Is there a way to bind this to the long press on the lock/power button on the side?

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

I have been using this app for almost 2 years. Grab the app "Swipepad" and its probably the quickest way to reboot or boot to recovery

I disagree, if you are using The Base this is the quickest way to reboot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035273

Hi all,
I would like to know how to restart or reboot SGS2 like what we do in windows phones. I am not talking about factory reset just restart...

Flash a rom which has advanced power menu then select reboot after pressing power button. (most roms have this)
Or there is an app called quick boot or fast boot something like that. You can reboot using that as well.

a million thanks, that's what I was looking for.
I have tried it. The phone was off but it never boot again. Just stay off. Am I making any mistake? Whenever I press and hold the power button, on the screen will appear several choices, one of them is the power off. But I just ignored it and keep pressing the power button.

+1, the phone does not reboot, just switches off. Need to power up again!
Push and HOLD all together: Volume up, on/off and Menu Key.
After some seconds it reboots (still hold the keys) and it runs in a selection menu. Here you can select " Warmstart" or clear cache before and then do a Warmstart.
Nothing will be destroyed, because its NOT a Factory reset (Coldstart).
???? Some crazy suggestions here.
Anyway, get SwitchPro widget (from the Market). There's a reboot button in it that pops up a menu for reboot, download or recovery.
It needs root to work. Any software method of rebooting your device will need root.

Okay, in that case, you need to use the power menu that you have to turn the phone off, and turn it back on again.

Which phone are these options on???
Warmstart ?? or do you just mean reboot which is the same as powering phone off and then on via power button and avoids recovery menu .

1) I have installed CWM v5.0.2.2 and can get into cwm, however when I choose any option from the list it only goes as far as the cwm top-hat. I've used cwm for a long time on Captivates and never encountered this problem.
2) Once I've installed either Cognition X2 or DailyDrive 10092011, will I be able to shut data off?
Any feedback would be welcome.
Power doesn't select. Use the home key to select.

Yea I had read that but still same issue. I think I'll try re-flashing it.
Hi,
I was used to use the Resurrection remix ROM or AOKP based ROM, and the screenshot of the phone was easily made by pressing the power button which open the "reboot, shutdown..." menu and there was a screenshot option.
But now I'm using the Omega ROM, based on the samsung official ROM, and I can't find how to make a screenshot.
Can someone tell me how ?

It's a bit funny, you have to press and hold them both at exactly the same time. If you press home or power first it'll just register thst keypress.

You're right.

This is useful since usually the key combinations do not require such synchronization.

This was brought up multiple times already, and several people (including yours truly ) provided that particular info...
I tried to install cm-10.1-M2 using CWM, latest version. I selected to have it wipe everything and to back up the original ROM. It failed because it couldn't "find" the ZIP. Something to do with the obnoxious way Samsung treats internal memory as "sdcard" and the actual sdcard as "external_sd." I said ****it and copied the ZIPs over to the internal SD and tried again. Did not wipe the second time. Now it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and will NOT boot into CWM for nothing. Am I just screwed? Is there something I'm missing?
Solved: I was using the wrong button combo for recovery mode (it's power, volume up, AND volume down) and you have to do the factory reset/wipe AFTER flashing the ROM, not before. Thanks to everyone! I may feel stupid but I have a working phone with sweet sweet 4.2.2 now. :good:

Go back into recovery and do a complete wipe. Then see if she will boot.

I've tried volume up + power + home plus a ton of variations. Everything I've found online says it should be volume up + power + home though.

Listen how new are you to this? I'm not being smart just wanna help are you pressing up the power and middle button once you feel the power come on it should vibrate then let go of the power while remaining to hold the middle and volume. If you hold them all it never worked for me just a tip.

I've got to wonder what we are working on here. My I717 has neither a home or middle button. Op ... Do you have the Note or the Note 2. Also wondering if you flash the proper rom for your phone.

Power off your device. Then press the power button again and immediately hold both the volume up and volume down buttons until after the Samsung logo disappears. It should be really fast.

Thanks for working with me. On my phone, home is not a physical "clicky" button, it's one of the soft buttons along the bottom of the front to the left of the back buttom . I tried to link to a photo but I'm too new to be allowed to post outside links. If volume up + power +home isn't it, how do you boot it into recovery?
It's definitely a Note 1 AT&T and an I717. As for the ROM, I used the latest quincyatt from get.cm
Re: [Q] Bircked trying to install cm-10.1-M2
Hold down the volume button in between the up and down so you are pressing both and power. Once you feel the vibration release the power button. Another user in this thread had mentioned this but it seems it was over looked

I could have sworn I had tried that but... well, it worked. I feel stupid but I am grateful. I neglected the factory reset/wipe step after flashing the ROM. It's working now. Thank you very much.

Hey guys, I just got my rooted and S-Off'd DNA! I checked and it has root and I checked and it is S-Off. The phone came to me with Torrented's ROM on it. But when I hold the volume up button and the power button, it won't boot into recovery. I get the white HTC splash screen and then it reboots again into the splash screen again. If I let go, it will reboot into the phone like normal.
Am I doing something wrong? There should be a custom recovery installed already correct?
Thanks!

I also noticed that if you have the fast boot/shutdown option checked that it is harder to get into the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
For anyone else coming through, you should disable fast boot to get into recovery. Also, when in doubt, use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
Booting Into Recovery
OOR, you can turn off phone completly, then turn back on as you hear the first vibrate-let go of power, then hold Volume down. (Sameo Samo...:fingers-crossed
Or, he can get a Note2.
I have fastboot selected and access bootloader everytime by holding power button, capacitive buttons flash and pop up counts down to reboot, as soon as the pop up comes up continue to hold power down and press and hold vol down till bootloader is displayed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you have adb set up, a simple way to do this is to just run "adb reboot recovery"
