Anything that affects the proper functioning of your phone also affects you. One of the things that can affect your phone is when the volume button stops working and you either can’t increase the volume of your music, or you can’t reduce it. Despite how annoying this can be, there are ways this can be fixed. This article will introduce some fixes about how to fix the TECNO volume button not working.
How to Fix TECNO Volume Button not Working
Check Whether the Volume Button is Damaged
If the volume button on your TECNO phone is damaged, then there will be problems with the volume control of your device. A damaged volume button usually would have dents on it or be bent in ways it wasn’t designed to be. These dents might be a result of a hard fall, as the volume button isn’t easily damaged.
Dents on your volume button won’t make the button work again because it has most likely shifted the button off its proper place, and the button can’t depress the key underneath it anymore.
Also, another symptom of a damaged volume button is permanent depression. Usually, the volume buttons are a little bit higher than the sides of the phone, but with incessant and sometimes harmful use, the volume button can get permanently depressed. This would make it impossible to use the button. For particularly bad cases, the volume button might peel off when you’re inspecting it and trying to see what’s wrong, so beware of that.
For a damaged volume button (either it is still attached to your phone or has come off), you can take your phone to Carlcare. We are TECNO’s official after-sales service, so original volume button replacement will be used to replace your damaged volume button.
Long Press Power Key for 30 seconds and Check if Device Can Reboot
Another fix you can use when your TECNO volume button is not working is to force your phone to shut down and come back on. This will help in cases where the problem is software-related. Software updates are usually the reasons for this.
Normally, software updates are meant to improve the performance of your phone or that of a particular app, but bugs can and do happen. This is the reason for the forceful shutdown and reboot. Rebooting your phone will help to shut down all background processes and applications, and then start them up again. If the issue is a software issue, this should fix it.
Check if the Volume Key has any Foreign Particle on it
This is another fix you can use to fix the TECNO volume button not working. Examine your volume key very closely to see there is any foreign particle on it. The presence of a foreign object will impede the proper working of the button, as it might tamper with the placement of the key. And once the volume key is shifted off its position, then it won’t be able to work properly.
If you find a foreign object on your volume button, don’t try to use a sharp object to clear it out or poke it. Doing this can damage your volume key or worse, cause the volume button to fall off. This is not something you want to happen, as that will only cause you more frustration.
Instead, use tissue paper to try and get the foreign object out. The use of a gentle touch is very critical here. Your priority should not just be to remove the foreign object at all costs but to remove the foreign object without causing further damage to your phone.
Use Virtual Volume Button Apps or Accessibility Menu
Virtual volume button apps are a viable replacement for your volume button. Though you might want to replace your volume button, you shouldn’t have to use your phone without being able to change the volume. Virtual volume button apps can help you here.
There are a number of these apps on the Google Play Store, so you can go there and install them. You can customize them on your screen to make them feel as close to the physical buttons as possible.
Another software option you can use is to use the inbuilt android accessibility menu on your TECNO phone. The menu provides you with a way to adjust the volume of your phone, alongside other functions.
