How do I fully shutdown or reboot this phone (without root)? The shutdown seems like what HTC had as a quickboot (the phone saves it state in RAM) and doesn't really power down completely. I am having an issue where I would like to see if this would fix it. And there has to be a better way than pulling the battery while running. Thanks in advance!

Holding the power button and pressing power off is a full shutdown. It doesn't save the state in RAM. To boot fast it stores the cache in the internal flash memory and it desn't take any power to do so. Not seeing the issue here.
As for reboot.... there isn't an option as a restart without shutdown runs a risk of data corruption, even if it is a small chance if jorunaling is enabled, which I am sure it is.

I don't think you are correct: https://twitter.com/#!/GalaxySsupport/status/119048883870511104
There is no point in pulling the battery if state is saved non-volatile memory.
Holding down the power button and releasing when the screen turns off results in a reboot. I do not know if this is a "quickboot" or not.

Sprint also told me they had LTE... take what you get from a "support" person /w a grain of salt. The only point of pulling the battery is if your phone froze up. "Power Off" is a full shutdown. The only further shutdown you can get is going into CWM and wiping cache.

On HTC the setting to shut down is also named power off, however, in the development settings menu, you can set the option to have 'Quick boot' (or some name like that) where it's akin to computer standby. But ok, I think my question is answered either way

Never shuts down. I always have to take battery out. It just stays on the 'shutting down...' menu with the blured background.
How do I fix it?
This is a stock, unbranded desire from 3UK.

I used to have this problem, it did eventually shut down after about 10 minutes though.
I gave up trying to fix it and now it no longer does it.
I used to have the same problem but it seames to have dissaprared. I can't say I have a solution but you might want to try this:
- power of your phone (take out battery if needed)
- power on the phone while holding the menu key; this will make your phone enter safe mode i.e. no third party apps will be available, just the system ones
- let it finish the whole startup sequence and then turn of your phone and restart normally again
Please report back if this solves the problem.
its usually linked to task managers,
Used to have it all the time, but since i dont use any task managers, everything is fine
Good luck

I've noticed I get this problem too sometimes. I think it has a lot to do with android trying to shut down all the runing processes. Do you have a non HTC or Google live wallpaper (especially a graphic intensive one) ? do you get a lot of e-mails/tweets/texts tun up while you are shutting down, do you plug your phone in to charge as you are shutting down. All these things leave the system with lots to do and I think that if the efect is the same as if you were trying to do too many things on an underpowered windows PC, there is a logjam of things all wanting to happen at the same time. This will eventually clear, but it take a while as noted above.
I found the solution on mine after a month of taking out the battery which is not good for the phone.so to make it shut down you have to turn off the WIFI before turning the phone off.i notice no more problem..so try that and let me know if it worked.
I got this problem as well and it WAS annoying (must took out battery!).
Here is THE solution:
Before shutting down:
- Turn OFF WiFi
- Go to settings -> SD-Card -> click UNMOUNT ...
Reboot.
That's it
In addition, I also download this FREE "SDRescan" app:
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.bero.sdrescan/
And did rescan BEFORE UNMOUNT
The time to boot is now shorten to few seconds max 1 minute or so.
This depending how many apps do you have installed!
I hate it when people ask questions, get suggestions on how to solve their problems but then NEVER give feedback.
its went away now and shut downs instantly, i just pressed shut down and went to sleep for the night, since then its fine.
Ok, so I rooted the phone yesterday, and installed a custom boot animation, but that's all I have done. For some reason, Every time I reboot the phone, My battery stats reset, so when i turn the phone off, then back on, my battery usage says "unplugged for 32 seconds" or something similar to that. Any idea why it's reading that I just unplugged the phone???
Also, I have juice defender installed, and all of a sudden it is reading ridiculously high numbers, like it's increased my battery x9.74. It never usually reads higher than x1.74 or so. I don't know whats going on. Any ideas?

It will say that regardless whether you unplugged the phone from the charger or if you reboot the phone. It is clearing your battery "statistics" because you shut off the phone...

ah yeah, but it's not that big of a deal.
It's on a different level than the battery stats that you wipe in Recovery, but it can be a bit of a pain if you're closely looking at your battery level and you can't know for sure how long since you actually charged it.
I got the 4.2.2 sense 5 update on my htc one x . I'm just noticing one strange thing... As I switched off my phone with power save on + fastboot on, power saver on + fast boot off, power saver off + fast boot on(this took time to shut down like proper shut down), both power save and fast boot off, all the possible way, but when I go to power setting in all cases, I see that in "history" that time is not starting again, its already high like 1 hr some minutes going more n more still, like the phone was never switched off properly!
I know earlier in 4.1.1 if power save weather off or on, but in fast boot on the phone is not properly shut down... but if fast boot is off then the history refreshes which use to tell us that the phone was properly shut down. But in above case nothing is working!!
Is it a big problem of battery drain or anything, Any accurate clue please ?
I have not done factory reset, but have done clear cache partition ... still nothing....
Should I factory reset then ?
hold the power button for 5 sec...it should reset the phone

You mean the soft reset?! That makes phone restart?! If yes then that's also not working

try the batt test frm the test menu(*#*#3424#*#*)...
it's fine now, I did a factory reset and it did reset the history time (my battery was low that time) . After that when I switched off my phone and powered it back on (with power save on and fast boot off) still the history time was picking up from where it stopped . So I kept my phone on charging, didn't even do the wipe cache partition or anything . And as I woke up today, I switched off and turned on again and history got refreshed and even restarted in same settings and again history got refreshed!! Yuppie its all perfect now and after factory reset its still all super smooth!
Just battery was draining little fast, then I noticed there's a hidden facebook update, after that update the battery drain is happening slower like really normal, still maybe if required a patch might do better .
Thank you all still!
Battery stats reset when the phone is charged to 95% I believe

you are absolutely right, its something like that for sure.... as now when my battery was around 55% and I did restart in power save on and fast boot off,,,, the history time did not refreshed... so I guess its nothing to worry about and its little less than normal drain for me and gets very normal drain after 70% ! its I think htc made Something new to make things ready for us fast, which is making battery drain little faster on hox being 1800 mah, but would not be impacting much on htc one m7 I believe .
Once or twice a week when I press the power button, the device doesn't turn on. I then have to hold the power button for several seconds to reboot it. I'm not sure where I read it, but somebody mentioned that it could be related to the auto brightness setting. Unfortunately setting the brightness to a fixed level did not solve this issue. Any other suggestions?
I'm on stock 4.3 (JSS15R)
I'm not trying to be a prick here, this question is just me not knowing all the facts.
When you power the device back up, how much battery does it have left? Is there an app that's draining your battery in the background?
If it's not the battery running out, have you tried a factory reset?

With 'turn on' I mean getting it out of standby mode. I don't power off the device completely.
The battery percentage is not the problem. It sometimes happens with almost full battery. There doesn't seem to be a draining application.
I haven't tried a factory reset yet. I want to try that if nothing else helps.

Hmm. To be honest, I'm not sure what it could be. Barring a hardware issue, I would lean towards trying a factory reset.
I am stuck at SDCARD MODE, I was about to play Jewels and it reboot to sdcard mode that says "up key= normal boot" and "down key= download mode" but nothing happens when I press the button.
Can someone help me please. I have a ST800 10.5.

The problem is that at the tablet the battery lost a charge and because of it there was a failure in its work and it got to sdcard mode. Now the battery has no enough charge and therefore electronics of the tablet doesn't work correctly - not possibly to charge the battery and it isn't possible to turn on the tablet. The correct solution - to provide a battery charge above of minimum admissible level. But as electronics of the tablet doesn't work correctly, also the battery charge isn't possible. For a solution, it is necessary to disassemble the tablet, to switch-off the battery, to connect the charger and when on the screen to appear drawing of the battery then to connect the battery. After that the battery will accept a charge well and you will be able then to turn on the tablet after the battery is charged.
Here is the original post with solution for the same Tab, but with a screen 8.4 (Russian language):
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=581689&view=findpost&p=36891478
I read in another forum about reset the battery, I waited the battery to drain empty and connected the charger and pressed power + Vol.Up + Vol.Up and it came alive again!
Anyways, I thank you for your help!

Hi. Im Scared of sdcard Mode. Do i need to let the battery drain at all, then connect tablet with charger and then power+vol.up+home?
What will happen?
Will it boot to system, to recovery or it will charge like normal and then boot like normal?
Please answer me

Let the battery completely drain then plug in charger wait for around 5mins then it should boot.
Porcelana my t900 got stuck in sdcard mode today. I found this thread, followed your directions and it worked like a charm.
I have no idea what sdcard mode is.
Thanks

It was probably unnecessary to disassemble the tablet.
Simply letting the battery discharge until it turns off usually suffices.
this has happened to my tablet 4 or 5 times now. it does work but if I leave my tablet for a little while it does it again and again. do I need a new battery? I can't figure out how to open it either. I don't want to break it.

4/5 times? I think you should refresh your tablet and flash the stock firmware.
It's happened to me just the once.
