how do you access the power button on the rear? Or am I missing something obvious?
Knock knock. ?

I think the only thing i use the power button for is to restart the phone. Other than that I use the knock feature... which kicks major ass by the way. ?
Theres a power button?!?!
/s
Are you not aware of the double tap? Also, if its a qi charging dock (or it's plugged in), you can go into the developer menu and make it so the screen never turns itself off while charging.

Something strange happened yesterday. Went to power on my phone so I held the power button. Then I pressed the power button one more time before it booted and next thing u know I'm looking at safemode. Looked just like stock rom except for the words safe mode in the bottom corner. I had no idea we had a safemode lol

I did some searching and found that you can get Android into safe mode by holding the menu button while turning on the phone. Safe mode appears to prevent anything from starting so you can uninstall a bad program.
Warning, it reset my widgets when I turned off the phone and started in normal mode again.

One thing to add, I had to use the menu button on the physical keyboard. I couldn't get the soft button to work. It seems like you have to hold it until the main lock screen shows and you will see safe mode on the bottom left.
Power+Vol Down buttons are not working to capture a screenshot. I know it worked sometime last night. Definitely sure I am holding down those buttons. Tried rebooting, powering off and back on and still does not work. Running Logcat as root doesnt show anything happening when holding those buttons down. They work individually (holding power brings up the power menu and holding volume down changes the volume).
EDIT: So I noticed that a bug report was created. Emailed it to myself, and saw this line in the textfile:
WindowManager: Screenshot failure taking screenshot for (1920x1200) to layer 21005
Hey man, might be a hardware issues, was able to take a screenie on mine.

Wifi in sleep mode
With these advanced wifi settings: Keep wifi on during sleep - never, scanning always available - unchecked,
should i be receiving notifications like email when my tab is asleep via the magnetic switch on the case? I figure it's either a ROM bug (12/20 build 3) or I don't understand something about sleep mode. If its relevant, I switched back to elementalX v2.3 kernel. I sent myself an email and a few seconds later, my tab chirped, even tho the case was closed w mag lock enabled. What am i missing?

Hey I have an M7 I just did the Google Edition Conversion. 5.0.1 RUU restore. Its freaking fantastic! Like a brand new phone!
I have the OEM car dock. When I slide it into the dock, I get an "Android Auto" splash screen, I have never seen before. It does the splash screen then back to the standard home screen. Then when I'm in an app, when I press the home key, it will do the splash screen again.
I've tried to grab a screenshot but its too fast.
Is anyone else seeing this and is there more to it than just a splash screen?
Cheers!
I am seeing it too on my Moto X 2014 when using trigger to enable car mode. It pops up then disappears, also when pressing the home button until I disable car mode. No apparent functions or features just the splash.

Also can't get a screen but I will try to get a photo and post it
Ya I think once people see a photo maybe they'll get excited and we can explore this further. It's definitely the "Android Auto" logo, as seen here:

HI all my tab s will not turn on, but if i plug it in to a wall outlet it turns on fine, but it does not boot into android it boots into recovery menu. Long story short i sent it in for repair to Samsung last month the day i got it back i went on holiday. that's where the same issues came back screen flickering erratic battery not charging up properly freezing up etc etc. When i sent it to Sammy it was on kitkat and all Sammy service center did is update it to lollipop ran some diagnostics and sent it back to me.
Due to it not booting up i had a old 4.4.2 firmware file on my computer so i flashed it since then it don't boot to android it boots to android recovery menu and it will not turn on with out a wall outlet as a power source, also soon as i remove the wire it shuts off immediately..
i'm downloading lollipop as i'm typing this out, but the problem is it's been plugged into the laptop for about 15 mins or so and it's not turning on so how do i flash lollipop ?
Try holding the power button home button and both volume buttons all at once holding the home button first then the volume keys then finally the power button. If this dont work or your still getting screen flicker open tab up remove battery for 5 mins and plug it back in. YouTube has tutorials

And hold them in for up to ten seconds
Hi, my LG started to turning off the display self. It happend sometimes, but now display doesn´t screen anything (LG logo, bootanimation, homescreen nothing). Touch is dead too in that moment. Is it possible the error is in display (connector, power button etc.) and motherboard is good? Or is it bad motherboard?
Thanks
Hard to tell, I'd try charging the phone and see if the notification LED turns on. If it does then we would know that motherboard is at least partially working, maybe even not damaged (in my experiencie motherboard was either fine or completely broken, nevery anything in between)
As for the connector: Everything inside every smartphone is packed so tightly that it would be rather improbable for tge connector to disconnect, I would rather say that it may rather be broken screen.
If you have flashed unofficial ROMs they also may cause these kind of problems (buggy drivers etc.), you could try to enter fastboot mode or recovery mode to see if screen works there,these two modes uses different software than normal "android" mode.

(for some reason I am unable to edit my previous post)
About power button: if you turn on G4 it should vibrate, that would tell you if your phone boots.
If you have multimeter you could try to measure battery voltage, it should be between 3 and something volts to 3.8V (fully charged)
If everything else fails you can once again try to enter fastboot mode and check if your PC detects it ("fastboot devices" in cmd)
