Widget for turning the device off

I seem to have lost my power button to turn off, reboot, recovery, etc. does anyone know of a widget that will slow me to get to that menu?
Thanks!

I know there are a few in the market made just for that...
Sorry I don't recall what the names were.
Just spend some time searching in the market.

Widgetsoid 2.x
It's a custom power control widget. Has support for lots of things like the aforementioned shutdown/reboot, brightness control, mobile network toggle, flashlight mode, usb mass storage mode, and has some themeable elements.

I'm pretty sure Widgetsoid has the ability to reboot, power down, reboot to recovery, etc. It doesn't use the menu though.

+1 for Widgetoids. Works great.
You can choose which power off options to include.

Um, if you lost your power on/off button, how are you going to turn the phone back on?

I didn't physically lose the power button. I just lost it while the phone is on. I have to physically pull the battery to turn it off or to go into recovery.

Quickboot is a good choice.

If you are using the TMobile note you have to make sure the USB cable is plugged onto the device as well as the computer then do the necessary hold. I think you have to hold both volume down and up and power button then when phone reboots let go of power button

As illest_one_7777 just said. Make sure your USB cable is plugged in to the phone and PC. Then do the hold buttons thing. Just had this problem a few minutes ago and it works perfect with cable plugged in.

I had the same problem and realised that I have to use the usb cable that came with phone, any other cable will cause the issue that you had.
Try to do it with the usb cable that came with your phone, this solved my issue , hope it does yours.

I use an old PC program that I found here on xda, called aio vibrant tool box. Turn on USB debugging and boot to download mode straight from windows, its worked on every Samsung phone I've used. Hope that helps..

Will this jig fix a phone that just keeps rebooting without the screen coming on? It just keeps vibrating every 2 seconds.

this is the right answer OP.
hold all 3 - up/down/pwr

Yes, well sort of, it will put you into download mode the rest is up to you having Odin installed properly, and the correct ROM to flash.

I thought you just do volume down+power and than press up when it boots

Put your battery on it

Download Mode Success
I had success getting into Download mode by having the USB cable connected and holding down BOTH the up & down vol. buttons while also holding the power button. Released power button only when I felt the first vibration during boot and still holding BOTH vol. buttons.
If I did the same thing without the USB cable plugged in, It would boot to Recovery instead of Download mode.

Froze at install screen

Just recently flashed trickdroid, got through the entire install then it froze after it was complete. My device says it has been installed and ready for use but hitting next does nothing.....tried holding power with power down and up (just for fun), phone still will not reboot...any suggestions would be helpful... dont really want to wait for my phone to die to use again, was sitting at 80%..

If it was complete then all you need to do is reboot. Hold the power button for 10 seconds, if that doesn't work hold the power button with volume down and boot in to recovery. Also no need to open a thread for it, just ask in the trickdroid thread :highfive:

good idea...maybe sing "this is the end" by the Doors...:highfive:

That's not a joke, presumably HTC put something like a safety so your phone doesn't turn off in your pocket. So in a dim room the hold power button to restart the phone might not work, hence the bright light trick

Bootloop

hello, just a question. after installing the trinity custom rom, i installed the fullscreen toggle app. aftr that my phone just turn off, im not stuck on the sony logo, my phone shows the sony logo and after that, it shows again. i tried to hold the button at the back but it doesnt turn off the phone and doesnt vibrate.i hold it for 15secs and up but the phone turn off and turn on again after 2 secs. by the way, my phone is charging if i connect it to the charger. i cant connect to the flashtool. how can i fix my phone?
will i let my phone just become low battery for it to turn off and then charge it again? how long will it take for it to become low battery? my phone is heating up because of the on and off thing.please help me.

I had this issue and sent back to Sony under warranty, had notice to say should be back in 24-72 hrs.
If you don't have option to send to Sony try phone store and get them to remove battery and flash stock again....or if feeling brave do your self

Glad you got it sorted.
How did you turn off as your original post said you couldn't, just in case it happens again to me when flashing mods.

i hold on the power button (sleep/wake button) and the off button at the back. i hold them at the same time. after feeling 3 vibrations, release the power button. the device should turn off now. when you feel one vibration. it doesn't turn off the phone. the phone will just boot up again.

isnt there a soft reset button on the back of the phone (you know the button you use a pen to press it).

Hi, I have the same issue and I try this solution but it didn't work for me.
Because I want to try the trinity vengeance rom and I'm scared that if I have a bootloop, I can't turn off my phone.
Sorry for my english ^^

Hi, your problem is solved?
Edit: I found the solution in the other topic in Q/A.
I hold the power button with volume up and the off button at the back.
I wait 3 vibrations and the phone turn off. Thanks to xda community

Thanks to your guides I have found out a full solution for this. I'm come from Trinity...'s rom and have bootloop too.
1. Keep the device connected with PC by USB cable
3. Open and prepare a firmware in Flashtool
4. Flashtool notifies to have your phone connected in flashmode --> It's time to go
5. Press and hold combination of Volume Down + Power + Reset
6. After 3 times vibrating with GREEN Led blinking, have your fingers relaxed and your SP's been in flash mode then :good:
7. Bear in mind that you should be careful for the next time playing with Rom and mods! :laugh:

Installed Cyanogenmod and Now won't Boot - Please Help!

My friend asked me to install Android on his HP Touchpad.
I installed Cyanogenmod 10 and everything went great. It booted in to the ROM and I had everything except for the Play Store.
I shut off the device (pressing the power button and then tapping shut off) and now it won't turn on!!! The battery was at %59 when I shut it down and it's charging right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Try hooking it up to a desktop/laptop and put it in dry mode? Or I would hold the middle button and top button simultaneously together.

I meant DFU mode you hold the top button once connected and and volume up button. Hopefully you can get the DFU symbol on it.
