[Feature Request] Reboot option on power menu

iamphi — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 16:36:12 GMT

Can you please add or have an option to add 'Reboot' to the power menu (long press power button) ?

This enables me to easily reboot when my phone run to problems.

Some of these problems include the ambient sensor, the gyroscope, and the compass not working. So the screen would stay on when I bring the phone to my ear, giving me a chance to accidentally end my call. Compass app, Ingress, photo sphere, panorama apps not working etc..

These problems happen 'randomly' and being able to reboot quickly is a good enough work around for me.

Thank you.

Are you using a magnetic protective case?

You could press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds, that will turn off your phone or you can press the little red button inside the SIM cover.

You should repair your phone with PCC

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

I am using a TPU case. The problem happens with and without the case.

I don't like this because I have to push the power button again to turn it back on. I am looking for an easy and quick way to reboot.

I agree with you, it will be nice to have a restart option.
