Reflash? Serendipity has been great for me. I have been using it since 5.0.. upgrading every step of the way. I probably wont flash anything else until the official comes put. I think maybe ill end up selling my cappy if that isnt soon. The original driod gets froyo before galaxy s... what a load of bs

Take a picture using the camera with the power button.
Don't ask why.

Any fix for no power button menu?
I'm having the same issue as nate360. My power button works for locking/waking up the screen, but doesn't do anything on a long press. No menu, no reset, nothing. I have to do a battery pull to turn off the phone!
3-button recovery works, but get this--the power button does not work in samsung recovery but does work in CWM recovery.
Did reflashing help? I've gotten my kernel and modem just how I want them, so I was hoping for a different fix.

Tried to take pictures with the power button. They work, but doesn't fix the power button. I love the ROM, and did not have this issue on 5.6 before upgrading. Thanks for any help
Update! In my frustration, i just took like 50 photos and videos using various combinations of power button and on screen capture button, and my power button menu is back! Hope it works for others. Thanks Mike!
It's fixed go and update to 5.8 silly bugs
I tried Serendipity 5.7 to 5.8 which was supposed to be a fix for the extended menu and i have not been able to install it successfully.
Getting "assert failed getprop ro.build.display.id" etc error.
Can someone help what I am doing wrong....

You're not on 5.7.
Thanks Mike, does it mean I messed up?
any suggestions how to get back instead of flashing from base.

Whatever it says in About Phone, you have to start from that version and work your way up.

Hello all. When I push my power button i feel some haptic feed back but menu doesn't appear. I'm running phoenix ultimate with suckerpunch voodoo kernel. Been running this same setup for weeks now. Is a problem like this rom or kernel related?
I had to pull the battery, to turn it off but when i reinstalled it turned back on fine, but still no power button menu.
Suggestions?

When I shut down my phone, the screen will go black and it will vibrate like normal. Last I checked the vibrate was to confirm that it was completely shut off. Instead, the four touch sensitive buttons will light up and stay lit until I turn the phone back on or, of course, pull the battery. This is also keeping me from entering download mode. A few days ago the phone was shutting down correctly and I have been able to enter download mode, but now the problem is going on again. I'm on official 2.2 Froyo updated through kies mini. My phone is rooted, but this problem occurred before I rooted.

Sounds like a warranty replacement.
I've had it for over a year. I wonder why it's just now doing this.

I think I have come to a conclusion on why it doesn't seem to shut down completely and would need someone with a captivate that has all fully functional buttons. I believe that since my power button sticks, when the phone vibrates to confirm a shutdown, the capacitive touch button lights will not shut off until the power button is released. So if someone wouldn't mind shutting their phone off while holding the power button and tell me if you can make the lights come on after the vibrate while holding power button? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I have had a problem recently with my home button. I'll press it and it may work sometimes but not always. And sometimes the recent app page pops out of nowhere and I go back to the home screen without me doing anything. It seems to me like the key press is registered without my pressing it. It may not be a software fault, as I was handling the phone with wet hands last night but the problem only arose in the morning. I have a lot of trouble operating CWM as a result, with me pressing all the wrong options. Is there a way to disable the home button completely so I can use softkeys? Thanks
PS I've tried searching the fixes and all of them are software fixes.
Try the cm9 together with the softkey patch

Thanks However can you provide a link for the one you would use? I tried searching but the only one I found for SGA was for the cm9 nightly and true enough it wouldn't boot when I tried it on rc1 or rc2

My wife has the s5839i which I rooted and installed SGS3 v4.0 on.
I also installed CWM Recovery too.
Everything was working fine for around 3 weeks and then last night, she was playing a game which became sluggish and caused the phone to become none responsive. She took her battery out and popped it back in again and when she did... this happened:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHz0z7Fkpeg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Now, last night, it was still booting but thw boot logo never disappeared although a small strip at the top was visible which was displayed correctly. You could just see the clock and battery as well as media scanner running / compleated. Then it would say something about low memory, the screen would go blank and then that was that.
The screen was none resposive nor were the menu or back buttons. I did get 'some' luck with the menu and volume buttons but the only one which always works is the power button.
Download mode and Cwm recovery do not work HOWEVER, by removing the battery, then plugging in the usb cable then pressing power, volume + & - for 3 seconds followed by only keeping hold of volume + & -, then pressing volume + once then menu. It detects the phone in oden 3 (not 4)
I managed to flash the stock firmware which I have done at least 6 times now using different techniques including using the .pit file but now the phone is just stuck on a boot loop and still looks the same.
Anyone ever seen this before or know what to do next other than launch it out of the window?
Thanks
Chiller.

Hi Chillerhippie, you should ask your questions about S5839i in the S5830i/M/C subforo . Good luck.
