Hi!! I just dropped my LGOG on concrete on the upper left corner of of the phone! 1 week old! oye me!
How do i power it off?? It keeps restarting when i hold down power, and is now in system recovery with the only option to reboot recovery....... i need it powered off. Is there a button combo i can do? Or a program i can download on my computer to do so? (Down falls to a phone with no removable battery)

Have you tried holding power button for like 15-20 seconds?

Can you explain this a little better? I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean.
Lol ok I push the power button to shut off the screen to put it in sleep or whatever and when I push it the screen turns right back on and then I have to push the power button again and then the screen shuts off

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.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy S II
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

is there any way to put this phone in a sort of stand by mode so that nothing happens with the phone but you can quickly turn it on with the tap of the power button do you don't have to wait for the phone to turn on?
Thanks

is there any way to restart a frozen phone without pulling the battery? i tried holding the home + power for 30 seconds with nothing but a screenshot. it's sad having to go back to pulling a battery again after all the years of just holding a button down.
and i do understand that the average user won't need to pull a battery as much as we would.

Most smartphones you just hold the power button for 10-20 seconds.

My GN2 just arrived so I haven't had a chance to play with it. But on my HTC Flyer I have to hold down Power and Volume down to reboot.

i've tried multiple times up to 30 seconds with no shutdown. not even while in download. normal samsung devices is 5-10 seconds (at least all my sammy tablets and the other sammy phones). maybe my power button is a bit flaky and i'm not giving it a constant press. i'll look into it. thanks!
If you're looking for the insta-reboot, that has to be baked into the kernel.

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.
