Hi,
I'd like to hard shutdown my hd2. (it has the original wimo6.5 rom). So what I mean is shutdown into the lowest power state.
the reset button (behind the batterydoor) enables me to reboot, but I don't want to do so directly. I want to be able to have the device power off really, for a longer time, just lik my old hp614c did when pressing the power button for a long time. The subsequent action will be a boot after any desired period of time. this is what I'm looking for.
pcshutxp etc. only put the hd2 into standby.
any suggestions?
kindest regards, vicenza.
If you long-press the end-of-call button it should pop-up with a menu offering switch off. Is this what you want?
Csanad
yes
Yes it is indeed, thank you very much.
I hadn't noticed that it worked that way.
kind regards.

Tried to turn on my XDA yesteday and the button fell into the device ! This caused not to be able to turn on the screen unless I got a call. I downloaded Vito SystemTools' button maping program which allowed me to make my calendar button (when held down) to turn the screen on and off. The problem is that turning the screen on and off is not doing the same thing as the power button did. I was under the impression that all the power button did was turn the screen on and off to save battery and prevent unintended input. However, now my battery dies in 6-8 hours of use compared to the normal 2 days. Obviously, there is somthing more that the power button does.
What I'd like to know from the developers is if there is a program called by the power button and how I should access it. The button mapper program allows me to map any program I want to (almost) any hardware button (not the volume button). If it's a DLL or somthin I can probably write a wrapper program for it with some pointers.
I'm also in the market for a dummy xda or just another power button if someone has one just to get it to look better. However I like the functionality of holding down the calendar button for 1 second to turn the device on/off and would like to keep that permanently.

The power button is probably hard-wired to some processor wake-up logic. So when you turn the processor off, it's going to be very hard to make it wake up by anything else. You could write something that makes it wake up very very momentarily, say every few seconds, to check for a button-press. But my guess is what you want is a new power button.
damn Well i'm waiting on a dummy phone auction unless anyone over here has one to sell me.
I got exactly the same problem, the only difference is that i managed to get it back and i putted some silicone glue in it. It works and don't ask me how ;-)
Anyway, why don't you just press on the call - hang-up , calendar, volume button to wake the phone up?
Than just change the settings in battery power to make it shut down after 5min or 10min. It should help you reduce your battery life time since the phone gets automaticly in sleep mode after that time.
good luck,
Yann
I have my phone set not to wake up without the power button being pressed. I can turn this off but then buttons get pressed in my pocket since I don't like belt clip holders.
Hi. Does anybody have an idea how to switch off the display manually through pressing some keys or menu icons? I found only the timed automatic possibility in the battery settings, but I need the manual function too. On each of my previous phones (TyTN II, i780) it was always possible. Thanks for your help.
Use mortscript to turn-off display and then assign the script to a hardware button.

Hmm, a little bit to complicated, but thanks for the tip
So your not talking about putting it to sleep by touching the power button? I think all my wm devices have this feature, killing the screen instantly.
I'm not sure about the request - anyway isn't it what Rose does when you press and hold End Call button?

If you touch the power button on the Rose, a menu apears, wher you can choose: if you want to switch the whole phone off, lock the keys, call the task manager or the comm manager. There is unfortunatelly no option to switch only the display off

Pressing and holding the End Call button locks the keys, it doesnt switch the display off
...simply very easy, I am looking for something like psshutxp but for smartphones (WM 6.1 standard). You can everywhere find only the pocket PC version for WM professional, which you can not unfortunatelly install on a smartphone.
Yeah, I was thinking of the pro devices. They seem to get all the love anyway. There seems to not be a built in solution then. Setting the screen timeout real short would be only option and thats not a good option at all. If I come across anything I'll repost. I've just been using the red end key. But I'm so hooked on my touch pro right now I've forgotten the rose for awhile.
Here is the solution for all my troubles http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473017
If I write an app, is it possible to to override the default functionality of the hardware power button?
I only found this on google, but it didn't work:
stackoverflow.com/questions/3703071/how-to-hook-into-the-power-button-in-android
Thank you!
I would be interested in an app to do this, as well as bringing up the power menu as holding the power button usually does.
The power button on my Desire has issues letting go... the phone seems to think that the button is always pressed, effectively making me unable to "press" the button when I want. Pretty certain it is mechanical failure, since if I take the battery out and then put back in, the phone turns on without my doing anything else. So, I cannot shutdown via the power menu... tried apps which use SU to power off/reboot, but they are causing problems with Data2Ext and A2SD+ filesystems. I also cannot do anything from hboot or fastboot... must enter recovery through a root app.. which is not always helpful.
Been looking for several months

I would really like for this too.
I am trying to do an in-dash install of a 7inch tablet and it is unable to sense when the power is removed. I have also tried running Tasker but it says 'Application not installed'.
So I would like to send a pulse to the power button and trigger a shutdown app. Otherwise I will just be cutting power which is sure to corrupt things
It's Needed!!!
Please see my other post in this thread:

Thanks!!
I didn't realize that you had to be holding the power button AND home button down, with screen off, to reboot.
Feel free to close/delete/etc. this thread...

I have a quick question -- the touchscreen on my touchpad (Alpha 3) became unresponsive and does not become so after re-locking and unlocking the screen. The tablet itself is responsive (still updating time, can use hard buttons to change volume, see recent apps, and bring up the reboot/etc. options), but to my knowledge there is no way to force a shutdown using the hard buttons. Am I correct in this?
The battery is at 34%, so it shouldn't take too long to kill it if I keep the screen on a lot....
Thanks!
Thanks, that worked for me!
Hi,
When doing a long-press on the power button of my Galaxy SII, after a few seconds, it powers off. This happens whether it is locked or not, and without asking for confirmation on the screen.
I'm using a Sena leather case, which presses on the power button. Each time I put it in the case, it powers off, then it restarts, and stays on "enter SIM pin code" screen. I may have discovered a new way to switch to Airplane mode but I'd like to avoid that.
Moreover, there is a distinction between :
- long press (2 seconds) : brings the power menu (Airplane / Reboot / Switch OFF)
- very long press (approx. 8 seconds) : switches the phone OFF
Also, these two keys are active even when the phone is locked.
Here's what I would like to do : disable both the 2 seconds press and the 8-seconds press when the phone is locked
I found some threads about key remapping applications or direct edit of keymap files, but none of them were successful.
Could someone point me out an application / a way to achieve that ? Does someone know if it's ever possible ?
(For now, the only workaround I found is a hardware one : disassemble the phone and sand the power button to reduce its height, so that it stays inside the casing)
Thank you in advance. Kind regards
My old HTC Hero used to do that too, which leads me to believe it is something hard-coded into Android itself. I'd suggest there is nothing much you can do, but wait and see if a dev replies or something.

I don't know if it's possible but if it is it has to be something in the kernel.
The 8 second power off function works the same way as the on on your PC and is used if your phone stops responding so I don't see a way to disable it with an app because it's ment to turn the phone off even if an app freezes your whole phone.
Hi,
If the 8-seconds press is hard-coded, I think precautions should have been taken to avoid unwanted power off each time you put the phone into a leather pouch !
On iPhone f/ex, you have to press both power and home button during several seconds to trigger hard reboot, which makes unwanted action hard to happen unexpectedly.
It's always frustrating to encounter such a basic problems on a $600 phone using the latest state-of-the-art technology, which powers off each time you put it into your pocket ;-)
I hoped some developer has found a way to workaround this. I googled a lot, but I didn't find anything.
So, if the power button features are hard-coded, the only solution may be to hard-remove the entire power button
Problem solved.
I disassembled the phone, I removed the power button, I carefully grinded it to reduce its height, and I put it back into the phone.
(For those who may already owned an iThing, disassembling a Galaxy SII is very easy, it's a matter of seconds with a good old mini-screwdriver; proceed carefully when grinding, because if you reduce the height too much, the buttom may break)
Now my power button height is just below the casing. It's still possible to press on it with a finger, but it does not press by itself when putting the phone into my leather pouch.
Thank you for explaining it I had an issue with my S II and it went to service to solve it, they totally changed the board and was shocked when I found the short press on power button doesn't show the power menu I used to have and it switched off immediately!
I've got to return it to service and your post made me thinking it's a simple issue! It won't take time
Regards,
