the upper suggestions did not helped), then you must clean the contacts of the volume slide button it may be stuck in up position. If this does not solve your issue clean all buttons contacts, and if this does not solve this issue then maybe there is something wrong with your motherboard

Thanks for that Xplode.

Before I got a chance to look at your more involved options, my battery began to die, so I plugged in the unit to the power. And now the beeping problem seems to have gone. The problem with the volume up slider and power off buttons remains, but they are manageable - the beeping was driving me nuts! My suspicion is the non-official 3200 mAh battery I am using...the phone has never been quite right since I installed it. Let that be a warning to us all......
