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.
And we're done

volume up and power until phone turns off and go into recovery
volume down and power until phone turns off and go into odin
now are we done?

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

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.

OP: If you know your English is bad (assuming English is not your native tongue) then you should at least become familiar with Google Translate

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

[Q]Apps for waking a phone with a broken power button?

So my power button is fried, and my replacement gets here on Monday, but I cannot live with a broken power button. So, any suggestions for app(s) that wake the phone using the volume key or something?

Bump. Need some help. D:

I'm running cm10 and under Settings» lockscreen» Screen Security there is an option to unlock the screen using the menu key (hard key on far left). Just tried it out, works flawlessly. Unfortunately I can't help you find the app you need and flashing a rom without using the power button may be problematic. Best of luck to you!

I would love to get CM, but the only problem is that since my power button is stuck, it's gonna be a pain to flash. And, not only that, as it is right now, since my power button is stuck, I was able to put it into ODIN mode and restore to stock unrooted to take it in, but I'm afraid that I might flash, and then the power button magically un-sticks, and then I'm screwed, cause I can't unroot it. Anyways, just today and tomorrow left, so not so bad. I actually think I can take it.

phone bricked??

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:

[Q] Loop Issue

All right. I just received a Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile (White) from a friend.
It doesn't boot up to the Stock Android. It's not rooted it's completely stock.
When you start it up it just goes to the Samsung Logo Screen then into a Samsung Android 4G screen in which the loading bar gets a lil over halfway and it just turns off and restarts the process. I'm not sure whether it's the power button issue i've been seeing in the past. Or if it's something wrong with the motherboard power button area.
I am also providing a video I recorded just to see what happens when I put the battery inside an then press the power button.
I was wondering if anyone could give me any things to try to fix it or a possible solution as I would like to fix this issue and root the phone.

Youtube of putting battery in and powering up.. An how the boot goes.

Is it constantly vibrating in your hand as it reboots? If so then most likely it's the power button
You could try circling around the power button with a pin. Blow it out then hit it with an eraser (or any large rubber item). That worked for me,
