Reboot and poweroff by software

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

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.

Swype offical beta open!!

Everyone head to beta.swype.com to register, and they email it to you! it's amazing.

For real. Got mine just an hour or so ago. It is so much better then the hacked version. Auto caps ftw.

Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too

It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

Thanks apparently i searched for the wrong thing haha.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.

Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I've been waiting forever for this!

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

PM sent. thanks for responding.

Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.

i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing

Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

[NO ROOT][DEV] IncredibleTorch

I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).
6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think ) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root).
Change log:
Alpha rev1 - Initial release

Known bugs:
You can't use the camera after running this and can only use it once! (until you've rebooted, it's not permanent )

Download APK
Download src.tar.gz because who doesn't love open source?

Wow. Good job dude. I know its finicky but you usually only need the flash light to stay on. Oh well on the reboot to turn off. You'll figure it out. Really good job man.

Woo hoo, at least one person likes it! I've only gotten put down or no replies elsewhere. haha
I know this isn't fantastic or anything, but it's better than nothing in my eyes.

anything that helps the community is always appreciated. So ty very mucho

Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.
I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.
I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.
Thanks for trying anyways

That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.
But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob.
Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.

werd ~!~ 10 more

thanks for trying on the app though! it just confirms that I need to get root on me phone! I dont know why ppl would bash your for contributing..fail/succeed..we all benefit. It's only from attempts that we learn how things work..im sure anyone in root dev can confirm that!

Ok I will make it. It will take a few days though because I have other work. I will not be able to make it PC by myself but if I can find a tester then I might be able to. But I am doing Mac first.

Most definitely, that would be great! PC here, if possible.

He's offering to unlock too. Most of the one-click apps I've seen only root (or fix lag.)

Yes there is a one click root and a one click unlock. But that requires two steps. I am making a program that does it in ONE step. That is the difference.

well then, ignore and carry on!

I am done with it but I have one more question. Is there an option when you boot the phone with another carriers SIM to go in NO SIM mode if you are not unlocked?
I can't test this because I am already unlocked. Also if anyone would like to test my app that would be great.

I wouldn't worry about that too much.
I would go ahead and release whatever you've done, and let the users test it out for you...
Good luck, and thanks for your effort..

Thanks for this..
I think I have already done these mods over the course of having my phone.
But, thanks for developers like you for all the work.
I might look into what you have done.
I too am a mac guy.
Although, I do not know about coding and all that.

Have A GS6 on hand. How can I help root?

Hey guess I recently got a hold of a GS6 and would like to help the development in creating a way for root access. Im not very familiar on what is needed to begin rooting development but I'd like to help as much as I can.
Let me know

Yup, you'll have to do a system dump, probably need to unlock boot loader etc, but chainfire is someone you'll want to reach out to.

What carrier or is it international brand? AT&T and Verizon have locked the bootloaders in the past making it hard to root!
Also can you show some of the theme changer in the settings, thanks.

Any screenshots yet regarding battery life? =)

It will be good for us, thanks!

When you get around to posting battery life screenshots can you make sure to post screen on time, brightness level, and what you used the phone for so that the number are more meaningful.

Nah, is normal

Yeah sorry I hadnt had a chance to get on XDA and respond. Battery life to be complete honest I am demoing the device 24/7 and so far on hard usage i'm getting 6-7 hours. But thats with the phone on full brightness and pushing the phone to its limits. Tomorrow I will be able to provide accurate battery life i will a free day and will be able to see how long it last without demoing it all the time.
I will so provide screen shots of my battery from yesterday and a screen shot from today.
Thanks for putting in contact with the right people I will contact them and do a system dump and hopefully get this started.

Maybe you can post sot time

Can you upload its Firmware? So we can extract some interesting stuff?
thanks

Yeah, screen on time (SOT) is the only battery metric that means anything to me.

You guys are so wrong on that one.
SOT is probably the worst way to tell a phones battery life.
Were Bluetooth, Locations and other things on? Screen brightness? What apps installed? What was on the screen? A web page? Gaming? (remember this is amoled and darks are easier than whites too).
This really needs to stop because it seems to have spread to a point where more and more people are calling this a metric when it's not.
There are way too many unknown factors that will greatly effect SOT.

He right. We need all the info not just SOT.
