[Q] Lost power menu (Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.1)

Noticed recently that I no longer have the power menu when holding down the power button. Screen still turns off/on, but none of the shutdown, restart, etc options come up.
Using Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.1 and everything has been fine until a few days back. Read another similar topic where it was suggested to use the camera, but that didn't seem to do anything in this case. I've added a shutdown/restart widget, which seems to work, but looking to see if I can get the regular power menu back somehow.
Any other suggestions besides re-flashing?

is fastboot turned off in settings-power, when it does reboot it might not be powering down all the way. did you flash any mods?

I have the same problem with 6.1.1 on a Desire HD.
I installed Advance Power Menu v0.2.
Fastboot is turned off.

the issue with this can be resolved by activating secure credentials. go to settings, security and check use secure credentials and you'll be able to access your power menu again

Your right, that worked, thank you. Can I ask why that works, when it had been working previously without that setting enabled?
After enabling that option and confirming it worked, disabled the option again, and still working. Is this just something that happens with Android Revolution, or other roms? Never had this happen when I used to be running stock.

It's an odd bug on 6.1 :/ not sure if it's a bug in the base that was used to build it though

S Pen sidebar and S Note issue

Today we got 4.1.2 version for our N8005 3G tablets and I updated through OTA. But I have two problems now;
- When I pull the pen the shortcuts sidebar do not respond, nothing happens. I tried every possible setting in the S Pen toolbar/sidebar settings, but no change. After the update sidebar not working anymore. Do I have to do a factory reset or is there solution for this?
- Mini S note is gone, the one in the bottom center toolbar. In 4.1.2, when I select the S note from bottom toolbar it opens the main S note app with the selection window. But I want the mini note window for fast note taking. Is the mini S note gone with 4.1.2 or my update is bugged somehoıw?
My note 10.1 is never rooted and never installed any illegal or custom apps, mods... When updating to 4.1.2, no errors or issues occured.
Hope someone can help, I really don't want to do factory reset.
PS: I'm not good at English, sorry for any poor word choices.

I'm going crazy because of this, don't care about the S Note issue anymore. I tried anything I can think of and still no S pen shortcuts toolbar. When I pull the pen, it makes a sound, so it's not hardware/detector issue. Here's the list what I've tried so far:
- Factory reset, multiple times
- Installed stock 4.1.2 rom via Odin
- Cleared Galvik Cache, multiple times
- Cleared partition Cache
I'm downloading ICS Stock Rom and gonna try it via odin, hope this will resolve the issue. If not, I don't know what to do else.

Have you check Setting -> S Pen -> Options after detaching pen?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

Yes, I tried that many many times.
After downgraded to ICS S Pen Shortcuts Toolbar started to work again. When I installed the 4.1.2 top of the ICS, problem occured again. This means, the cause of the problem is Samsung, they released a bugged version 4.1.2 for N8005 users. Good work Samsung!
Also several other N8005 users started to report that they have the same problem after the OTA.

So there isn't any solution ?

Only solution is flashing a N8000 4.1.2 Rom to N8005. I'm probably gonna do this in near future, I don't hink they'll fix this issue with a quick update, maybe never. I don't think they give a damn about N8005 users.
Also I found an another issue with the update, Smart Stay will disable itself after a reboot and you need to manually disable and enable it to work again. Maybe there's even more issues with this update, time will tell.

I have done the same thing and went for Darkman's fine ROM. I didnt care much phone calling function so my intention was to stay with 8005 firmwares, but after the upgrade I went nuts. How Samsung could have released a firmware with full of bugs?

[MG3] Firmware Changes Thread - If u notice anything new, plz post it here!

I know Samsung doesn't post changelogs for their new updates but I just wanted to make a thread for the MG3 update and maybe future updates to point out the changes in the firmware. If you notice any changes, please post it here and I will give it a "thanks" if I can confirm that it's real and I'll put it in the OP (along with your name of course).

WIFI Broken after MG3 firmware update
Just went ahead with my S4 (i9505) MG3 firmware update via Kies (the firmware update version is PDA:MGA / PHONE:MGA / CSC:MG3 (BTU)), everything installed without a hitch, phone rebooted, AND WIFI IS NOW BROKEN!! Meaning the Quick Toggle remains grayed-out even if you press it to turn it on, and going into System Settings and trying to turn on WiFi from there also doesn't work-- the WiFi is simply not turning on! This is a MASSIVE bug which is utterly unacceptable being in an OEM update!!
I've since restored my NANDroid backup to go back to i9505XXUAMDM. At least the WiFi works in that firmware. Yeesh.

I had the wi-fi bug a few days after I flashed the MG3 firmware (wi-fi toggle, both on settings and quick settings are greyed out and stuck at connecting). If you're running the international version you should flash the latest modem.

Ok.. Le me explain a little. I installed No Led and it requires accesabilty option in order to function. When i let it have accesability it turns activates the Talkback function besides of the phone having the Talback function unticked... Heard that also other applications haves the same issue so it is a 4.2.2 issue....

1) wipe partition cache
2) into settings->sound and notification->lock screen-> set show messagge/notification
and return to >notification application -> app and view three option

Found something odd ... after wiping cache it doesn't re optimize apps like on all my other devices ...

Wiped cache or Dalvik?
---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
Else try a factory reset. Cleared some edge issues for me when I moved from Kitkat to 5.0.1

Here's my options on 5.1.1 no third options.

uhmm, into settings - > screen edge-> checked flag on "notification message"? and on "feed information" checked?
my options on 5.1.1 with no third option when i set "hidden messagge" on lock screen. after i partition cache, choose "show messagge" and i after new cache partition and re odin install rom 5.1.1. After i have three option

wiped cache and dalvik, still no fix. I think data is the last thing to do. oh well.

Same issue here...

I have had this same exact issue for a couple months on my sprint edge. Ive done multiple factory resets and Ive found that the edge notifications work perfectly until the phone is restarted. Once the phone turns on and off for the first time after the reset, all edge notifications are broken.. This has happened every time I factory reset it!!
We need an update addressing these 5.1 issues

use odin for rewrite 5.1.1, I as Ive that the edge notifications work perfectly until the phone is restarted. Once the phone turns on and off for the first time after the reset, all edge notifications are broken.. with recovery i wipe partition cache and reused odin 3.10.7 for update 5.1.1 stock and the edge notifications work perfectly also the phone is restarted.

Do the people with broken notifications have fingerprint unlock turned on? If you disable it, is it resolved?

Tried with fingerprint lock and off, no difference. Not working.

I will try rewriting the update with odin. Ive tried downgrading with odin before I realized it wasn't possible, but hopefully it will work if its the same firmware.

Tried reflashing the update. Bricked the phone, It said "firmware update encountered an issue" then I flashed the 5.1.1 file that I downloaded to fix it and the phone was working again, except nothing was deleted, the phone was the exact same as I left it and notifications still don't work.
Edit: tried again and it passed on the first try. Phone keeps booting up like nothing happened, all my apps and data and settings are untouched. Doesnt flashing stock firmware wipe everything?

Nope, Depends if you flash the all-in-one file or the broken up rom - PIT, BL, AP, CP & CSC.
All-in-one rom doesn't seem to delete your data, broken up rom does.

[Q] broken One-Hand-Mode swipe-navbar, any fix? [SOLVED]

Hi all!
suddenly the swipe left or right gesture on navbar broke, my screen does not resize anymore =(
i think it just happened after i downloaded a navbar related playstore app to change icons etc in navbar or view visuals in it.
i deinstalled the app later and then the gesture for one-hand-mode was broken i think.
i tried to fix it like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQt22hNG3Q
smthng like: activate magnifying glass, use it, deactivate it, one-hand-mode should work. it do not work.
Any help how to get this back?

after i used it, took some settings, deinstalled it my mini-view was broken.. then i made factory reset and all was good again...
but now i have magisk and applied all my app and userdata backups from old phone.
... in the next days i try to flash system only and try to inform myself (and you ofcause) if flashing system partition will harm in any kind my files, settings, etc.
thanks guys so far.

Ok, we'll wait for your response

so, i managed to get myself to the "mini-view option screen" by entering the (from playstore downloaded) activity manager and there i startet the correct activity.
since my could not find this point in my settings i had to go that way.
see screenshot.
http://imgur.com/Q1Mxq42
so the function was enabled, is disabled and re-enabled it. nothing. still no swipe for mini-view
disable it, restart, enable, restart still does not work....
is there a way to find out why this is like that?
can someone maybe check the code, what this switch actually do to a system file, so maybe i can take a look inside mine and change -a number for example- by myself?
reflash anything to my phone is the last way i guess... that cant be the only option.

the touch works without problems.
i just think that the navbar-app i installed earlier somehow broke this feature for me.
i dont want to say "please guys (n girls) try this on your honor 8 and see if it breaks the feature on your phone, too."
i think the app changed some settings which were accessible without root-permissions and my honor 8 can't change these settings back...
but if someone maybe plans to backup his/her system.img and is free to try the app and if it breaks this feature it maybe help.
so that i can say if it is really the app fault.
maybe someone knows the file in the phone where the variables for the mini-view are stored to change/check it all manually?!
thanks so far

new info:
i extracted system.img from latest update.zip (update.app) and flashed it via twrp. after that i wiped dalvic and cache and booted the phone.
mhm.. nothing changed =/
all settings stayed the same, swipe to mini-view still not working....
anyone know in which partition the systemsettings are stored ?

I don't know in which partition they are.
I'll search

[problem solved]
problem solved!
i just got into
Settings>
advanced settings>
restore/backup>
reset all settings
not the nice way i guess, but it did the trick and now i'm able again to use mini-view (and have the slider back in settings again)
