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!
Dear all, I just update my touchpad form CM7 A3.5 to CM9 A0.5.
After updating, comes the switch on problem, the details as blow:
In CM7 A3.5 system, I can shut down and switch on the touchpad with power button as normal, it also means the power button works.
When I update to CM9 A0.5(the updating is successful), I found USB connect problem, so I want to restart touchpad to solve it. As we know, in CM9 system, when press the power button, only shut down selection. So I shut down touchpad. When I press the power button to restart touchpad again, there is no response. the touchpad did nothing. even press main button and power button together. I do not know what happened.
Update: the most probably caused this is I use plustoolbox to change the boot animations.
Is this only a special case? Or could be my failure.
Update information:
After keep my touchpad after 20 hours, I try to switch on it again, the power button works, but just show low battery(by last shut down, it should be 50% battery left), so I charger it. After a while, touchpad started and gone into CM9 system and works.But when I shut down again, the touchpad can not switch on again. I do not know this time I should wait how long time then it can work again.

You can force a restart by holding the power and center buttons together for 30 seconds.
Thank you for replying.
I have tried but failed.
now the second round is
In shut down status, after 24 hours, the battery can from 100% reduce to low battery.
In this status, I can charger and start touchpad.

I'm not currently using the ICS build, but I would then suggest doing a complete reinstall of CM9 through acme installer. Make sure to uninstall the current build that you have on their.

Can you see Moboot menu when it turns on ? If yes it is working good in Dual booting if not please reinstall moboot,cwm and cm9 using ACME installer 2
I have been stuck in a spot that I needed to use the battery pull emulation of holding the power button down and waiting for a reboot. Mine just does not work! I can have the phone on, press and hold the power button, the 3 second countdown notification appears, and upon reaching 1 second, it just sits there no matter how long I keep the power button depressed without ever rebooting.
I'm posting about this because I've seen many users that are in the same boat as I am, and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work.
My problem is documented here:

Is this a hardware issue? Does anyone have any ideas for us unlucky few that this very important function does not work for?
I am on stock, odexed, rooted, 64GB dev edition (1.29.1540.3) on AT&T network. I have installed only one mod...homeslice's 'bkbtnmenu.zip' which pushed a Settings.apk over the stock Settings.apk while deleting the stock Setting.odex file. I'm not saying that this mod caused any problems whatsoever...just trying to give detailed information.

I don't know if this will help anything, but here is a logcat.
I started the logcat and pressed power button simultaneously. I held the power button for about 20 seconds, released and stopped log.
Hold it for ten seconds then release.
Hello, well as of yesterday my N7000's power button started acting up, first i got lots of sudden reboots (probably the 8-second powerbutton hardware reboot) and a few hours later my power button stopped working al-togetter.
I've seen some youtube videos where people with the same defect-powerbutton (tho on another samsung device) show how to turn on their device by plugging it in the usb charger and emediatly press volume down+ the home button.
My device is still turned on but it'd be a bit tricky to try that out myself.
I am curious if that works on our devices too, if anyone could test this method; thank you so much.
Any other methods/advice is very welcome
Kind regards.
(Device is running android 4.4.4: Omnirom)
try this (works for me) : place battery in the phone, hold (and keep held) vol - button and insert usb.. it should take you to the warning screen before download mode, where you can press vol - to reboot.
All the time, my phone with a CyanogenMod 11 ROM made for D415 model, has a problem turning on the screen. Tapping the power button or home button once doesn't work. Sometimes I have to repeatedly tap the home button many times to turn on the screen if I'm lucky, or if it doesn't turn on at all, I have to reboot it by holding down the power button for so long. Is there a fix for this? Sometimes when I need to use my phone the most, it won't turn on the screen and it's frustrating.
Also, since I have CyanogenMod 11, can I flash a kdz file back to stock 10c/10e or whatever?
