Randomly taking 30 photos & Volume slider going up & down by itself.

[AAddict]

My 2 week old G4 went crazy today, first thing I noticed was hearing the camera taking continuous photos while in my pocket, I took the phone out and watched the volume slider appear on screen and then go all the way down to mute, all three rear buttons were unresponsive and then the slider appeared and volume went up to full on its own.

I removed the battery as the power button was non-responsive. Put it back in and booted up, all fine for half an hour and then it went through the same thing again.

I've resorted to a factory reset, fingers crossed.

Welcome to Android Central! Before the factory reset, you could've tried Safe Mode, to see if the problem was being caused by a 3rd party app: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-21962

It seems the problem is hardware related. The down button has stopped working, which makes sense with it being the shortcut on double tap for the camera. The power button has also stopped working sporadically. I'm in the process of getting an RMA from the seller. :/
