Anyone else got an issue where you can't power your phone off? Long press power button brings up the menu, selecting power off, does nothing?
Still on .55 firmware in UK.
Cheers

Does it turn off and on when you push the power button? if so then it is working. What you need to do is go to settings, then power, then advanced, then on battery power set the minutes or seconds to turn of the device. Or maybe your device's buttons are accidentally pressed so what you need to do is button lock it so that it won't get pressed accidentally.
master g.
Not sure if this is what you mean but I was confused by the on/off switch on my IIi, I kept turning the backlight off rather than getting it to suspend.
The trick is to just press the power button for a short time and it will go off/on. If you hold it down you only put the back light on/off. I guess I shoulda read the manual.
First post btw, hi all.
The problem is, when you press the power button, it goes off just for a second then turns on again. I have changed the backlight and power settings, but still it just wont go to suspend mode. Even when pressing the suspend icon button in SBP Pocket Plus, the unit behaves the same. All I do now is turn off the backlight by pressing the power button for more than a second and just let the today screen be on, but it is eating away my battery life...
please help.
thanks
hard Reset ... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Need some help !
The HTC Jet stream does not power on - strange problem.
Unit used to work perfect till today - however suddenly the unit does not power on.
1. Battery is fully charged
2. The orange led on the power button is "on" even when its NOT Charging
3. pressing the power on does not do anything.
Tried several things, like doing a "hard reset" from the buttons, by pressing the volume down and at the same time pressing or holding the power - NOTHING help.
The ORANGE screen on the power is "on" with the charger or without it.
Any of you guys have a smart idea to try ?
Anyone know if there is a "hidden" reset button ?
problem was solved !
press & hold the power button for 20 seconds & at the same time press the volume button.
This has released the "stuck status" and the jet stream has back to live as normal.
FIXED!!!

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.
After Rebooting the HTC Radar yesterday, it reboots every time in "Serial Mode". There are some options on the Screen like APPSBL, Image SRC and Factory Reset". Every time i long press the Power Button, it comes back to this Screen. Today in the Morning i preset Power + Volume Down + Camera Button and it boots up normal. All Data are there, but i cant use the Hardware Volume Buttons anymore. If i press this Buttons, nothing on the Device responds.
Does anyone have a idea, what i can do? The rest of the Device seems to work ok.

Now after some days, they work both. First only the volume down, some days later, also the Volume Up. I think there was some steam in the shower which disfuncts the buttons. but thx for your suggestion.

Naaahhh...! its a job.....! just keep your phone away from moisture.....!
Hi all, as the title suggests, what once worked for me and im sure most of you no longer works for me.
I press the power button to get the menu. airplane mode, screen shot etc all work but when i press the option to power off nothing happens.
If i hold it down for a few seconds to get safe mode, this does work but instead reboots into safe mode which isnt what im after.
The only work around i have found is to remove my sim card which initiates a reboot.
Its not critical but not sure why all of a sudden this no longer works for me. Any ideas?
Only thing I can think of is to make sure that quick boot isn't ticked in developer options, on mine with that option unticked the phone powers off fine but when quick boot is ticked & you press the power button then tap power off it nothing happens other than the power menu vanishing.

I was starting to pull my hair out from frustration and you've saved me from going bald lol. Thanks heaps, your advice was spot on

Your welcome mate, glad you got it sorted
Another thing to keep in mind in the future is if you have a hard crash, you can force power-off/reboot if you hold volume up + power or press the little red button next to the sim-card tray.
