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.

This is perfect.

[Q] Power key performance

How does your power key performs? I mean mine responds only when hard pressed or pressed by the right side part of it.
I asked this because all my LG devices have these pretty hard to press hardware keys in contrast to my SE devices.

Comes on at any sign of a click, can do far left, far right etc. Button itself is perfect.
How old is your phone? Worn out over time a possibility ?
there's a mod that lets you wake via volume buttons if you're into that.

can u tell me what mod. u mean exactly? any instructions?

Use widgetlocker and in use easy-wake mode. It lets you wake up the phone with any hardware button.

Or in case you're using CM or MIUI, theres an option to enable that in the settings menu.

I assume you are wanting to disable the capacitative buttons all together, to which you just got to settings-> advanced-> disable capacitative buttons. Hope that helps.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA

But, if you are trying to only turn off the lights and still using the capacitive buttons, hold the "menu"button for 3 seconds,
The lights go off and still work.

That's a neat trick. My G-Tab's captivity buttons has randomly light-up in the middle of the night since I installed the CM9 (and AOKP) ICS.

In settings > display > notification lights = left disable.
It's a setting to blink capacitive when you have email, SMS, or missed calls, or other notifications.
I don't like, so i left my disabled.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

The correct way to turn the lights off for the capacitive buttons is this:
Settings -> Advanced (under device) -> Screen tab -> Backlight (under touchkeys) turn it off.
Note that here you can also change the timeout if you wish to keep them on but for a shorter period of time

No Vibration on keypress

Can't seem to get any vibration on keypress though I've turned the setting off and on several times. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have Power Saving Mode turned on?

Yes. Is that it?

yep, you got it. Power save mode disables haptic feedback when entering normal text input, however passwords still have haptic feedback present.

I'm experiencing the same issue...
Already off my Power save mode but the haptic feedback still did not return.
It will return once in a while.. but I do not know what triggered it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same problem here. No vibration at all. Turned on and off every setting I can find and nothing.

I think this is same issue which occur in TW ROM before and HTC fix the back key and Home key sensitivity in latest OTA. I think we can wait for the later OTA for SW fix:laugh:

Loss of Haptic Feedback on softkeys

Ok, so i have an issue that i havent been able to find any information on. I woke up this morning, and noticed that when i pressed the back or menu button, there was no longer any kind of haptic feedback. The buttons functioned as they were supposed to, but didnt vibrate. I double checked the option for it, then disabled and re-enabled it. That didnt work, so i restarted the phone and it still didnt function.
I ended up doing a full restore and they began working. So, i haven't installed any apps or anything assuming maybe it was an app that caused the issue. I went pretty much all day and it was fine, i got home from work and all of the sudden it stopped functioning again. I just did another restore and its back. This seems more like a software issue as if it was hardware i wouldnt think the keys would work at all, and the haptic feedback works when using the keyboard and such. Has anyone else seen this issue?
BTW my phone is rooted, but i havent done anything else to it.

What was your battery level? If you have Power Saver turned on, it will turn off haptic feedback.

I was just gonna say the same thing. Power saving mode on all Samsung Galaxy devices turns off Haptic feedback completely. And if your a person who is used to haptic feedback it can feel weird when it's off. Pull down your status bar and make sure it's power saving mode is off.

I appreciate the suggestions, but this was on a completely full battery, it had charged all night. The second time it happened it was at about 65%.

Awesome! This fixed my haptic problem and weird screen dim and contrast issue. I guess PSM some how had gotten stuck on for me, although I was charged above the threshold.

It doesn't automatically turn off when you're charged. Annoying as hell.
You should change your thread title to solved.

No, I shouldn't. My problem isn't solved. I clearly stated that my issue hasn't been caused due to a battery issue. I've been fully charged. I've restarted. The only way I've been able to get it back is by a full restore. The issue occurred one more time over the weekend and it's irritating. I went to the store and they aren't wanting to help and telling me if I exchange it when they aren't seeing a problem I'll get charged the restock fee. I'll be calling support tonight I guess.

Did you turn off power saving mode after it turned itself on when your battery died down and was then recharged?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mine was like you.
go to power saving menu and uncheck the heptic feedback check mark off.
BINGO!

years later, i've found a solution - haptic feedback intensity was turned all the way down, even with the checkbox marked, no haptic feedback is felt at that level.
how it got turned down to zero, i'll never know.
Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Vibration Intensity > Haptic Feedback Slider
...i almost warrantied my phone over this issue...

Hey so let me start off by saying that I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I had this problem. I was with a friend and ended up turning on my ultra power saving mode. After that my soft keys stopped lighting up and the haptic feedback stopped working as well. Something small, but extremely annoying. I couldn't find ANYTHING on the infinite labyrinth that is the Internet for some unknown reason and I was straining not to throw my phone out of the car.
However, I've just now been able to finally figure it out and so I'm hoping this post will help with that urge to snap you're smart phone. Anyways I remembered that before ultra power saving mode I had put it at the regular power saving mode. I tried turning UPSM on and off again, I restarted my phone countless times, anything else you can think of it tried. BUT what ended up finally working is turning power saving mode on, giving it a second, and then turning it off.
Hopefully that works for you too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been trying to figure that out for so long. I wasn't sure because it happened on multiple roms. This time haptic feedback turns off with battery saver mode. I usually have power save on our phones don't lack performance on it. Wish I could enable haptic feedback with it on. This was the first result on Google. Thanks bro!

I have a similar problem. After I have replaced the Mainboard, the back key lose the vibration feedback. Only the back key.... Any ideas?
