Well, first of all I'm sorry for my English it is not the best but I hope you can understand me.
Well, I'm up to buy a Lumia 900, but I was checking it for 4 days (Saturday,Sunday, Monday & today), first 3 days it was all ok, but today the phone repently stopped working.
I was driving when my phone starterd ringing, I get it out of my pocket in order to answer, so I tried to slide it up then clic on answer, but when I tried to slide it up the touchscreen just stopped of working.
Since that, I've tried to go to the home but I can't because I need to slide up.
I think it's important to mention that all other buttons (camera, vol +, vol -, block) are still working, but the screen stays on my background without showing me the clock, and all stuff like that.
All I want to do is to reboot the phone, I've thinked on remove the battery of the phone, but the cellphone is one piece so i cant.
I was thinking to wait till baterry gets drained but ill will take a lot of time..
So.. any recommendation?
Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds - this will forcibly shut it down.

Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it
Hello,
Bad luck my powerbutton of my Desire Z left me alone on a week trip to Germany, it keeps pressed all the time.. I found this out by checking the bootloader, I couldn't use anything in it. also when I remove the battery and turn it back in it starts by itself. when Its loaded into the os(Gen.Y Sense 4.0) it makes a screenshot when I press the home button(normal sc button is POWER + home). Now I rather had the powerbutton not to function then keeping it pressed, I get the countdown to keep holding the powerbutton till it restarts, which keeps staying on 1 second. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I did manage to get the button responding by pushing it very hard.. But after 20 seconds or so, it keeps pressed again.. I want to know if this is fixed easily, since I'm not capable of tools to open it up... I want to get the problem out.. I hope someone can help me out..
Thanks in advance!

the only way out is to send your phone to a qualified guy its noting big i had the same problem the keys have gone too deep some small ajustment will help
!DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX IT ON YOUR OWN YOU CAN TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A BRICK!
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED
Well, today I came home from vacation.. and guess what.. the phone works perfectly for 24 hours already I hope it stays working, otherwise I will beat it up with a tx5 screw driver
Hi, today while I was browsing on Firefox, the app closed by itself and the home screen got distorted (the wallpaper got black and some icons started to show up in the background). Since it has happened before, twice in the last week, I tried to reset the phone. However this time the phone did not turn on. I put it in the charger and the LED is also not turning on. I've had it plugged in for about 9 hours now and the LED is still off and the phone is not even getting warm, like it usually does when it's charging. The charger is also not warming up, and when I tried to connect the phone to the computer USB port, Windows doesn't report any power consumption.
I've read some threads about bricking, so I know people mention longer times to get the LED turn red, but is it normal that it doesn't warm up and doesn't suck any power from a USB port?
For anyone familiar with AT&T operations, if I sent it as warranty replacement, would they bother running diagnostics? I have it with LT28i .68 firmware, rooted and with CWM.
Also, is there a way to retrieve the data from the internal SD card? I tried connecting it to the computer and nothing happened. Nothing happens when I press either volume button + power button. An nothing happens when I connect it to the computer pressing either volume button.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Have you tried the Hard reset?
Holding Power Button and Volume button together for at-least 3-5 seconds and you would feel 3 vibration.

Does ION has removable battery? If yes try to remove it for a while.
If not. Then try the buttons combo with the phone connect to charger...

The Ion doesn't have a removable battery. I already tried all combinations of power+volume buttons, while disconnected and connected to the charger, and nothing. Maybe the battery somehow got disconnected internally, I don't know if that's even possible.
I've called AT&T, they'll send another warranty replacement, the second replacement I get. Hopefully this one will last enough at least for an early renewal.
I don't know if AT&T still does this but back when I was in the states last year I had them give me an early upgrade because two of the handsets they gave me were faulty (original and one replacement). Try talking to CS Reps sometimes it pays off. You might be able to get an early upgrade if you tell them how this can't keep happening you have important data blah blah blah.
Anyways good luck!

My tablet Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805) screen went black. I can’t see the screen.
Touch also does not seem to work. However it’s on. it is receiving calls and other messages. It is connected to WiFi.
Power button, volume button are working but I can’t power off the device cause I can’t see the screen options.
When I plug in to the charging cable it vibrates but does not show anything on screen.
It didn't drop or hit by anything. i have been using it for 3 months now. it just happened by itself or may be by some update that I don’t know.
Please help how to bring it back to life
GUI crashed. Press Power+Vol up+Home (for approx 20 sec).

I tried several times.. nothing happens... any other suggestion please
Power+voldown+home.
If this does not boot, you could try with usb dongle.
Or full run down to empty battery.
Next chance would require to open it.

It's not bricked so calm down. It just had a cyber stroke. It will be fine just let the power run out and recharge the battery so u can turn it on again. Same thing happened within days for getting mine.
yes... I am waiting for the battery to be completely dead. so far its on...taking calls and sms..I don't howmuch % of batter is left cause I can't see it.
I had the exact same problem once....and i had a hunch that the screen was fine, it turned out it was thankfully....but....im aware that on 100 percent battery in standby it can last a good week or so....i was too impatient...so i ran my fingers around the edge of the backing and slowly was able to pull out the back of tge case and unclip the battery...worked straight away when turned on.
But also what i discovered does reset the tablet forcefully is holding power, vol down and the center button at the same time....try it a few times for a minute each time...if successful you might get a message about being in download mode but then just do the same thing again but imidiatly release your fingers once you see the screen go off from download mode or it will just go bavk into it...good luck m8
Have you tried holding down the power button for awhile, like 30 seconds? This should shut your device off....Then take it from there.

Seriously on my tab right now i just held vol down, power and center button whilst on and after 25 seconds screen went black then gave the "are you sure you want to enter download mode." Then i tapped vol up......t805 as well.
Battery completely empty.. tab S turned off, i plugged in the charging cable (1 ) battery meter does not appear (2) Power+vol does not work for me.. if it does.. i can't see because of the dead screen...
i have 2 options now..
(1) send it back in warranty.. this will take a lot of time and they will only fix not replace.. i guess
(2) open it and fix the display.

Hello,
Did you finally got some result?
I have exactly the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The screen suddenly went black although the light leds (home, back) were on.
I tried different combinations of buttons, usb charging and nothing. The only difference is that now the light leds are off.
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
I have achieved to boot up the device because I have heard the start up sound and some notifications. However, the display doesn't work at all: the screen is black and there is no response when touching it. In addition, the light leds of the buttons are off now even when I push the home button.
Volume keys are working (I hear the sound then touching them).
Hard reset is VOLUME DOWN(left side on a 10.5) + POWER. Hold until it restarts.

But I can't figure how could this happen in a new (2 month) high-end product... I think that I will have to use the product warranty with the cost in time it involves.
This has happened to me twice during the last year. The last time was just ten minutes ago. I tried everything mentioned in this thread. VolUp+Home+Pwr for a looong time. Just PWR for a long time. I saw on my Wifi Router that the tablet was connected, but no screen. What helped me was to do a combination of everything mentioned here. What eventually got the screen on was 1. I turned of my router and 2. Home+VolDOWN+PWR for (what I believe was) 10-15 seconds. Then I got the choice to do a normal restart or a device reset. If you come this far, be sure to press VOL DN when asked. Otherwise your data will be lost. Obviously, I can't say if the router pwr off was necessary or not.
What's really weird is that my LG G3 went into a boot loop at about the same time (less than five minutes apart). They are not connected other than using the same router. I've had my LG G3 for exactly one year without ever experiencing a boot loop. The LG G3 is rooted, but my SM-T805 is not.

It's easy fix, most of the time due to loose LCD cable. If you can hear anything on the background but blank screen, 99% is loose cable.
Remove the back cover, disconnect and reconnect LCD cable, make sure it's fully inserted, then secure the connector with tapes. Test by plugin to charger, press the HOME button.
If you do correctly, the battery icon should show up on the screen. Then put back the cover, you're done.

Hello, I've been using the T Mobile S6 Edge since the day it came out not had a single issue with it. Well today I unplugged it and used it for about two hours straight (browsing reddit in bed). I then turned the screen off and went to make a coffee, pulled the phone out to dial a number and nothing. Pressed home, pressed power, pressed and held home and power and power and volume up. Nothing. Just put it in the charger and no response. The heck is going on? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
Go to a tmobile store and exchange it. Same thing happened to a friend of mine.

Next time, hopefully there won't be a next time, this happens, try putting the phone in the download mode. Turn off the phone and press volume down, home, and power. Then press volume down not up to restart your phone.

OK I'll try that since that may have been the only button combination I didn't try. Thanks for the tip.
This happened to me also...Couldn't do anything with phone...Couldn't put in download mode or anything. .
Went to tmobile and needed my receipt so headed back home and then it turned on without doing anything

Yeah, what you're describing happened to me the other day. At first, I thought my battery died or something but ruled that out. Holding the power button didn't work so I figured I would put it in the download mode and restart that way. I've had this happen to me on rare occasions with other Android devices I've owned so I don't think it's unique to this particular device. It's just weird and kinda scary.
Cheers for the tip Vanessaem :good: My S6 refused to switch on & on my old phone S2 I used to just remove & re~instore the battery & switch it back on, but obviously we can't do that with the S6 so I was confused So I tried your button combination :victory:
For future reference, Vol Down and power for about 10sec will force a power down.
