Thanks to all the numerous posts contributed on the forum i was able to root the NH4 update of my phone, i thought after rooting i would have solved this problem, unfortunately, it still persists. when i press the home button on my s4 active, it restarts the phone, at first I thought it was the TouchWiz that was the problem, so I turned off the app, i also got root and cleared cache. even now I installed button saviour and pressed the home button on that, it restarted the phone, what do i do next?

Hi everyone,
I was using my nexus one with low battery, and then it shut down.
I went back to car, attached it to the recharger, and pushed power button.
At this point it turned on and a setup similar to first boot appeared (selection of language, date & time, google account)..
Once the setup was completed, I pressed the home button and associated it with Launcher Pro.
At this point a popup message appeared, saying (translated from italian):
"Sorry! Sudden interruption of the application Launcher Pro (process Android.process.acore). Retry.", with a button named "Retry".
- If I press the "Retry" button, the same popup message appears on and on again.
- If I shut the phone down and restart it, it asks for the SIM pin, the unlock pattern, and then the popup message appears again and again..
- I can't access the menu through the button, and I am stuck in this situation!..
- I tried to uninstall Launcher Pro via appbrain about two hours ago, but with no luck..
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!

Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.
With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.
Hi cigar3tte,
I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".
Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?
Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up
However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:
"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.
It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."
Should i proceed so?
Thanks!

Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.
As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.
Hi cigar3tte,
I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.
After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen!
Thank you so much for your help!
For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.
AuraxTSense ROM - I know someone having this issue, anything they can try short of full wipe?
I purchased my C6902 a week ago. I updated the phone through flashtool to 14.2.0.A.290. after which whenever I push the power button, most times it would switch on to the unlock screen but sometimes I have to press it multiple times. But it would always get locked the first time, every time I pressed the power button. I tried a factory reset and the problem still persists. Anyone else facing it? A few other owners are also facing the exact same problem.

I have an Galaxy Ace that is around 2 years old, it's got a stock rom and it's rooted.
Now here's what's happening to it, the menu button on doesn't work, but at random times it seems to come to life and then I can't use my phone because the menu keeps popping up and won't let me open any app. It's like someone is repeatedly tapping the button or pressing down on it.
Sometimes if I press down on the return button it will stop but as soon as I release it it starts again, note that it's not always happen as the return button tends to get unresponsive too during this episodes.
Rebooting the phone only causes it to boot into safe mode and after a few seconds it will freeze and reboot again.
I've tried removing the battery and leaving it for a few minutes and removing the SD card and sim card before rebooting, but neither worked.
Could someone know what's going on here?
Hi
Try a factory reset , if still doesn't work then Flash Back To stock using odin and check that your SD Card isn't infected by any kind of Virus.You can also try doing a factory reset and then remove the SD Card.

Ok, so here is my problem, I was in twitter and suddenly the phone froze, I press the power button for a while and my screen never turned on again, although I get the capacitive buttons on, at first I heard sounds like the lockscreen, I even somehow got to twrp with the screen off cause my pc recognised it in recovery mode.
I've tried to enter the mode for bricked phones but as I cannot see anything I'm unable, also tried pressing the power button for 20 seconds multiple times, dont know what else to do.
Any idea will be greatly appreciated.
Also, some info on the phone: OOS 4.1, phh roooted, magisk.
It should be press and hold power plus volume down, for around 20 seconds to force a reboot.

Yeah tried that múltiple times to no avail, it was like the screen was not turning on.
I solved it by waiting 1 hour and trying again and suddenly it was working fine
This has happened to me a number of times already. It completely sucks. I boot to a black screen, capacitive buttons work, I can hold power button until I get the Power Off / Reboot menu, and from there reboot, but the screen keeps being on on the system. Recovery works fine, or so it would seem, because a few times, wiping system and reinstalling the OS gives me a "No OS installed. Are you sure you want to boot?" and EVERY time, the only solution ("solution") has been wiping data. It might start happening randomly, maybe updating Franco Kernel, maybe applying a substratum theme, maybe, like just now, after doing NOTHING at all. I don't know what to do anymore.
edit. of course, the hard bricking guide, step 2, works, but step 2 deletes your data, and if i remove the erase userdata lines, it doesn't do anything.
This issue has been driving me mad for the past couple weeks. I'm at my wits' end and I need some expert help to figure this out. Please read this post thoroughly to understand my situation, as this is not a simple matter of uninstalling some apps.
When I first got my Note 9, the screen lock button worked perfectly. The screen would immediately turn on when I pressed the button, and it would immediately turn off when I pressed it again. However, once I got the Android Pie update, the screen lock button stopped working properly. The screen still turns on immediately, but there's about a 0.5 second delay after I press the button to turn it off. It's a relatively small issue, but it's enough to bother me.
I attempted to fix this by performing a system reset. But this did not help. In fact, this issue is still present even before completing initial setup of the phone.
When you perform a system reset, the first screen you see when your phone restarts is the welcome screen. It contains a "start" button that you press to begin setup. On this screen, the lock button issue does not happen. My phone locks and unlocks correctly. On the next screen, you connect to a wifi network. After connecting to a wifi network, the lock button issue becomes present. In other words, this issue with the lock button is present before I even start using the OS, or install any apps, or really do anything at all. It seems to be triggered by connecting to a wifi network during setup.
So I figured there must be something wrong with the firmware. So I used Odin to flash an earlier firmware version. This did not solve the issue. I even tried installing an unlocked firmware version, on the offchance that my carrier (AT&T) was doing something weird. This did not help either.
I have no idea where to go from here. I thought that a system reset is supposed to completely wipe everything from your phone, so that it behaves exactly how it did when I first got it. But that's not the case. It seems like something is carrying over that's causing this issue. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
Do you have lock instantly with power key on?

It is probably the double tap power button to open camera feature. You can toggle it off and locking will be instant.
If its already off, there my be an accessibility service listening key presses.

This delay issue is so silly but it annoys the hell out of me. Where did you turn off this feature in Pie?
Update: Found it. Just use the search box in settings and type in "camera" (or whatever it is in your language). The "double tap power" setting will get listed.
Thanks alot,
Watz
I even turned off the double press for camera app but I'm still noticing a 0.5 sec lag when i press the side key
I even restarted after changing the setting
Nothing is happening
Please help
