stuck power button random rebootin software fix - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

OK so I'm seeing tons of posts about stuck power buttons I have this problem to and I could not fix it hardware wise so I fixed it with software apps. As it seems to happen when ever I push my power button. O also if u cant get your phone to boot up u can use the trick were u take the battery out and put it back in tell it boots up. HTC suck rocks sorry had to lol.
I use an app called tap tap app to lock and unlock my phone by tapping on the proxy sensor. There are other apps like this but this one seems to work the best. Then I use a app called quick boot everyone's probly fermillure with this one anyways this is how I get to recovery or if I need to reboot my phone.
Mods if u guys think this should go in general plz move I thought I'd post hear so ppl could see it thx.

Thanks for this. Had been looking for software solutions to get around this problem and it seems in the latest CM 10.1 nightlies the volume rocker wake option is missing.

Dude I just installed this and you just breathed life back into my phone. I laughing at how cool it is to unlock the phone with a wave over the proximity sensor. This has gotta be the way forward vs. physical / mechanical parts that can break down. Thanks again for the heads up.

Ya NP bud figured a lot a ppl were looking for some way to do this.
It uses some battery but very little

How does this work if you frequently put your phone into your pocket though?

U can set it for 2-4 swipes and how sensitive the sensor is.
I don't seem to have a problem with it waking up buy its self.

GFit's WIFI and BLUETOOTH won't turn on

Hi guys! Anybody here knows where to purchase or what to do about my phone?
My WIFI and BLUETOOTH won't turn on anymore. My phone was actually a FLOODED phone, and we brought it to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER. They did not open and cleaned the inner part of the phone (even the outer part). That's why my WIFI and BLUETOOTH thing got rust and now it won't turn on.
When I want to turn my WIFI on a message ERROR will show up.
When I turn my BLUETOOTH on nothing happens.
wrong section...
go to samsung customer care center again and be ready to pay them as mostly water damaged phones aren't covered under warranty.
it's a hardware problem and can't be solved by software upgrades.

[Q] Heeeeelp broken power button

My power button was broken and i ordered a new one.
I soldered it on and it worked but then it whent crazy the screen flickered on and off.
I had that for the replacement to.
So i tried to remove the button again and than it happened
The flat cable where you solder on the button broke off
Does anyone pleace no how to boot up the phone without the powerbutton
I ordered a new board but that could take up to 3 weeks
I want my phone back
Thanks for the help
In the play store is a app that replaces the buttons, not sure about the actual power button its self. If you can find a way to boot up, check it out. Also look around in play store
Not sure but you can possiably re assign the buttons

Yes i did that before the replacement button arrived and it worked well actually i didn't need the powerbutton any more but i want it to be fixed.
I just need to get it booting for one time.
Thanks for the thinking do
i wonder, does the sensation boot up if you connect it to AC adapter? to PC using USB cable? did you try that?
also, i once seen this on YouTube, never thought it would be useful, but who knows...

If any one now's where the flat cable leads to I can make it boot by using these points.

although, i have no idea "what black tape" he was talking about...
OR. through ADB, using this method
Thanks I found it to.
I searched a lot to before I posted
The black tape is over the button I think.
But that one is gone.
I tried scraping off the little peace of flat cable that is left off to get to the wires but thy are so small that when u touch them they brake.

wow man, you have a strong heart...i wouldn't dare do that with my phone
hmm...i found two places on the back of my phone with "black tape"...but i didn't take them off as i don't need to
try the ADB method...i hope you're already with debugging enabled.
also, make another check on that black tape thingy...i'm sure it's there somewhere...the right place i mean.

btw, if you hopefully end up turning your phone on, i'd suggest you flash OrDroid as the Bricked kernel it uses has a "sweep to wake" functionality

[Q&A] [ROM][5.0.1_r1][OFFICIAL][GPL] LiquidSmooth v4.0 - D850 - 12|8|14

Q&A for [ROM][5.0.1_r1][OFFICIAL][GPL] LiquidSmooth v4.0 - D850 - 12|8|14
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][5.0.1_r1][OFFICIAL][GPL] LiquidSmooth v4.0 - D850 - 12|8|14. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Bluebooth
I am so glad Liquid Smooth has a LP ROM for the D850! I have tried a couple of other LP ROMs and Bluetooth always seems to be broken. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that Bluetooth is working, specifically with Android Wear. If no one has tested it I might flash this later today and test it.
Update - installed ROM and it looks like Bluetooth is a no go right now!
Update 2 - Uninstalled Android Wear and reset the GWatch and now they are syncing. Seems to have been an issue with Android Wear, seeing both the phone and GWatch would pair with other devices.

Np, doesn't bother me
If I was a user I would want to know why and as a dev I gave a straight answer
For right now I'm having to use terminal emulator to connect to data on boot "su" "killall rild"
This is sort of strange... Both on this ROM and CM I occasionally see a star on my status bar just to the left of the WiFi signal indicator. Anyone know what that is?

Between reboots yes, I've seen testers rarely drop a call
Call drops haven't happened to me yet but its been reported, I personally talk on the phone usually a few hours a week

I think star means you silenced notifications, Google lollipop star
Or something similar since its a lollipop thing
did anyone else have trouble with getting data to work? I wish I could test this rom some more but I kinda jumped the gun on this one considering I should be studying

This basically
Phone Call voice drops..
Anyone have a solution for this yet. About 15-30 Seconds into the call the call drops both parties voices and you can not here each other..... Thanks for any help. Also looked in Q&A no mention.
skype on LS v4.0
Anyone having trouble with Skype calling.. it drops after a few mins and when receiving a call it only rings once.. Is it skype or is it lollipop or the Rom?
But besides that its running awesome.. going to use it as my DD..
Great Job.. can't wait to see the tweaks you guys add to the Rom..
I changed the dpi rebooted and all was fine. I rebooted again and bootlooped. FWIW, had this problem with early builds of CM, but that was fixed a few updates ago.

Thank you, I'll test this rom at more when I'm done with finals
So by all means flame away if that's what gets you to sleep at night..
I just want to share my issues
I'm still a user.. not lookin' to switch.. just sharin' the problems I have
A lot of times when I'm on a call & the screen shuts off.. I have to press power to get it to come back on.. even double tap doesn't work
I've tried disabling "Prevent Accidental Wake" & that hasn't seemed to solve it
I see the settings option about disabling Immersive Mode Messages.. buuut no option to enable Immersive Mode
No custom Power Menu Granted that may not be a feature anyway..
I noticed in the OP System App Remover was mentioned.. I'm not finding that.. :-/
If I had to guess I would say the double tap to wake / sleep working reliably is a stock rom thing.. currently in the works for AOSP roms yeah ? Double to wake works pretty consistently.. buuut the Double to sleep only works as the CM status bar tap setting rather than anywhere
What else what else..
Oh so I've got Skype installed.. & every time I try to make a call despite hitting Always.. I'm still asked if I want to use Phone or Skype
I'm not *****in'.. I'm not upset.. this is a forum.. forums exist for the purpose of discussion.. so I am sharing my experience & grievances using this as a daily driver..
Oh oh oh uhh.. also.. I can't seem to get the phone into silent mode now.. only vibrate for the quietest

Yessssssss, me too with the DEEP sleep. It happens too often sometimes...like for instance..right before I posted this reply, my LG V10 running 5.1.1, I had to hard reset my phone 3 Times in a row bc of the DEEP sleeping. I do love everything else about it tho bc it helps my battery life a good deal.

If you're talking about touch responsiveness going down then yes, responsiveness has gone down.. Missed touch events especially when typing..
If just lag then no...

I mean beyond the problem of touch also that of the fluidity of animations for example switching from app to Home when the application is reduced makes a tiny micro lag as if it did not close smoothly

I still use Huawei Home maybe that's why Lagga but I'm not sure. This does this after a fall of my phone but I do not think is due to that because the original cover has deadened the shot and the fall was not too high about 50/60 cm.
Did anyone complaint huwaei abt the touch lag , its getting irritating day by day ..
Thinking to go back to prev version so that it disappears , even the face unlock looks unworthy coz of this touch lag

Did you guys formated after the update ? Because i don't see any lags after update. Am using gboard keyboard woth disabled popup and vibration on keypress. And from app to app multi tasking is also smooth

Also under battery settings check whether power saver is on or off. If it is on, switch it off. Also make animation under developer section change from 1.0x to 0.5x.

It may be a fall to cause this decrease in performance. The fall occurred low, about 100 cm. I tell you though that the silicone has deadened the shot

Multitasking and everything regarding the performance is fine , just the touch response has gone down
