Haven't seen this anywhere and searching via my phone didn't turn up a previously existing thread about it.
regardless of the state if my phone I have always been able to force reboot without ever pulling the battery. Just hold power+ volume up+ volume down all at the same time for around 15 seconds. It will reboot while holding the buttons so just hold them till it reboots.
I apologize if this topic has already been mentioned.

I don't think the volume buttons have anything to do with it. You get the same result by just holding power.

Yeah, holding the power button down until it reboots has never ever failed me. Not once.
...the volume buttons are just voodoo at that point.
Nice, thanks for the extra bit of knowledge and the correction. So nice not needing to do a battery pull.

Hold search button for voice commands.
Now we're done
well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

Home brings you to the home screen when in an app.

volume up and power until phone turns off and go into recovery
volume down and power until phone turns off and go into odin

Some ROMs allow for holding volume buttons to change tracks. I think we're done now ;p

heres a hidden one...tapping the power button turns the screen off. techwire news just announced a juicy little tip, tapping power button one time while screen is off will actually turn it back on thought id pass these new tricks on.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

Well i never saw anyone mention this here so here goes. My phone froze on me out of nowhere and i was being too lazy to pull out my case + batt cover to remove the batt so i tried different button combos till i found one that worked! Holding power + Vol up for about 10 seconds reboots the phone! Once it started back up i tried it again n phone rebooted
Edit: I'm on sfhub's oneclick FC22 ics. Not sure if its exclusive to this build so i suggest testing it out and letting me know if it works on other builds as well.

You can just hold the power button...
Had it happen to me a couple of times. You don't have to hold vol +, just hold the power button down and it reboots the phone

I haven't pulled the battery once since I left HTC.
Very nice feature!
This works on pretty much every Android phone.

Basically it just keeps resetting, after loading the splash screen it resets, after the warning message in odin it resets to a black screen that vibrates every two seconds or so. Can anyone help?
Can you get into download mode or cwm? If so you can fix it. Use search and you can easily fix it with Odin or cwm.

nope, it just reboots
I had this problem, try pressing your power button a little hard a couple times
The power button could be internally stuck, causing the phone to reset like this
Yea it was my power button, I did exactly that and now it's working again.

i think i just had this same issue. i went as far as unrooting my phone and now im thinking ok the phone works now but i wonder if it was just the power button all this time. i did have to keep pressing the power button to get it to go into recovery mode. finally got it to stop rebooting and i unrooted. thought i had a bad root. but i didn't just root the phone when this happened. i was ending a call and sitting my phone down on my work desk and then it started rebooting over and over and over again. reading this just gave me confidence in rooting again with caution and monitoring phone with one eye open like pbs,:cyclops:
is there any way to restart a frozen phone without pulling the battery? i tried holding the home + power for 30 seconds with nothing but a screenshot. it's sad having to go back to pulling a battery again after all the years of just holding a button down.
and i do understand that the average user won't need to pull a battery as much as we would.

Most smartphones you just hold the power button for 10-20 seconds.

i've tried multiple times up to 30 seconds with no shutdown. not even while in download. normal samsung devices is 5-10 seconds (at least all my sammy tablets and the other sammy phones). maybe my power button is a bit flaky and i'm not giving it a constant press. i'll look into it. thanks!
If you're looking for the insta-reboot, that has to be baked into the kernel.

thanks. tried all the tips and no forced reboot with any type of button press.
Hello XDA fellas,
Earlier, I was browsing in the S3 section, and someone has ported the S4 camera apk for S3, so without hesitation, I flashed it onto my phone.
Immediately when I reboot, my phone wouldn't go past the boot animation, so I thought... Okay, I will just flash my nandroid backup then.
But what I found out now is giving me a heart attack, my phone doesn't go into recovery, instead, it reboots if I hold down Power + Vol Up + Down for more than 4 secs... so fine... I went to Odins and reflashed CWM with a Stock Rom, but it's still not getting past the boot animation.
If anyone has any solution to this... I would appreciate it if you can share with me what you know.
Thanks.

Recovery: home, vol up, and power, doesnt matter what order press at the same time.
Download mode : same as above except you push vol down not up.
