I'd love to have this be a function that could be ported over to the current model --- any hope for it?
[If you don't know - it was one of the shortcuts from the old SK models]
This has been replaced by PowerButton + Volume+/- (hold for up to 10 seconds to reboot)
Well, damn. That is great to know! Thank you!
Otherwise, if you have any of the custom roms ( or the tweak from the dev section) there's also the Extended Power menu, which gives options for reboot, recovery, and download mode, by holding the power button.
I recently flashed a Paranoid ROM (nightly build v1.991, Aug 21) downloaded using GooManager.
All worked fine initially, until recently the power button stopped responding/working.
I tried rebooting the phone by taking the battery out (I did not have to press power button, since it auto-starts), but it did not help.
I could enter the fastboot mode while rebooting by pressing Power button + Volume up button.
However in fastboot mode, the volume rockers (which work everywhere else, eg: recovery) along with power button, were not responding , also "fastboot devices" command did not recognize any device.
Now, to re-flash the Paranoid ROM or a stable ROM, I needed the power button in CW Recovery.
So I was left with a single option of flashing the Touch-CW recovery without fastboot mode.
I managed to do that using Terminal app (the one that opens the shell from the underlying kernel) from the ROM itself.
Now I could flash ROM using the Touch-CW recovery.
I tried re-flashing the Paranoid ROM, flashing a stable CM ROM but none helped.
Latter, I tried various drivers (PDAnet, Samsung, raw adb drivers from Android SDK) and toolkits to get the fastboot mode working but to no avail.
Note: The "adb" commands work correctly when the Nexus S is connected in USB debugging mode.
But no matter what the fastboot mode and the power button do not work!
Please help!
Details of device:
Nexus S, I9023, (SLCD version).
Kernel: 3.0.38-CyanogenMod
Jelly Bean v4.1.1,
Paranoid Android v1.991.
Update 1:
Recently I have updated to paranoid 2.0 (September 7) build. The problem still persists.
Update 2:
Nexus S has been bricked, I suppose!
It now does not start and gives no response to pressing of any combination of the keys(hard and soft).

That's normal, because your power button is broken, that has nothing to do with the ROM. If you take a moment and search the web you'll see it's a very common problem for Nexus S.
Send your phone for repair if it's under warranty or if you're ready to afford the repair from Samsung. Otherwise you can fix it yourself if you have experience with small electronics, although I would advise against it.
Thanks for the quick reply. However, I'm able to start the phone in fast boot mode by holding down the power and volume buttons.
Also, any thoughts about the buttons not working in fastboot mode?

Again, known problem. With a quick search you're able to find answers to these questions.
Whenever the power button breaks, often enough it will stay stuck as pressed in thus activated. Fastboot can only react to one button press at a time thus will act as if the power button was being held. The volume rocker will not be able to work as long as the power button is "held". And since it's broke, it's continually held, so you can't scroll.
You can technically and in practice live with the power button not working. Many people manage to do so.
-From within Android, you can reboot to recovery using either an app or an embedded menu in many custom roms. Using a touch recovery such as CWM 6.0.1.0 or 5.8.0.2 you can use it without any problem.
-To wake up your phone from sleep you can use volume rocker wake embedded in some custom roms.
-To put it to sleep you can use shortcut apps/widgets, a notification bar shortcut, let the timeout do it's work or use a proximity/light sensor app.
Thank you once more.
I am already doing well without the power button, by using volume rocket to switch on the display and touch CW recovery.
To clarify that power button is functional, I tried to enter fast boot mode by only holding down the volume up key, but couldn't enter it as power button was not pressed.
Also the volume rockers work properly in recovery, hence if the power button was continuously being pressed , they would malfunction.

Does it work properly EVERY time (and I mean that) while in Android?
Fastboot and recovery are different beasts though. I've not heard of problems in recovery when the power button was stuck, unlike fastboot.
It's possible your power button hasn't failed you completely yet. They tend to be flaky at first then one day just out right stop working. Sims22 on these boards has one that works if he smacks his phone a bit, to give you an example.
yeah they work every time as I described.
Actually I'm trying to put back stock ROM in it , with stock kernel and everything else stock.

I'm also having this issue. I'm able to get into boot loader. But volume cursor doesn't seem to work. It how ever works fine however in another other time.
I want to Odin. Since I restores everything completely to stock. How ever I cannot get into download mode at all. Tried adb. Different apps. And hold volume up/down while plugging USB

I also tried ODIN and Nexus Root Toolkit. But was locked in fast boot mode. Then I pulled off the battery to reboot, and that was the last time the Nexus worked.
I recently opened up the nexus to verify that the power button is functional, it is working correctly.
I guess time for the Samsung service center guys to work on it.

Hey. I'm having an issue. Currently running latest cm-nightlys, well I was. I wiped/factory reset wiped dalvik and cache. Upon installing ROM, Paranoid Android 4.0 Beta 3 It just stood there. Frozen. I felt so cold and alone I waited 10 minuets, still nothing. I held down the power button/volume up to get back to recovery but I was unable to....By the way i'm on clockwork MOD 6.0.xx It's probably my fault, I should've installed TWRP instead. I can get to fast boot....I HATE setting up ADB, but I have it installed, not the full version. Can someone HELP?!!? I'm unfamiliar with the comands, and so forth... Thanks in advanced
power button + volume up doesnt take you into recovery. power button + volume down takes you into the bootloader(fastboot), then scroll down with the volume key and choose recovery(while still in the bootloader).
Your install of paranoid wasn't frozen, takes over 15 min to install PA, and the status bar doesn't move either while installing. It is stated in PA ROM section.

Power button + volume up takes you into safe mode does it not?

No. Holding down power off in Android asks you if you want to reboot in safe mode.

Typical steps to enter recovery mode not working (F350S model)
I have F350S model which I rooted, and accidentally deleted "phone" from the system apps. Was unable to make calls or texts, and I could not find any help to reinstall the deleted "phone" apk (it may not be so simple to "just re-install it", I suppose). My solution was to re-stall a fresh stock ROM (it is 4.4 kitkat),.......BUT....I cannot find any stock ROM online for this phone. So, I decided to use Lollipop upgrade (Future 3.2 ROM).
I installed Lollipop, and everything appeared to be successful. I made phone call and texts, had wifi, and was re-installing my games and social media apps. Then, suddenly, I get an error "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped." The error is persistent. I cannot get away from it. I say "OK" and it just comes back. I have no idea what "LG IMS" is, or why it stopped.
I figure I will just re-install the Future 3.2 ROM again and start over. I need to enter recovery mode, and the instructions to do this are one of three possible ways:
1.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, RELEASE, and then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons again, and then phone should enter recovery mode. But it does not! It just boots up to the "LG IMS has stopped" error, again,
or 2.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, release POWER BUTTON ONLY (keep holding VOLUME DOWN button, do not release), then press POWER button again. Phone should enter recovery mode, but it does not! Same as above,
or 3.) Same as above, but after startup logo appears, hold down BOTH VOLUME UP AND DOWN. But...same results. No recovery mode and boots directly to persistent error.
I'm guessing my recovery feature is screwed somehow. How do I fix this? I cannot enter recovery mode using the buttons and directions I have seen for this phone. I've tried a few other variations of button pressing too. No avail. There has to be a solution!!!

I think this is the same from F320S from my Wife.
Press and Hold Power and Volume Down When startup logo appears, RELEASE and Press and Hold Power and Volume Up
until the Korean characters Comes and a little longer

Thank for reply, but this button combo no worky, either.
If I hold down ALL THREE BUTTONS, I get a Korean screen, IMEI number with barcode, with 3 options, but I cannot tell what any of it says. I tried all 3 options, and they all just cause the phone to restart. Not sure what they do.
any further information ? I get entering the recovery problem too !
If you are using custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to enter the recovery press and hold the POWER and VOL UP while your phone is turned off, wait for the Korean characters to appear then release the buttons.
How do you get into twrp after flashing twrp
Xposed G4 TweaksBox advanced power menu are my fave ways...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gt.reboot.utility This one looks good too, cause ya can enable and disable which reboot options you want to show up in the menu https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rebootmanager
Otherwise power + vol up then release power and press it again I believe, or release vol up while holding in power and pressing it again, damn dyslexia I forget and never used the key combination once yet to get into twrp. haha
How to get xposed on lg g stylo
Didn't work can someone tell me the key combination for twrp
