When I hit power off, the phone seems to simply soft reset. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I'm on the latest saurom, and when I hit power, phone freezes for several seconds, goes blank, and then shows the default lock screen. Can anyone offer any advice or solution?

This question has been answered many times. Look in the Q&A of the Saurom thread. You have to remove the option to confirm shutdown in deluxe setting.

Ah OK, sry, I did see that but thought it was referring to something else. Now to hunt down these deluxe settings..

Built in screenshot

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?
Seen this alot here but no one can seem to remember what they did to make it happen...its weird..

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.

I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

Thanks - good tip - maybe we need a tips thread rather than a bunch of one-offs, though.
Not going to lie, I had to Google this.
Edit - GB method for screenshots work as well.

I usually just share out with whatever app. Click the upper right corner and this little triangular thing will show up. Click that to share. I think you can long press to copy, but I'm not sure.

For those of you on Gingerbread Power+Home does it on that one.

screen delay on aokp rom

based on the aokp rom-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718
nobody seems to have a working solution for this problem...after clicking the power button, there is a 2-3 second delay for the screen to turn on..this started after flashing this rom.
i have tried:
1) removing widgets, live wallpaper, closing running apps, etc....
2) turn of crt animations
3) changed kernel to neak for aokp.
4) i flashed UCLE5 and the problem stopped but i dont want the stock.
nothing has worked. what else could be causing this?

It's all fine and dandy to say that it's deep sleep and that it's just how the phone works...I'd just like to know why it is that the HTC Inspire's screen comes on instantly with the button while its idle battery drain is twice as good as the S2. Clearly there's something wrong with the way Samsung is doing something.

Phone goes to Negative Colors automatically?

Hi ...
In last couple of days my SGSIII went to negative colors automatically without even touching that option and I had to reverse the colors manually to get original colors back.. I am not sure what could be the problem nor have any idea about why it's happening.
I haven't installed any such app that will do that or so..
So can anyone suggest me what to look for as I already factory reset it too but to no available..
P.S. - It only changed for three times and not more.. Also while talking there was some sweat on the glass, could that be a reason though it didn't changed it's colors at that moment but later..
Thanks.
Funnily enough this happend to me today. V. strange

I have the same issue with Omega 27.1 but every time after I disabled it, it automatically goes back to negative colors if I leave it idle for awhile. Any idea?

on Android 5.0.2 there is an option where you enable (and disable) negative colors by clicking 3 times the cetral button I was looking for a week what made my phone (samsung A3) turn on the negative colors. So, the easiest way is to go to settings and search for "negative colors", Its hard to explain where becouse my phone is on greek language but there are two options you have to uncheck in "Accessibilities". One option to turn on/of the negative colors and the other to turn off the option clicking 3 times the central button. Hope that is uderstude and helpfull
update: (ok found it in english)
go to "Settings", then "Accessibility" and tap on "Direct Access"
i got same issue on my samsung galavy V, but there is no 'negative color' button on my accesibility
can someone help me?

Try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery and see if that helps. That tends to clear up most corruption.
I thought I saw something about that in the Viper thread but searching the thread for "border" or "red box" didn't come up with it, but you might try some searching in that thread.
I used to get lines on my lockscreen as well if I hadn't rebooted my phone in a while, a reboot fixed it every time.
