Xperia S and the non removable battery - Xperia Arc General

This may be a silly question, but with Android being a little finicky at times, I find myself occasionally having to open the back to remove the battery in order to reset a frozen phone. How will this be done in a phone with no removable battery?

Only thing that I can think of the iphone you can't open and never had a problem but that's apple! I guess we have to wait and see?

I think there will be another thing to do this.
Sony or any other manufacter will need it too, when they're programming some stuff and it doesn't work.
Or do you think they always take another device if something doesn't work?
It's the same thing with your computer long press the on switch.
Imagine you are in a boot loop and have to wait until battery is dead.

there should be some way to hard reset..may be a pin hole!!

I've read that usually you can hold the power button for like 10 seconds to force a power off.

That's the case for the Galaxy S! I had that phone and yes you can reset the phone by pushing the power button for 10 secs. I've tried with the arc but it doesn't work lol

Dropping to floor works too

Maybe SE thought we could remove the battery anyway? I tried it with my Neo too indeed, and didn't work either. Isn't it possible to build this in a ROM, so I don't have to remove the back cover?

This is not a software feature, as it is useful for just those situations where software actually fails, i.e. it's not responsive.
It's more like a hardware switch being activated by long press.

This is obsolete for the Arc because its battery is very much removable.

I have 3 questions

I have 3 questions...first and most annoying, why does my phone seem to hit the back button on its own? I will ne reading xda (for example) and I will feel the haptic feed back and it will take me to the subforum, then to main forum, then to phone selection screen. Then I cant select my phone again I have to hit my home button an restart the xda app. It happens with all different apps, I am just on xda most of the time.lol.
Second, has anyones phone booted into safe mode? Why does this happen?
And third, do you know where the standard wallpapers are located so I can delete them? I have found the live ones and they are gone and so are thw stock tones. Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
1st one sounds like a hardware defect or a rogue app. You can try a hard reset (wipe of data) and see if it fixes it, but if not, you got a wonky hardware set.
2nd, there is a combination of buttons to boot into safe mode, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that if the phone crashes a certain way, it will boot back into safe mode, but I'm not sure.
3rd, not sure, good question. I'd have to look at it, don't remember off the top of my head. Are you running stock or aosp ????
Answer to 3. Wallpapers live within the framework-res.apk You would gain nothing by going through the trouble of deleting them.
good day.

Mine does that too.. except its the menu key happens most when it is in my car dock (3rd party) tho i have power and audio running to it... wonders if it is bad hardware...
I have buttons press themselves sometimes. It's usually when there is a lot of buildup on the buttons from using. Wipe them off and the problem stops.

After wiping all stock tones and live wallpapers, I freed up about 30 mb and my phone just felt less bogged down. Also pulled a higher quadrant score(not that anyone cares about quadrant) just less useless crap on my phone. Thank you for answering

can you turn the screen on without pushing power button?

title says it all; its a PITA to reach around through the case to turn the screen on all the time, and, even though the screen is supposed to come on when you push the menu key on the hardware keyboard, it doesnt work that way, at least for me..
Can anyone offer any other suggestions?
I know once I root this, there will be other choices, but, I want to learn more about the device before I root it
thanks so much for your help!
no, since xoom doesnt have soft keys so the only way to turn the screen on its to touch the power button. in other terms if you want to wake the xoom up when screen is off you need to press power button.
hopefully, some one will develop a software fix
for this; I cant be the only person that is annoyed by this..
thanks!
What's so hard about pressing the power button?
Sent from my CM7 - EVO via XDA App
if you have the motorola folio case on it, its a pain reaching through the cut out every few minutes to turn the screen on..
Idk if it works on the xoom but simply lockscreen on the market has a feature that uses the devices proximity sensor to unlock the phone, it might be just what you are looking for. Like I said, not sure about compatibility but the developer is pretty active here on xda and he might be able to figure something out.

The Xoom does not have a proximity sensor. One developer that frequents the forms and gave us all a screenshot app for the Xoom for free, has an App Killswitch which does the opposite action that you want. When you close the case, the light sensor senses the darkness and turns the screen off. It would take more battery but likewise would be possible to do it the way you wish when opening the cover. Maybe if we ask nicely, he can make it happen
well, I installed nolock, from the market, and it reduces the steps to one to get the screen on; when you push the power button, there is no lock screen to go through, which helps, but I wish there was a way to wake it up with either the keyboard, or just tapping the screen..
I'm sure this will come one of these days..
EDIT: It only works sometimes, not ready for 3.0 I guess....
It is possible but will not work until we have a deodexed ROM. The is a way to remap the volume keys to wake the screen but as soon as the keyguard kicks in the volume keys are disabled. With a deodexed ROM I can disable keyguard. An alterative option I might be able to work out is to wake the screen with a paired keyboard via blurtooth. So far in my testing this is working well.
Basically I have mapped the F1 key on my keyboard to wake/sleep the Xoom.

Try to push the below file using adb ... you need root for this to work. After rebooting the right ctrl key on the Motorola keyboard should become a power button for you. Let the screen goto sleep for a few minutes and attempt to wake it using the button. Let me know if this works.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hsqqsehpcjr812t
ADB PUSH:
adb remount
adb push Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl \system\usr\keylayout\Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl
adb reboot
Make sure you unplug the USB cable before testing. I think while it is plugged into USB keyguard is disabled.

I appreciate it man, but I haven't rooted the xoom yet..
I want to wait a bit, and learn it better before I do.
Even when I got my evo last june, I waited a few weeks b4 rooting to learn it beter.
thank you for the file!
This has been discussed many times on this forum.
Long story short, I agree with you, especially since I leave the xoom on a table during a meeting. My solution...I downloaded Widgetsoid2.x. Among other widgets, I have a no turn-off widget on my main page. walking into a meeting, i hit it, forcing the xoom to stay on. obviously kills the battery, but i still get two full days.
not pretty, but it works.

I personally don't like the power button placement myself. It's all personal preference. But that's the benefit of getting and Android platform right? If something doesn't quite fit our preference we can personalize it. I think that's all the OP is asking for.

Posted the how-to in the dev section for Moto/Apple/Generic Bluetooth keyboards for those interested.
What is that you are doing that it is going to sleep? The easiest thing would be not to let it sleep so quick. Set the timeout to 15 minutes or something.
I guess I am still treating this like my EVO, which, doesnt get the best battery life if you leave it on too long..this thing gets awesum battery life, so I think I wll start leaving the screen on longer, until someone comes up with software that will wake it up easily..

Loving the ICS release except for one thing.....
I toggle silent/vibrate on and off quite a lot. When I do this, using the long-press power-button menu, some wonderful person has decided that I am so clueless, I need a confirmation dialogue box.
"Warning! Silent mode will be enabled OK/Cancel"
Gasp! Really!?!?! I had no idea that would happen when I purposely held down the power button and then with delicate intent selected the desired silent-mode function.
Just. Wow. It's supposed to be a shortcut, and Samsung just ruined it. Of course, I flashed completely stock without root, so I'm probably stuck with this until somebody figures out how to root this stock ICS release. (Maybe they have already, I'll do a search).
It's a small complaint to most people, but I toggle silent on and off many times a day. This is a huge annoyance. I'll see if there are any lockscreen toggles I can get - actually, EVERY single android release or skin should have silent/vibrate toggle on the lock screen, as it was in the earlier android releases. Motorola seems to be the only one who realises this. Sheesh....
Generally good, am upset by the lack of 160 dpi/tablet conform, just be aware if you're going for lower dpi's you'll face fc's

Samsung forgot the Exynos devs first... the lack of interest and development is because of Samsung's actions in the past.
I just "upgraded" from an S3 to an S5 (both on Verizon). If I let the screen go off on its own, wake up takes multiple seconds. This lag is ridiculous. I'm pretty underwhelmed after this "upgrade"...may return and wait to see what else comes out in the next few months.

I just thought it was funny how such a first world problem this is... LOL
But hey, if I paid this much money, it should do what it's supposed to. Hope y'alls lag go away.
Like they say," bad internet (or in this case phone) does not make a person rage, lag does."
This is even worse than I thought (I've only had the phone for a week). There are times when waking up takes 10+ seconds and requires hitting the home button 3 or 4 times. Phone is stock Verizon (no root or custom ROM), SD card, Galaxy launcher (instead of TouchWiz).
I think i read around saying that was only an issue on the exynos devices where the SD card messes with the phone's performance?
Personally with my snapdragon 900I with a 32gb sandisk class 10, i havent been experiencing any performance slow downs.

No issues here with a Class 10 16GB sd card - this is a remnant when I had a S3.
Then moved on to Nexus.
Edit: Exynos, G900H
I just got my s5 yesterday and everything was going smoothly, and quick. Today I noticed the lag on wake. I noticed since I set up the smart remote that it placed controls on the lock screen. Through the smart remote settings I removed the lock screen controls and the phone is waking up again with no lag.

Startup atrocity.

I'd like to vent that after owning this phone for however many months I have, the startup time is aging me. Is it just my phone in particular or do all Nexus 6's take years to turn on? Not having a reboot option on stock is a tad bit annoying too. Just saying.
It's pretty slow for me as well even with a reboot option. I heard it is due to the encryption. If I am wrong please correct me.

if you unencrypt, it boots much faster. also, on m, my encrypted n6 takes about 55 seconds to boot. a reboot option.. if you have root, you have many options. first one is entering reboot, or reboot recovery, or reboot bootloader into a terminal emulator. plus there are many widgets and apps that you can use.

Franco's Simple Reboot app is also a possibility: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=simple.reboot.com
And as of v4p10 it actually does a safe shutdown (didn't before).
The Secure Settings app does a proper and safe shutdown too, and also has widgets.

Mine is also LMY47Z with rooted and un-encrypted took 48 seconds to boot from off to lockscreen. Seems faster than yours but don't know why.
I'd that's the biggest gripe about the phone I'd say it's a pretty good fit for you...
Is this thread for real? Seriously?
As with above. How often are you rebooting your phone that it's become an 'atrocity'?

It's a long boot time is it not? I might boot once every few days to once a week. Whats the difference? I find it annoying and was *****ing about it. "Atrocity" was me being humorous, relax a little.

The number of apps and/or app sizes would be the greatest difference in boot times, I'd say.

Boots up faster than almost any phone I've owned. Exception being my moto x 2013 dev. It booted insanely fast. I'm not encrypted tho so that may be why it only takes maybe 30sec to lock screed. Try going to an early jb device or if you want to be in pure hell a gb device and wait a minute or 2 to reboot.
