[Q] Power menu/ lock button not working - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched this problem quite a bit, finding results involving not only the lock button, but also the home button, which doesn't apply to me.
For some reason, whenever i try to run the "overview of app storage use" option on Titanium Backup, the app auto-quits after hanging for a few seconds, my SetCPU profiles are thrown off (they temporarily deactivate), my lock button stops working (unless i Odin back to stock and recover), and other problems. Any ideas on what to do to fix it? I know the button itself is fine, because it works fine if i Odin back to stock.

[Q] Why does voodoo disable the back menu button at times?

Sometimes when I flash something using CW, the back menu button is disabled shortly after. Why does that happen?

when i flashed simply honey for the first time i went to advanced to wipe dalvik and back disappeared so i couldnt go back to reboot
it was because i didnt have the GB bootloaders
maybe thats why ??
well, it's happened to me a few times before. Sometimes if you wait it seems like the back button re-enables itself. Other times it doesn't. Today I was flashing project V and then I flashed a theme over it and the back button disabled so it left me a bit perplexed...

it's a certain back and forth combo that disables it. it's not voodoo specific. if you do the same combo again, it'll re-enable. (i can't remember what the combo is though).
When it goes blank, pressing home button brings it back to main menu of recovery.

[Q] Power Off Shorcut

Hello, i`ve upgraded my s2 to ics and i have a inconvenient.On gingerbard, holding the power off button would showed up some shorcuts including the 3g activation.On ics if I hold the power off button it shutdowns directly.Is there any possibility to make it do the same action as on gingerbard?Is there any alternative for activating the 3g without going deep into the settings?Thanks

That's strange. I don't think that holding power shuts it down directly without power menu (unless you hold it for 8-10 seconds, then yes it's normal, but I don't think that's what you mean). Maybe something went wrong during the update. Try reflash maybe, or reset to default...

ive tried like 4-5 diff ics versions today.Everything is working perfectly but the phone shutdowns directly when I keep it pressed instead of showting shorcuts like gingerbard does.Maybe i`m missing some option, some check box unchecked but I didin`t find any option.

Official Samsung firmwares? I find it really strange. It should have a power menu. (you are holding it just 2-3 seconds right? Not 8 so you are forcing it to shut down).
I'm sorry, some other expert will help you. But stock firmwares and custom ROMs, they all have power menu. I've never seen any firmware/ROM that shuts down directly.
Sounds like you're missing /efs/imei/keystr
Create a file called keystr in /efs/imei and put "ON" in it.
wow, you are a genius.Everything was fine and working except that holding thing and I also had no screenlock, it was just getting to the menu if i would have pressed home button or power off.I fallowed your instructions and they were both fixed.Thank you very much.

Power Button Weirdness

Hi Guys,
My phone's power button started behaving strangely yesterday (don't know what triggered it, didn't install any app or change setting which could cause it).
It works as EXPECTED:
1) To Turn on the phone.
2) To Turn on the Screen from Sleep Mode.
3) To reset/shutdown when pressing together with Volume Up Key.
It works Weird:
1) When Screen Is Already "On" and I want to turn the screen off by pressing it. It works as Volume UP Key :S
This started happening yesterday and as It was working fine in all other cases except the one I mentioned, I thought it would be a settings/software issue. I reset my phone with Sony Update Service but nothing changed.
Edit: I have latest stock firmware which happens to be 6.1.1.B.1.75
Did anybody have same issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rizwan

[Q] Exit camera app causing volume to go up and can't close screen

Hi,
I've a bug that when i exit the camera app my volume goes all the way up, then i can only lower the volume but can't boost it up back again, only after device restart or if i go back inside the camera app.
For some reason after upgrading now to 4.2.2 i have another issue with this.
When it happen i can't also close the screen (clicking on the off button), and same, only after device restart or entering the camera app it works.
I tried to change ROM, Stock ROM, other versions, open the device to clean it.. everything i could do.
Nothing on the forums suggest the same problem.
Does someone encounter the same problem?

Solution for Random Reboots(MOTO E)

I have been playing with my MOTO E for quite a few days.
The ONE thing that kept bothering me for all these days were the Random Reboots.
After trying many thing finally I have come up with a practical solution to this problem.
I have been having random reboots with the Stock Rom as well as other Custom Roms. Usually while pressing the power button the power menu used to appear for few seconds and then without pressing anything the phone to restart, and this happened with the stock rom as well as other custom roms. I had contacted Motorola, they had asked me to boot into SAFE mode and see if the problem persisted , and it did. So I started using the trail and error method and what I found out that it's a hardware issue, or a issue with how our power button works.
SOLUTION :
So basically what I did is I replaced the power button with the Volume buttons for waking up the device, and for putting it to sleep i assigned the pull up gesture(which is usually for launching google now). I assigned the sleep function in CM11 for the pull up gesture(if you are using the stock rom you'll need to use screen lock apps which allows that function).
After applying this, I have been using my phone for about a month now, WITHOUT a single random reboot.
This is a simple yet effective solution.
Hopefully this'll help you and save you those annoying random reboots.
Can you please explain in detail ? I am using stock rom, and my phone reboots randomly few times a day.

Use "Pocket Lock" application to lock and unlock/wake your device instead of the power button and check if the problem persist...!!
Hello,
as I was going mad with the "Power Button random reboot", I discovered your helpful post. I didn't know it was possible to set the phone to wake up on volume buttons. On the other hand CM allows you to put your phone in sleep mode touching the notify bar twice.
Half a day with these settings, it seems good, Moto E has a real problem with power button, now I have to control myself not to touch it anymore !
Thanks.
