[Q] Volume up + Volume down

Hey lads,
this is probably a very dumb Q, but since I am new to all this android schmuzzle and couldn't find ballocks on that, don't judge me too hard ;]
I've noticed that when u press both VolUp and VolDown ( put pressure kinda in the middle or the rocker ) the phone vibrates once and then after several seconds (seems to vary) it vibrates three times fast. Now what the flick is that? Not that much of a big deal but it gets annoying given that even when the screen is off and the phone is locked doesn't seem to give a damn
thanks
has happened to me too but hard to reproduce. I have no ideas why it happens. Sometimes it occurs when the phone is booting up for me as well.
Put ur finger in the middle of the rocker and press ( not even hard ). It happens every time in my case. even when the phone is locked
I get the same behaviour, sure is strange.
Kinda old thread but I didn't want to start a new one either. I've noticed this too by accident. When you turn off your screen and press both volume buttons at the same time it vibrates once and every other time twice or thrice. If it vibrates only once it will vibrate again a couple of times after about 10 seconds. Has someone found a reason to this already?

Maybe HTC thought "Why not? Let's do this and see how they discuss about it." ^^

These buttons are part of combimation of three finger salute (at least look like that)...if you press voulme up + Down and power button, phone will reboot....so might be vibration is just an indicator to show go ahead and press the power button for restart.......Just a Guess
Pressing Volume Up + Down simultaneously while having USB Debugging turned on creates a bug report in the bugreports folder on your SD card.

I can't get it to reboot by pressing the 3 buttons.

This is correct, there's always a new bugreport after I press the volume buttons. I don't think that it's even necessary to have usb debugging on.
Thanks for the quick answers, but could there be something more to it?

Press the power button first and then press volume up and down..you will get a reboot...
Nope, can't get it to reboot. Perhaps this is rom related?

It shouldn't be, but its really hard to get it if you are trying to press three button, you can try power button and middle vol button......any ways I also tried lot of times before I got my first reboot....
1) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time = Vibrations & all processes' states and stacktraces dumped to /data/arn/traces.txt (thanks to alind_)
2) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time + POWER BUTTON once = instant reboot
Works for me with CM7 and Stock Sense.

[Q] Is my phone dead

Great... I was checking weather from my One V, and the phone froze and screen went off when I pressed power button to try lock it. Now when trying to boot to bootloader, I get all time "error: device offline"
What is wrong.. Since it is unlocked and custom ROM, warranty will probably not help me?
It cannot be fully dead, as ADB still detects it, although it doesn't work and in device manager it shows up as "My HTC"
E: Awesome.... I removed SD card and SIM card and that cover, now tried press power button and, oh, lockscreen shows up and my phone is working again fine! Don't know why it did not work for while.
Case closed
How about force reboot - long press power for 5-7 seconds ?
Or force to bootloader - long press power for 5-7 seconds while holding the volume down and release the power button after 5-7 seconds but keep holding the volume down button ?
Also you can try the cable on other port if it helps

If you already didn't saw, the problem just went away. I pressed power button, and well, lockscreen appeared. I do not know why did my phone did this, but it works fine now. (Using your mySENSE-v RC3.0, great ROM! =) )

Reboot without working touchscreen

Used the search and Google but couldn't find anything comparable.
Somehow my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi)'s touchscreen just died during traveling to work and I am not able to restart the device.
Is there any button combination to do this or any other way possible? I can turn on the device and the power on/off and volume buttons are working, but I cannot select e.g. shut down as the touchscreen is not responsive.
The device is not rooted or anything, just plain stock, newest firmware version.
any help appreciated!
Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds.
Eventually it'll first shut down, then as you keep pressing the power, it will turn back on.

[Q] power button automatically pressed

So I have my htc one x for a year now. Rooted and custom rom, all worked fine.
The keypresses of the power button will be simulated very fast with no actual pressure on the power button. So after some minutes off locking and waking my device I pressed volume down and power button. Now sometimes it simulates the volume down and power button.
So sometimes it shuts off the device.
So I opened the device and there appears to be nothing wrong with it. I turned my HOX on and quickly unplug the ribbon cable from the power button off. But the power button is still pressed really fast, like 2 times a second.
I can't even go into recovery to backup, restore or flash anything because it will press the power button really quick and after 10 seconds it turns itself off.
It happened before on Slimbean rom. But the problem went away after some days. Now i got MIUI and the problem is back. So I don't think it is rom related.
My solution:
Is there a way to disable hardware keys in the recovery? Then i can try to restore my official RUU nand..?

My TM-320 can no longer be powered on.

I have been using the original Samsung stock rom on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Today, I rooted it and installed CM11 Nightly. Everything went smoothly and I was able boot into the CM after flashing it and I use the power button to restart the device. Then I installed "Reboot Menu Widget ROOT" from Google Play so that I don't need to press the physical power button. But after installing it, I launched it and select the reboot option, the device went power off and I can no longer power it on. I pressed the power button, but no use. I tried to enter recovery or download mode, but no possible. I believe the battery has not run out yet. But I put it in charger for now. There is no light showing it is charging.
Did I completely brick the device and is there any possibility to power it on? I appreciate your advice very much!!!!
Just plug in your charger, then press the power button and keep holding it pressed for at least thirty seconds, or until it powers on
Thank you
