I have a Dasaita PX6 with Android 9. Occasionally I need to reboot the device completely. However, the power button just puts it into sleep mode when I turn off the engine and after the 30 second delay, it completely powers off. Then when I restart the vehicle, it reboots with the startup screen etc. How do I do that while the vehicle is running? The only way for now I have found was to enter the factory settings and have a setting changed which then forces a reboot. What am I missing? Thanks!
Go into factory settings, and instead of 126, type hctreboot

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. So there is no button combination or other way?
I think holding that reset pin in is the only way. Which is still a major haste.

Hctreboot works, are you saying it doesn't work for you?
Also, power/recovery apps available w/root.
Yes, the hctreboot does work. I was just seeing if there was an easier solution (i.e. simple button combo) that would work well too.

how do i enable slide 2 lock on the phone when it's power off or back light goes off? it seems the only way to get slide 2 lock is to hit start then tap lock....
I think this is what you are looking for. Its what i use and works perfect! my screen locks when my backloight goes out or i hit my power button to turn it back on.

There are also a couple other auto lock screens here too but the link above is what i use.

Its in the start --> settings --> system area of the phone and its called smart lock. To autolock when backlight goes off check the suspend lock box
do you know if there's a way to lock when pressing the power button slightly?
thats what it does the hit the power button to turn the backlight off and when you turn it back on it will be locked
i just soft reset and now it hangs on the windows screen and won't boot. not sure what to do.

This program WAS working great for me earlier this evening, and I was happy with it.
But it randomly stops working (I'll hit the power button and then hit it again, and it won't have locked the device).
>_> Any thoughts / solutions?

You can also manually lock (with WM6.5) by pressing and holding the end/home key, unless you've assigned it to something else (see Settings --> Personal --> Buttons). Additionally under Settings --> Lock you can check the "Prompt if phone unused for" box and set a time (i.e. the same time as you set the backlight off), but you then do have to enter a PIN or password of your choice, I believe (which I do anyway for security).
I tried various apps such as S2U2, but found them excessively battery heavy or buggy, although Touchlock pro had loads of settings (including using stylus, keyboard, g-sensor etc.) which I possibly didn't configure right!
thanks for the feedback, i do notice sometimes this does not work...i've switched to s2u2 to see how it goes.
OK, so my little 9 year old brother got the Acer Iconia Tablet A100 so he wouldnt feel so left out that everyone else in the household has a tablet but not him, well he thought he would be smart and turn off the wifi and place a lock on it. Well he forgot the lock code and after many attempts he has to login with his google credentials, but the problem is that the wifi is off so it wont fix anything. So im trying to format it for him, I can get to the recovery screen, but only the volume buttons will work and the no other button will let me confirm the selection. Dose anyone know what i can do?

1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5 Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7 Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.

Hard reset the tablet, you'll lose everything, but it will revert to factory condition.
Power off the tablet
Hold Volume + (the one furthest from the power button/ lock switch, right if holding landscape)
While holding Volume + press and hold the Power button
Once it turns on, holding the Volume +, release Power and wiggle the lock switch up and down a few times.
Screen will then say its formatting or resetting or whatever it says.
After this completes, it may reboot, or power off, or continue booting into android, whatever it does, just let it go into android
It should greet you with the Welcome screen for setup.
Resume playing with it.

Can I do a hard-reset once I have unlocked bootloader & installed a custom recovery? Is there a way to go back to stock recovery?

You can still hard reset yes but it only erases user data nothing else.
If you want to go back to stock use one of the update.zip methods in vaches stock rom thread. It'll go back to stock recovery. If you want just the stock recovery there's a stock recovery.IMG around somewhere I'll see if I can find it.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.
It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?
Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.
All help is appreciated.
Same
[The exact same thing just happened to me someone please help
Fixed!
The way I had fixed this is by holding down the power button, both up and down sound buttons, and the home button until it restarted. When the device turned back on it gave the option to turn the setting off. Hope it helped!

how to turn off universal switch
hit home button 3 times
Thanks alot
It worked buddy
It doesn't give me the option to turn it off
Hi,
I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.
These are findings so far:
-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.
-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.
-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"
-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".
-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.
-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.
-> Took me half a day to sort this out.
The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.
Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.
You can also push the home button three times and it should turn it off.
thank u ur the best
Ok, so i have exactly the same problem except my home button doesn't work
Anyone one know how to sort this without having to take it in to a store?
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!
great fix

I have also tried rebooting it with the option suggested by you.. but I am locked due to password protected... My device not asked to disable Universal Switch option after reboot as well..

Is there an alternative to clearing the google lock pin when you boot the device? I am thinking hard reset is the only way

To hard reset, You have to turn off the phone, Press and hold Vol-(down) and Power button at the same time. When you see LG logo, release power button for 1 second and hold it again (never release volume button).When you see the screen prompting "Yes" or "No" select yes using any volume button, press power button and wait until done.
Once you do this, everything will be removed, right ? I did this, took out sim, and if I power on I get to the setup menu, about to sell it, just want to be sure without completing setup that my phone is safe to sell.
(Verizon version)
Thanks.

I know this problem is already solved, but you can factory reset your phone from within android, too. Just go to settings --> General --> Backup and Reset and chose "Factory Reset" option at the bottom. This is an implementation all modern android phones usually have Just for your next sell. Cheers
I have a Samsung I9250 which I've unlocked, rooted and loaded with Lineage. The Lineage version is 13.0-20171126-NIGHTLY-maguro. The recovery is TWRP and the root is through SuperSU FREE (CM) v2.79-SR3. The On/Off button doesn't usually work. If the phone is off then pressing On/Off has no effect. Occasionally it works for no reason I can see, it seems to be random, but for the most part it simply doesn't have any effect. If the phone is on then the same is true. Turning it off from the On/Off button is usually impossible. I get round this through Settings>Display & lights>Wake on plug. This means I can activate the phone by connecting it to a PC using its USB cable. This will activate the phone immediately if it is off. It doesn't help with turning it off and I am usually reduced to taking the battery out. The phone is effectively useless although it is clearly NOT bricked. When I can turn it on it works fine.
I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem. If it's a software problem I don't know if the fault is in Lineage or TWRP or SuperSU. I noticed that the problem existed before I installed SuperSU. Has anyone else come across this problem? I'm reluctant to bin the phone because I spent such a long time getting Lineage on to it, but, if I can't turn it on or off it's not really a phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@erich_vogt it's more a hardware problem, you can buy a new button (find link of online stores in accessories section or google.it).
for easyness you don't need to plug charge/usb everytime, you can set volume button waker, find in settings > button (don't remember where correctly, it will be somewhere there) then use volume switches to wake it.

There have been power button bugs, but only in the OS. If it's not turning on from off, then I think the switch is broken! A common failure in old phones, which is why "volume button to wake" is important, to reduce load on the power button.
Thanks very much for offering to help.
I already had the option for the Volume control buttons to wake the phone turned on. It's here - Settings > Buttons > Volume Buttons > Wake up device. This worked for a while then stopped. I disassembled the phone to look at the On/Off button. I tried turning the phone on directly from the metal contact pad beneath the plastic button. This worked. When the phone had booted I checked to see if there was another nightly update for Lineage. There was the 3rd of Dec update. I downloaded and installed the nightly update using TWRP. It reported a successful install. The phone rebooted and never got past the Google boot-up screen. I waited for a few minutes and the took the battery out and tried turning on again from the metal contact pad. The phone booted but again got stuck (or seemed to) on the Google boot-up screen. I'm afraid that's it for me. This doesn't appear to be related to anything I have done or not done. The phone is just taking up too much time and it will have to go the the local recycler. Life is, as they say, too short. Thanks again for your suggestions.

3rd dec nightly has problem with booting, get back to older than it.
Reset volume button waker, if it stopped working. I never had problems with volume buttons.
I'd second the idea of it being software. I've had problems with all builds after 20171112. I get the impression there was something overlooked when the developers unified the builds for different GNex variants.
If you still have the phone, try that 20171112 build.
I don't know how to roll back to an earlier build. The phone will not boot. If I try VolumeDown+On/Off to try to get into TWRP Recovery mode nothing happens. The adb bridge option is turned on but if I connect the phone to my PC with a usb cable it does not appear in Device Manager as it used to. If I run ".\adb devices" it is not listed so clearly adb cannot find it. I don't know what else I can do.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I thought you could still do more than that, but it was rebooting and unusable in that sense.
That's well beyond any help I can offer you. I hope you got any data off it.
