I have seen far too many reports of this where people don't know how to fix this themselves. Just like any computer you need to know how to do a hard reboot or shut it down completely without ui input. Just like most computers it is very simple.
If your KF freezes our won't wake, do this: reboot it. Hold the power button down for 20-30 seconds, wait about 2 seconds, then push the power button once to turn it back on.
I hope this helps some folks as this procedure really needs to be common knowledge among anyone doing any kind of customization to their device.

After I installed the ICS custom ROMs, I found that my Kindle Fire cannot shutdown properly. When I press the power button and click shut down, all the icons are disappeared like a computer shut down situation, but I can see that the screen backlight is still on. Even I pressed the power button again it is still has backlight (this should prove that it cannot shut down and still working)
I'm using TWRP and have tried most ICS roms released recently with kernel 3.0. I have wipe factory reset, cache and dalvik cache before install new rom.
Anyone has encounter this problem and can solve it? Is my TWRP has problem?Thanks for help.
If you'd bothered to read even a little bit you'd realize this is a known problem with 3.0. If you want to shut it down hold the button for 10 seconds or until the screen turns off.

Its hard to believe that people somehow manage to miss the huge font size... 60? red letters stating these things in hash's threads.
even still, i've seen alot of threads saying 10 seconds isnt always enough, and to be 100% sure hold for 20 seconds.
I've noticed it myself, every now and then if i only hold for 10 seconds, and dont pay attention, i end up later having to hold it for 20 more seconds to shut all the way off and reboot hopefully they sort it out soon.
So i know people are saying these new roms can cause RR. Ive tried multiple roms, and these "rr"s are way to frequent to be called Random Reboots. I mean they happen back to back, within seconds/minutes. They also only happen when i press my power button, which is starting to make me think that my power button is getting stuck or jammed which is causing it to reboot so many time and almost all the time. Like i can press the power button to unlock or lock the phone and bam it reboots my phone. I hold the power button down to start it back up and it does a RR once again. Is it my phone just being messed up or is this really random reboots? Thanks in advance.

RR the vast majority of the time, happen on JB ROMS. But,the way you describe them is not how they happen. Happening back to back sounds more like a faulty power button. Try seeing if it has dirt. If not, time for a warranty exchange, issuance claim. or a power button repair. Mobiletech offers that service.
Its weird cause my phone will be good for a whole week straight, and bam for a couple days straight **** is just acting up. Like these past few days, the reboots is unrealistic. I barely get to use the phone i feel like. It turns off and vibrates until i hold the power button to turn it back on, and sometime when it says samsung and then goes to the next boot animation, it will do a whole spazzim and just vibrate again until i hold the power button again. I dont understand.

Your problem sounds like a hardware problem.
Is there a way to make my tablet wake up from screen off only by holding the power button for 1 second instead of a momentary press? Or failing that, requiring a two button combo to wake, like power and volume down?
I keep my tablet in my bag, and it keeps turning on when the power button gets jostled. I *hate* cases, so that is not an option.
If there isn't an easy way to solve my problem, I have a question for the devs: Would the solution to this be in the kernel or would there be a way to do this from user-space?
I write software for a living, including kernel work on embedded devices. I just haven't gotten my Android dev on yet. Any starting point would be appreciated; I've got Google-Fu, but having the terminology and or direction of inquiry correct would save me a lot of time.
Thanks!

Everytime im done with my Ouya, I go to the main screen press Y and choose "turn off ouya". I know that the ouya shuts down because the input on my tv goes blank and says that no source have been found. Now when I try to turn on my ouya,lets say about 1.5 hours later my ouya is already turned on and is asking me to shut down.
Why is this happening to me? Am I not shutting down correctly?why does the ouya turn itself on?

Wish I could answer, but at least I'm glad to know I'm not the only one running into this issue. I'll do the exact same thing to shut down, and notice my TV's input still shows active, I'll switch back, and it's asking to shut down Ouya / Controller / Cancel. I'll do the shutdown again, and then wait for it to show No Signal on my monitor. I hope this will be also be addressed by a future update...
When you shut off with the menu options ouya is actually going to a low power sleep mode instead of turning off - similar to a android tablet or phone when you just push the power button or close a case cover, the next time you push it it is an instant on instead of a boot process.
Apparently it failing to stay asleep has something to do with the HDMI interface, though I can't technically confirm or deny this I do know it's entirely possible.
The only way I've found to actually shut it off is to either hold the power button for a few seconds until it shuts off, or pull the power plug (not recommended.)
Or root, install QuickReboot and shutdown with it...

I am facing the same issue. I did changed the HDMI cable with some other one. this is weird:cyclops:

This actually works. Thank you.
Hdmi activity wakes up OUYA, many TV's scan inputs so they don't list them in "source" menu and this turns OUYA back on. A poorly thought out feature.
Rather than doing a hard shut down, you can do a full shut down by holding the power button for a full second or two. You will then get an on screen prompt to confirm shut down, this will do a full shut down not just put it to sleep like it does when you use the controller to initiate it. Constantly killing power to a running system will probably start corrupting files at some point.
There is also some sort of sleep or screen or keep awake option in advanced settings that is supposed to disable the hdmi wake up.

How long do you generally have to press the power button when powering on the N7 (not rooted, running 4.4.2) ? Sometimes it will power up if I press it a few seconds, release, and then wait for the Google logo to appear, but i often find that nothing happens (don't get a the Google logo to come on after waiting ) unless I keep pressing the power button in for almost 30 seconds until the logo appears and then release it. Once it powers up it seems to run just fine.
Is this a problem? Is there a fix? I've cleared the cache but that doesn't seem to make much difference. Also, no problems if I just hold the power button until it shuts itself off (not using the power off prompt) and keep holding it a few seconds after it powers down to automatically reboot (I read this tip here and assume it is OK to do?). This problem just seems to appear when I power up after shutting it down for a day or two.
Also, I've read suggestions in other threads, not about this issue, that talk about starting up in Safe Mode. How is this done and why would i do it?
You said N7 did you mean N5? N5 vibrates after a couple seconds for me that's when I let go.
