I thought I saw this somewhere... But what I read about it was it was similar to doing a factory reset, doesn't actually reflash anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Vol- & power will do a hard reset when you still have stock recovery.

So has anyone been daring enough to try this? Lol

Yups, my first G2x was experiencing major reboots so I did a factory reset via vol down + power. didn't help lol. Didn't want to wait for an OTA update to fix the issue so I opt to exchange it and my current one now works like it should

the thread says vol. down, HOME and power. is that what you did?

I believe it pops up the stock recovery menu and goes into verbose mode while the phone is doing a factory reset. The stock recovery menu is useless since you can't actually select anything.

volume down and power will hard reset if you font flash nvflash.

Didn't read thoroughly, my bad. its without the HOME key. I don't think the capacitive keys work when the phone is off lol.
If planning to do so, backup prior! Otherwise it shouldnt be necessary...don't do what you don't know your doing just cuz everyone else is doing it lol

Vol. Down and Power gives me a screen that says "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." And it never does anything. I had gotten a boot loop (hadn't even considered rooting yet) so I pulled the battery and booted up, I guess my finger had been on volume down. Still does that, and it never changes. Just stays like that. If I pull the battery, I get a boot loop again. What the hell D: Should I call up customer care?

It will force the phone to shut down. I did it couple times when my lock screen froze.

Simply holding power will force the phone to shut down.
Power and volume down format on stock or recovery if nvflashed
I don't think home is necessary or used at all.

Random restarts.

I get 1-2 reboots a day. A couple lock ups happen too. Anyone else? Is it normal?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

It's definitely not normal. Try wiping fresh and installing only necessary apps then test again. If the issue persists trade it in for a new Infuse.

Problem with restarts had been referred to SD cards. It is not always relevant, as such behaviour used to happen even on card-free phones. My problems started just after update to Mango, what made phone practically unusable.
I tried and seems succesfully solved problem in following way:
- connect phone to Zune
- click on phone, then settings
- choose RESERVED SPACE position
- change with slider from default 1% to 20%
- apply, disconnect
My phone, with Micro SD, stopped crazy behaviour, f.ex. during making photo, using apps. So far so good.
So maybe, either Samsung or MS had screwed up default settings of phone and use of ROM/RAM upon processes.
Solution can be applicable to Focus S and Omnia 7 too.
Good luck!

Freeze in reboot/ poweroff

Is anybody else having an issue where the phone freezes when trying to reboot or power off? I have wiped all caches and even restored may nandroid backup that was all stock and was getting the same issue. I did not see anything in any of the other ics post. I am not getting any force closes and I have tried repairing permissions. It just does the same thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Everything's working great for me, with the lone exception that when I go to shut down it gets stuck and I need to pull the battery if I intend to power off completely, or hold down the power button for ten seconds or so to reboot the phone.

I think almost everyone is having this issue.

Thanks guys it was working fine. I guess its a small price to pay to have ics.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

When I first flashed ICS, without doing a factory reset afterward, I was able to shut down properly. Then I read in the forum that to fix the locking issue, I needed to do a factory reset. So I did. And after that, nothing worked quite right, and I get stuck during shut down.
So, I reflashed ICS, did factory reset 3 times immediately afterward. Now everything is working fine, including shut down.
YMMV

I am rooted 4.0.3 stock.
No problems with the power menu.
Strange. I'm just lucky, huh?

I am in the same boat. The superuser zip also flashed no errors first time.

I didn't have the issue at first but it started randomly. Kinda annoying but I guess I'll deal because everything else works fine.

Same problem for a lot of people.
In the meantime you can use this app to reboot and shutdown. Works like a charm.

Also holding down the power button about 10 seconds or so will also reboot your phone.

Skyrocket NOT shutting off

I seem to have a strange problem. My Skyrocket does not want to stay off. I power down the phone, and it comes back up on its own immediately. I've tried this with and without charger connected. I had this problem on Embryo 5.4, and now also on 6.1. Right now, my only option when I need the phone to stay off (like when traveling by air, which I do often) is to take the battery out. The second I put the battery back in, the phone boots up.
Could anyone help me out here?
I tried searching the forum for similar issues, but could not find any. But in case I've missed a thread, feel free to start the flaming .
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like a sticky power button

Stuck power button. It's a known issue on the skyrocket. There are a number of threads on how to clean it. Search stuck power button on the i727.

Nope.. would happen at any battery level! Turned out to be a sticky button issue after all... just tapped it a few times & (touch-wood) problem solved!:victory:

App still draining battery after uninstalled?

I have been using the app tweetcaster and it started to drain my battery, maybe off an update or something. So I uninstalled it and downloaded another twitter app, fine and dandy. Only thing is I checked my stats and com.handmark.tweetcaster is still draining my battery!! This is absolutely murdering my battery life! Any help would be awesome, thanks.

Keep that screen up and plug your charger in and then disconnect it. Plug it back in and see if its still there.

Weird. Try clearing your cache.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

The only thing I can think of, if clearing the cache doesn't work is that it did not uninstall correctly. Try going to your Settings -> Apps and swipe over to All. make sure that process doesn't exist in that list. It sounds like it did not uninstall correctly somehow.

Have you charged your phone to full since then? The battery stats aren't cleared until a nearly full charge. That's why it is still showing.

That is bizarre. You could try clearing cache as others suggested? Are you running stock or custom recovery?

El daddy's post is correct. The app is not still draining battery.
The graph shows battery usage for 10 hours.
If that app had shown 40% after 5 hours and your battery had gone down to 75%. You uninstalled it at 5 hours. If your battery was at 50% after 10 hours It would still show as 20% after 10 hours. Even though you uninstalled it 5 hours previously.
Just charge your phone back up to full which will trigger a reset on the usage calculator. All should be fine after that

To clear the cache partition:
Turn your phone off.
Hold volume down and power, this will boot you into the bootloader.
Scroll to recovery using the volume keys and select recovery using the power button.
It will boot into recovery and you'll see an android laying on its back. Press and hold power, then immediately press volume up and let go of both. (it may take a few tries as it's tricky to get right. If you can't get it in time, the phone will reboot and you'll have to start over)
Once the menu opens, choose clear cache partition. It will wipe cache and the phone should reboot automatically.
The boot up will take more time as usual as the OS re-builds cache.
Hopefully this helps. I'm not sure it will work because I've never seen an uninstalled app drain battery, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Okay cool thanks. I use to ROM and everything when I had a captivate, and galaxy s 2, but this phone is so polished and smooth stock I never saw the point to. Didn't know I could get into recovery without being rooted with a custom recovery installed. I'll do this when my phone charges to about 50%, its basically dead right now
