Coming from an EVO 4G, when long pressing the power button I had the choice of Power Off and restart. Depending on if quick boot was enabled, the power button would either power off completely or go do the quick boot sleep mode. How is this phone setup because there is no option to reboot. Does this phone do quick boot or is it really that fast to boot? If I turn the phone off does it really turn off or just go into the quick boot sleep mode.
Thanks
I think it actually shuts down. My start-up time is the same when I pull the battery then turn it on or turning it off then on.
It boots up really fast so there is no need for fastboot.
So is there a way to reboot/restart the phone without turning it off/on? LOL this phone is fast!
quick boot in the market.

Hold the power button like you are bringing up the power off menu. Keep holding it without selecting power off. When the screen goes off let go. The phone will reboot. You can hold v down while you do that to get into download mode. Same worth v up for recovery. Not really "quick" but it works.

so i notice HTC one x battery is not user replace-able. How do you force the phone to shut down in case the phone is freezing or whatever reason?
hold the power button for about 10 sec simulates a battery pull

I think you have to hold down VOL+, VOL- and POWER together to do that. Just tried it on my phone and it shut the phone down. Not sure if it works in situations where the phone is frozen though.
What Daan said, hold the power button until it shuts down (max 10sec)
thx, i haven't got my one x yet but this should be useful when my one x arrived.
with the power button (hold for 10sec) you can only force a restart on the hox!
but how can you make a shutdown only with hardware buttons?
for example: the display cracked and you want to power down your phone?
as far as i know, no chance to shut it down!

The closest you get is 'holding power + volume down' for around ten seconds. The system will reboot into the Booloader, where you can select power down.
fastboot oem powerdown (if you are interested)
note: you cant turn off the one X ,instead it runs the recovery in a low-power-hidden mode.

Just uncheck the fast boot option in settings and it will completely shut down, to force it just press power button + vol down

Fast boot mode already off, i thought my phone was off until I tried the adb commands on my "turned off" device. (it takes around 10 seconds to start hidden recovery mode)
Shutdown only with Hardwarebuttons. NO CHANCE !
good comments, but nobody had a really good answer for my question from post #6....
how do you shutdown the HOX, if you have no chance to access the touchscreen or see anything on the lcd?
the thing is, i got that problem, that i had an cracked display.
when i disassembled it to put in the new display, the HOX started up, because i accidentally pushed the power button...
how can i now shut it down, if it´s disassembled?
i tried, but with hardwarebuttons only, you have NO shutdown function at all....

Disconnecting the battery after removing the "VOID" screw.

Its Workin Thanks buddy i've tested it with Samsung A3 runnning Android 4.4.4 :good:
Took my phone out of my jacket pocket earlier since I thought I could hear a weird buzzing noise every ~8seconds. Looked at my phone and can see it's stuck in a boot loop. I can't hold the power button to turn it off it gets as far as the HTC screen and then goes black. I've tried to get into recovery mode (just holding down the volume - button). It does work to get in there but I only have ~8 seconds before it goes black and reboots again, doesn't seem to be able to pic any of the different options in there though (with - or +)
This phone is stock O2 (EIRE) never been touched not even rooted. Anyone have seen these issues with HTC One X? :crying:
Is there any recommendations that I can do? (key combo) Hoping that when the battery dies it'll go away... doesn't feel to stable though!
I have an idea ...... turn it in for warranty right away
anything to try first?
Hi,
Try this:
Hold power button together with volume down simultaneously till the phone reboots. Still holding both buttons you should go to service menu. Then choose bootloader with using volume key down/up and when the bootloader is selected press once power button. You should go to bootloader menu, from which you select power off and press power menu.
Your phone should be power off.
Then try to press again power and volume down buttons till you gonna gain in service menu. From there you should find and select factory reset and press power button once.
Your phone should be resented and then just reboot.
If everything is correct your phone will be with everything reserved and also your data and settings will be gone, but at least will work. Then you should set again your settings and preferences.
Hope this could help to get your mobile working again.

Thanks dude, that almost worked... got a bit further after factory reset... went to the O2 splash logo and then back to beginning... actually tried it again before hitting reply, wanted to make sure that I actually had time to hit the factory reset before the phone rebooted (8seconds, less actually seems to be 2-3 seconds then a bit longer after...)
I've got a feeling the phone is/has overheated and resetting itself. I think it's rubbish you can't take the battery our of these!
Finally stopped rebooting, battery must be knackered. Will leave it for a while and then start a charge, think it's going into an O2 outlet Monday!
As soon as I started charging the phone booted up and back to loop...
Sorry mate ...like i said, warranty case
my LGOG has been having weird battery stats and would always go down fast then turn off randomly but when i restarted (after it turned off) the phone it would turn on. The problem is that it wont just turn on with the power button. It had to be the volume button and power button. I just now tried to recalibrate the battery since i am not rotted so i drained the battery then kept turning it on (power+volume) till it drained. Now all i get when i turn it on is the recovery window which the select button (power) wont due anything so i have to just do a restart and itll go right back into it. the phone is even charging right now.... help pleeasseee
EDIT: I left it on all last night on the charger and the recovery screen now it wont turn on at all or even charge......
EDIT: I did a battery pull now itll only go into a black screen with blue text saying recovery. And the power button wont select anything. So i just do a hard restart and itll just bot back into the same menu..help!
EDIT: FIXED IT! I had to use the menu button to select...im so stupid... im deleting this thread if this doesnt help anyone
Ask a moderator to close it. I might.

Got a problem. My S3 won't boot up. I'm running AOKP, not sure which version.
When I pull the battery and put it back in, the Samsung logo flashes once, like it's trying to boot, without me ever touching the power button, then it goes black. I went to the cell phone store and tried with another battery. Same result.
I've been having problems with the power button sticking internally recently. No evidence of sticking from the outside, but the power menu randomly appears, and the phone would randomly shut off. I don't have a lock on my phone, so I overused the power button a lot.
Is it supposed to turn on like that after you pop in a fully working battery, or does that mean the power button is being held in place? Could someone confirm what happens if the power button on the S3 is held down continuously after you turn it on?
Also might be a software or flash problem from too many random reboots.
Hopefully the motherboard is not toast.
It's likely that you are just having a stuck power button. Normally if you just hold it down, first the power menu will appear and if you continue to hold it down, the phone will go black and try to restart.

How can I fix this?
My LG Optimus G is stuck on the Android System Recovery screen. I can move up and down with the volume bar but I can select anything because you need to use the soft menu button and my screen is cracked there. Is there anyway to get around this? I've tried holding power and volume down to reset it but it just restarts and goes back to the recovery screen.

The power button should be the select. Press up or down on the volume to navigate and press power when you are where you want it to be.
Is the recovery stock or CWM? The power button should work either way for the select. Hope this helps.
also if you are just trying to restart, try holding down only power for about 20-30 seconds, it should do a hard shut down, then when you press power to turn on again it should go to the system.

I'm not sure if it's stock, it says Android Recovery System e3. It says to hit enter to choose an option but hitting the power button wouldn't select anything. I held down the power down and it shut off and isn't turning back on.
my lg optimus g turned off and now it wont come on or hold a charge
Well where do I start, I love this phone and I have not had a single issue with it until yesterday, took my phone off the charger in the am walked out the door , started my car went to make a phone call and my phone was off , tried to turn it on and to no avail, so i took the battery out of the phone (mind you this was quite an experience taking the back cover off) took care of that unhooked the battery let it sit for 5 minutes and it came back on like a charm , well as the day progressed my battery eventually died , so im thinking no biggie right? wrong tried to turn my phone on and nothing at all , just a solid red light which eventually cuts off but thats only when you put it on a charger and does nothing no blinking lights no power nothing. So ive been online following a bunch of different steps and the only thing i could do was put the phone into download mode when connected to a cpu but the cpu doesnt seem to see the device nor does it have power , im trying to fix this myself if possible, im really not trying to pay for a repalcement phone or wait 14 days to get another one so ill try as hard as i can here first and see if i can get some help.. PLEASE!!!! HELP!!!

Did the battery die? What happens when it is plugged in and you hold down the power? (to attempt to turn back on)
