Hey lads,
this is probably a very dumb Q, but since I am new to all this android schmuzzle and couldn't find ballocks on that, don't judge me too hard ;]
I've noticed that when u press both VolUp and VolDown ( put pressure kinda in the middle or the rocker ) the phone vibrates once and then after several seconds (seems to vary) it vibrates three times fast. Now what the flick is that? Not that much of a big deal but it gets annoying given that even when the screen is off and the phone is locked doesn't seem to give a damn
thanks
has happened to me too but hard to reproduce. I have no ideas why it happens. Sometimes it occurs when the phone is booting up for me as well.
Put ur finger in the middle of the rocker and press ( not even hard ). It happens every time in my case. even when the phone is locked
I get the same behaviour, sure is strange.
Kinda old thread but I didn't want to start a new one either. I've noticed this too by accident. When you turn off your screen and press both volume buttons at the same time it vibrates once and every other time twice or thrice. If it vibrates only once it will vibrate again a couple of times after about 10 seconds. Has someone found a reason to this already?

Maybe HTC thought "Why not? Let's do this and see how they discuss about it." ^^

These buttons are part of combimation of three finger salute (at least look like that)...if you press voulme up + Down and power button, phone will reboot....so might be vibration is just an indicator to show go ahead and press the power button for restart.......Just a Guess
Pressing Volume Up + Down simultaneously while having USB Debugging turned on creates a bug report in the bugreports folder on your SD card.

I can't get it to reboot by pressing the 3 buttons.

This is correct, there's always a new bugreport after I press the volume buttons. I don't think that it's even necessary to have usb debugging on.
Thanks for the quick answers, but could there be something more to it?

Press the power button first and then press volume up and down..you will get a reboot...
Nope, can't get it to reboot. Perhaps this is rom related?

It shouldn't be, but its really hard to get it if you are trying to press three button, you can try power button and middle vol button......any ways I also tried lot of times before I got my first reboot....
1) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time = Vibrations & all processes' states and stacktraces dumped to /data/arn/traces.txt (thanks to alind_)
2) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time + POWER BUTTON once = instant reboot
Works for me with CM7 and Stock Sense.

How to hardware reset Touch Pro2?
RHOD100 MFG 32M SS-BC 0.74.1000
I recive answer from HTC:
The way you do a hard reset on a touch Pro 2 is :
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset
Thank you once again for your continued patronage.
Best regards, Europe customer support team HTC Corp. Global Service Division
But, this instruction not work.
Try holding the Vol Up and Down together and Reseting with the Stylus. (Just a guess BTW )
P.S. Did you get my PM ?

From what I've read about the Topaz:
Hold Vol UP and Vol DOWN together (keep them pressed down and do not release). Then press the reset button with the Stylus and hold it for a few seconds, then remove the stylus keeping vol up and down pressed.
Or if the device is off hold down Vol Up and Vol Down (keep them both pressed until you see the message) and then Power On.
A Hard Reset is usually a two button combo whilst the device is powering on (either from a reset or from a cold boot).

I have the same problem. Can anybody PM me with a solution to this? Tried all I know and nothing works...
Ok, here it is.
To hard reset Touch PRO 2 you have to press power + start call (green) + end call (red) buttons. Hold them all and press reset button. Keep holding them untill you see screen that says to press volume up button to reset .

Thanks! That did it! Team effort though!
What is this, some pre-release touch pro 2?
Great... I was checking weather from my One V, and the phone froze and screen went off when I pressed power button to try lock it. Now when trying to boot to bootloader, I get all time "error: device offline"
What is wrong.. Since it is unlocked and custom ROM, warranty will probably not help me?
It cannot be fully dead, as ADB still detects it, although it doesn't work and in device manager it shows up as "My HTC"
E: Awesome.... I removed SD card and SIM card and that cover, now tried press power button and, oh, lockscreen shows up and my phone is working again fine! Don't know why it did not work for while.
Case closed
How about force reboot - long press power for 5-7 seconds ?
Or force to bootloader - long press power for 5-7 seconds while holding the volume down and release the power button after 5-7 seconds but keep holding the volume down button ?
Also you can try the cable on other port if it helps

Just recently my power button stopped working. I pushed the button to use my phone and it did nothing. For about five minutes pressing the power button did nothing. I had to press and hold up and power button to restart. Is working fine now but What I would like to know is why did this happen? How can I prevent something like this occurring?

I've noticed mine has done the same thing a couple of times since I've gotten it. In my case I think the phone hot boots, maybe you have the same case

Same issue but no case and it wasn't hot. I think it might be software related. Waiting a few minutes and holding the button for 30 seconds finally allowed it to boot.

I've experienced this just once with the same result. Power button + volume up resolved it.
I had same issue pre-root and vol up and power fixed the issue. No power button issue since.

hold the power button at the same time as holding volume up button.... hold both for a few seconds might take as long as 8 seconds
will put you in fastboot mode....(if it doesnt go into fastboot that way can hold power button until screen turns off then quickly hold volume up until fastboot comes on)
once in fastboot tap volume down twice (slowly allow a slight pause between presses) then pres the powere button and you will be in recovery

I can't even get my phone to the fastboot screen. Ive held down vol up and power. Vol down and power. All 3. I'm really at a loss. Any ideas before I just get a replacement? Also, my headphone jack has seemed to stop working along with my power button.

When I have trouble powering on I hold vol up while plugging in usb.
What I basically need: I want to access recovery(or bootloader, I am not sure what its really called) to do a factory reset.
History of the problem: My little sister entered the pattern incorrectly too many times and now the phone is locked asking for gmail and password. Although I know it, but the phones wifi is disabled, so it says "wrong username or password" and hence I can not unlock it. I want to do a factory reset via the recovery but the phone is not going into it even though I press volume down + power(I also tried the volume up). USB debugging is off, and the device is not rooted... please help me, how can I get around this damn problem?

Power+vol down doesn't do anything (will not get you to bootloader) if the phone is on. This only works when the phone is powered off.
If power+vol up didn't go anything, it's probably because you didn't hold the buttons long enough. Hold power+vol up (and don't let go) until the screen goes dark (may take more than a minute in some conditions) meaning it is going to reboot. The moment the screen goes dark, let go of those buttons and only hold vol down. Don't let go, until the white bootloader screen appears. If you fail to get into bootloader (the phone just reboots, tried to go to OS) that means you didn't do the button combo correctly. Either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat the sequence until you get it right.
Thank you for replying
I said what you did, unfortunately it doesnt work

What doesn't work? I outlined a few steps. Need more details. The basic reboot sequence (holding power+vol up) does it reboot the phone or not?
This is hard coded into the device. It works in any condition short of a brick. It even works when the phone is powered off. The only time I've seen it fail is if your vol button or power button is broken.
ok, here is how it goes;
I turn the phone off
I press the voldown + power, the phone turns on, I release none of them, everything goes very normally, when the phone is at the lock screen, there is a messege on the display saying "to restart the phone, continue holding the power button for 3 seconds" and it counts down to 2 and then 1, it stops at 1, everything else is normal(except the home and back buttons have been flashing-turning on and off-since the start of the process). now I continue on holding both buttons until the phone autolocks, and here it goes to eternity, nothing happens form here just flashing home and back buttons..
I did the same process for volup+power. I did several times, each taking more than one minute..
and all my buttons are working, I can assure you of that..

when the phone is on at the lock screen, I have to swipe up, which takes me to a screen asking me for google username and password, and when I press the power button there, it displays the cummon box with 4 options; turn off, restart, airplane mode, and kid mode.
if I press the power button before swiping up, it displays the messege "To restart, continue holding the power button for 3 seconds" it counts down and stops at 1, just as I described before

Try picking restart. Then once the screen goes black, start holding (only) vol down. See if that gets you into bootloader.

lol. Your gratitude is enough.
Strange, I wonder why it didn't work when forcing a restart with button combo (power+ vol up). I don't think I've seen that issue you described, where the capacitive buttons are flashing.
Essentially, any time the phone reboots, if you hold vol down, it should go into bootloader. Or in the fully powered off condition, hold the vol down, and press and release power button (don't release vol down).
yeah, I read a tone about it and nothing worked. It seems my Htc is special
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.

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.
