Another stupid idea/option, espevially when the pwr button is exactly where a right handed person has their thumb when holding the phone.
Or a setting that lets me change the reboot delay time to 40 seconds or more
Since the battery is non-removable, this is the only way to reset the phone if it locks up without waiting for the battery to run dry.
Thank god for that if the phone freezes or anything. It's possible for a good reason.

Not sure this is a known issue or just me. But often if I power down the phone will not power back on unless I take the battery out for like a min, then put it back in. I've noticed this running both stock and custom roms.
I've noticed this too, but it never requires a battery pull. I will power down my phone and try to power it on but it does nothing. I have to wait a minute or so to power on. Unrooted. Who knows
When it does this, hold the volume up for 30 seconds, let go, then press the power button and release. Works every time for me... but I haven't had this problem lately *knock on wood*

Interesting, will give it a shot.
That happens to mine quite a bit too, but if i let it sit for about 30 seconds or so it will reboot. I'm talking about when i shut the phone off then immediately try to reboot it, so i think it boils down to the phone completely shutting down for a little bit after the screen turns off. Maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying here, but i don't think it's just your phone.

MY galaxy s2 has problems with powering off every now and then. it was really bad at one point where all it was doing is turning on and rebooting right after. i had a custom rom for months and never had problems until yesterday. i couldnt go on recovery mode because it would always restart every five seconds. Now it seems to less frequent because i realized that it always reboots when i touch the power button once. Sometimes when i push the power button to take it off sleep mode, the power options pops up (recovery, restart, power off etc) so thats when i thought the power button might be the problem
Any guesses on what could be the problem?? If its software problems or power button issue.
P.S. reset my phone, re rooted it, and put a new rom darkside. It literally stays on until i push the power button. then it restarts five seconds later.
the power buttons seems to stick....I have the same problem, the phone is acting as if the power button is being pressed without being let go. When the power button is held indefinitely it just keeps rebooting over and over again. It occurs sporadically, but once it sticks..it sticks. I seem to be able to unstick it by slapping it against my hand but eventually it turns off. Its definitely a hardware issue and I will open up the phone right now to investigate. Ill write if I find anything useful.

Now a days, i am facing a problem. It shut down in my pocket weirdly whenever my tummy presses its power button for more than 30. Actually i have a small car so it happens usually . Even Power-On doesn't work. It becomes brick for 6 Hour +. It neither charge nor turn on.
I suppose it puts my handset on soft reset.
However, i manages to turn it on after several attempts by pressing power button for 2 min and long. I am afraid this practice would damage its hardware and software. :'(
Is there any way to disable "Very Long Press Of Power Button".

I´ll bump this one. Annoyed by reboots in pants pocket.
Hi all
wondering if someone might be able to give me hand
my phone is rooted and am running CM10 stable and was working fine for about 3 months.
this morning i went to use the calculator and then the phone rebooted, and will not come back up.
I keeps viberating every coupel fo seconds. Tried to hold down power button but nothing happens. yanked battery and and reboot and i see the samsung slapscreen then it goes back to viberating
I tried to yank the battery, while holding down the power volume up/down to get into recovery but no luck. tried to yank battery and hold down volumne up/ down trying to get into download mode but also no luck
wondering if there might something i can try to get my phone back working
take care
i tried to take the phone apart to see if the power button was stuck but still now luck
Sounds like a power button issue. Its not that it gets stuck physically, the power switch gets messed up and acts as if its being held down. You can replace the switch or try a ghetto fix. I had to remove the power button from the case from my brothers phone. I took it out then plugged the hole with it by taping it on from the outside.
There are a few ROMs out there that allow you to use alternate buttons to turn off the phone and use volume keys to wake it up. So you will only need the power button to turn on the phone when its off completely. For my brothers phone I use a toothpick since I removed the power button.
It is just beginning to mess up on my phone bit it wasn't a severe enough case for me to remove the power button.
I would recommend trying to fidget with the button a bit, trying to see if you can get it out of the power loop (endless vibrating). What I do is pull the battery and press the button a few times. I even flick that corner of the phone a few times. Then I put the batter back in and see if it stopped cycling. If not I try to press the button a few more times and or give it a flick or two with the battery in. There seems to be no direct method that works but it eventually stabalizes.
If it does stabalize, I'd recommend testing to see how sensitive it is. If you can't put it in your pocket or even the slightest movement makes it cycle. I'd say you need to remove the power button or have the power switch replaced. If it stabilizes I would just get a ROM with the options I mentioned and stop touching the power button.
What basically happens is the first time i was doing something and i guess my phone decides to randomly bring up the boot menu with, screenshot shot, airplane mode, power off, reboot, etc, so i click that to go away and continue what i was doing and it just reboots on me i don't even have to click the lock button anymore and it does that and this all happen randomly out of nowhere can anyone help me
Had the same issue when used old Nokia. It was related to physical button which "pressed" on itself after my phone was under rain. I disassembled the phone and let it dry, that helped.
Happened to me last month.
Try to gently but forcibly flick or hit the power button.
It would appear as though as time goes by, our phones power button keeps getting sticky, and decides to get stuck.
I hit my phone off my desk a couple of times onto the power button, and It worked.
