No 3 button restart on Gingerbread? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I finally updated my phone from EB13 to EH17... the first thing i noticed is that the 3 button kill does NOT work... and anyone else confirm this? and is it possible to get it back?

Yes it true that doesn't work on any of the gb leaks. I don't know if its because they're leaks and maybe be added on official but I haven't heard of a mod for that.

Uhh...what's a 3 button restart?
sent from my uncyanogen modded epic 4g. with the key skips.

if u hold vol up+camera+power it will restart the phone VERY handy

Does this work with freezes or just a quick reboot in general?

3 finger reboot in EI22 still works?

It doesn't seem to work anymore, did they take it out?
I'm holding down volume up, power, and camera. Doesn't do anything.
If you are on a stock EI22 build, they put a recovery flash into the release build that overwrites cwm or acs recovery. qbking77 did a video on how to circumvent it. check the stickies on EI22 for a link.
I'm running CWM 3.1.0.1, the purple one, and Legendary ROM. Should it still work?

I think you mis-read the OPs question...He isn't asking about the Recovery, he's asking if the "3 Finger Salute" is still present in EI22.
OP: AFAIK, the 3 Finger Reboot method has been taken out of this build. I was bummed out when I found this out. I still forget it's not there and all I end up doing is raising the ringer volume on my phone and put it to sleep! LoL
It's volume down...not up.

+1 on quick boot
i believe they took this out after EC05
I have tried that same move on all the roms I have used since EC05 and they must have taken it out. I was thinking maybe that they had changed the keys around or something. Instead of up power and camera it was another combo but not sure where to start.

ICS Power Off/Reboot and Portable Hotspot Fixes

I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24134762&postcount=25
This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.
ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll
That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho
Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

[MOD] More Mods.. EPM and more

This is an Extended power menu with reboot and download options when you hold the power button down.. Enjoy..
Just flash via CWM.
Only tested on UCLH2.
Remove sms frm call log mod here!
ALL DOWNLOADS BELOW!
All mods are CWM flash able..
Love the mod, but it doesn't work for me. I keep getting continuous "<app name> has stopped" (gmail, facebook, swype to name just a few) after rebooting...?
Then it locks up and keeps rebooting. I am on UCLH2.
If your on anything other than UCLH2 it may not work.. I'm using it on my daily driver...

Idk why.. I flashed it on mine and running great. But its on my dd I posted ... which is UCLH2..
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
I could just be talking nonsense, so forgive me if I do. Could this be a odex/deodex problem? Or something zip-align related?
I installed UCLH2 stock, using lite kernel 5.3 and rooted and debloated it myself. I also flashed the CRT off. Which makes it seem that the difference with your DD is odex/deodex or zip-align related, because I did not do anything like that.
Flashing CRT off again seems to fix the problems I previously experienced, by the way.
Correction: Flashing CRT off got it working well enough to back-up my data with Titanium back-up. Had to restore a nandroid because Play store kept failing when I tried to update apps.
Works like a charm dman. Thanks again.

Yes.. my dd is deodexed. If yours is still odexed then that is why it was freezing and rebooting. This includes the android.policy.jar which is deodexed..

Nothing wrong with that. I kinda like the stock rom and would be awesome with a few mods like the extended power menu you just added. That was one of things I missed from custom roms. Once again. Thanks for everything you do.

Haha oops edited for dmans rom.
This should work. No promises, that's why we are testers, taking chances and if it fails, we just go back to our original phone state using a backup we made prior. Don't wanna brick(dunno if that is possible cuz this phone is beautiful) then make sure you backup in recovery
I gave it a go on UCLJ3 earlier, but its not working for me. Holding the power button does something cos I can feel it register, but no screen pops up, then about ten second later it crashes out
It also seems to have stolen my weather widget off my home screen for some reason too.

That's because its not compatible with UCLJ3. As this was built with UCLH2.. as stated in OP

My apologies if I have offended you with my comment! I haven't had any trouble with your mod!
I recently flashed the one enewman17 added the tethering fix to, noticed the icon changes. hadn't needed to reboot download mode until yesterday! that's the only part I haven't tested! I've just been working and haven't had a chance to mention it here!
the download mode part wasn't a big deal to me since I hardly use it!

help with issues with synergy spr gn2 note 2 rom

Hi all, I finally decided to root and install a custom rom on my note2 however im having some issues with the synergy rom I need some guidance on please.
1. I installed r83 and then r85 over r83 but my device still says my build version is synergyrom_r83 #
2. while running this rom I am experiencing many freezes that require me to pull the battery and seems to be freezing when the phone is in landscape mode.
thanks for reading.
1. That doesnt matter. Its an oversight on my part.
2. Turn off the ripple effect in Settings>Lock Screen> Ripple effect

Thanks for the speedy reply, I will try your suggestion and report.
@the_plattypus
I turned off the ripple effect as suggested unfortunately it is still freezing. Any other suggestions?
Also my battery is being used to quickly, like 10% in 30 mins.
Also when the screen is off and I hit the home screen to turn on the screen sometimes it is bringing up the recent apps menu as the stock rom did before the last official update.
Can anyone else assist with above issues?
I would love to stay on this rom, I hope these issues are fixable.

how about the freezing and the home button turning on the screen but bringing up the recent app list?
I really appreciate your assistance buddy!!!
I tried turning off the ripple affect but it still froze so I installed the No Lock app and my note2 hasn't froze since.
I installed the perseus kernal and my battery life is now great.
what can be done about the home button issue? once more the last issue is that when pressing the home button to turn on the screen it is also opening the recent apps list as if I was holding down the home button. this same issue was fixed in the latest official note 2 update.
how can I stop it from doing this?
Platt posted a fix for several things in the synergy thread OP. Flash that and see if the home button issue is resolved.
