Surprisingly, not many people know this. It certainly saves some wear and tear on your battery cover. I didn't know it for a good few months of owning my device. I hope a ton of people read this!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Apparently when I applied a bit of Brain then I discovered that u don't need to switch your phone off compeltely for going into recovery mode.

Just try this- press and hold power button for 5 secs or so and then press volume up and home button. Keep all of them pressed and you will enter into recovery . It isn't such a gr8 find, its the same as what u do when u turn your phone off and go to recovery but its more easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
Yep, I've been doing that for awhile now. Both are extremely helpful. Everyone should know about this! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
Holding down the power button for a long time doesn't always work.

Useless thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Really? Or are your little fingers are too weak to press the power button for even 10 secs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I beg to differ. Rebooting to fix issues doesn't work all the time either, is it useless to suggest that too?

I've had my galaxy s since launch, and it has never failed to reboot by holding the power button. So for whatever special cases where it may not work, there are literally hundreds that will. This fact alone makes this thread anything but useless. Besides, the battery cover is not very durable, anything that helps to avoid removing it is good, even if just occasionally.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hasanalikhattak:
it is a life saver
[Galaxy S I9000 General] escalebur:
Power + Home works great ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Does the home button actually make a difference or is it equal to holding the power button while quoting Shakespeare?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
turn off the Tapatalk and then try it using your GT-i9000 - will be faster than quoting LOL

as far as I may look, no one suggested that you have too small hands to pull out the cover and remove battery... yet:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Well for those who have a hard cover on the back of their phone, power button option is better, Battery pull option is always their.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
CORRECTION. Proper post should look like: as far as I may look, no one suggested that you have too small hands to pull out the hard cover, then back cover and remove battery... yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
You are impossible, just keep living in your own virtual world where you are the king of the world and every stupid thought from your stinking brain is awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Although your post started to express kind advice that someone have too small fingers, I just replied in your own style, what obviously you cannot accept.

But, I never would express such abusive meaning, in example stating that you are the goats keeper who presents symptoms typical to vC-J or BSE, if we're speaking about sickness of brain. Neither I'd call you stupid, even if I'd think that it would be true.

This is just the way how you are presenting the personal culture resulting from the place you live in, family and tradition. Thanks for that, I'm always amazing when I can observe such geocultural differences.

Enough of off topic.

Reasons why you NEED to remove the battery, first in a row:

Click - simply doesn't work with pressing button, as what do you need to do is NOT to turn on the phone, as it should be turned on by USB connection: first post, Introduction, section: After performing this mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
So you found one case where you might have to pull the battery, good for you. But what's your point? Regular Joe who wants to restart his stuck phone has no use whatsoever of going into überhack area 51 mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Have you read the thread title?

So do it again. And then - please point me to phrase in title which states the reason of pulling the battery out? Same, sorry but I cannot see the purpose of rebooting via pushing power button in first post as well, so it would be appreciated if you can use a citation from post #1, showing it.

Obviously no one needs to pull battery for ordinary reboot, no one will do it via long press of power button neither, as it is possible by use of Reboot+ from market, or by flashing extended menu from $omator's thread.

The battery removal is needed in most cases to reanimate the semi-bricked phones to go to the download mode in some cases, to break the bootloop or in the application shown above.

Area 51 is setting the thread in style of: SGS for morons discovering the biggest secret of the phone, hidden deeply form its users on.... page 129 of SGS official manual: Samsung manuals for update, choose User Manual(GINGERBREAD Ver. 15 Apr, 2011 2.27 ENGLISH(Europe)

I only hope that next thread by the op will not originate from page 130 of this manual, what to do if outgoing calls are not connected, and advice will not be the first sentence: "Ensure that you presseed Dial key":rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Leave it.......don't ask him or tell him anything cause in all cases he will be correct, he has the answer for everything and as I said before he is...............but that doesnt matter for obvious reasons. and now I believe he is too superior for us to argue with.

He is The most superior -spamtrash.

And I am pretty sure that he has an answer for all this what I just wrote.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Also if ur phone is stuck and doing nothing u can still go into download mode. Power button+volume down+ home button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Good for you. But what scares me - you are unable to read manual for your phone, as this "hidden trick" is described on 129 page of it... so sad :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Regardless, i'm glad i opened this thread, didn't know and will surely save me a few cover openings. Couldn't care less about what others say on this matter, this has been helpful to me. And if it helped at least 1 person, it was worth it.

Cheers for the tip mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Man, it IS in the MANUAL of the phone. Are you proud that you couldn't read it with understanding, as you had to discover it by yourself and present as a "trick" on XDA?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] investmenttechnology:
who reads a phone manual?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
That is a good question ... I thought : those who can understand it?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
People who are afraid of tech tend to read manuals, those who aren't generally ignore them.

And on your previous post (I wish they'd add multi quoting to tapatalk), I've literally had to reboot my phone hundreds of times because it has become unresponsive and nothing else has worked. In this case there is no way to run software or use extended menu. That's where this is useful, I don't have to remove the case and pull the battery if I play with overclocking etc and the phone hangs.

If you can't understand how this is useful, go back to reading the manual, then call Samsung and ask them why they put all that useless **** in it.

This is useful for a lot of people, I don't really give a damn if you don't see how. If you don't find it useful, move on to the next thread. What the hell are you doing here? Even should you be right the only risk with this stuff is spending 10 seconds with nothing happening.

If you read everything as literally as you seem to read this, don't read forums. Stick to talking to people who know you (like your mom). You're just wasting your own and everyone else's time with pointless arguments.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
+1, he has hours of time reading and learning every page of the manual and also remembering the page no.s but he doesn't have 10 secs to hold the power button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scull2011:
Glad I could help some of you .

Dont worry about the trolls all there doing is bumping the thread up which lets more people notice this useful info.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Yup! Not reading manuals is actually something to be proud of from where i come from as we usually are quite able to figure stuff out!

Jokes aside, are you proud that you couldn't think of any other reason for people not reading a manual? Like having bought the phone from another person and not bringing one? I'm kind of able to figure a phone out without the need for a manual so i didn't really bother downloading. And if i needed to go online to know odd stuff about my phone i'd rather come to xda directly. Has relevant information more readily available. Case in point. :)

Oh, and bump :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Yes, you are 100% right: there are some people, who are buying stuff while they do not know what they bought. Same, those people are unable to find base thing related with phone, its manual, and to read it. Instead, sch persons are flaming here: OMG I figured out how to adjust the screen;'s brightness, woooow, mom, I'll be a hacker!!!!

@ the op: this useful info doesn't need to waste space here, and more: in case of troubles it's misleading.

But, as some wise guy said:

Never argue with a scull2011 and peoples like him. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

So, applying this, I wish you many useful threads here in the future, like how to disable WiFi, GPS and more, which for you will be amazing discovery.

You can also just hold down the 3 buttons for 10 seconds while your phone is on. This will reboot it into whichever mode you were pressing the buttons for—download or recovery.

are there any games that can run when the phone is in airplane mode. I was testing this at home and i see virtually EVERY game has to have data service or it wont even launch. See i am scheduled to go half way across the world in a week and i wanted ot have something on the plane that i could use to keep me entertained, so i tested it and i cant find ANY game that i can use. Any ideas?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolaf:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to fix my wife's desire HD to keep her from throwing it out of the house. Problem with it is that it generally always has had bad WiFi coverage none matter which radio and firmware I have been using. I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 6.1.3 with baseband 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M.

When I compare with my own Optimus 2X the signal from our WiFi router generally comes in at 30 DBM less than the 2X. Sitting right next to the router my phone gets -35, while the desire HD gets around -70. As I moved further away the desire HD loses connectivity much earlier. Also, the signal strength seems to fluctuate quite a bit.

I would appreciate it if anyone could share with me the experiences with different ROMs/radios, or other tips to get more stable WiFi coverage. I have of course tried different channels :-)

Cameras are always preferred features in Samsung Galaxy S family. Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket comes with an 8 mega pixels rear facing camera with auto focus and dual LED flash. Features such as Geo-tagging, touch focus, panorama, and face detection are also available to support the superior hardware. A front facing 2 MP camera is also available with this high end smart phone. While the 4.5” super AMOLED plus screen is capable of giving the best video display a phone can give, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is complete with FM radio, a loud speaker, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Active noise cancellation with dedicated microphone and HDMI TV out are other important features of Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
