ICS Power Off/Reboot and Portable Hotspot Fixes

I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:

This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.

ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll

That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..
OP, i will try out the fix, thanks.

I am patient. Just wondering how to use that app that's all. Couldn't figure it out. Rotation locker works best for me so far

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol

so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho

Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol

i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

[MOD] More Mods.. EPM and more

This is an Extended power menu with reboot and download options when you hold the power button down.. Enjoy..
Just flash via CWM.
Only tested on UCLH2.
Remove sms frm call log mod here!
ALL DOWNLOADS BELOW!
All mods are CWM flash able..

Love the mod, but it doesn't work for me. I keep getting continuous "<app name> has stopped" (gmail, facebook, swype to name just a few) after rebooting...?
Then it locks up and keeps rebooting. I am on UCLH2.

If your on anything other than UCLH2 it may not work.. I'm using it on my daily driver...

Idk why.. I flashed it on mine and running great. But its on my dd I posted ... which is UCLH2..
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium

I could just be talking nonsense, so forgive me if I do. Could this be a odex/deodex problem? Or something zip-align related?
I installed UCLH2 stock, using lite kernel 5.3 and rooted and debloated it myself. I also flashed the CRT off. Which makes it seem that the difference with your DD is odex/deodex or zip-align related, because I did not do anything like that.
Flashing CRT off again seems to fix the problems I previously experienced, by the way.
Correction: Flashing CRT off got it working well enough to back-up my data with Titanium back-up. Had to restore a nandroid because Play store kept failing when I tried to update apps.

Works like a charm dman. Thanks again.

Yes.. my dd is deodexed. If yours is still odexed then that is why it was freezing and rebooting. This includes the android.policy.jar which is deodexed..

Nothing wrong with that. I kinda like the stock rom and would be awesome with a few mods like the extended power menu you just added. That was one of things I missed from custom roms. Once again. Thanks for everything you do.

Haha oops edited for dmans rom.
This should work. No promises, that's why we are testers, taking chances and if it fails, we just go back to our original phone state using a backup we made prior. Don't wanna brick(dunno if that is possible cuz this phone is beautiful) then make sure you backup in recovery

I gave it a go on UCLJ3 earlier, but its not working for me. Holding the power button does something cos I can feel it register, but no screen pops up, then about ten second later it crashes out
It also seems to have stolen my weather widget off my home screen for some reason too.

That's because its not compatible with UCLJ3. As this was built with UCLH2.. as stated in OP

My apologies if I have offended you with my comment! I haven't had any trouble with your mod!
I recently flashed the one enewman17 added the tethering fix to, noticed the icon changes. hadn't needed to reboot download mode until yesterday! that's the only part I haven't tested! I've just been working and haven't had a chance to mention it here!
the download mode part wasn't a big deal to me since I hardly use it!

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??

Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.

hardware keys are active when screen is off?

I am running cm 10.1.0 RC2 and I really love this Rom everything is so smooth and responsive and battery life is unbelievable!!! The only issue I am having with it is whenever my phone is sleeping or the screen is off my hardware keys vibrate and even wake my phone straight to the home screen bypassing the lockscreen??? I am not sure why its doing this or how I could fix it? Has anyone else had this issue or anyone know a fix? Thanks in advance!!

Nevermind I figured it out it was happening cause under settings/security/screen lock I had it set on none.. So I switched it to slide and all is well again

so I'm having a similar problem, but your solution didn't fix it. when my screen is off my back/menu/etc keys still vibrate.
there is some kind of locker option that lets me slide the keys to unlock but I can't find it in the settings.

Slide to unlock is a kernel thing. Like Cerux Kernel has sweep2wake. Get kernel tuner and check misc to see if you have it.

[Q] (FIXED) Screen Rotation Reversed

Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.

BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.

Just figured out its a custom ktoonz kernel. Replaced it with old stock kernel with suid removed and problem seems fixed by my sd card went south when I did. Cant mount it. Copying files off it now.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.
