Just got my NS and right out of the box with 2.3.3 I have no lock screen also. I can shut power off and when I hit the power buton again, it just turns the phone back on. No slide to unlock. Am I missing something??
UPDATE: Hard re-set did the trick.. Damn-it! Installed all my stuff too!
Not sure how many know this (I am certain there are a bunch!) about our phones, but I thought I would pass along the info...
I see a lot of folks talking about the phone locking up or crashes and such and needing to do a battery pull to restart/un-freeze.
There is another method - particularly useful if you use a case, but useful for everyone IMO...
Holding all three buttons (power/screen toggle, volume up, volume down) for a few seconds will also do a soft reboot - soft in the sense that you do not need to pull the battery, but not soft in that it is not a graceful shutdown.
Just thought I'd pass that along.
Carry on.
You only need to hold down the volume up and sleep keys to do the reboot.
even better
There is a app called quick boot that gives you the option. I have short cut on home screen comes in handy.

Running an app will not help in a situation where the phone is locked, which is what the OP is attempting to address.
Edit: yes I've used this numerous times it will save the hassle

Hey,
I don't know why but sometimes my Power Button won't turn off my phone. Well ..actually not even the "Touch Control" Method works. But pressing it for ~5sec (whatever) makes the phone reboot. So the button is functionable.
Also my mobile data sometimes doesn't work .. no signal at all. I recieve sms , can make a phonecall and WiFi etc still works. But not 2g/3g.
I'm using rooted Stock ROM with Stock Launcher and "eXperience Pro" + "Touch Control" App if that does matter.
Can somebody explain it to me :<?
Thanks in advance

It's called a BSOD- Black Screen of Death. It has to do with the Touch Control app.
For the signal thing, reinstalling the stock ROM.
Hey, thanks for your response.
But wait the Screen is ON. I can't turn it OFF. I can open apps like always but it just don't turn off :/

Oh.. I misread that.. Sorry
Still related to touch control. The app messes up the touchscreen.
Hm okay thanks ..can't live without the app anymore. But why does it mess with the Power Button?
It happened again and now touch control wasn't even installed :/.. And I rebooted my phone. What the heck is wrong here

First of all, i appreciate anyone who takes the time and reads this.
I have the same issue, and always had when installing mods in the past. The phone becomes irresponsive and laggy at times, even though when you flash the rom at the start it is buttery smooth and battery life is amazing! It seems that this is always short lived, however, and I am constantly having problems flashing ROMs on my phone (Both my current Galaxy Nexus and prior Galaxy SII). I would love to tell you my kernel but at the moment the POWER button is as well not responding. So much so that i can't turn the phone on!! :crying: Any help would be appreciated. I've tried taking the battery out, and putting it back in and ive also tried booting the phone via usb without the battery. Nothing's working. The battery is responsive, however, it displays the battery meter (while charging) when i click the power button once. It just doesn't respond when i hold it down to try and turn the phone on.
Many thanks!!

Hey.
For me, as I already mentioned, it doesn't turn off.
But I'm pretty sure that I found the issue : experience pro. When I try to take a screen shot of my screen on time it doesn't make one and the power button won't do ANYTHING UNTIL I press volume down or up ones. So for me it's the change track when pressing volume feature. Maybe it'll help. Greetings.

I was wondering about this myself. I run Nova Launcer. So what I was thinking is if there's a shortcut or maybe a widget I could install to shut it off completely. Haven't checked for those tho..

If you download quickboot from the play store then it gives you the option of making a power off widget. I use that since sometimes I'm too lazy to get up and just want to roll over . Also in the stock launcher there's a power off button but it doesn't shut the ouya all the way off. And then there is editing the layout of the controller itself in I believe system/usr/keylayout/something.kl replace something with the controller or keyboard you wanna change. By the way a .kl file can be opened and edited in any text editing program.

good info gotta try that
I noticed today that when you press the power button on top, the console goes into standby. You need to press and hold for a second then it asks if you want to power down. This is a full power down
HDMI shuts down and even it the screen still has power, that eventually shuts down to.
Let me know it that helps.

The only full power down i found is holding the button on top of the console. The off option the controller gives u seem to only shut off the video out put which can be woken up very easily.

So quickboot is very good. Only thing is , it instantly kills everything. Like physically pulling the plug. Should I be concerned it's not properly 'putting everything away' before shut down? Thoughts?

This doesn't technically turn the OUYA off, it puts it to sleep in a low power mode. While it should be okay, even over long periods of time, it may not be the ideal way to turn off the system all the time.

I had the same issue too, but it can be 'fixed' by changing an option in the menus. If you go into the Manage->System->Advanced menus, then go into Developer options and turn it on via the on/off toggle switch in the top right hand corner, then go down to the 'Stay awake' option and uncheck it. It should shutdown completely now.
But its still to easy to wake up only sure way I found is to hold the button on top of the ouya.

My understanding is that this disables the hdmi wake-up issue, but still allows the controller to wake it up. I was using Android Tuner to shut down the OUYA, but never actually checked to see if it was in some type of sleep mode. I'm fairly certain it was completely off. I haven't fixed su since the last OTA, because I have been content with my setup. Next OTA I'll probably do a full data wipe and try some of the fun stuff that has been created recently.

After doing that configuration change, I found it doesn't wake up unless I activate the controller and turn it on. Before, it would start up again on it's own and just sit at the prompt even after I told it to shutdown.

Yes, that make sense, that's the behaviour I see. I'm guessing it wakes up the Ouya even though I shut it down because I leave my monitor/tv on and it goes into sleep mode automatically. If I turned off my monitor/tv, it probably wouldn't do that anymore.
I have a HDMI splitter with a blue light to show what channel is being used even with this new change the light show active it only goes of when the ouya is powered down from the top button.

Okay, this is plane and simple all, there are TWO WAYS to turn off the OUYA COMPLETELY! This DISABLES the ability to turn on the console by the controller:
FIRST is the built in way of holding down the button till the dialog comes up then clicking it off.
SECOND is to sideload an app that does that with a button press. Apparently some of these DO NOT work and I'm not sure which ones do, BUT if you can turn it on with the controller it is NOT all the way off.
ALL other ways will NOT completely turn it off!
IF you can turn it on by the controller it is ONLY ON STANDBY/SLEEP

I'm not sure what all the shouting is about. I think the last few posts were clear about whether or not OUYA was asleep or off. I may setup su tonight if I time. I have had an unlucky streak of OTAs releasing within a few days of every time I setup su. Only a big deal because of the plug being a pain to access in the cabinet. Wireless adb has caused a few people headaches I'd rather avoid. If I do, I'll verify what the shutdown command does in some root apps.

heh I didn't mean it as a shout :laugh: Just emphasis on the words, maybe I should have just underlined them instead of capitalized them.
Darn internet and not getting subtle meaning of text
I had never heard of this prior to talking with tech support.
Function: disables all third party apps for checking network running issues with said apps.
How: with phone turned on, hold power button until the menu for shut down appears. Then press and hold "Power down" until it boots into the safe mode.
Reboot to leave safe mode.
Not sure if this is new or not as the few years I have been using Android I'd never heard about it.

You said it wrong. You press and hold "power off" until the safe mode prompt appears.
i learned something else - which might be obvious to others, but coming from gnex that was rooted/rommed from day 1 i didn't realize:
hold the power button and the phone will reboot.
even though there's no option in the power menu for reboot, only power off and airplane mode
