ok so i've had conflicting answers telling me;
1. not possible
2. it's the kernel
3. it's the rom
i need to power on my galaxy tab 2 (7) from fully off when charging starts (it has a cable constantly plugged in but it needs to boot up to the os (instead of the charging icon) when the power is applied.
what do i need to do this?
what controls this function?
Chainfire had an app (NoMoarPowah!) that let you manually hit a restart button on screen (this is fine) but since ics; the only function i need from the app (power on via the touch of the screen) doesn't work.
I've contacted Chainfire to see if he will update the app but no response.
I have no access to the hard buttons on my tablet which is why I need this feature. I can't use sleep mode because if the phone ever dies or runs out of battery while the charging is off i wont be able to turn it back on
is there some alternative i can do?

I honesty don't know how to describe my problem so I guess I will just tell you whats happening and what I know about my phone.
My phone:
Unlocked Verizon Galaxy S3 running CM for recovery, and CyanogenMod 10 for the ROM (Updated with Odin from Jelly Bean).
The issue:
1) Whenever I press the power button the phone completely shuts off. It doesn't just go to the lock screen, it turns off.
2) The phone will not always turn back on.
3) 85% of the time when it doesn't turn on, it boots into the first splash screen and turns off.
4) When I try to put the phone into download or recovery mode the first screen will pop up for about two seconds and then the phone will turn off again. The phone will either shut down on the cancel/download screen for download mode or the first splash screen with the blue text at the top for recovery mode.
5) The other 15% of the time it will reach the CyanogenMod screen, freeze, then shut off.
6) When I put it on the charger, the stock charging icon pops up but then the phone stops charging and shuts off. (It will charge correctly some times)
These things don't just happen if I press the power button. I used a custom app to turn the phone off without the power button and the problems still occurred.
Things I've tried:
1) Replacing the battery.
2) Switching chargers.
3) Leaving the phone on the charger for a while.
4) Taking the battery out for extended amounts of time.
5) Just leaving the phone alone for a while.
No, the power button isn't stuck... I don't think it is
I am aware that the motherboard might need replaced. However, most of the cases I read about involved the phone not turning on/charging at all. If I could get the phone into recovery mode I would clear the cache and see if that worked, if not I would just factory reset the phone. If I could get into download mode, I would flash a stock firmware and be done with it.
This is my second android phone and I've never had this problem before. I did my experimenting with my old Motorola Droid so I could make sure I knew what was safe with my S3 but apparently there is something wrong.
I greatly appreciate any and all help and please do help me
[EDIT #1]
I began hitting the power button against a hard surface and 1 out of 7 times it works. Perhaps the button is stuck.
[EDIT #2]
I am now able to press the power button without the phone turning off. I will still make a back up and sync all of my important media and prepare to have to factory reset and flash a new ROM.
Hi guys
I have a problem - my vol+/- buttons are working just fine but I have problems with power button. It isn't working.
I tried to figure out a way to turn my phone on when battery dies and I found a way - I just need to wait for alarm clock The problem is that I have to wait till my morning alarm rings. Is it any way to turn phone on? ADB and fastboot don't work. Phone can be easily charged.
Thanks for help

Two options:
1) get the button repaired
2) never turn the device off, charge when needed, get an external rechargeable battery booster to make sure your battery doesn't die when you can't get to a car or wall charger, use adb or some other app/mod that has a reboot menu to boot your various modes to restart the device when needed and find another way to wake the screen such as "double tap to wake/sleep" or find a mod that let's you use the volume buttons to wake the device or even "shake to wake/sleep".
If you do this right and make sure you boot from mode to mode correctly and be prepared to keep a way to keep the battery charged under any condition, you'll never need the power button again.

So my S8's screen cracked and digitizer gone, no response. So I purchased usb-c to hdmi with additional usb port. Was working great to transfer info to new replacement S8. That was until the old S8 battery started to die. So I thought to put into power saving mode without knowing that power saving mode disables usb accessibility functions, thus disabling my external monitor, mouse and access. I can access my old S8 for 2 seconds on ext monitor and mouse to try and disable power saving mode in those 2 seconds before power save turns on, but the screen has a lock on it and there is no way I'm going to unlock it and disable in 2 seconds. SO,
Is there a way to disable power save using only buttons? I have successfully booted into safe mode, but lock still present. With power save on, computer doesn't recognize, nothing usb works except charging im guessing. Thanks for your help!
Can you let the phone remain on to drain the battery out. Then plug in and fully charge. Turn on after fully charged. I think it will go back to normal . . . ?
Hello folks,
* mistake in title: I mean volume down + power
I'm having some trouble with my Samsung Galaxy S6 not responding.
I can't remember which Android version it has; it's whatever it came with in 2015, so it's Marshmallow or earlier. The phone is not rooted, not modified. I think that USB debugging is enabled.
The phone is showing a slowly blinking blue notification light.
It does not respond to pressing any of the keys, does not respond to soft reset (volume down + power), does not respond to hard reset (volume up + power + home).
When plugged into a computer via USB cable the computer does not give the option to connect to the phone.
Running "adb devices" at the (Ubuntu) command line with phone connected returns blank list of devices.
What are my options? Is there some other reset option I haven't yet tried?
Did u figure it out? I am having the same problem, thinking of changing the motherboard.
Same problem here, I wake up and the phone was dead, without touching it
It has RR OS 6.2 Android 8.1, no notification light, just nothing... Dead
This is weird, it's happening to me too, the same days...
If you find something about or see other S6 users with the same problem comment here
It is stupid answer, but leave phone for discharging battery, charge for a 15%, maybe (for quick discharge, if phone gets stuck again), and try to turn on. If it's doesn't helps, you can go to recovery and do reset.
Hi everyone,
My phone got updated to UI 3.1, after the restart it has gone into boot loop. I am not able to enter the recovery also. Not able to turn it off, it continuously restarts after the Samsung Galaxy M31w powered by Knox screen.
I have connected the USB to the PC and tried all the combinations to enter the recovery mode.
Kindly help please.
Use the buttons to try to force a hard reset.
Otherwise, let it run down until it auto shuts down unless you can easily pull the battery.
Charge to at least 50% before trying to boot up.
Hopefully it will at least allow access to the boot menu afterwards.
That really sucks... if you're near a Samsung Experience center drag it into them.
I'm having far less issues than you with Samsung updates but the recent Wearables update trashed my bt partially. It's still fighting me even after a roll back. grrrr... it was working fine until that forced update
you might need to use a cable to enter recovery or download modes now like other Samsung phones.
the instant the screen goes black try holding volume up and power and plugging in the USB cable that's connected to something on the other end.
Did you solved the problem???
