I have a Galaxy S2 (Android) which has a reboot function. This thing does not have it?
What do you mean? Like something to reboot it? Try pushing and holding down the power button till it reboot.
If you flash any cyanogenmod9 based rom you can reboot from software, but seriously, is it that hard to reach for the power button? xD
hmmm
There are several reboot apps/widgets in the Google Play Store. Do some searches and try to find one you like.
Fast Reboot Pro has many useful functions.

Did you know you could restart your android without having to install any app or via any modded rom?
And its so damn simple..
All you need to do is ...
Hold the volume(+) button and the power(i/o) button for 5 seconds and your phone will reboot.
If you didn't already know this then hitting the thanks button is much appriciated.
didn't work for me on EVO3D , RomeOS, maybe because of htc sense features
Just hold power button for 10 seconds and then the phone will restart.
I'm on Epic 4g and no luck for me either.. tried both ways

This only works on select models. This is not an OS feature but a hardware one.
Hi all, here's the qn.
Does pressing and holding: HOME KEY+VOLUME UP* KEY+POWER BUTTON, cause any wiping of the apps and things necessary for apps to run?
I'm suspecting this as after pressing and holding this combo keys on the G3 mod start up screen, Firstly, boot animation restarts itself repeatedly until I got no patience and killed my phone instantly with the power button, Secondly, after a 183s of boot time, errors of apps (not system apps) kept popping up and the most baffling part is that some of these apps that suffered errors did not show up in the 'manage apps' settings. Thirdly, apps installed on sd card are totally wiped off and parts of the internal apps that remained are gone since they force closes after initiating it.
However, I reinstalled the apps and everything work normally now except for longer booting time and some sudden shut downs, which might be due to my battery.
I have not seen any posts on this problem and I'm really curious about this combo keys which I pressed accidentally.
For additional info, I'm on arakmar latest kernel. And running hercolubus rom.
Could it be a secret 'apps removal' combo key designed by arakmar?

Uhhh no it doesn't do anything :/. If you pressed it correctly a screen should come up saying 'forced upload by key pressing' or something like that. I have no idea how you got to your situation

So pressing home+volume up+power key gives an upload screen? And what if I had the usb connected and did that? What exactly does it upload? Sorry I'm abit confused.

I don't know if I discovered a new thing or this is already a feature but, here it is.
Since I first time using this phone about early 2012, sometimes, my phone reboots itself when I take it out of my pocket. Sometimes, it reboots while in my pocket.
Today, I was facebooking in landscape mode(for the first time, cuz i hate landscape mode), I accidently pressed the home key+volume down and it reboots!(Using CM10a3) Tried it again and the phone reboot again.
The question is, is pressing both keys are a shortcut to reboot or its a phone failure and is it exist in stock rom or cm only?
If you can try, please reply with your rom. Especially if you have explanation to this.

First, check my signature for my phone setup.
Secondly, I just tried home button+vol down(in landscape mode), no reboots.
FYI, The only shortcut which I know for reboot is power button+home button.
Did you overclock ur phone?
Sorry, cat see your sig cuz im on mobile.
OC? Yeah. Revolution Kernel. 300-1200. SmartassV2 governor.
Sent by my Galaxy $
Tried it again just now with 300-1000 conservative, the default one but still reboots when pressed both at the same time. I don't hold one of the button and press another. I pressed them both at the same time.
My phone have exactly the same Rom, governor, clock speed and mods as yours in your sig.(exept task manager mod)

This random reboot happened since you first use the phone? even without flashing or modding?
I just confirmed that it works. I'm on cm10 a4. It DOES reboot when you press volume down+home button. I'm not overclocked.

Yes but its not random actually. After that day those reboots happen,(the early 2012) no reboots ever happen. I think maybe i accidentally pressed the keys by mistake that time. I was riding motorcycle in long range. thats when it happen. The next day and forth, no more reboots. It happens when i press both keys.

This is old trick, even in stock rom.
Yes this is reboot short cut.

Yes, it's a shortcut for reboot.
But need to press and hold home button first before pressing vol down button.
No wonder why it didn't reboot just now.
Thought that I can mess up with the sequence.

It's a key combo to force a crash, a kernel feature.
This should be what does it if I'm not wrong (it's not happening to me and I unset SAMSUNG_KERNEL_DEBUG_USER in my kernel)
EDIT:
Good or bad you might ask. I don't know, I didn't like it and disabled it. Surely it's not a normal reboot.
And yes, you need to build a new kernel to disable it.
Seemingly out of the blue earlier today, both my home button and recent apps button stopped working properly. The home button works when the phone is locked to wake, and fingerprint sensor unlocks, but when the screen is on it is useless. The recent apps button lights up and vibrates when touched, but does nothing. Anyone else experience this problem?

Try going to recovery mode and wipe cache.

A recently installed App must be causing this. Wipe the cache and if it doesn't help try in Safe mode.
Going to safe mode:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold the volume down button and then press the power button till the homescreen boots up.
If the issue doesn't happen in safe mode, try uninstalling the recent apps you have installed to save yourself from doing a factory reset.
Cheers:good:

Wiping the cache and safe mode didn't do it. I also went through the play store recently added/updated apps and removed them. That did not do anything either. So I ended up going through with a factory reset and that did the trick. The problem occurred around the time I installed a pair of apps from the Galaxy Apps store. I installed the Car Mode and the Soundboard apps. I went in an uninstalled them, but there may have been something extra installed with the Car Mode app that was still causing issues. In any event, thanks for the suggestions and to anyone in the future, just stay away from the Galaxy App store. We all know there really isn't anything worthwhile in there anyway.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.
I have the exact same problem right now! The home and revents button are useless. I installed car mode and deleted it because it didn't want to start on my galaxy sy edge+...
Just encountered the same problem with my S7, factory reset fixed it. For anyone else that encounters this problem and finds their way here: it was Car Mode that caused this problem, DO NOT INSTALL IT. Thank you for creating this thread.
For some reason when I try to type fast many times it won't register certain letters and it's horrible and annoying. Idk why it's doing this. I used to be able to type so fast. I'm using SwiftKey. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and It still blows. I feel like throwing this phone out the window.

Hey dude, calm down! This might be a very simple cause behind this issue. Have you tried the following?
1. Clearing the Cache of Swift Key app? (Settings>applications>swiftkey>clear cache)
2. Does the issue persist even with the stock keyboard?
3. Clear the system cache partition of the phone. (Power off phone, then press Power+Vol Up+home buttons simultaneously, then in the recovery mode, select clear cache partition by using volume keys to navigate and power button to select it. Then, Reboot.)
4. Try resetting the app preferences. (Settings>Apps> Menu button at right top> reset app preferences)
If all these fails, take a backup and factory reset the phone.
Cheers :good:
Try the Google keyboard?
