Question Power On/Off Button Issue - Realme GT 2 Pro

Hi, i have Global Version with newest software. I have a issue with my phone. When I hold power button i don't receive options with power off, reboot ect. Only works on/off screen with click button. And now my question: did any of you have the same? For me it looks like software problem, because when I install application from Google Play something like Reboot everything's work. But it's anoying when all life you hold button and you have that option in android... In all phone there is no option to power off, restart device. Maybe someone have an idea? Thanks

Hold power + volume up for 3 seconds and power menu will appear

I have the Chinese version and the power button lint press launches an assistant feature. But if I press it longer, it loads the power options. Try pressing it longer hopefully it resolves the issue

You need to push all buttons (power and vol +) in the same time and power menu is working, ofc it's better to hold power button instead but it's better than nothing

Thanks tried again and it works still the software still feels a bit buggy but we should expect that with a new phone software updates should clear that.

For me it's not so bad at this state. Sometimes i have a glitch with screen freeze when I go to settings, or something like that. Previously i have a Mi 9 and it was for 3 years (now much software problems, Xiaomi: to much phones, to much software) but this phone is a rocket. Little software upgrades and it will be very good.

thanks this worked for me on global

yes, same goes with me. tried combined key then accidentally found how to turn off this device. really annoying.
also after update to newer version, AOD not working anymore. and I dont know if finger print reader not always standby? before I am using Mi note 10 pro, and this phone can unlock it without need to wake up the device.
have bug also in 3D photos, the image not separated at all, so the result only photos with wobble movement. Hopes realme fix it soon.

Yeah, I also had this problems. The only way I found to solve it was to factory reset the device and do a clean install WITHOUT Cloud backup from Google (if I restore from Google, AOD, fingerprint icon, etc.. not working)

I found another bug. Hidden apps have a bug. It always unlock when I unlock the phone. It should be using secret code to activate the hidden folder, but now each time I unlock the phone using finger print, it automatically popup the hidden apps folder in unlock state.
Rather than hidden the apps, now apps that I want to hide became always appear right after unlock the phone screen.

[Q] Disable power button menu in lock screen

Is there a way to disable the menu option when long pressing the power button when the phone is in lock mode?
My phone is switching its self off sometimes while in my pocket.
I have tried widget locker but that does the same as the stock screen and still offers this menu while the phone is locked.
I'm using Redmi Note 8 pro Miui 12 Global Rom Android 10 i not found the option sec_key.kl
I can't answer your question directly other than to say you may be blaming the wrong thing - is it really possible that you can keep sustained preasure on the switch for about 8 seconds?
Is it possible that your phone may be rebooting / hanging / freezing in your pocket like mine and many others are?
Have a look here and here to start
Two seconds is enough in my stock lockscreen. So it's very much possible.
Stupid how the shutdown-window is accessible through the lockscreen. Takes away the whole function of this so called lockscreen..

I agree. For me, it's just under a second. I mean come on. Really?

But you then have to select "Power off" and then click "OK". Are you suggesting that's happening in your pocket?

Tapping or pressing thepower button will bring the swipe screen / lock screen back but this does not stitch off the phone!
From OFF, if I press and hold the power switch, the lock screen comes on, then goes off after 5 seconds. At this point, the phone has not shut down.
From OFF, if I hold the button down for about 9 seconds, it does shut down.
As I said, I don't think this is all that easy to do by accident - maybe even impossible! BTW, my phone is stock.
I'd still say it's the dreaded phantom rebooter

Never mind, you're right about that. I stand corrected. It takes a lot of effort to shut your phone off with the power button, so that can't be the reason OP's phone is shutting off.

Thanks very much for this
Just removed the wake option from the power button.
To answer a few other posts. The few times it has switched off it has only been while in my jacket pocket. Carrying my niece, seat belt on/off etc. I know it appears difficult to replicate but I have not had any other issues like mentioned in the other forums linked in post 2.
The reason I think its the power button is because I have taken my phone out of my pocket recently and noticed that the menu to shut down has been visable on the screen. I haven't had an issue of it turning off while on a desk etc which is why I think its the power button.
I may be wrong and if it carries on turning off I will look at other options but I do think its silly (how ever hard to replicate) that an option to access the shut down menu while in lock mode is stupid.
By removing the option to wake from the power button and setting widgetlocker to block homehelper there is no way to access the menu the power button had until the phone is unlocked. Which is how the lock screen should work regardless of if it solves my problem or not.
For SGS2 users, I used Root Explorer to edit:
Code:
/System/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl
I found the following line:
Code:
key 116 POWER WAKE
To disable the Power button from waking up your device, simple delete the word 'WAKE', save the file, and reboot.
Cheers to the others in the HD2 thread for the tip.

i have the same phantom restart problem......but i cant access the phone to use the root explorer ....wat should i do????
Hi all i made an app to avoid this, blocking power menu on lockscreen no need of root working on 2.2+ and you can set up a custom menu (power and reboot need root) so you should take a look and if you like please leave a 5 stars, or let me know any issues

Nice, this was exactly what I was looking for on my Nexus 4 running 4.3 and Cerberus. Unfortunately only the power off menu is disabled (it just flashes for a millisecond) but long pressing the power button still shuts off the phone...

Hero-Power Button problem

Hello guys. At first i´m so sorry for my bad english, so i´ll show you a video of my problem.
Phone - HTC Hero, Android 2,1
Video:
I can´t post outside links in my messages...
youtube. com/watch?v=V1BwQZsoKCk
It will not go to sleep mode when pressing the end/power key. But it still takes phone OUT of sleep mode, but now I have to wait for the screen timeout instead of pressing the button again.
I tried to find answer to my question, but i failed... I tried Reboot, Spare Parts - i don´t know if it worked properly, Hard reset, but the power button still not working properly.
Thank you! Marty

Now i did a ROOT and i try to flash in some ROMs but it still not works + it cancels my outcoming and incoming calls...
Sounds like you have a failing power button.. like I do.
It's a real pain in the ass... been looking for solutions for quite a while, besides physically replacing the circuit board the button is on...
I know this is old but for anybody researching the same problem... after trying MANY different apps for taking over power button tasks, the only real solution was to buy a replacement "Flex Cable" assembly on eBay. Takes some bravery to install but everything works now.
But that's just my experience.
I suppose that the simplest way out id button remapper that you can find hear at xda.
By using such software you can easily turn any of the other physical keys of your device into the power button.

True, and they did work once the phone was up and running. However, when something went wrong on my rom and I needed to get into recovery to re-flash... I was SOL.
Yes, remapping is applied only after the kernel is loaded... So remapping is quite useless if the phone is switched off.

[Q] Hook into power button

If I write an app, is it possible to to override the default functionality of the hardware power button?
I only found this on google, but it didn't work:
stackoverflow.com/questions/3703071/how-to-hook-into-the-power-button-in-android
Thank you!
I would be interested in an app to do this, as well as bringing up the power menu as holding the power button usually does.
The power button on my Desire has issues letting go... the phone seems to think that the button is always pressed, effectively making me unable to "press" the button when I want. Pretty certain it is mechanical failure, since if I take the battery out and then put back in, the phone turns on without my doing anything else. So, I cannot shutdown via the power menu... tried apps which use SU to power off/reboot, but they are causing problems with Data2Ext and A2SD+ filesystems. I also cannot do anything from hboot or fastboot... must enter recovery through a root app.. which is not always helpful.
Been looking for several months

I would really like for this too.
I am trying to do an in-dash install of a 7inch tablet and it is unable to sense when the power is removed. I have also tried running Tasker but it says 'Application not installed'.
So I would like to send a pulse to the power button and trigger a shutdown app. Otherwise I will just be cutting power which is sure to corrupt things
It's Needed!!!

Software to Diagnose a Phone over USB

Is there any software or commands I could use to diagnose my phone over USB? The screen is black, even during boot (no logos), but the phone is still working in the background. The notification LED blinks normally, menu and back button lights up when pressed, and it even rings when someone calls, though I can't see who it is b/c of the black screen. The screen is not cracked or damaged, and I didn't drop it, so not sure why this is happening. I want to test the GPU or other components before I put down a lot of money for a new screen and it no resolve the issue.
Phone is a rooted SM-N910V that has been working great for 3 months.
Thank you!

Hi , try with key kombination .
1. Make sure your phone is OFF
2.Now Press toghether Vol + and power button and hold like that until second vibration (reboot)
3. If that doesn't work try with another combination .

Thanks for the suggestions, though I have already tried all those plus other things.
I've left the battery out for over a day, removed sim card, held power button in to drain any residue power.
I'm lost as to why all of sudden the black screen. Hoping there's a way to test the phone to confirm if its the lcd or something else like the gpu chip. On a laptop you could plug a monitor in the vga port, don't guess phones have this option

I read that the phone was rooted so maybe that custom rom has some bug and that way you get black screen .
Try to flash him back to stock firmware and see if the problem is solved .
It is just rooted on the standard firmware, I didn't install any custom firmwares. But I was wondering if I could possibly reflash it from a backup I made with twrp. I cant get to recovery, well actually I could if I new the exact steps since everything works, I just cant see crap.
Is this even possible or is there another way to access twrp over the usb?

Vibration issue?

I've had my s9+ for like almost a month now, and today it started doing something weird, it started vibrating randomly, I shut it off and the problem was gone, but now everytime I press the Bixby button (that I have disabled) it starts vibrating nonstop so I have to restart my phone. Also now everytime that I unlock my phone it makes a double vibration EVERYTIME, either I unlock it with intelligent scan or my fingerprints. As soon as it launches the main screen it makes a double vibration (like buzz buzz)

To boot into safe mood.
Press and hold the Power button until the Power off prompt appears then release.
Touch and hold Power off until the Safe mode prompt appears then release.
To confirm, tap Safe mode. The process may take up to 30 seconds to complete. ...
if the problem persists
-Try factory reset
- Hardware fault
doesn't?
- Means one of your third party app is causing this

Well, I have done that and the problem is gone, so I'm assuming that it's a third party app just like you said. Now the problem is, I don recall having any new app installed recently...
It looks like malware, I encourage you to do a Factory Reset by Recovery Mode:
With the phone off press Power + Volume up + Bixby button at the same time until you see a blue screen saying installing updates then release the three buttons and navigate with volume keys to Factory Data Reset press power, select yes, power and Reboot System Now.
NOTE: Before doing this backup your data and logout of your Google n/or Samsung Account. If you don't logout you'll be locked out of your phone if you don't remember the password of these accounts because it triggers FRP Protection.
and yes, if u want a straight fix, do a factory reset and monitor every app you install
OR if you are feeling adventure / want to learn more / curiousity
u can go in to device maintenance and do a security scan + check on every single app u installed.
check app like
home launcher,
lock screen,
"change bixby key" app,
those ram/cache cleaner app (this app have a options that when u lock and unlock screen it will clear ram/cache auto - useless in android and battery waster)
or u can screenshot your app drawer here and let us have a look.
I've done the factory reset and the problem is gone, but seriously I don't remember having ANY weird app installed before the reset, anyway the problem is solved and I'm happy thanks a lot to everyone who responded.
Also in another matter, have you gotten the March or even April security patch yet? Because I'm still on February patch...
