My side button seems to have a mind of its own is acting like it's being pressed all the time: turning of the screen, going into guided access, going to the power off screen.... Like every couple of seconds. It's getting quite annoying. Also, my volume buttons are only occasionally working. Sometimes when pressed they just don't respond. That's less of a problem though. Any ideas on how to fix it?
micaiah144,
Did you get a chance to look at the article? There are a few suggestions that will help you isolate possible causes. For example, if you have a case and it occurs with both your volume buttons and the side button, it's possible the case is the culprit.
If all else fails, try to lock your volume buttons in Settings and see if it continues. If it does, because you disabled the physical button, it's likely a software issue.
Lock the ringer and alert volumes in Settings
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Sounds & Haptics (on supported models) or Sounds (on other iPhone models).
3. Turn off Change with Buttons.
Let us know how it goes. Our fellow Apple Support Communities users may have a few more suggestions before you take it in for service.
Cheers.
Hey there micaiah144,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with the iPhone buttons. If it's only the volume buttons, but all other buttons work, check here:

Thanks.
Yeah, the bigger issue is the side button that has a mind of its own. I was hoping someone here might have some suggestions before I take it to a repair shop
