Anybody experienced about 1/2 to a second delay on screen wake up from pushing the power button after screen has been off for at least 2 mins or so?
Your inputs are very much appreciated!!
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,
Hi everyone.
I just wanted to ask if somebody knows a way to wake the phone (display) just with the home button? My display is often turned on by the power button unintentionally because i always cary my phone in my pocket. The home button on the other hand is well protected by the samsung flipcover i'm using. so, if there is a way, than i could save a lot of screen-on-time and therefore battery.
Hi. I've just received a new 9S and would like to know if I can extend the timeout of the the volume adjuster (when pressing the volume buttons on the side)?
I hope that makes sense, the volume sliders appear for about 2 seconds but ideally, I'd like them to be visible a little longer.
Thanks in advance of any help you can provide (MIUI 11.0.3).
