I used to be able to long press the power button and select the reboot option to restart my Bionic. Since updating to JB, that option is gone and I can only shutdown, wait, then manually start my phone back up.
How do I get the "reboot" option back, or is there another way?
Thanks
I know on my fascinate jb roms you have to go into developer options and choose:: advanced reboot

mybe the volume key way?
I use Notification Toggle, which puts shortcuts in the notification bar. One of the available shortcuts is 'Reboot'. One pulldown swipe, touch icon, phone reboots. If you are rooted, you can install as a system app and have one touch shortcut toggles for gps, mobile data, bluetooth, reboot, airplane mode, etc. without having to go to Settings.

I'm running CM 7.1 on my Nook Color... I just wiped and reflashed from Rom Manager because of some issues i had with a bad app install/uninstall.
Now whenever the device reboots, the wifi is off at startup.
Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Thanks!

There is a bug in airplane mode in CM7 that causes the wifi behavior you describe. I use the power widget to avoid going to settings and turn wifi on every time I need to reboot. To add the power widget, place finger on your screen (home screen) until a menu pops up. Select Widgets. Select power control (scroll down. Add other toggles such as flashlight,Bluetooth, etc. You can also remove compass and sync too. You can also size the widget, make it horizontal or vertical. Once it appears on your screen you can long press widget and drag it anywhere.

Thanks for the idea on the widget. I was looking more for a actual fix, as this is very annoying to have to do every time i turn it on.
I would have posted in the Developer forum but im a new member and it wont let me.
If anyone has a fix that is done in the terminal please let me know.

Hey guys, i have a captivate and im running ICS AOKP with nova launcher prime. My power button is near broken. It always sticks and requires multiple presses before a response. Is there a way to open power options (you know, it brings up the shutdown, airplane mode and reboot options) without pressing the actual power button with nova launcher or a google play app?
Eh...
I dont know of anything. That darn power button is a problem for SOO soo many people. However, something that may help you is going into setting, go to display, and hit volume rocker wake. This will allow you to wake up the device by pressing the volume buttons. Also, if you need to go into reboot options, try rom manager. You can access recovery from there. This is the easiest method I have heard about this issue.
Thanks for your advice. To be more specific, i wanted to be able to shutdown when i wanted. I had forgotten about the rom manager thing.
Also, something cool: If you use Nova launcher, you can change a setting to make the phone wake with the vol up/down. Also, if you buy the donate version and pair it with the app "screen off and lock", you can sleep and lock your device by tapping anywhere on the home screen twice. Its really nifty. Doing that makes you not even need to press the power button anymore....except when you want to shutdown, restart, or take a screenshot.

There are several roms floating around in the development section that have extended toggles. Usually this feature has reboot, recovery, and power off as options. I can't say which (if any) of the ICS roms have the extended power menu.
I can also say that MIUI's standard toggles have reboot and power on it.
Could you use QuickBoot for rebooting options?
Use my latest ROM
It has Search button remapped as Power. Both short and long press work!
I don't even use Power button anymore - Volume buttons to wake up!
Additional bonus - Search now works as Camera shutter!
ROM is in my sig.
Hi. My power button starts to cause problems and sometimes I have to torment to bring up the menu (profiles, screenshot, reboot). Is there any way to create a shortcut to the menu? Eg "1Tap Quick Bar" app creates a shortcut, but only to reboot (even without the choice standard/CWM). I searched all activities of system apps but found nothing. As a last resort can I map the camera button as power one?
Just go to market and type "Shutdown Menu". It has everything you need.
OK thanks, but it solves my request partially. I need whole power menu with screenshot and profiles
So I am on a custom ROM (FireNote) and it changed my home button longpress to open up "Device options". I want to change it back to open my task manager/recent apps, just like it does on stock. I have installed several apps and I still cant get it to go back :/ I guess another thing to mention is that I am running NOVA launcher.
FIXED! In Wanam exposed under system you change long press home behavior to something else and then change it back to recent apps or whatever you want and reboot.

If you want to change/add more button functionality, you could try gravity box.
It has a navigation button section where you can change all the buttons.
I for example made the display turn off when long pressing menu button, which is pretty handy on a large device like the note 3
Tried loading Lorex Mobile Lite on new S5 today. App appears to load fine. When I run it splash screen shows up then blank screen with "No DVR set up hit menu> add connection. There is no menu button anywhere on screen. Running 4.4.2 The same app on my wife's Nexus 7 tablet running 4.4.2 shows a menu button to right of the return button on bottom of screen an then works correctly. Any idea how to get menu button to show up or atleast get into menu?

I've run into this on a few apps. no settings menu icon in the app, no settings menu to the left of to the home key...
if you press and hold the multi tasking button the settings menu will come up.

open the app you are trying to access the settings menu of.
press and hold the button to the left of the home button.
the settings menu of that app will then open.
pressing and holding what used to be the settings button still functions as the old settings button.
