Restart freezing

So ever since I updated to the latest firmware I can't use the restart function. I'll hold the power button down and the box will pop up, I select restart, the Samsung logo appears and then the screen goes black but the bottom button lights stay on and nothing happens. It will just stay like this forever if I don't stop it myself. It's faster if I just power it off myself and restart...
Anyone heard of this happening?

this has been answered many times. use darkside cache wipe if you can find the download cause the original thread's link is dead.

Note 2 Menu and Back

Just checked. I am getting haptic feedback on my menu and back keys.

Probably a stupid question but have you gone into Settings> Sound then scrolled down to the System Settings list? At the bottom of the page you'll find the Haptic check box.. I hope that's all it is for you.

Yea its checked... thanks tho

Hey mike, I have 2 more ideas. First one is. Have you tried removing your battery for at least 10 second and holding your power key button in for at least 10 second to fully drain your phone of power (a "soft reset" then putting the battery back in and turning your phone back on? The second idea would be to Factory Reset your phone. Again sorry if these are stupid questions.. You've probably already tried these things.

Havent done factory reset yet trying everything else first ill try soft reboot... already wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permission idk why the keyboard is the only thing that has it. Thanks again

Resolved ... power saving mode was enabled I knew it was gonna be something stupid
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I'm glad you figured it out. I learned something from your issue too. Good stuff.

Thanks, now I know why mine was no longer working. Didn't realize power save mode even did that.
On a weirder note, my text notifications set themselves to default tone instead of the separate one I had chosen. Power save doesn't do that too does it? Cause I can't imagine how that would save power.

Any way to fix home button wake up bug?

Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

I've seen this behavior too. It's quite annoying.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.

The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?

I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.

This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39326

The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?

I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

[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.
http://youtu.be/Ud4bb12gARw
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,

or you could just hit the power button hard a couple times with an eraser and try to put some compressed gas in there

I tried the eraser thing an It didnt seem to work. I dont have any compressed air but I will try ot when I do

[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.
