i would like a script that would shutdown from a script but not immediately ( like not a battery pull) because i know off an app that does that but i don't want to do that i want a safe shutdown. if you ask why i need this and not just hold the power button then it is because when i hold down the power button i dont get the menu.........
I'll post this here as well.
Hold the power button for 8 seconds and it will turn off. Or so says the stock Task Manager.

But that's a instant shutdown. Can't that damage data?

It won't hurt anymore than a battery pull.

I backed up this script a long time ago and just recently found it on my SD. It shuts down the phone
#!/system/bin/sh
reboot -p

I think when you are in recovery, its volume up, volume down, volume up that enables power button

I've cycled through the menu up and down and the power burton wouldn't work. I had to hit it about 8 times for it to work.
I'm going to test that now.

I tried that and it worked on the first try. Will have to test it out some more to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I had the same problem. I came across the solution by accident when I hit the volume up and down buttons in succession several times (up down up down up down). Give that a try!
I hit volume up really fast about 10-15 times and that is what activated the power button for me.

Nope, its no fluke if you start at the top. Thanks to Tiffany84 and qbking for the tip when I asked about scrolling 15 or 20 times

I've got 5.0.2.7 and for me the power button is the back button and home is for making a selection.

That is correct. If u way the power button to be the enter button then when cwm loafs up it volume up, down, and up again and then u should see "back button enabled" and then the power button makes the selection.

I read this as power button rarely works on cm

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It has to do with scrolling through the options completely and going around. So If you go to a screen with less options it will be faster to hit the volume up or down. I believe it is 3 loops that enables/disables it.(maybe 2...)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Uhh... just use the home button to select? Power button is for going back.
Thats what was figured out.

Is there a mod like that...where I could use the home button to wake my
Phone because my power button just popped off yesterday...or know any to me that do that...I know Pacman Rom does...thanks in advance...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Thought all ROMs allowed it unless they removed it.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....
If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?
You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836758
Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

How do I enter recovery mode? It doesn't seem like its so straightforward as the GNexus. (Vol. Down + power button)
Just the booting process alone has ate up 20% battery in 5 minutes..

Vol up + power. When you see the bootloader hit vol down twice then power.

My brothers S3 is soft bricked, it boots but will not go into recovery mode. It will go into download mode but before I am able to flash anything it shuts off. I made sure that the battery was fully charged. Any suggestions?

Whwn you go into download mode are you connected to ODIN? Does Odin at least see the device?
Odin recognizes it but before it can do anything the phone shuts off

Make sure it has a satisfying click when pressed. If yes than I'm wrong. If not than try pressing it a couple times or spraying compressed air at it.
