I use CWM that you get after you root your phone.
quick boot
I hold down the power button for 2sec to get the shutdown menu and if I hold it for more than 5sec it will reboot... I don't see why I need an app for that
anreboot: reboot, recovery, bootloader, off options

i'd rather press soft keys
If you don't have a rooted phone try 'Fast Reboot'.
Although it does not close the device down it closes all Apps freeing up resources, memory and resets the phone if it has any errors.
Read the reviews... Many swear by it and I find it actually works very well.

I have tried, but it won't reboot, just switch off.

Strange... It should reboot. Are you rooted or changed the stock firmware?
Quick boot does what you want by the sound of it. Free version on market.
Can set short cuts up as well if you don't want to go into the app itself.
Although for any app to trigger reboot you need root.

Hold volume up and home buttons and power up to boot to recovery.
I did not discover this, just found it buried in a thread somewhere and thought it should have higher visibility.
Awesome find. Thanks!
Great job

Yes, for some reason CWM is not recognizing the button mappings. It is on my TO-DO list

I hold the volume up and home key and then power till the samsung logo comes on, then release power. About 5 sec later I release volume up and home and it boots to CWR.
Hope this helps

If you scroll through the menu 3x it will enable go back. Once you select an option it will show up on the menu
Thanks OP for this info. Was able to test on a friend's Charge and it worked. Scrolling through the menu 3x also enabled the Go Back option in the menu.

Alright, I currently have a HTC Aria running CM9, I was going to purchase an HTC One X from AT&T. However, I have one question. If I root it, and the device begins to bootloop or hangs for any reason, how will I stop it? I wouldn't be able to remove the battery....
reboot to recovery by manual, n do reset.. hehe

How would you go about that? Just power button and down volume button? Sorry, on my current phone the volume is broke, so I have to do it through CWM

also you can push power button for 10 seconds or more, with a bit of luck phone will turn off.
But after that you still need volume button ...
I understand now, I didn't realize that there was a kill switch and that after holding the power button down for 10 seconds, the device turns off.
Hello falks..
my HTC one x phone won't respond ..
this happened when I maybe disabled one of the system features by the Carot app ..
Now when I open the phone, I get a BLANK screen .. and I can't access any of the phone features .. and when I press the power button, it just restart and the same thing happen again and again.
I couldn't upgrade the system through my computer, because when I plug it, it says CHARGE only ! and I can't change it.

Can you get into TWRP?
Hold the power button for ~10-15 seconds (lights should start flashing) and hold down volume down.
You can let go of power when you see the HTC screen, but not volume down

What ROM were you on? I suggest reflashing the ROM.
don't forget to flash the boot.img, then the ROM

So I'm trying to go into my camera settings and every time I do, it closes and goes back to where you would take a picture. I have tried to clear my cache, restart my phone. Nothing seems to work
Has anyone experienced this issue and if so how do you fix it? I have the TMobile version of the s8

Turn the device off. Turn device on and then. Press and hold the volume down button when you see only SAMSUNG logo hold until you see Safe Mode.

It works in safe mode but not regular mode. Must be one of the apps I installed that is interfering with it.
Go to your Settings Icon (open) and scroll down to Developer options (open) and then scroll down to: Do not keep activities - (turn it off). Now open your Camera, click on the settings icon... it will stay open and you can now fully use CAMERA SETTINGS.
Good evening guys,
I post here my problem, to not open another topic:
I flashed latest "G950FXXU6DSK9", TWRP, "no verity encrypt" and Magisk.
When I use TItanium backup to delete some apps (probably Samsung's file manager or Chrome) the camera crash.
Ex. Opening the camera app, or trying via Whatsapp, screen its totally black with only the buttons of the camera.
The phone works fine now, but I want to know what should be the problem, if its caused by deleting apps or its caused by TWRP or rootin procedure not compatible with the current firmware.
Thank you for reading it and sorry for my bad english
Can't select anything with the power button, can't force reset it with holding the power button, and I don't know what to do.
you'd better not lock the bootloader. If your device is not totally stock this will brick your device. EDL is the only way to restore then.

you can force shutdown by pressing vol up + power button for a while until screen goes black or just keep pressing if you want to reboot
