Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII

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.

I did this while trying to respond to this post and my phone suddenly rebooted. I'm not sure what I did wrong

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.

Turn off the phone, go into recovery by pressing and holdimg the power and both volume rockers, then do a factory reset. That should fix your problem

All i want is a Lock Screen but not a pattern nor a pin. On my old SGS2 i just would pick a pic for the Lock Screen Wallpaper and all i had to do was slide the picture and it would unlock it. I cant seem to find the settings at all. And before my old phone i would press my power button it will ask to turn off airplane mode this one just will turn it off if I even press the power button. It was not rooted my old phone
I was typing the above on my phone. Sorry

Well then you will have learn to cope with your issue. Resetting or re-flashing is about the only thing you can do to fix the problem. It was probably due to a bad flash.

Nope never a lock screen app at all. On neither i guess i might just root this ***** lol cause is getting on my nerves and look for a better rom cause this stock rom sucks

Like I said the only solution I can think of is doing a reset. When I received my 2nd SGS2 thru the warranty it had this same issue. It had no lockscreen and no power menu. When I press and hold the power button it would just turn off the phone. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed it.

But i mine is not rooted so how can i access it ?

To perform a hard reset using the hardware keys, follow these steps:
1) Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory.
2) Turn off the device.
3) Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down keys at the same time.
4) Press the Power key only until the phone vibrates once, then release only the Power key.
5) Continue to hold the Volume up and Volume Down keys until the Android System Recovery screen appears.
6) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Wipe Factory Data.
7) Press the Home key to select.
8) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Yes - Delete all user data.
9) Press the Home key to select.
10) Press the Home key to reboot.

This worked like a charm !!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20506622&postcount=2

Power button

Anybody having problems with their power button....cuz I think my button is going bad and idk what to do
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

send it to mobiletechvideos.com - they will fix it.
Or flash SearchAsPowerButton MOD along with Volume wake ROM - my ROM ICS supports it.

Wondering if anybody knows any places in Canada (GTA) where they might replace these? Sending it in to the states is a little expensive when considering shipping. =(

Yeah I have some issues with mine. It'll sometimes not lock the phone and it'll register as being held down instead. It's not too serious for me, though.

Just open up your phone and clean the dip switch with some rubbing alcohol, not to much but do it a couple of times. Make sure to let it dry before you turn it back on.
This fixed mine.

That worked for me as well. When I bought my phone, the power button was so sensitive that even the slightest amount of pressure on it would cause it to boot or turn the screen off. I was going to return the phone, but a few minutes work with alcohol and a Q-tip saved me the hassle.

Cleaning my button worked for me, but that was 3 months ago and now its back to not working. Worst part is that my volume buttons arent feeling to healthy either! Hopefully it holds on until upgrade time .

Don't be a p**** take your phone apart dab your button with some electronics cleaner and press the button a few hundred times and repeat and then put it back together.

If you guys are going to be opening the phone again at some point, it would be a great idea to take a couple of picture.
I think that my cappy is about to have the same issue (sometimes it doesn't recognize the power button) and it would be nice to have some king of guide to do the cleaning.

Try to clean around and inside or open it up and clean the power button, if that doesn't work you should just get a new phone. The captivate is already really old

do u think it can be solved by an upgrade

Yes, if you upgrade the phone, the new one comes with a new power button - problem solved!

Just use the rom that have option to wake the phone up by the volume rocker buttons. Also make sure to get screen off app to lock the phone up.

I opened my cappy and cleaned the button with contact cleaner, and now it works like new.

Hey now, some of us still like to keep our phones maintained until we do get a new phone
Or.... can't afford a new phone every 2 years... 199.99 isn't cheap (or 700 for unlocked and off contract)

Just Send It To Me

[Q] Recovery Question

Hey all I have a question about recovery on my GS2. My question is my phone wont power on due to a black screen and constant vibrating. It happened to me twice now and the first time I was able to fix it. My question is I made a recovery on my phone after I fixed it and I called t-mobile tonight and they are going to send me a replacement phone. My question is I have a backup and I was wondering if I could take that backup and restore to it on my new phone???

It SHOULD work. No guarantee though.

i think you can do a factory reset. it's in settings.

Yes, you can erase all info. Just wipe it all. Factory reset...cache....system...dalvick...etc. Your phone will be squeaky clean :fingers-crossed:

I cant power on the phone or get into recovery.

Holding power button and both up and down volume buttons don't work either? I mean hold all 3 at the same time.

[Q] My galaxy s2 SGH-T989 wont turn on.

Ok, so i can't really tell if this particular problem has been posted before but from what i have looked through it has not. However, if i have just missed it then please just redirect me to it as long as it matches my problem so please read through my post before posting that its been done.
So moving along, as the title says i have a Samsung Galaxy s2 SGH-T989 and i've been running CyanogenMod 10.2. Oh and before i forget, the battery is not dead and just in case i've tried to turn it on while plugged in only to get the same results. Anyways over the past 24 hours my phone started shutting off randomly to the point now that it shuts off before finishing booting. If it does finish it doesn't stay on long enough to do anything and sometimes it barely turns on.
Has this been heard of before and even if not what can i try or do?

Three words:
Broken power button
Apparently it's a very common issue with this phone.
It has yet to happen on my phone. I hope it never does lol.
You can try replacing the button yourself or take it to a cellphone repair shop.

Sounds right, the button is difficult to replace, best to have a shop replace it. I have fixed a couple by tightening the button. You tube, easy power button fix t989 by iamkambodian. Only if you're OK with taking it apart.
Ps, you can feel the button click if it's good.

Well i tried the method in the video and that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Also not entirely sure its the power button but i don't really know how to tell either. Anyways if there are any other ideas please let me know.

This is what I did when I messed up a recovery: plugged it in the computer and held all 3 buttons until Samsung then just volume up. It got me into download mode where I used Odin to flash another recovery.
