Somehow I'm a little frustrated. I've brought my phone since today. So it is currently on Lollipop. There is no Power in setting to uncheck Fastboot. Is there any way I can root my phone? Please help me out.
The "Fast boot" option in Power settings no longer exists on this phone, and therefore nothing needs to be unchecked.
It never made that much difference when modding to begin with, once you understood: the only reason it mattered, is that in the "power off" condition, it didn't really a truly reboot the phone when you powered on again ("fast boot" was just a deep sleep trick, not a real power off or reboot). And therefore, it would prevent folks from entered bootloader using button combos.
But the "Restart" option when you held the power button was always a true reboot (and allowed bootloader access via button combo).

I'm not sure if this is normal or just something I've messed around with. My phone keeps shutting down in my pocket because the power button is fully functional even while the phone is locked, so long pressing it turns my phone off.
I've had the phone for months but the issue came up just recently. I have WidgetLocker enabled and
Im not sure if this hass something to do with me using the "Disable Stockholms Lock Screen" option. I've already tried disabling Easy Wake and disabling WidgetLocker but nothing seems to help.
Is this normal or have I done something stupid with my device? And if it's just me being an idiot can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Im using Cognition 1.31 and the newest WidgetLocker
Sounds normal.
If the power button is pressed for ~10seconds, or something like that, the phone powers off, no matter what the opinion of the running OS about the matter is (i.e. the OS can't prevent it).
It's a hardware trigger, kind of an "emergency off" for situations where a clean shutdown isn't possible for whatever reason.
So you better see that nothing pushes on that power button while the phone is in your pocket.
Alright thank you. It is necessary to have a way to shut the phone down with an actual button but it would be better if it was two or three buttons that have to be pressed at the same time. I just can't figure out why I haven't had my phone shutting down before. Maybe the power button has loosened so it needs less force to be pushed
I am looking for a way to prevent my phone from being turned off while in my pocket. I have the 2.2.1 update and have not experienced the automatic powering off, and am pretty sure it is me somehow pressing the power button then pressing off on the power options screen.
-Perhaps there is a way to change the power options screen so it requires a phone unlock before it appears?
-Port the HTC Hero lockscreen which prevents the power options screen appearing unless it has been unlocked?
-Change the power button behavior somehow?
I am quite new to this phone, and have yet to root the phone, but I will root the phone if I have to.
Please let me know if this is possible in any way!

Best advice I can give off the top of my head is to use quickboot which requires root. It requires you to go through a few menus before you power it off. Or you might try getting some sort of proximity sensor app, so that the screen won't come on while in your pocket.
This is an extremely simple guide for those who are not familiar with the opportunity of going into safe mode. Safe mode disables all your third party apps and prevents them from doing anything on your device. You can install and remove new apps, but you can't open any. This is also helpful to determine whether your battery genuinely is bad, or if it is an app or two who are the culprits.
To enter safe mode:
Press and hold the power button until the 'Phone options' menu pop up.
This gives you three main options - power off, restart or turn airplane mode on.
To enter safe mode you have to press and hold 'power off' for about 3 seconds. It will then ask you whether you want to boot into safe mode or not. (Tested on D802).
On some device models, you have to tap and hold 'reboot device' in order to get that option.
It works flawlessly and in order to turn it off, you just reboot your device. During safe mode, the phone can be used as usual, with the exception of 3rd party apps.
Hope this helps!

Or, from the phone turned off, press power until the LG logo appears, release power and press the volume up button + volume down until the phone boot. You'll boot in safe mode

Thanks for guide
Hello,
I think I might be at the end of the road with my tablet. I've never rooted it or tampered with it in an way, however yesterday it locked up so I did the usual soft reset (hold power and vol+ for 10 seconds) I then turned it back on and the sony logo popped up, but there it just hung. If I press and hold the power button it switches off, a brief press on the power button brings it back on in the same state. So I go Googling, including looking at threads on this site, all seemed to advise to try to get the Android recovery menu up. on the Sony this is done by holding the power and vol+ and then releasing the power button (only) when the son logo appears (this process to be started when the tablet is off) so I did this, and no response at all. Worse than that, where it would turn on and instantly hang, it now doesn't turn on at all. Hooking it up to my PC I can see the device in device manager, but it tells me my usb device has malfunctioned.
At the moment, my thoughts are to open it up, to:
1. Check that the power/volume buttons aren't stuck in some way (preventing the boot command being given correctly)
2. Remove and resolder if necessary internal battery to force a power cycle.
3. Bin it and get something new (it is 2.5yrs old so no big loss i suppose)
Any ideas where to look or similar experiences?
Thanks
Just got my lp2 and it's a neat little minimal android device. The farthest I've gotten is not very far, but I can post here in case anyone's looking.

fastboot:
you can enter fast boot by "hard rebooting": hold the lock and tool button simultaneously for 20-30 seconds, the phone should vibrate, then the screen will flash and it will show the "go light" screen, then turn off. Hold the power button again to turn it on, but hold the vol down button. It should stay on the "go light" screen. If it's plugged into your computer usb,
Code:
fastboot devices
should now list it. I also found it in usb info as having manufacturer "Google", while in the normal mode it has manufacturer "Android".
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
does not work.
To resume normal booting, press the lock button again.
safe mode:
if you reboot and hold down the ringer up + ringer down keys, it'll boot the phone into "safe mode". I'm not yet sure how safe mode is different from normal mode, other than there will be faint text at the bottom right of the screen saying "Safe mode". Rebooting will return it to the "normal" mode.
Has anyone else gotten any further? It's running a nonstandard base for android, so developer mode doesn't seem accessible from the menus. I'd like to at least get adb shell on this thing, but my endgoal is sideloading apps.
