[tips & tricks][emergency button combinations]

My First Post Thread On This Sub-Forum. So Please be Lenient.

A Couple of weeks ago I switched my primary device from Asus Zenfone 2 to Oneplus One 64gb.
A while before that... One of my friends who also owned a One got stuck on the boot logo after flashing an incompatible kernel. As the phone did not have a removable battery.. He had no idea how to go back into TWRP.
I figured that A few (maybe more) of the users would have the same kind of doubts for this device. And hence for them... I've made this simple guide.

SCENARIO 1:

•Phone Freezes,
•goes into SoD (Sleep of Death) ,or
• (practically anything that happens when booted into android but rendering most controls useless),or
• Phone Accidentally booted into fastboot mode without a PC nearby.

Fix it:

These can be easily fixed by forcing a REBOOT on the device.

How:

Press and hold the POWER BUTTON only for about 8-10s.
This will cause a reboot.

This method will work anywhere and everywhere on a one. This can be used to force a reboot in any situation.


SCENARIO 2:

•Phone stuck on boot logo /boot animation after incompatible ROM/Kernel/mod etc flash.
•When causing a Simple reboot won't help. And we need to boot into recovery or fastboot mode.
For this we need to first force a shutdown and then a normal reboot to either recovery or fastboot.

How:

Press and hold down the POWER + VOLUME DOWN Buttons for about 8-10s. The phone will power off.
Then
•For recovery press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN for 2-3s
•For fastboot press and hold POWER + VOLUME UP for 2-3s.

And That's it. We've successfully learned how to simulate a battery pull on the One.

NOTE: Please remember that these button combinations are universal. This means they can be used with any ROM or any kernel or even No ROM or no kernel.....lol.

Thanks.

Z5 on-screen button

Hi all. My z5 arrived today and I find that the on screen buttons obstruct my YouTube video in full screen horizontal mode. They block a good portion too. Is there a way around this issue?

Other than that, I really like this phone, especially its camera. Oneplus 1 camera suck so bad

Options to turn screen off without hardware button that allows you to re-open?

I've tried various screen off apps and they all require secondary security to turn back on when using the fingerprint scanner. Any ideas?

Would love for an option where the fingerprint scanner can also turn the screen off or even an OK Google command, but then allows the fingerprint scanner to reopen without secondary security.

Note 4 repair help please ( POWER Button issue )

So out of nowhere my power button stopped working. I cant turn the phone off or on or lock the screen when its awake. I called a few places but none seem to be able to fix it. So looks like i may have to give this a shot myself.

Did some research and came up with this hardware.....

Can anyone tell me if this is the correct part needed? I can feel my current bitton click bit it just wont respond. I just wanna make sure this is the correct part as another squarish hardware button came?up in my search for a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

Home Button requires 2nd press sometimes

Hello All,

I'm running XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.4 on my W8, and I've noticed that every once in awhile, the first press of my home button does nothing. It registers the 2nd time I press it though.

Anyone else having these issues?

easyHome for Samsung - touch home button instead of pressing

Hello together,

found an app for our device, called easyHome for Samsung. It let control your home button much more then even before (Without root).

You can just touch the home button to go home, or if you buy paid version, then you can unlock device without pressing. Or you can lock the device with holding the finger on home button without pressing. Cost not much 1.77€.

Screen flashing when pressing home button

Hi,
I've been having screen issues with my phone. First green lines started showing on the screen, I turned auto brightness off, and it fixed the issue. But now when I want to wake my phone, it flashes white, but the screen stays off, and it does this for~3 more clicks, the fourth one turns the screen on though.
I'm on stock by the way. Not rooted.
Figured I'd ask before taking it to Samsung.

App instead of power button

Hi all, my power button has went in but it's still pressible but very hard.

I am using stock rom without any root.

My warranty has already completed, I need a nice app which does the job of power button.

Double tap to wake is not working properly in my mobile because i have installed a temper glass for my screen.

I am currently using Gravity Screen app which is great to use. But i have one doubt, using proximity sensor for prolonged period will it damage them or there is no problem.

Or else are there any other app that will do the job of power button without using the proximity sensor.

Thanks in advance for your help

Q3000 power button & annoying restart/power off problem..

If anyone has any solution about this weird problem plz help me coz I can't determine whether if it's a software or hardware issue.
There is no problem waking the phone with power button but pressing power button isn't locking phone its bringing up the reboot/recovery/shutdown menu (not everytime). I thought flashing stockrom will solve the issue but it didn't. The phone is now restarting many times at different battery level although there is no problem with the battery cos when I'm flashing any custom rom there is no sudden restart/shutdown problem even the power button works flawlessly.
Checking with sptool test shows nvram error, dnt know if i should bother about that. I've used cwm/twrp for a long time to confirm that battery isn't faluty.

Back button issue after verizon's stage fright patch

Hi,
I recently updated my droid turbo is to 23.21.44 provided by Verizon as a security patch. Once after the installation, I started to notice that the back button stopped working at many times. If I lock the phone, then there is a chance for the back button to again start working but not for long. Please provide a way for either rolling back the current update or give me a new patch having quality software.
