I would like to perfor reboot or restart (soft reset in Windows Mobile) withoit the power button, with a small application.
POWER OFF v3, available on Market doesn't work on Nexus1.
I cannot find one more...
Suggestion?
thanks
I use Reboot Control Widget and it works great for me!
It has several options:
Reboot Handset
Power Down
Recovery Console
Boot Loader
Wipe Handset
All work 100% of the time.
Root Required as with any reboot or power down command.
QuickBoot
u can download quickboot from market. it worls well on n1.

Glad someone else sees it my way as well.
I could never understand why people get an app for a one step improvement...especially when it's already made so simple by the manufacturer.

quickboot however offer 2-click (1 open app, 1 choose option) access to "reboot" "reboot to recovery" "reboot to bootloader".
saves me the hassles of breaking my fingers each time trying to hit several butons at the same time

Quick Boot is a whopping 29kb installed and is easier to use despite what some members think. Wasted space is space unused.

Well I for one love it, saves a lot of wear and tear on the buttons on my phone. Anything that will save the wear and tear on my phone is imo a good thing. I don't know why people would want to hit all the buttons to do a reboot, enter recovery and so on its a pain in the butt.

So far, saving wear on the button is the best argument I've heard regarding such an app. That makes more sense... although I'd call HTC and get it repaired if that happened, which I doubt as the buttons seem durable enough. Anyway, your points are well-taken, but humbly disagreed with.

Hello, i need some ideas from you
how can i make my kaiser not to start, so it will look like "broken"?
like press the power button or soft reset and never start in wm.
i would also like a solution on how to re-fix it by myself after that.
maybe one idea, is to flash it and while flashing soft reset. what will happen then? my thoughts are that it will not start until i re-flash it from the computer.
how about that? and plz don't ask why i want to do this crazy thing
have my reasons

maybe to buy from someone a device showing the seller that his produt seems dead, so he can pay less... and, then, turn it back to life to a normal use...

Make a note of your current radio version. Enter tricolor bootloader, connect with MTTY and type "task 2a" followed by enter. You can later recover with FrankenKaiser.

Great thread about Rom development it is.
If its a Tilt tell them that part of it doesnt work like you intended it to, like the camera doesnt always turn on, or it doesnt always awnser calls. Then after they tell you to reset and w/e DEMAND a new one. They have to replace your device if it is still under warranty.

Is it not obvious from the OP? Your battery will last 3x longer. Or more.
all is not very conclusive 2GHZ overclock? WHAT?
3 hours more battery? WHY?
a little more light on what it does or close the thread... sorry
Guys, this video should help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pk6gvBPMa4
200 MB more RAM????
and the last twitter message (if you click on the link follow on twitter) says "you have to pull the battery after it has done its work to finish it"...
seriously, that doesn't sound healthy at all.... besides, if you just understand which buttons to press simultaneously (e.g. power while holding volume down to go into bootloader, etc.), you NEVER have to pull the battery....

I'm not really sure how long you've been around, but I wouldn't just suggest crap.
Some of the other reports of features are incorrect, but this app definitely makes using ADB much easier for you. You don't even need a computer.

pls. enlighten us, what's this app do then?

My power button is acting up. When in the ROM it doesn't work completely. When I take out my battery and put it back in, it powers up by itself. ANy ideas? Will take it to the service this weekend? Any idea if it's just the button that's messed up or something more important?
Also, when on the lockscreen, sometimes, the touch buttons light up by themselves. Only those it seems..

This is a common problem of the Nexus S. Take it to your neareset samsung service center. The temporary solution is to set your volume rocker as the wake-up button, then Nexus Root Toolkit for shutdown/reboot/recovery.

I took it to an official samsung service center near my place while on a custom 4.2.1 rom. They didn't touch the software so i don't think you need to put stock on it, unless you're claiming warranty.

Yea, I'd like to claim warranty. They told me it's a motherboard problem so it should be pretty expensive to repair. I'm wondering if it's possible to relock the bootloader AND flash a stock ROM with a power button that's pressed all the time. Any idea?

Last night I noticed my power button sometimes would not lock my screen on my phone. Even when it would, it would lock and quickly bring the screen back on. Even sometimes occasionally I would press the button once quickly and the power off/reboot menu would appear. This morning I found a tab for my quick settings panel that puts the phone into sleep and have been using it all day. This has been a real pita. Now my phone as I am using it randomly sleeps and then brings up the power menu. Is there any way to replace the power button? I found barely anything on YouTube on this and and not sure if it is an easy or hard fix. For now, is there an app that I can disable my power button so my phone does not make me rage?
-Thanks

You can buy a power button, but replacing it ...you need skill and tool (not recommend for an average user). Try to bang the button on a hard plastic surface like washer/dryer surface. A number of people reported success with this method.(this is real, not a joke),

I have to test it out first, but I think I can disable the power button, however, it's only a work around, you need to replace the button for a permanent solution. If under warranty, it's the best way to go.

I recently got myself a free Galaxy S6 in topaz blue 32GB version. It was missing a battery so I put one in and it surprisingly seemed to work, well until some stuff started showing on the screen.
Unfortunately, the phone seems it can't mount any partitions whatsoever. Upon booting I get various messages about not being to able open or mount partitions, which unfortunately means I can't access the recovery menu. Have tried installing many different original softwares from various carriers but nothing seems to work. One thing which I did get working is TWRP, I managed to install it via odin, but now all the different storages show up as 0MB, tried various tips from youtube but none seem to work. I can push files to it via ADB but none can install due to no partitions being able to be mounted. I can't even wipe any partitions via odin. I'm starting to suspect the device probably had the storage encrypted somehow.
I've given up all hopes now , can someone please help me? Is there even any help for my device?
First off you should never have even rooted this device. When u root a device it voids all warranty. Second have you tried buying a different battery.

To my knowledge, the device wasn't rooted as stated by the previous owner when I went to pick it up, and right now it is using a 1 year old battery so I don't think that's an issue.
