Two quick questions...
I was wondering if there is anyway to turn off the orange led while the phone is charging.
I also had a question about the capacitive buttons led turning off with the screen dim or with a certain time of touch inactivity.
Just an annoyance I have while I'm in the dock mode at night.. very distracting .
Thanks !

By hard reset you mean restart of system and all apps?
Settings > Power > Fastboot > Disable
Switch off, Switch on
Voila!
Yes but I'm talking as if the phone is froze how can you hard reset with out a battery pull ?

Ideally, if any process has stopped responding, you can come back to the home screen by pressing the home button.
It is a very rear situation where the phone freezes & this usually happens due to unstable overclocks. How to come out of it, I have no idea, sorry mate.

I think you mean restarting when its frozen right? To do that press vol+ vol- and power simultaneously for some seconds, it should hard reboot.
My power button seems to have busted, is there a way I can boot my phone using ADB or Fastboot or some other command line interface?
Thank you!

I'm pretty sure it's fixable.. either through warranty or a repair shop, unless you just want a new phone

Have you tried tap tap app? I think you can turn on phone with this app without the power button. You should check it out. It's in the play store .I really hope it helps. Best wishes

Hi,
A new back cover might do the trick.
There is also "Sweep-to-wake" if you can get it going.
I was using swiptowake but my battery die, after I charged the phone I don't have a way to power on the phone back, I try to fix the contact of the power but no luck.

You said the battery died....have you left it plugged in for several hours since?
On the stock rom and firmware, there's a goofy feature (well I think its' goofy anyway) that prevents the phone from booting until the battery has recharged back to something like 30% after it drains all the way. No amount of pushing the power button will get it started until the battery charges some, and it will have the same symptoms as being a broken power button.
If you've already confirmed that the battery is charged and the power button is broke, nevermind. I just want to make sure this doesn't have a really simple cure first before you go trying the tough stuff.

Hello,
Like others have said on this post. How did you break the power switch? If it's only the chrome plated button that fell off then simply buy another battery cover on Ebay. The real switch is actually on the phone body underneath the button, so chances are that it is still intact. Now as someone else has stated and this happened to me a few times already, if you allow the battery to drain completely, you will not be able to turn the phone on even when plugged in. Just leave the phone to charge for an hour or so then try to turn the phone on. Otherwise just buy another battery.
Best of Luck
Phone details:
Samsung galaxy sl GT-I9003
stock rom DDLF2
Stock kernel
No root
No OC
Details of the issue:
i charged my phone overnight and when i turned it on,it came upto the samsung screen and the screen vanished and it hasnt been able to boot up since,i tried to drain the battery overnight but that didnt seem to help either,its stuck at this blank screen.
I tried reinstalling the battery too but the phone would automatically start up,i could manage to enter the download mode for like 3 secs ,i connected it to my pc via USB but it recognized it but couldnt install the drivers in such a short time,odin doesnt recognise it either
Here is what happened when i took it to the samsung service centre:
The service guy there told me that the hardware is perfectly normal and he checked it infront of me,he told me that the charging pin is slightly damaged but the phone charges without any issues,software couldnt be analyzed but the last time i checked it had the value pack DDLF2 installed so i dont think that would be the problem.The guy told me that the charger pin is connected to the motherboard and may prevent the kernel from booting which i think is just too DUMB even as an excuse .The phone automatically tries to turn on without me pressing the power key when i insert the battery.
I need help PLEASEEE
Thanks in advance
I think it's hardware-based problem. Better check it to legitimate samsung service center.

I cant flash any firmware,the screen fades away before odin can establish a decent connection
If the phone is getting automatically on there is some problem with the power button its pressed too much and I think the phone is restarting because there maybe some loose connection between your battery and the phone

if your phone automatically tries to power on as soon as you insert battery then it might be your Power button problem...
btw lets just consider this case.. what happens when your phone(battery inserted) is connected to charger... how does the screen behaves and what you see on the screen?

The service centre guy tried the power button as a few times and fixed it up by disassembling the device
When i connect the phone with battery into the charging port it behaves in the same manner ,it would automatically turn on and the screen logo (Samsung ....) would then disapper and there would be a blank screen in its place for like ever till it charges (i cant really tell when its charged)

I am facing a problem as my power button is suddenly not working and I am sure the phone did not undergo any physical disturbance to have this problem. Also my capactive lights don't work and then blink when I boot the phone.
I am running ViperS 3.1.0. Any suggestions to fix the issue? Please guide me through if anything can be done.

Hey,
The power button does take a fairly longer press to bring up the power menu...I am experiencing that too..
But other than that the power button is working fine...to lock the screen...and to bring up the bootloader when switched off

No it is not the problem. It was fine this morning but suddenly the problem is appearing, I don't know why this is happening.
Also the Capacitive button lights don't work this was not the case before on ViperS

Nothing I did to disturb the power button. Also when I pull the battery and put it in again the phone just starts by itself without having to press the power button.

When you're in Android, does pressing the power button not turn the screen off/on? Does the power button respond at all in any situation?
Since putting the battery in is causing the phone to power on without pressing the power button, I wonder if the power button is stuck on. When you put battery in and power up, what happens if you hold volume down button? Does it go to bootloader?
