Hi,
I sometimes feel the need do a power cycle especially when messing around with tweaks and when my phone starts to feel laggy. I read somehere that it is better to do a power cycle ( Power Off then power On ) rather than doing a reboot.
I find that powering off o2x via the stock power off menu takes sometime to finally..well... turn off (10sec or more).
But when I use Quick Reboot app to power off my device.. its an almost instant *poof*, device is off.
Is there a difference between how stock power off behaves while shutting down the device; other than the silly LG logo which adds up to the delay of shutting down, comparing with the use of an app, eg. Quick Reboot? Because i don't want to get corrupt files and FCs just because I don't use the power off menu.
Thanks!

I can not seem to get my NC to power off completly. I have tried holding the power button for 15 seconds and I have tried holding the power button then hitting the power off completly soft button that appear's.
The screen turns off ... but when I go back later to turn on my NC it was only in sleep mode.
Any thoughts ?
Holding just the power button and the home button until it powers down works for me to fully power down. Sometimes I need to hold both again to turn back on.
Could it be that the Nook is powering on by itself after a power down? I've run into this a couple times so far. As well, for the longest time my 2.1 Milestone had this problem. I would do a full power down, and some time after the phone would boot up by itself. This was later addressed in a small update to the 2.1 that I'm running on the phone.

Mmmmm well this situation would suck. Not sure how to fix this then. It does seem like it is powering down and rebooting itself a bit later .. ?
I only have to hold the power button for two or three seconds, then the power off dialog box appears.
Ok, so I have 2 issues with power on and shut down:
1)When my phone was stock with 2.1 Eclair, the power on animation (the "S" forming) was much smoother and synced with the sound. Now, when I flashed to 2.2 Froyo and 2.3.6 Gingerbread, it goes at like 2 FPS and it's way offsync with the sound.
2)Also, the shutdown has a big delay, I mean: it shuts down, but then the BACK and MENU button leds remain lighted and it takes 7 to 13 seconds for them to shut off, and when they shut off the phone vibrates.
How can I solve these 2 problems?
Dont look at the screen whilst turning on and off.

Useful as a pack of emus.
If your phone's power button is in a 'pressed' state, like mine, (turns on automatically when battery is inserted), it is a hardware issue.
Here is a hassle free alternative to turn on the phone when it is in sleep mode, without relying on the power key!! Takes a minute or two only!!
1. Get 'Go launcher' from the app market (play)
2. Get 'Go Locker'
3. Now Enable Go Locker on your device. And you are done!!
When the screen goes black again, Just press the volume button, The screen wakes up!!
Using this method you don't lose the normal functionality of the volume rocker!!
I recalled that I used to have Go Locker on my phone, and that when I pressed the Volume key the screen turned on!!
At that time I found it a little annoying, But now it has turned out to be such a gift!!
* For this method to work, your phone has to be rooted.
The power button is not going to work until the hardware is repaired, I prefer to use this method, because it is a safe and quick method!!
Believe me I looked around the internet and this forum for a fix, The usual method: editing the system files on the phone, and after which the volume button cannot be used to control the volume.
For those looking for a quick fix, just follow my method!
Cheers!
There are also several roms out there that have the volume rocker wake built into the rom without making it completely useless for it intended purpose. As well as several that offer a go to sleep toggle in the notification window so you can lock your phone again.
so this is a hardware issue ? i had been using the go locker i been using but the power button is annoying cus it keep showing the power button options . and killing my battery.
only fix is samsung?
Pretty much every version of cm for cappy has volume rocker wake as an option, because of this common problem. I use app called turn off screen as well.

I had the exact same problem with my Epic Touch 4G. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. I couldn't figure out what it the world was causing the issue, until it got worse. Then, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the proper replacement switch you'll need.
(They don't include the required skills to properly desolder/solder it, however. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron.)
I just discovered yesterday that my power button seem to be not working. Pressing it doesnt lock the screen and long pressing it doesnt bring up the power options. Tried wiping everything and still the issue remains. When I pull my battery and then insert it back the phone boots itself, as if the power button is pressed all the time (even though i can still click it and its not stuck). Ive been using rom toolbox for the power menu but choosing to turn off the phone makes my phone have a screen freeze, all other options work like reboot, fast reboot, reboot recovery etc. Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: After a couple of days my power button is working again

How did you get it to work? Or did it started working on it's on? Thanks
I've seen that happen on mine, due to a bad USB charge port. Replaced it, problem disappeared.
Any chance your device sometimes thinks it is docked to a docking station?
Inexpensive part to obtain, less than 10 dollars (usd), takes about 15 minutes or less to replace.
In the 2+ years I've had mine, I've gone through 4 of them LOL...I'm hard on charge ports I guess.

It just started working again. When I turned off my phone to place my sim back and it didnt boot up automatically, I knew the power button is working again. Pressed the power button, device booted up and the issue is gone. I dont know if mh device thinks its docked, i dont have a docking station and ive never had problems with my charging port yet.
I've been using my N7000 for 2 years and this thing happened for 3-4 times. The lock button will be like stop working, sometimes it is like being press all the time and the problem will be sorted out by itself. Normally when this happens, the phone will be laggy and will reboot by itself. Is it a common thing for this phone?how do you get your phone fixed Kcube989?
My phone froze last night while listening to music, the music was still playing but the screen was unresponsive. So out of habit I shut down the phone because when I hold the power button the turn off option still happens. I restart my phone and the startup animation shows and after that the screen goes back to black. I have tried a force start using the power and volume button but I'm not completely aware of all of the specific options to do with that. I have a pebble that allows me to control some aspects of my phone over bluetooth and I still get emails and can turn on music with the pebble.

sounds liek a SystemUI crash. if youre stock, you may want to consider factory resetting. if rooted and rommed, I'd reflash your ROM
