I'm about to receive my new Z1c. I've never had a phone that didn't allow access to the battery. What do you do if the phone totally locks up? Or does that never happen?

In case your phone is freezing or totally locked, press power + vol up until it will vibrate 3 times then reboot your phone

There is a hard power off button in red color in the microSD slot, press it 5s and your phone will turn off.
Pressing the power button and volume up at the same time also always worked reliably for me no matter what state the phone was in.

Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread because I'm heaving a problem with the On/Off switch of my phone... Since yesterday it doesn't work anymore, so when I push it down, nothing happens...
Yesterday, the power-controll menu (the one who appears when you push the swith down for a couple of seconds) appeared now and then, and my phone randomly switched on and off, so I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue...
My problem here is that I bought the phone in a store that's far away from where I live, so I can't just go and bring the phone for repair... But in the meantime I can't turn my phone on... The only way I can turn on the screen is when I connect it to a power source or when someone calls me.
I've searched the interwebs for software that may help me (something like a button remapper, so that I could use the central button for example as on and off switch) but that's only for rooted devices, and mine isn't...
Any propositions ?

I think his phone was on, so the problem was that he couldn't turn the screen on.

Well actually yes, the device was on but it turned off because of the battery... Luckily, I managed to restart the device by plugging it into the power source and remove/putting back the battery several times...
I noticed now that my battery is draining really fast, the phone can't hold a day of normal usage
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.

Hold VolUP+VolDOWN at the same time, and then press Power button, holding it too, the 3 at same time for some secs...

I tried that too, the phone also doesn't respond.
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!

Did you try holding down the power button + volume up key? Its to force reboot the phone. Keep the combination of keys pressed till your phone vibrates! Hope it helps...

Get flashtool and drivers plug phone into it and see if flashtool detects anything on it. If that don't detect it unplug.
Hold the up and down vol button and press power button and see if it vibrates or anything. If still nothing then get a t6 or t8 screw driver remove the back of it and remove the battery and get a ohmz meter on it and test the battery or connect to a battery tester. Sounds like battery dead on it.

I recently installed the newest update for my HTC ONE. My phone is not rooted nor running a custom ROM. It was running well with the newest update for about a day, I turned it off one night after updating it and now it will no longer turn on. Whenever I press the power button the back and home button flash. Any clue to what's happening? The phone is charging and it shows me the charging screen. e

I should have also said that when I press the power button I can get the battery charging display on the scree to turn on and off. So I'm not sure if the power button is the issue.

Are you holding it long enough?
Try holding volume down and power for like 20-30 seconds.
You call HTC support? Have you ever s-off our unlock the bootloader?

I believe that there is battery protection circuitry that will not allow you to turn on the phone until it's charged. Leave it on the charger for a few hours, up to 24, and try again.

Once the phone is turned off. By holding the power button and volume down ten seconds, it becomes clear.
