Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum but this is kinda to do with apps.
Is there an app or something which lets you see the power menu? When you hold down the power button it shows the reboot menu(with recovery) power off airplane mode. My lock button is faulty and I cannot access this. Is there an alternative? Thanks a lot

There are many alternatives.

I was trying to get into recovery a little while ago and missed the window of opportunity. I then kept holding the volume up/down buttons and the power while the boot sequence is active. The phone turns on like normal but the Widgets are inactive and user apps are no longer in the app drawer.
I couldn't find thus feature mentioned elsewhere so I thought I would post about it.
Cheers,
Dimitry

Yeah, on older phones you only had to hold the menu button during boot to boot into safe mode.

Haven't seen this anywhere and searching via my phone didn't turn up a previously existing thread about it.
regardless of the state if my phone I have always been able to force reboot without ever pulling the battery. Just hold power+ volume up+ volume down all at the same time for around 15 seconds. It will reboot while holding the buttons so just hold them till it reboots.
I apologize if this topic has already been mentioned.

I don't think the volume buttons have anything to do with it. You get the same result by just holding power.

Yeah, holding the power button down until it reboots has never ever failed me. Not once.
...the volume buttons are just voodoo at that point.
Nice, thanks for the extra bit of knowledge and the correction. So nice not needing to do a battery pull.

Guess I'm in the minority, because I enjoy the battery pull lol

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

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

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.

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.

Isn't it vol up + home + power for recovery and vol down + home + power for download mode?

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

When booting into recovery sometimes I get that warning screen in green why and what is that warning screen for why don't it automatically just boot into recovery since the phone is rooted.

Sounds like your going into download mode and not recovery. just hold volume up and hit restart on the phone.
I did search this forum but couldn't find any answers. So after I install CWM using Freegee, how do I boot into CWM using hard key combos? Or it can only be done using an app?
With the power off, hold the volume down, home, and power button and when the LG symbol shows up, just let go of home, keep holding vol and power.
Or, DL goo manager or rom toolbox lite, both can boot you into recovery.
Later
Steve
