Used the search and Google but couldn't find anything comparable.
Somehow my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi)'s touchscreen just died during traveling to work and I am not able to restart the device.
Is there any button combination to do this or any other way possible? I can turn on the device and the power on/off and volume buttons are working, but I cannot select e.g. shut down as the touchscreen is not responsive.
The device is not rooted or anything, just plain stock, newest firmware version.
any help appreciated!
Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds.
Eventually it'll first shut down, then as you keep pressing the power, it will turn back on.

So I have my htc one x for a year now. Rooted and custom rom, all worked fine.
The keypresses of the power button will be simulated very fast with no actual pressure on the power button. So after some minutes off locking and waking my device I pressed volume down and power button. Now sometimes it simulates the volume down and power button.
So sometimes it shuts off the device.
So I opened the device and there appears to be nothing wrong with it. I turned my HOX on and quickly unplug the ribbon cable from the power button off. But the power button is still pressed really fast, like 2 times a second.
I can't even go into recovery to backup, restore or flash anything because it will press the power button really quick and after 10 seconds it turns itself off.
It happened before on Slimbean rom. But the problem went away after some days. Now i got MIUI and the problem is back. So I don't think it is rom related.
My solution:
Is there a way to disable hardware keys in the recovery? Then i can try to restore my official RUU nand..?
I have been having an issue with my Nexus where I have to hold in the power button for 15 seconds for it to turn on, where normally, I would just hold it in for about 3 seconds. Is there any reason it should not turn on when the power button is held down for just 3 seconds?

That might happen if Android doesn't completely shut down (so ~10 seconds of that would be forcing it to shut down, then start up again)

Hm, that's odd, because I did not shut it down. Could it have possibly shutdown on itself then? Not sure what you mean by "completely shut down".
I'm actually having the same problem except mine freezes and then I try to do a reboot by pressing the power button. The screen stays off until I press the power button for 10-15 seconds. I'm not sure if its the same thing though. Happened to me twice. I am running a custom kernel Elemental X.
So, i dropped it in the toilet, and afterwards its been acting.... weird.
When i hold the button down the power button, well, takes a screenshot. I cant turn it off unless its and it doesn't ask me to turn it off, or restart, or whatever it used to say.
when i lightly activate the power button, nothing happens.
the volume down also takes a screenshot, separately. so say i can hold the volume down, it takes one, and then i hold down the power without holding the down, it takes another.
ALSO, when the tablet is plugged into anything, it turns on. I cannot turn it off with adb restart -p, as it just turns off then turns back on from the usb.
Yes it is useable, but its very annoying as fast boot requires a powered down kindle.
Im probably missing something, so feel free to ask questions
Hi, is there any way to force a shut down, I have the google Pixel XL went to restart it as it couldnt find any wifi and now it stuck on powering off, tried holding power button, power button and volume etc, then it pops up power off or restart but the screen is unresponsive, hit power button again and comes pack up as Power off , Shutting down, being like that for 1 hour so far, i expect i will have to wait till it runs out of Battery??? Removal batteries are so much easier.......

Just keep holding down the power button after about 20 second it should shut down

Hi,
My Pixel 6 Pro screen went black, but I can still hear and feel that the phone is working. I used the volume up + power button to reboot it and now I touch the phone and I feel it vibrate as it's registering the touches. I also see at the bottom of the screen some white stripes flashing. It seems that the screen is damaged and I need a replacement screen.
Now my issue is that I can't seem to turn it off. As the screen is black, the only way to shut it down would be with hardware keys. But up until now, I haven't been able to figure out a way to turn the phone off.
Does anyone know how I can turn of the phone?
To replace the screen, obviously I need to turn it off first...
Usually long pressing the power button, but it may be different. As long as it gets fixed within a month or so it you can let it discharge until it auto shuts down. If more than a year old replacing the battery when repaired is a good idea anyway...
I tried long pressing the power button with no luck.
I tried volume down + power button for 20 seconds, didn't work either.
I tried volume up + power button for 20 seconds, this I think reboots the phone.

Power button only might take 20 or so seconds.
Otherwise just like it sit until repaired.
Power button + vol up + vol down. Keep holding down once you feel the phone vibrate. Takes you to the bootloader screen
The battery died.. so that's good!
Thanks anyways
