[Q] powering on - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

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.

Do you mean, completely turned off or just waking up ?
For powered down device, you need to hold it for few seconds to turn it on ,however, if you are waking it up from sleep (that is device is turned on and screen has gone into sleep mode), just touching it will turn your nexus back.
I hope this helps
I thought I was the only one to notice this....I feel like I have to push the power button for quite a long time before anything turns on, around 5-6 seconds
yep to turn the device from off (not standby) i also have to hold the button for about 5 seconds before the google logo appears.

It's normal to have to hold the power button on button for a few seconds for the unit to power on from an off state.

Reboot without working touchscreen

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.

Hold the power button for about 20-30 seconds. It'll force power it off, then hold the power button for about 5 seconds to turn it on.

But why it powered off itself? The battery had 60-70%
Are you running a custom ROM, flash a custom kernel?
Stock rom
i don't rooted it,
i don't unlocked the tab.
I only installed some game (GTA VC, Asphalt 8 etc)
The tab is 5 days old.

Google Pixel XL stuck / frozen powering off

Question Black screen but still working. How to shutdown phone

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
