I'm not having a lot of luck finding solutions for this Samsung Galaxy Go5 phone. My latest problem is that taking screenshots by holding the Power button down and tapping Home doesn't work anymore. It took forever to figure it out when I got the phone, and I made a point of writing the process to a text file. It took precision timing. But no matter how many combinations of timing I try now, I can't get any to work.
The other button combination of holding Power and both Volume buttons down simultaneously and tapping Home never worked. It just changes the volume level.
And I see no screenshot options in Android 6.0.1 anywhere.
Any suggestions for getting this to work folks?

My contacts and calendar keys do not power it on either. Also, if you press one of those, it seems to lock out the power button for a few seconds. If you press them multiple times, it may take a while before it will power on. Mine always responds instantly to the power button as long as I have not pressed one of the others.
options
There are options, under security settings I think.
I have mine selected. It only allows the XDA to be switched on by pressing the power button. Doesn't always seem successful though..
I quite often sit on mine, so the key-lock feature is absolutely essential...

I'm not sure what the cause of it is, but perhaps you guys can help me out.
I've had my Optimus V for a while now and have flashed IHO-backside to it in December.
Recently, my camera button has been acting very strange. You see, it still functions as a camera button. Holding it down (completely) will launch the right app, hold it down (loosely) focuses the camera, and pressing it down completely will take a snapshot. That's all fine and dandy.
However... When I'm not in a camera app the camera button takes on a different set of functions. For some reason, lightly touching the button triggers a Volume Up, Volume Down, and/or Voice button press. I'm not sure why this happens. It's very strange. If you even so much as to come to physical contact with the button, it will send those "button presses" above. Clicking the button still works correctly, though.
I went into the ClockworkMod recovery to double check the key presses for it. It was VERY difficult because pressing the camera button to select an option will trigger the Vol up, Vol down and Voice presses making me select the wrong options in the recovery menu. Anyway, the following gets returned when lightly tapping the camera button:
key 115, key 114, key 216. (Vol up, Vol down, and Voice)
I checked the key file located here: /system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl and found that everything is still mapping to the right buttons.
Can someone please tell me what's going on and how to make it stop doing this?
Anyone?
Update - While holding power button and volume up then letting go of volume up after
2 or 3 seconds while both screen black or on first boot screen for a nano second I
get a standing up android with blue atoms going around it's stomach. then goes
onto the lying down android with red triangle. Will I need to insert an sd card with some
kind of software downloaded on it for this whole format to work?
Here's all the problems. Woke up in morning and tablet chose to be stuck on 'android' animated(shine effect going across 'Android')
boot screen. I have made no modifications to the files etc, just stopped working.
To help you maybe know what tablet i got here are the two boot screens:
(Well i would post images if the forum didn't have silly restrictions on it)
#1

#2
s8.postimage.org/4xsov8n8l/CIMG3094.jpg
Anyway looked all over the net and the seen power button & volume key and it doesn't work. Here's what I get and what i tried.
#1 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)
Hold volume and power button until first screen
appears then next let go of power button but still holding
volume key just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.
(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.
But! Holding down power button and volume up button until 1st screen with tiny
little android in circle then releasing power button takes me to the green android lying down
with red triangle
#2 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)
Hold power button until first screen appears
then next hold volume key and still holding
volume key but release power button just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.
(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.)
Basically to cut it short I have looked via google search and come across plenty of forums
and tried to access the screen which lets me format the device but so far has become uncessesful
I hope the images help you know which device I have and also the photo of the tablet it's self to help you know
(it has no buttons on it except the power and volume key and has no small(tiny) or big reset button to press
from what I can tell.
(Again i would post an image here too if it didn't have silly restrictions)

Hi all.
I have a phone Samsung 920I not "L"
OK to start from the beginning. I am new to this and followed steps from watching Channel48 on YouTube. Not blaming him it's just so you have an Idia of where I got my info from.
Instlled Odin
I installed twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img and it didn't work.
I then found twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img and installed it over the top, Now works when booting into recovery.
I then installed 920F Samsung recover file that was only about 25Mb in size and got my phone working again.
left it for a day then tried again.
Installed twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img with Oden. works
Installed: EvolutionX_4.1.69_zerofltexx-10.0-20200331-0232-OFFICIAL Works I was happy Looked at "About" and it now says my phone is 920F :/ Andoird 10 cool it works so who cares if it says 920F right!!!
I then booted back into Recovery and Installed: open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200228 and that said it successfully installed and I swiped to restart the phone.
My phone powered off and that's where this ends.
I have tried holding the power button for about 30sec and nothing happens I tried plugging into the charger and it doesn't respond to show it's charging
Is there something I can do now or is the phone dead This is my main phone as I love the Samsung S6 over the rest because it has the main buttons, not on touchscreen and IR so I can use the phone as a remote.
Thanks
edit. update
I got my phone working again. I will leave this thread incase someone else asks the same thing.
How I got my phone to work again. This is what I found on Google search and I will BOLD the option that turned my phone on.
Press and hold Power button for more than 20 seconds to check whether it turns on your phone or not.
Press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold Power button until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold the Power + Home buttons until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button (totally 2 buttons) until your screen displays something.
Press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds and without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button + Home button until your screen displays something.
