Here's a silly question,
How do I tell if the N1 is off? Without turning it on?
There have been several times where I've turned it off for the night (force of habit), and later couldn't remember whether or not I had in fact turned it off...
Of course hitting the power button only turns it on if it was in fact off... meaning that I have to wait a whole boot cycle before shutting it down again.
Am I missing something here?

YES the correct forum.. Nexus One Q&A
For all your questions about the Google Nexus One
... but in answer to your Q, perhaps a momentary press of the power button when it is OFF will not turn it on. There fore it is OFF?

Even a short press turns mine on too
Use the trackball to wake mod. Then you can just hit the trackball, if nothing, the phone is off .
Hit the volume keys...
dang, absolutely correct. moved to other forum.

Hey yall, Back when I didn't know any better I had an iphone and the power button was broken so I had an app that when I double clicked the home button it would turn off the screen.
I went to CM setting and found the thing that let me use the trackball to turn ON the phone, but Is it possible to get something simialer to what I had on the iPhone? a double click to turn off the screen thingy for the trackball?
Reteach yourself to use the power button the correct way.
Yeah that ^
Seriously you are going to kill the life of that track ball lol
I'd like to know an answer to this too, simply because my power button no longer works!

Hi.
Any ideas on how to get the "hold to boot" function back after unlocking a Nexus One?
It's really annoying, that the phone boots by just touching the power button.
If I'm not sure, my phone is off, the only way to check it is by pressing the power button once to get the screen to go on. But if it's off, it starts booting.
Thread moved in Nexus One Q&A.
I know it's not what you've asked for, but one way around it would be to use CPUStatusLED. That way if the LED is not ON, you know the phone is OFF
Um... even stock there's no "hold to boot" function. Simply tapping the power button will turn it on.

Actually, you're wrong. A stock, non-rooted, "locked" one requires you to hold the power button for a while to boot. It's when you unlock the phone with fastboot "oem unlock" when it changes.

Does it eat up battery too much?
Dunno about yours but when it was stock, mine just turned on pushing the power button
A workaround could be, enabling your phone to wake using the trackball. You could check that way

This was how YOURS behaved, or you know this for a fact? I know my N1 starts up with just a press.
I rarely turn it off, however....

The reason I always press the power button, is because I got used to confirm the phone was off, prior rooting. I bought a non carrier one, maybe the carrier versions are different.
I tried the trackball method, but I keep pressing it accidentally on my pocket.
I'm tring the CPU LED one now.
But I would actually prefer one, that just blinks a blue light every few seconds.
Has anyone created one to do that?
Oh, and thanks for the suggestions.

Well, mine did. As well as my old ADP1 did prior rooting.
Mine never worked like that when it was stock and locked. One single, fast press and it booted.
CPU statusled is probably a good solution, or just trackball wake.
Well mine was unlocked as soon as i removed it from the charger, but i dont remember longpressing. Anw, i will have to agree with trackball wake
N1
is there any possible way to be able to touch the screen and return its from the timed out backlight insted of the power button then the actual unlocking....
Not sure about touching screen, but there's an app called NoLock that will make it so there's no lockscreen and hitting the power button unlocks it. Eats battery though.

Is there any way? Probably. Is it a good idea? Probably not. Just having the screen up to your thigh in your pocket would be enough to turn the screen on and thus drain your battery.
Not just drain your battery, but imagine calling people unexpectedly, random texting, somehow enabling options and selecting factory reset . There's a reason why there's a lock/unlock button.
Being a lefty, I wish you could turn the screen on using the volume buttons instead.

I can. Hold them for a second and the screen should turn on when you release them. If it doesn't let me know I'd like to investigate further.

Nope, not working. It turns it on using NoLock but then that just changes the volume too.
Im running Darkys 7 btw.

Holding the volume button does not turn on the screen, you probably touched the power button with you middle finger which holding the volume button with your thumb.
Widget Locker
Try the app WidgetLocker--it's a couple bucks but lets you turn on the screen with the volume buttons if you want (any hardware button). It will also let you customize your lockscreen with widgets and unlock the screen using the soft keys at the bottom if you so desire.
Mentioned this app in previous threads, should really start getting a cut from the developer.

You really should believe people when they say something works. Just because your rom works one way doesn't mean anything about everyone else.
Now if someone would give me a link to the roms which don't unlock due to the volume buttons, I might be able to fix that.
lmao love the music

I am not using a custom ROM. Maybe some custom ROM has that feature added but it definitely does not work on stock AT&T ROM.
Works on stock 2.2 Froyo leak ROM

That's not a stock ROM by any means.
I wish the volume buttons were lower on the case. I have a tendency to squeeze them with my finger when pressing the power button one-handed.
Hi All,
I tried switching off my phone but it is stuck at the shutting down screen and is unresponsive!! How do I reset it?
Thanks!!
EDIT: Well I held the power-off button and the volume up simultaneously for 5 seconds and that did the trick! LOL

I know you've solved the issue but to keep everything in line all cries for help or questions belong in Q&A not General, I even made a thread about it
It also helps being here so when people also have this issue and thinking of posting their question about it here they'll see it.
Thanks

What if my phone is a motorola? What do I do..?
I believe the power button in my HTC One is messed up and has put the phone into a bootloop. It boots halfway the restarts. But I have noticed that the capacitive buttons blink/flash before going off... does that have to do with a anything? Also is there a way to disable the power button and have an alternative to turning it on and off. Thanks in advance.

is the power button pushed in? because the capacitive keys flash when you hold it in to restart

That's weird are you on a custom Rom or stock? And I'm sure you can but I've never seen a replacement power button and these phone aren't the easiest to repair
