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

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.

[q] help please!!

Today I went into recovery mode to fix permissions because my phone was running funny. I used the cache wipe script and when i tried rebooting my phone it wouldn't turn on. I decided to take the battery out for a few minutes to see if that would help. It finally turned on but it is stuck on the boot animation. I have tried to get straight into recovery after trying to reboot it but it won't let me. Could someone please help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Have you tried holding down both vol down + up and power button same time then releasing power button when the phone vibrates?

I've tried that and nothing. I can turn it on now but it gets stuck on the boot animation. I cant get into recovery.
Edit: Finally got it into recovery now I'm going to flash a backup i made yesterday. Thanks for the reply.

Hold the vol up and down with power button at the same time. Let it vibrate once and take finger off power button and once Samsung logo comes on take your fingers off the volume rocker.

Your going to have to reflash your custom ROM from your recovery menu

He most likely used TDJ's scripts on the newer CWM versions and borked his recovery. I've done the same thing with my device...

It vibrates and flashes samsung in white, then stays black, doing nothing. Upon releasing the buttons it vibrates again and goes into boot up.

Long story short....for the last couple hours I've tried to get into the stock Factory Recovery. What the hell is the key combo to do it? ZV7, ZV9

I cant boot up! My phone just freaked out, no I havent messed with JB yet, but I cant boot into anything. LGNPST zv7, zv9 and it freezes at the 4GLTE logo. ADB shell won't let me wipe /data and I think that's where my problem is.

vol up + power? or vol down + power? let go when the cap lights flash

No dice. I've tried every combo I can think of too.
Vol+down gets the lights, but holding it, or letting go just boots me back to the 4glte screen

please let me know if you make any headway!

Hold volume down and the home button. Then press and hold the power button. Hold all these til just after you see the soft buttons light up.

I couldn't even do that! But after lgnpst 7,9 twice each, and messing long enough with it I finally got it. But as _Epic said...vol+ down until lights came on then I let go. After about 1min recovery finally showed up.

Odd, works for me every time. But as long as you got into the recovery, it doesn't matter how

Two of us at the same time? Too weird.
I'm taking this as a sign to put JB on it now. I'm already ready anyway

vol up + power = recovery mode
vol down + power = download mode

actually...took me a while to figure out too. i think every phone is different.
i hold power + volume up until i see the blue 'recovery booting' comes on, then i release the power button but still holding the volume up for about another 10sec or hold until i see recovery

If you hold volume up or down as the phone vibrates to restart or boot, you get recovery and download mode respectively. You don't even need to hold power. It's actually much easier than older Android phones. No secret, you're just doing it wrong. jk.
Give it a try though. Restart your phone, and as long as you're holding down the volume up button from the indicating vibration until the blue text shows up in the top left corner, then you can let go. Same goes for down for download mode, but it will immediately go to the warning screen.

The secret =
Keep holding it down till u see the Samsung Logo, then release.

if i let go of the volume when i see the blue logo only.. then it takes me to the stock recovery..or some other recovery so i kept thinking my recovery didn't get flashed. but what i had to do was just hold the volume key longer. ..until my recovery boots up.
this only applies to my recovery mode, i think it has to do with the ota update which had a root locked kernel.

No need for the home button. If you trigger a restart from the os, you don't even need the power button.
If you're on the ota and are having trouble rooting, go into download mode and flash a custom recovery tar. Then when it auto resets, hold down the vol up button until the blue text in the upper left corner appears on the galaxy s4 splash screen. Boom you're in custom recovery

Sounds like your going into download mode and not recovery. just hold volume up and hit restart on the phone.
