Running skyfall and faux kernel. Everything was fine until installed this app. Went to reboot as requested then nothing. Powered off. Will not turn on at all. Can't boot into the boot screen. Power cable doesn't so anything,...uh I'm confused. Please help
Hold down your power button for over thirty seconds and report back. I couldn't turn on my phone once, but after holding down the power button for ages, it eventually booted.
If you liked my post, please hit the "thanks" button.

U WOT M8?
That didn't do the trick but adb got it to come to life. I was freaking out
The power button and up on volume key does the trick.

Thanks. I'll learn htc's tricks soon enough. Said in another post, every mfg is different. I wouldve been looking for Odin on my galaxy thanks for the heads up.

Ok so normally if a phone were to freeze up or something happend you just pull the battery and then put it back in and start it up... is there a button combination or something that no matter what will alwaya restart the phone?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
volume up AND down AND power will force a reboot
Wrong
In official user manual on page 180 is that the when not responding press power button for 10 seconds then release to restart the phone

Your method works because you are holding the power button. The volume keys have nothing to do with it you don't have to press them.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to sound mean. I hold volume up + home + power when my i9100 freezes up so I can boot it straight into recovery

How do you take a screenshot on this phone? I'm sorry for wasting time with this. I can't figure it out or find it in the manual. Thanks in advance.

one of these was "sens" function, so if u get rom w/o sens I think the home+power button wont work (or the otherone )
I think the home+power is from sense as it doesn't work on my friends gnex, but for some reason I can't get the power+vol- to work on my one s but works fine on his gnex.

It's both, for both versions of the phone.
Vol- + Powerbutton doesn't work for me :/ But Power + Home works fine (and is easier )

You can keep saying it, but it doesn't make it true.
Power + Home works for my T-Mobile (US), Power + Vol- does not.
Power + Vol - is an ICS feature. It does work on the One S, it just takes a bit of practice

Are you serious? Is this really something someone would lie about?
I can do both on my One S. I didn't even know about Power + Home until it was mentioned in this thread. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't and/or it's not a feature.
Yes, I have a TMO-US One S.
Hold Power then press the Home button.
Not to be that guy but this question has been asked a few times before, please search the forums first, also there is a Noob Q&A Thread for stuff like this. "Noob" not being derogatory.

Here you go, I made a Youtube just for you!
(And this thread, to prove that they both work)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqdip6XJUJs&feature=youtu.be
Yes, I have that much free time since classes just ended for the summer.
Both methods work
Method 1:
Press power and volume - at the same time
Method 2:
Hold power while tapping the home key
Power and volume down hold them then let go.

Yea just tested both my self -vol+power seem to have a shutter sound and have to be pushed at the sametime as for the power+home just flashes the screen and power can be pressed befor tapping the home button.

Hello guys, I just want to know is there any way through which I can increase the sensitivity of the power button? My phone is now one year old and I've found that the power button is very annoying. If any new person happens to use my phone, he is to be taught to apply a bit more force to the power button to lock the phone.
Also, long press is difficult! It's very difficult to take screenshots (with CM ROM that has power button screen shot option).
When I long press to take a screenshot, after releasing the button, the phone sleeps and gets locked. It happens several times and to take one screenshot I have to face it almost five times. I think it is because of dust that gets collected below the plastic button, is there any suggestion from you that can make my finger's life easy??? :banghead:
Uhh, and do not suggest opening the phone body and clean it!!!

And how does a topic come under 'favourites' section of the xda premium app??? Such a stupid question but I am really not finding a way out!!!

Same problem. Isn't much you can do with the power button. It's mechanical so to fix the actual button you would have to open up the phone and fiddle in there. (don't try this if you don't know what you're doing)
I, for one, am using this mod. It works on the rom level, not the phone itself so it needs to be flashed every time you install a new rom (even when it's the same one but different version) and it won't work when the phone is completely shut down, you still have to use the power button.
Oh yeah! I knew that mod but forgot!
Well then, for now I use a screen locking widget... but still to unlock power button is required...
Will have to stay with it only.. :banghead:

Oh, and yeah, that same widget allows to lock the phone by long pressing search button.

Yes I know I can, but sometimes just to see notifications or time, I don't take out the phone from the cover, only its head...
I just rooted with great sucess and wanted to make a nandroid back up. Instead of hitting vol up home and power. I hit vol dwn home and power and now at the downloading..... Do Not turn off target!!! screen. How do I get out of this without doing something wrong? Please help. You guys are all awesome
Just pull the battery. It'll be fine. Some say you can hold the power button for 30 seconds too, but who has that kind of time?

It's volume down button and power.
Works fine for me. Keep trying, it could just be a timing thing for you.

I spent a good hour trying to figure out how to screenshot yesterday. Nothing was happening when I pressed vol down + power. Turns out you have to hold it for half a second ish and it'll screenshot, just don't let go straight away
