My phone thinks the down volume button is pressed

I own a xiaomi red mi note 8.

I was listening to music normal and it started lowering the volume by itself. I tried to get the volume higher a few times (pressing the up volume button or using the screen) but it kept going all the way down.

So i turned it off and cleaned it a little bit just in case something was bothering the button from the outside, or if the system was stuck. Then when I opened it and it still thought that the down button was pressed so it sent me to fast boot. Somehow I managed to boot it properly and now it seems to be okay, but i think it will happen again.

Is it a hardware or a software error? if there’s nothing I can do about it I might need to buy a new one.

This is what's happening to my phone now. It's Redmi note 7 btw. :/

I start to think that I need to switch to another brand. Xiaomi sucks :’(

It’s the second time this happens to me. The first it just went away in a matter of hours but now it’s really irritating me. It won’t go away. The Google Assistant fix doesn’t work for me either, ugh!!!! I can’t live without music and videos so this is annoying

My phone is Black Shark 4

wow mate, thanks for your answer, it literally solved the problem

Man, it really worked. I almost gave up and buy another phone. Thanks a lot

Yeah, that worked for me too. Even my phone entered fast boot mode multiple times and the volume went all the way down to zero on its own.

I thought it was a software bug and soon had made my mind to install custom rom or so. Hitting the button (gently) literally solved the problem! Thanks!

For people who has this issue and hitting table doesn't work, i found an app named 'buttons remapper & combinatin' by 'Irishin'. You should download it, then give permission and then click + button in app, choose the button with the problem for me it is 'volume +', choose 'do nothing' for the action and enable 'block system action'. From now on my volume up button is not sensing anything. For increasing volume , i will use volume down button to see the volume window on screen then will use touchscreen to turn the volume on.

Hey there 👋

Made an account just to say — Thank you. This bug has been following me for nearly a year now. No idea why it started, but honestly, this little mf annoyed me quite a lot, and as I can see, not only me 👀

Anyways, glad I haven't stopped searching for a solution 🤝

Thank you so much for this solution! Banged the volume button several times already, but this one you suggested is what worked!

Just made an account, too to let you know how grateful I am! Thank you so much!

30 mag 2023 da Stephanie Ann Cisneros

This works best for me so far, thank you so much. It was suddenly not working (said remapper is malfunctioning) but I reinstalled it and works again. I've tried to solve this by pressing the middle space between two buttons and didn't work but this app did!

I got a xiaomi redmi note 8. And today I experienced the same thing and it started when I was playing league of legends: wild rift and it becomes a hindrance in my game as it blocks the buttons I use to play the game. If you want a visualization; the volume always appear in the screen, every second so it doesn't go away. I tried restarting the device but the options to "airplane mode";"silent mode";"restart";"shutdown" don't appear. So, I long press and the device shuts down. Then when I try to open it go to Fast Boot. I tried doing what Mustafa said and in addition tried to clean the earphone slot with cotton buds with 99% alcohol. After that my phone goes back to normal. (I already have pried open the back of my device to try to fix the buttons itself but don't know how to get into the buttons itself.) Hope this helps the others before they pry open their device.
