[Q] *S.O.S* Stuck in the market with screen ON !FIXED!

So Im running Prime1.5 with clemsyns OC kern..
I go into the market and started dl'n some apps and all of a sudden the screen freezes and it wont turn off no matter what i do..
I tried connect via adb to perform a reboot command, and it wont connect..
So Im stuck with my screen on, almost full battery and Asus TF is froze..
Do i just play the waitin game and let the battery drain and turn off so that i can reboot it? or what are my options??
Has anyone ever ran in to this??
Please help.. I had LG Gslate and this happened once and there was a reset button next to the sim slot.. NOT the case here unfortunately
BTW: I did search first and only came up with "stuck in boot"

It may sound silly...but have you tried to hold the power button for a good 10-15secs (or a little longer) ?

[Q] Power Settings

I've been searching for awhile now...
I have disabled my lock screen. Now the problem I'm having is the phone wakes with any of my hard buttons. Does anybody know how to disable the phone waking with any button other than power?
Thanks!

Well what phone/OS are you using? I'm pretty sure cyanogen has options for that, but everything is slightly different on each different phone and OS.

How to Disable ICS bugfix/bugreport?

Hi, everyone. I always accidentally press my NS' power + volume up buttons, which activates the bugfix/bugreport email window.
Is there any way to safely disable this feature?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to ask, but what? You mean you press them when powering up the phone? If not, could you post a screenshot?

Yes, I accidentally press them when powering on or off my NS. Try holding the power and volume up buttons. Your NS will vibrate and bring up your default email app and compose a bugfix/bugreport email for you.

Exactly what I am searching online for. I always get the sharing options appear out of nowhere and only realise that it is trying to send a bug report.
After some extended searching, I finally knew how it was activated. By pressing Volume up + Volume down + power button, you will feel a vibration after a second or so, that's when the bug reporting initiated.

However, I have no idea how to disable it. It become very annoying especially when waking up the phone from sleep and you find that your device is lagging because of the bug report generation.
Any help?

Turn off USB debugging.

The solution that I've found, without turning off USB debugging, is renaming the file "bugmailer.sh" (to something like "bugmailer.sh-backup"), which is found in /system/bin.
P.S. For me, I need USB debugging turned on, because it is required by Titanium Backup, which I often use. If you don't need USB debugging turned on all the time, you could just turn it off, like Uni7 posted, and it'll also solve this issue.

You shouldn't need USB debugging for TB on any new rom. From official FAQ:
40. Why does Titanium Backup demand that the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) be enabled? I don't develop on my phone and don't want this.
The only reason is that on some ROMs, earlier versions of Superuser (the app that grants root privileges) didn't work properly if ADB (USB debugging) was disabled. This is why I added the warning at startup.
Nowadays, on most ROMs you can leave USB debugging disabled in your phone settings and also disable that warning in Titanium Backup. The option is: MENU -> Preferences -> "Warn if no USB debug".

Thanks for the info, it works! Never know it's the USB Debugging option, guess I never explore deep enough.

Same here on my Galaxy Nexus...anyone eager to help us out?

I have the same problem. HELP

This is a manual bug report triggered by pressing both volume keys and the power button at the same time. It will vibrate once when you do it and then it takes a good minute or two for it to compile the report. The phone will then vibrate 3 times quickly when the report is ready, but only if the phone is awake and unlocked. So, for example, if you hit the power button to check the time and happen to press all three buttons or your TPU case (just an example) is holding down your volume buttons, then it will trigger then. You won't actually see the results until the next time you unlock the device. They are addressed to your default email address unless your ROM developer adds an email to them. Obviously being stock this would not be the case.
If you want to get rid of this feature, go to /system/bin and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak or delete it. Then reboot and no more bugmailer.

I should add that in addition to the way mentioned above that will completely disable it, disabling USB debugging should also disable it in 4.0.4.

Lost LED backlight for home/menu/back/search buttons

Running cm7 and having problems with the soft key LED backlight. Sometimes they are on, sometimes they are not. Sometimes when i turn on the phone they are on, after I unlock they turn off after a few seconds. Nothing I do can turn them back on after they turn off but they will turn back on randomly. Is this common? Is this a warranty issue?

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've had that problem on all AOSP roms. Though luckily CM7 has an option to fix it. I believe it's under CyanogenMod settings and backlight settings. I don't quite remember. I'll have to check and let you know exactly.
Go to CM settings and then to Display. Select automatic backlight, scroll down and check use custom. You're going to go into edit other levels and in the right column you'll see buttons. The default is 30 and if you change the value higher you'll increase the button backlight and they'll stop randomly coming on.

That worked perfectly! I never would have thought to even look there. Thanks a

Does it do this in complete darkness? A lot of roms (or maybe it's kernel settings, or both) use the light sensor to turn off the soft key lights when it's bright enough to see them but when you're in poor or no light, they stay on. It should save you battery and I actually like it.
Think the first rom I used was gingeritis and it had this feature and thought my soft key lights were burning out.
If you already know this or if it was happening in darkness, then ignore my post. Maybe some dust got in your sensor?

It was dark enough that I couldn't read the writing on the soft keys so of figured something was up but I figured it out. Thanks

Re help with galaxy tab 2 power button !

help with samsung galaxy tablet 2 power button !
*Hi guys*I'm finally making the move and have bought a Samsung galaxy tablet 2 for my bmw e46 dash but have found a problem and wondered if any of you guys have a work around for it ?As you know the power button is on the edge of the tablet externally so once it's installed behind the dash you can't push it to either lock the screen or take it out of sleep mode and also it doesn't matter have a proximity to sensor built in etc*Any idea how I can press this power button while it's behind the dash either by the touchscreen using an app or another way that anybody can think of cause I'm stuck ??*So help ppl**

I've read some people use an app called TASKER to set it so that when they crank the car (giving the tablet power thru the charger) the screen comes on and stays on till its turned off. maybe check more into that?

use a custom rom with volume key waking up option.

If he won't have access to his power button after mounting the tablet in the dash, he probably won't have access to the volume buttons either.
here is a thread from another site where a guy put a nexus 7 into the dash of his vette http://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-electronics/1584175-c6-android-tablet-stereo-dash-install.html

If your'e thinking about doing a hardware mod , Try AdamOutler (XDA TV) He does some pretty cool stuff and may offer some solid advice. Knows his stuff thats for sure.
XDA unboxing /tutorial Adam Outler style
Guess you could move the power button onto the dash itself if the device is getting built into it as a permanent fixture ? Not that id have a clue how to do that lol.

Not making any mod to the tab: You may mount a solenoid, http://www.solenoidcity.com/solenoid/solenoidcatalog.htm on the dash to actuate the switch. Will require some mechanical / electrical skill to accomplish the job..

fixed?
did you ever find a solution.. I have the same car and the same issue
Thanks!

Thing is you can easily get apps from store to
1.lock screen
2.turn off tab
3.toggle volume
But real problem comes with turning on tab...
Though you can turn on tab from sleep via some apps called smartawake and others(believe of there are lot of them on play)
By these apps you can turn on tab using proximity sensor(it will work),vibrations
But for instance when your tab gets off you have to press power button.
That can be done by pressing in physically or a hardware hack(you got to open up your tab and do stuff with your power buttons.like providing external switch to it etc)

Hey guys I am having a similar problem with my galaxy tab install in the car. I come out in the morning and the tablet is dead. I am currently charging it via usb but was planning on putting a power inverter in the glove box for faster charging (maybe?) What I would really like to do is to be able to extend the power button leads to an external button that I can mount in the dash. Anyone done this before or have any suggestions?

Someone recommended Tap Tap App (lock and unlock the screen with a double tap on the proximity sensor) around here. I've tried it and it works.

Yea that would work for turning the screen on and off, but im talking about if the tablet dies completely. It will be getting charge when I turn the car back on but I wouldn't be able to turn the tablet back on itself because I can't get to the power button.

Your Tab will boot into charge mode. Maybe you can change the init script logic: if boot into charge mode, wait a minute, and then reboot into normal mode.

There are some changes that can be made to the kernel to boot the os when powering the tablet. I had this behavior on my lgp500 as a bug on cm builds. To keep the display on you can check keep display on during charging.

I'll try. But now I am so tired, back from my real work duty. A short break after driving my car for about 3 hours, 1 hour from home 3.49AM here

Just to over simplify the first thing that came too my mind was a knob with an off set round plug on the other side...turn the knob you push the button..
