How to Disable ICS bugfix/bugreport?

Hi, everyone. I always accidentally press my NS' power + volume up buttons, which activates the bugfix/bugreport email window.
Is there any way to safely disable this feature?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to ask, but what? You mean you press them when powering up the phone? If not, could you post a screenshot?

Yes, I accidentally press them when powering on or off my NS. Try holding the power and volume up buttons. Your NS will vibrate and bring up your default email app and compose a bugfix/bugreport email for you.

Exactly what I am searching online for. I always get the sharing options appear out of nowhere and only realise that it is trying to send a bug report.
After some extended searching, I finally knew how it was activated. By pressing Volume up + Volume down + power button, you will feel a vibration after a second or so, that's when the bug reporting initiated.

However, I have no idea how to disable it. It become very annoying especially when waking up the phone from sleep and you find that your device is lagging because of the bug report generation.
Any help?

Turn off USB debugging.

The solution that I've found, without turning off USB debugging, is renaming the file "bugmailer.sh" (to something like "bugmailer.sh-backup"), which is found in /system/bin.
P.S. For me, I need USB debugging turned on, because it is required by Titanium Backup, which I often use. If you don't need USB debugging turned on all the time, you could just turn it off, like Uni7 posted, and it'll also solve this issue.

You shouldn't need USB debugging for TB on any new rom. From official FAQ:
40. Why does Titanium Backup demand that the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) be enabled? I don't develop on my phone and don't want this.
The only reason is that on some ROMs, earlier versions of Superuser (the app that grants root privileges) didn't work properly if ADB (USB debugging) was disabled. This is why I added the warning at startup.
Nowadays, on most ROMs you can leave USB debugging disabled in your phone settings and also disable that warning in Titanium Backup. The option is: MENU -> Preferences -> "Warn if no USB debug".

Thanks for the info, it works! Never know it's the USB Debugging option, guess I never explore deep enough.

Same here on my Galaxy Nexus...anyone eager to help us out?

I have the same problem. HELP

This is a manual bug report triggered by pressing both volume keys and the power button at the same time. It will vibrate once when you do it and then it takes a good minute or two for it to compile the report. The phone will then vibrate 3 times quickly when the report is ready, but only if the phone is awake and unlocked. So, for example, if you hit the power button to check the time and happen to press all three buttons or your TPU case (just an example) is holding down your volume buttons, then it will trigger then. You won't actually see the results until the next time you unlock the device. They are addressed to your default email address unless your ROM developer adds an email to them. Obviously being stock this would not be the case.
If you want to get rid of this feature, go to /system/bin and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.bak or delete it. Then reboot and no more bugmailer.

I should add that in addition to the way mentioned above that will completely disable it, disabling USB debugging should also disable it in 4.0.4.

Re help with galaxy tab 2 power button !

help with samsung galaxy tablet 2 power button !
*Hi guys*I'm finally making the move and have bought a Samsung galaxy tablet 2 for my bmw e46 dash but have found a problem and wondered if any of you guys have a work around for it ?As you know the power button is on the edge of the tablet externally so once it's installed behind the dash you can't push it to either lock the screen or take it out of sleep mode and also it doesn't matter have a proximity to sensor built in etc*Any idea how I can press this power button while it's behind the dash either by the touchscreen using an app or another way that anybody can think of cause I'm stuck ??*So help ppl**

I've read some people use an app called TASKER to set it so that when they crank the car (giving the tablet power thru the charger) the screen comes on and stays on till its turned off. maybe check more into that?

use a custom rom with volume key waking up option.

If he won't have access to his power button after mounting the tablet in the dash, he probably won't have access to the volume buttons either.
here is a thread from another site where a guy put a nexus 7 into the dash of his vette http://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-electronics/1584175-c6-android-tablet-stereo-dash-install.html

If your'e thinking about doing a hardware mod , Try AdamOutler (XDA TV) He does some pretty cool stuff and may offer some solid advice. Knows his stuff thats for sure.
XDA unboxing /tutorial Adam Outler style
Guess you could move the power button onto the dash itself if the device is getting built into it as a permanent fixture ? Not that id have a clue how to do that lol.

Not making any mod to the tab: You may mount a solenoid, http://www.solenoidcity.com/solenoid/solenoidcatalog.htm on the dash to actuate the switch. Will require some mechanical / electrical skill to accomplish the job..

fixed?
did you ever find a solution.. I have the same car and the same issue
Thanks!

Thing is you can easily get apps from store to
1.lock screen
2.turn off tab
3.toggle volume
But real problem comes with turning on tab...
Though you can turn on tab from sleep via some apps called smartawake and others(believe of there are lot of them on play)
By these apps you can turn on tab using proximity sensor(it will work),vibrations
But for instance when your tab gets off you have to press power button.
That can be done by pressing in physically or a hardware hack(you got to open up your tab and do stuff with your power buttons.like providing external switch to it etc)

Hey guys I am having a similar problem with my galaxy tab install in the car. I come out in the morning and the tablet is dead. I am currently charging it via usb but was planning on putting a power inverter in the glove box for faster charging (maybe?) What I would really like to do is to be able to extend the power button leads to an external button that I can mount in the dash. Anyone done this before or have any suggestions?

Someone recommended Tap Tap App (lock and unlock the screen with a double tap on the proximity sensor) around here. I've tried it and it works.

Yea that would work for turning the screen on and off, but im talking about if the tablet dies completely. It will be getting charge when I turn the car back on but I wouldn't be able to turn the tablet back on itself because I can't get to the power button.

Your Tab will boot into charge mode. Maybe you can change the init script logic: if boot into charge mode, wait a minute, and then reboot into normal mode.

There are some changes that can be made to the kernel to boot the os when powering the tablet. I had this behavior on my lgp500 as a bug on cm builds. To keep the display on you can check keep display on during charging.

I'll try. But now I am so tired, back from my real work duty. A short break after driving my car for about 3 hours, 1 hour from home 3.49AM here

Just to over simplify the first thing that came too my mind was a knob with an off set round plug on the other side...turn the knob you push the button..

What ROM are you using?
If you want to manually shut down the tablet, press power and volume up while plugged into a power source. It shouldn't power back on.

I am experiencing the same problem with reboot. I updated Tab 2 (PS5113) to 4.2.2 rom through the automatic update via WIFI (on Aug 30,2013). When you turn off normally, the screen shuts down (glows for about 15 sec before full black) then turns back on. Generally the second time I turn it off (in a row) it will turn fully off. I have tried turning off with or w/o connection to WIFI, and tried turning off all programs through applications manager (as well as clearing ram) first. One suggestion was to clear cache partition (hold down power on and volume down button) but this resulted in a quick error message (android logo lying down with X through it), so I am not sure that the cache was cleared. Since I never tried to clear cache before upgrade, I don't know if it is an isue with this upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It seems as though the OTA update was installed incorrectly. Perhaps a file is corrupt or you have an app installed that is causing an issue with the shutdown process. Is your install rooted? I would recommend either performing a factory restore, or re-flash your devices firmware with ODIN (Use with caution!) Either way, please post your intentions. Have you tried anything other than clearing your cache? Did you recently install an application? Let me know
Best of luck,

In the morning, I have experienced the same thing, I use the cm-10.1.3-RC2-p5110.zip
I had to shut down twice.

Rebooting
My device is not rooted (purchased in March). The update was through the Samsung notification - automatic (except for saying proceed). The update went smoothly - no error messages. However, after update, the Nook app would not open so I uninstalled the original and reinstalled through Google Play. In addition, the home page was changed, Samsung putting back on the Media Hub and removing all of my personal folders - icons (very irritating). The standard weather app and calendar widgets were larger than original after update (pushing the calendar off into page 2), so I removed and added the G0 Weather app (I have since removed it to see if the Tab will shut off - it still needs 2 shut downs. As I mentioned before, after the first shut down, the tablet keeps a slight glow for about 20 sec., then goes black, then immediately restarts (as if during the glow something is happening??). On 2nd shutdown, glow is for 5 sec. then off complete.
I prefer not to root (yet) but am uncertain how to proceed with factory restore if I have updated through Samsung. Might it not just reload a faulty OS? As I mentioned, wiping the cache did not seem to work.
Thanks again.

Master Reset Smart Watch 2 hardware combination?

Let's say someone managed to pair the watch to something that it's not compatible, say, a windows phone.
Now the watch is stuck on the screen that wants one to open the Smart COnnect app.
We all know that windows phone suck and doesnt have app for ****.
So how would one master reset in order to repair the watch to an android os phone?
Let's just say that holding down the power button for 5 minutes did nothing as well.
What's your solution to this problem?

In this situation coudn't you try to connect from an Android smartphone?
Other attempts: try if recharging the smartwatch unlock the screen, or let it discharge completely.

That's the weird thing, it wont pair with another phone since it's at the screen with the smart app request.
Sony's site want me to hold down the power for 15 seconds, or go to the Settings menu and select Reset.
The later choice is not an option since i cannot access the menu.
Gonna give the battery drain a try.

I'd try the power button first of all... if you keep it pushed the watch should power off and then you'll be able to power it on again and restart the pairing process...

[Q] ZTE Majesty "Quick start"

Hey there all,
I recently purchased the ZTE Majesty from StraightTalk, and I honestly couldn't be happier, great phone, great company, etc... However, one thing I have noticed is that when I go to turn my phone off, instead of the "Power off" option actually shutting down the phone, it puts it into some sort of hibernation mode. I've been unable to find a way to turn this off (I've Googled, tested, tried, factory reset, pushed, prodded and called to no avail), so I thought I'd turn to xda with my problem. I've included a screenshot of my power menu, in hopes it'll jog somebody's memory, or help me turn this damn thing completely off, as hibernation uses battery. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Rexen

Solved
Go to:
System Settings > Accessibility > Quick Start
Click that check-marked box and you should be good to go! :good:
If you still have problems please reply with some specifics and I'll try my best to help you.
