how? how do i shut off this phone??? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

ok by no means am i a n00b but usually you would hold the power or a second or two and then a menu would come up and say: "airplane mode, data, restart, power off." (i think i missed some but you get it). but i dont have that when i hold the power button nothing happens also some how i have on screen buttons on LG8 and i dont know what i did???? how do i get that menu back?????
EDIT: i pushed this in ADB http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1213237&d=1342909128 (it was supposed to add the 4 in 1 reboot mod) and i got it from the 9th post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769661 then rebooted lost the menu and got onscreen buttons...... stock LG8 rooted

Pulling the battery always works.
But I would unroot and flash back to stock and start over.

Use the quickboot app in the Market
Then use Odin or something

Also, hold the power button for 8 seconds.

When I was on my sII data got damaged from an instant shutdown. I don't want that..... Quick boot is an instant shutdown plus I don't want to use Odin or twrp because I like my onscreen buttons

Reflash your ROM
Just use quick boot to get to recovery
I'm guessing you have cm10/aokp one or the other
I've used quick boot many times with no problem on multiple s1,s2,s3 and nexus devices with no problem
Also by reflashing your ROM you overwrite all mess ups you did with out a wipe
@zander that was a cool find I didn't know about so thanks

Did you use some MOD for a specific ROM, on another one? Like the one from FreeGS3 on Blazer?
Check if the mod is compatible with your ROM.

As others members said.... reflash. But as you are stock, go and choose some ROM with the mod. I use FreeGS3 and it have the mod.

Will a ROM fix this??

I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

[Q] Broken Power button, any way to fix or mod?

So i dropped my Epic 4g on the stairs, and it landed directly on the power button. The button no longer works. If someone knows how to fix this, I would LOVE details. If it is not possible, can any of the devs cook up a mod to make my phone boot as soon as the charger is connected? Any feedback is appreciated.

Do you know if its just the plastic button or is it broken more towards the motherboard? Also I'm not sure of any dev who would know how to change the power on to the charger input.

Do u have any way to turn it on? At least to get to cwm? Cuz if u can and flash cm7 it has an option to turn another button into the power button.

more towards the mother board. I opened it up, removed the plastic button, and used a small screwdriver to press the actual button. No dice

I can turn it on (oddly enough rapidly inserting and removing the power cord tricks it into turning on) and yes I can get into clockwork mod. I already user cyanogen mod 7. Where is this setting? I already changed the "volume rocker wake" setting. If there another one to remap the keys?

No I think you got the one that was in my mind. I'm on the peoples rom now so I can't really go and check to make sure but its the setting that makes the phone turn on by the volume key I'm guessing? So maybe you have the one I was thinking about? What other use do you need the power button for at the moment? Order a replacement and just flash the FC09 tar before giving it in. Say that u don't know what's wrong but it won't turn on lol.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Well if your power button doesn't work then Odin isn't a possibility. But if you can get into download mode then Odin to stock and turning it into the nearest sprint store would be your best bet....

I have no passcode on my phone and when I slide the keyboard the screen turns on and I just swipe it to unlock. Or you can use your insurance and get it replaced for $100.

Put the button back in, odin to el30, remove sd card and bring it to sprint. That's your best option.

If he could odin than he can turn on the phone hence no need for this thread but that's not the case. Honestly just go pay the money and have sprint give you another phone and say you lost it. Its the same cost even if you give them the phone I've done it before for people who wanted my epic for cricket and with the additional cash I payed for the issurance. Your paying for insurance use it.

I can deal with it until June. Then everyone on the house upgrades but me. I'll take my older sisters epic 4g and use my parents HTC EVO's as mp3 players. Or whatever the hell music format I so damn choose player as my audiophile friend refers to Android phones (he's kinda a fan). But thanks for the help guys. Looks like it's a waiting game

Quickboot from Play has a flash to recovery option.
I'm on CM10 (nightly 9/28) and recently my power button broke.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27334251&postcount=6
Menu - Settings - Display - (scroll down to Wakeup Options and check Volume rocker wake)... but it doesn't wake it from a deep sleep. Anyone have any ideas?

Power button broken? -closed-

Just randomly my phone started glitching on this CM10.1 Xperiance rom I was on, so I used my pc to Odin to a stock rooted rom. So I have no tweaks or anything and my power button won't work when i try to lock my screen and when the screen times out I cant unlock it. I have to pull the battery and the it just turns itself back on? Any way to fix this? If not does anybody know if this would be covered under my insurance to recieve a new phone. Thanks for your time in advance.

Strange Ads on CM10.1

I sometimes use the emoji keyboard that I downloaded off of the Play Store, but right now I 'froze' the app via Titanium Backup Pro because almost 3 times a day, I will get strange advertisements in my notification bar/drawer. And note that I only see this in this CyanogenMod ROM I'm running right now, when I'm running stock TouchWiz, these strange ads never appear. Is there any way to prevent these annoying ads?
Forgot to mention that I do have AdAway installed and working, but it doesn't work for the emoji keyboard.

You can try using an air push blocker, or a different keyboard like go keyboard or kii which both have emoji inputs
