[HOWTO] Enter recovery without root and without a USB cable - Nexus Player General

Found this very useful and thought I'll share. Could be a dup but didn't find one.
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Press and hold the button on the bottom on the Nexus Player. As you’re holding the button, plug the power cord back in. Keep holding the button until you see “Google” on your TV screen.
3. Next, you’ll see a screen with an Android on its side, and the words “Normal Boot” at the top.
4. Press the button once. The text at the top will change to “Recovery mode.”
5. Press and hold the button for two seconds to select Recovery mode.
6. Press the button once.

TLDR: Pressing the button lets you navigate the bootloader menu and jump into recovery mode.

Change power button function?

Is it possible to change the power button function?
I keep pressing it by mistake when I use my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. I've had the phone for ages now and just can't hold the phone comfy without my fingers resting against the power button.
It would be nice if I could set the power button to sleep on long press like the reboot menu, and have the reboot menu on a 10second press.
Would this be possible?

Problems wuth long press power button and volume

I make CyanogenMod 10 for my device. Official firmware - android 4.1.1. I have serious problems with the processing of pressing the power button and volume buttons.
When I press the power button, the phone starts to behave inappropriately. It appears when i try to unlock: not always the first time gets unlocked, you need a short press that the attempt was successful. And if you say I want to call the power menu, long clamp the power button and the phone will vibrate like crazy and there is a bunch of copies of windows power menu, you press back - phone go to the bootanimation ...
By the way with the volume button a similar situation! As is well known in the CyanogenMod is feature - volume buttons scroll through tracks. So if I clamp rocker to scroll through the forward / backward, flipping loops and skipped about 5-6 tracks!
In what could be the problem?
Surely someone had anything like that.
Sorry for my bad english)

Safe Mode | Pie - MiUI 10

Hi,
Is this method working on Pie, MiUI 10?
I've tested both several times without access to Safe Mode.
Power on device
Step 1. Hold down the Power Button of your Android for one or two seconds. A small pop up menu will appear then on the screen.
Step 2. On that pop menu, press and hold Power Off for a few seconds. This will bring to you another pop-up menu confirming if you want to boot into safe mode. Press Ok to let the device know your confirmation.
Step 3. When you see in a small font Safe Mode written in the bottom of your Android, you will know that your device has a reboot in Safe Mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Power off the device
Step 1. Press and hold the power button
Step 2. When you see the Xiaomi logo release the power button, press and hold volume down button
Step 3. Release the button when you see safe mode on the bottom left corner.
Thank you
I have the same problem on miui 11
