Very strange... Suddenly my "Restart" and "Shutdown" button stopped to work. Nothing happens when i click the Icons. "Flightmode" and "Sound" works ok.
I need to restart my phone to get mobile data to work.
What can i do? Is hard reset the only way or has anyone any suggestion.

Hello, according to Sprint customer service, my Photon apparently came shipped associated with my Sprint Airrave. It will not activate now. The Sprint rep says that we need to do a hard reset, however, we can't do it without getting past the initial activation screen, and I can't get past that screen because it is associated with the airrave. A vicious circle.
Does anyone know how to do a hard reset without being in the phone software. Is there a combination of buttons to press?
I'd love to get this phone activated tonight as it will be an inconvenience to try to get to a sprint store.
Thanks!
Dan

Perform a factory reset using external keys
Note: It is highly recommended you use the above factory reset using the settings. Making a mistake using the factory reset using external key method could have very bad consequences.
If you are unable to navigate through the menu to perform a factory data reset, you can follow the steps outlined below:
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.
Power down
Hold volume down and power until you see fastboot
Press volume down until you see Android Recovery
Press volume up
When the triangle pops up hold volume down and press power(took me about a minute of pressing for a response)
A menu will pop up, scroll down with volume to factory reset and push the power button
Reboot and you should be good to go

Thank you for your response!
I got as far as the triangle, but no further. I've tried twice, but will keep trying. Let me know if you have other ideas.
Thanks!

Just to confirm, at the triangle I hold volume down and press power.
Does this mean press and hold power or press the power button repeatedly? I've tried both for more than a minute (maybe more than two). Perhaps I'll try for longer.
UPDATE:
I seem to have gotten it to work by pressing both the up and down volume buttons at the same time from the screen with the triangle.
Thanks for your help!

You can achieve the same result with tapping several times the "menu" button (the left touch button) until you'll see the "back button enabled" notification on screen.
Hello. Recently my Galaxy s2 power button hasn't been working. As in when I either hold it down or press it, it doesn't lock the screne or pull the power menu. It works now and then but yeah I have to press it over and over again.I plan on getting it repaired soon but I'm looking for an workaround. I've seen apps that let me turn my phone off, lock it and such but nothing brings open the power menu button with screenshot, recovery mode, airplane mode and such. Is there anything like that out there? That with a press of the button it would open up my power menu options
try rom manager

Use "Button Savior" from Play Store.
It is just HW buttons on screen including power button. (Like Nexus On-Screen Keys)
And it has long press power menu also, which shows Screenshot, Airplane, Silent etc.
P.S.
[Free advice]
If you get that button repaired, use something like Proximity Sensor based app which locks and unlocks phone screen. So power button will be used less.
(I know this consumes a bit more battery, but still battery is lot cheap and easy to change than power button)
[/Free Advice]
Press Thanks if helped.

Long press power button.
On the power off menu: long press the power off button onscreen. Boot into safe mode.
From safe mode you reboot. Regular reboot.
You will get the button back. :good:

I just installed the Octane Fitness App, Smartlink. After running it for a few minutes, it locked up. Now when I press on the screen for anything, it doesn't work. Only the hard buttons work. I tried rebooting, but it reloads this buggy app and then the same problem happens over again. Does anyone have any advice on how to get it to not load the app so I can uninstall it? Am I going to have to do a factory reset and if so, how do I do one on this tablet? I can't find info anywhere and Samsung support is utterly useless.
Thank you.
Factory reset:
Power Tablet Off
Press and hold: Home + Volume Up + Power until the recovery screen loads
Select Factory Reset and follow on-screen prompts
