[Q] Power button wont toggle shutdown menu - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i long press the power button the shutdown menu doesn´t appear. The phone just vibrates for half a second and nothing happens. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I have the newest porject V rom with overstock kernel.

reflash project V again OR go back to stock with odin! i prefer the second choice

Thank you. I already reflashed and it worked but once I used titanuim backup it did it again. Any idea what program or setting could be causing that?

then odin back to stock if its doing it again!!

Just take a picture with the camera. It happens once in a blue moon

Problem with phone.... help

Ok heres whats happening....
first of all, my phone is rooted and i have the latest super clean and kernal.... this has been happening on a variety of kernals and roms tho..
Randomly, out of nowhere, my phone reboots. (maybe this is normal, the kernal is crashing?)
the problem is that once it comes back, i seem to be missing some system applications like my contacts app (whenever i click on contacts in the phone, it crashes, and i dont have a contacts app to click)
and sometimes, my phone Settings app.... if u try to click menu on the home screen and click settings, nothing happens..... and i cant place widgets..
I have to reodin the phone completely and start from scratch....
This happens like once every couple weeks or so....
any ideas?
Try flashing it again w/ data/cache/dalvik wipe

Has this problem happened to others or is my phone defective

It sounds like some of the apps may be incompatiable with the verison you're using. I had a somewhat similar problem when first getting into roms. It may be worth going back to stock and then reflashing to the latest SC.
Not sure.. If it was just a compatibility problem I think it would not work right away... The problem I'm having is random after a spontaneous reboot

Try fixing it by flashing stock rom then re root > rom install > cwm
Here's the guide I made

there is no wrong version really im thinking you have an i9000 bootloader instead of a vibrant
Thank you for your help, definately appreciated. I tried flashing the Neo 16 r2 zip w/ led notifications. First boot smooth, on reboot lost baseband so I flashed in kb5 reboot couldn't get data only roaming. So restored, cleaned kernel script with lippo94s kernel script cleaner, installed kernel w/ led. On first boot now have fingers crossed for next reboot.
Any luck i had a similar problem with neo 16r2 but it also rebinded my home key to back and my back key to home and the volume rocker was reversed
UPDATE: never mind used lippos94s script cleaner and neo16r2 w/ led notif and everything is working fine no head phone icon and all keys are mapped normal

[Q] "Frick"my phone

Sorry for disturb you all with my problem if you listen before. Last night I intented to reinstall the AOKP V40 in my phone and while was running the restore from Titaniun, I had the crazy idea to stop the process. The phone go to black screen with soft and down continous flashes and have not access to any option like Recovery or Download to make something to reflash or make working the damm phone.
Any suggestions__ thanks a lot for your helps
Did you try the 3 button method?

This makes absolutely no sense. How do you reinstall the AOKP V40 from Titanium?

Hey Dude, sorry for my explanation. I reinstalled trought CWM. When I intented to restore my apps, make the mistake to interrup the process. The phone gone to Black screen. That my point. At this time I partially solve the problem. I unroot the phone, Root again and install CWM 5.0.2.3 but has not activate the options to reinstall Kernel, Rom o whatever. Everytime I intent to applly the options, the screen go to a figuro of CW and nothing more.
Thanks friend. I just make this. Please read my recent coment to know my situation.
OK. That makes more sense. But I'm not sure if you need help? The only thing I can think Titanium would cause the phone to go to a black screen is if you were restoring system apps, which you should never do. Only install "missing apps and data" with Titanium Backup.
There's your problem you're using an ancient version of cwm and you have to use the home button and not the power button to select, smh read this has been answered many times

Ok, so have you tried starting from square one? Use Odin to return to stock and then make your way to whatever you want to do from there. And just a word to the wise, if you ever stop titanium while its restoring an app, you can just kill the app and nothing will be worse for wear

Nick has answered his question. Please stop telling the Guy to flash completely back to stock or use Odin for this or that, if u don't know the answer, its best not to say anything sometimes. That way we don't screw someone up even more.

Thanks soo much you all guys for the help. Sorry for my english when I intent to explain my problem. Certainly, it´s not my first problem with the phone. Last time I bricked the phone and take the action to unroot and install the stock kernel. Later Rooted and feel the same that actually do. Later, touching the buttons activated the CWM and solve the problem, but not remember which one of the is..
I will test again with your recomendations. Thanks again for your help.
Finnaly and after insist to open the phone under Download Mode, it was open and install the recent CWMR and reboot. Restart normally . For precaution, wipes, and reflash the ROM and Google apps. I will reinstall my apps manually (Sure)
Thanks again to you all for your help.

CM10 home button glitch.

So far my CM10 ROM is great, only problem is I keep getting an issues with the home button being unresponsive. It works for a while when I first restore by back ups but then quits working later on. If anyone has an idea what I can do to fix this I would appreciate it...
OK I figured it out, thank you for taking a sec to view my post.

Would be quite unlikely to hardbrick from recovery flash, especiallybif you flash right stuff for S3....can you get to download mode, even if you cannot, try download mode combo and plug phone to odin, does it wreckingnize it? Does phone show something (galaxy s3 bootscreen) or screen stays compleetely black?

Screen is completely black and will not start using (Volume - + Home Button + On/Off), does not appear on my computer when connected, does not appear on Odin.

A usb jig will help you if you can get your hands on one.

I live in a rural area and I dont know what a usb jig is or how its used.
This phone cost more than the moon and the stars!!!! How am i ever going to fix this!!!!????
Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? I had a similar issue with my note 2. I flash something and it was just a black screen. Power button, home button, and volume button did nothing for me. I took out the battery and put it back in and I saw the samsung splash screen and went back to the black screen. So I had to take the battery out, hold down the volume, home, and power button and push the battery in. It was a pain to do. Having a second person may make it easier. But give that a go.
