Something is keeping it from locking....any lockscreen apps installed? Or any apps installed since you noticed this?

Can we reboot the Vibrant without taking out the battery, or clicking, "reboot"?

Hello!
I just remembered how on the G1 I had you pressed, "call button+menu+end button" can we do this on our Vibrants?

Holding power button works every time.

Yeah I learned that trick because of DD:FW....works every time it freezes, which happens to be every time I play it.

Shell Notification

I have a rooted Thunderbolt that is successfully rooted and has no issues.
I've just noticed that when I have my screen locked and my screen is off, if press and/or hold both volume down and volume up at the same time... it will vibrate. When I turn my phone screen back on and unlock the lock screen, I'll get a notification at the bottom of my screen saying "shell has been granted superuser permissions."
This is absolutely nothing to worry about, correct?

I doubt it's anything to worry about. Do it then get a logcat.

What do you mean by it doesn't work.
I've never had an issue with it.

Literally stops working. No haptic feedback and it doesn't go back in apps. Have to hit home button.

I experience this as well every now and then. It seems like you really have to press it full finger for it to register. Any ideas?
