Switching off the Artemis

Yesterday I found out I can completely switch off my artemis by holding both soft-buttons and holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
A pop up window appears saying:
Warning
Power will be turned off, and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?
After pressing yes the screen turns dark and the led's stop flashing. The device seems to have been powered down. When pressing the power button, the device enters the boot screen as if just been given an soft reset.
Couldn't find this in the forum of the wiki, so I thought I wanted to share this.
Regards!

This is standard behaviour on WM-based devices....afaik....

1. I do believe that was caused by installed softwares,
2. try to remove all today plugins, wait 5 seconds, softreset, after 2 minutes (just to ensure
all processes are finished),
3. try to press the power button then again after 10 seconds, and see if that helps or not, alternatively,
4. try to remove the shortcuts fron the startup folder and try. If nothing helped, probably there is a confused registry. hard-reset for no choice(except you are expert in registry matters )
5. Remember to wait for 10 seconds before you reset the device after changes were made.

thanks everyone!! this problem happens occationally. SO i need a few days to see if the above steps work
Thanks for ur advice again though

Manual Hard reset??

Is there a way to manually hard reset the TP2 w/o having to go into settings??
Please help!!

Turn off your phone completely. If buttons and touch screen become unresponsive, pull the battery out.
Hold both "send" and "end" button, then press and hold "power" button. Follow the on screen instructions.

for verizon
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hold volume down, send
and end till you see blue text on a white background. Follow hard reset prompt

I think this is for the At&t version below
1. Turn off the TP2. In my case, I had to pull the battery out since the on-off button didn't work
2. Press and hold the SEND and END keys simultaneously
3. While continuing to hold the SEND and END keys, press the POWER BUTTON (a bit of finger contortion here)
4. Press the VOLUME UP button

Hold the TALK, END, and backlight( on top of the phone) With the phone off till you get the reset screen. or if the phone is on then hold all 3 and use the stylus to hit the reset button till you get to the screen to reset.

A70 Screen Shot Info

I've got myself a Samsung A70. and after researching for ages how to do a screen shot or what ever the new name for it is.
I find out how to do this, you have to hold the power button then press the volume button, which then turns the volume up, 2nd attempt turns the volume down, 3rd attempt you try move your hands differently and you get a screen shot, of a different page you accidentally clicked on whilst trying to screen shot, then next attempt, I think I've got it, NO I don't want to turn the phone off, grrr. But eventually when you do get a screen shot, it has the volume change across the top.
Does anyone know how to alter the screen shot to the normal power button, the the central button on the bottom?

Mine doesn't work that way:
I press and hold the power button (no more than a 1 /2 second - you don't want the phone to display the power/restart options) then almost immediately press the VOLUME DOWN key for a 1/2 of a second at most (still holding the power button) and release the volume DOWN button - screenshot should be taken (screen shrinks/comes back). Release all buttons now of course.
Hope it works, let all know if it does.
:good:

You put your whole thumb on the power button and the vol down button and you click both of them at the same time.

Easier to click the buttons than swipe your hand across the screen.

Yep that's practically how every Samsung device works, infact every device I've owned, so it seems the issue is simply pilot error.
You can even do the same thing in TWRP.

What is TWRP.
I've had loads of other Samsung's phones been the power button and the main enter button on the bottom.
I've tried doing one first then the other and I get the power turn off option.
But them both with my thumb seems to work most of the time, cheers for that. I think the phone case I have causes me some problems, but both with my thumb seems to work for the last few mins that I've tried thanks.

You could always turn to the dark side and say "Hey Google, take a screenshot" LOL

Just press and hold both at the same time. If you are finding that awkward using your right thumb then use your index and middle finger on your left hand.

Broken power button workaround to turn on.

So I have a OnePlus 3 since it was released and my power button started not working properly about a year ago.
And today I found out that the power button was not working at all anymore no matter how hard I pressed.
At first it was clicking twice instead of once (shortcut to open the camera), or I had to press it very hard to make it work.
I found some workarounds (double tap to wake, double tap to lock, etc).
So when the device is powered on, it's fine I can do everything I need.
The problem is when I need to poweroff the device (changing sim card) or when it runs out of battery.
On some other threads people say to hold the volume down button and to plug the phone to a computer.
But it doesn't work for me, when I do that the device goes to the bootlogo (before the romlogo) and is stuck there.
Any help or idea appreciated.
Also I am not willing to change the power button because it seems hard to take apart the device according to this tutorial : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/OnePlus+3+Power+and+Volume+Button+Assembly+Replacement/76019
I am on Lineage16 if that can help.

I feel you. I have broken power button since august... Found workarouns like you. But for me, power button starts to work after one or two weeks so i think it is software issue. But about replacing power button you are really wrong. OnePlus 3 is one of the easiest phones to repair. The thing is, you dont need heat gun to warm adheasive... You just take out screws and pop out the screen. This is kinda one of the reason why i took my phone so i can change battery with no problems or do any other repair by myself. But in the past 3 year i did not need to take apart my phone ?*. You can look up jerryrigeverything he tears down oneplus3 and shows everything step by step. Its indeed really easy, compared to other phones.

Plz answer this then I have replaced power and volume ribbon cable twice with new ones and my power button still not working volume is fine though and I want to unlock bootloader but without power button I can not select the option to do so?
