how do you force shut down?

so i notice HTC one x battery is not user replace-able. How do you force the phone to shut down in case the phone is freezing or whatever reason?

hold the power button for about 10 sec simulates a battery pull

I think you have to hold down VOL+, VOL- and POWER together to do that. Just tried it on my phone and it shut the phone down. Not sure if it works in situations where the phone is frozen though.

What Daan said, hold the power button until it shuts down (max 10sec)

thx, i haven't got my one x yet but this should be useful when my one x arrived.

with the power button (hold for 10sec) you can only force a restart on the hox!
but how can you make a shutdown only with hardware buttons?
for example: the display cracked and you want to power down your phone?
as far as i know, no chance to shut it down!

The closest you get is 'holding power + volume down' for around ten seconds. The system will reboot into the Booloader, where you can select power down.

fastboot oem powerdown (if you are interested)
note: you cant turn off the one X ,instead it runs the recovery in a low-power-hidden mode.

Just uncheck the fast boot option in settings and it will completely shut down, to force it just press power button + vol down

Fast boot mode already off, i thought my phone was off until I tried the adb commands on my "turned off" device. (it takes around 10 seconds to start hidden recovery mode)

Shutdown only with Hardwarebuttons. NO CHANCE !
good comments, but nobody had a really good answer for my question from post #6....
how do you shutdown the HOX, if you have no chance to access the touchscreen or see anything on the lcd?
the thing is, i got that problem, that i had an cracked display.
when i disassembled it to put in the new display, the HOX started up, because i accidentally pushed the power button...
how can i now shut it down, if it´s disassembled?
i tried, but with hardwarebuttons only, you have NO shutdown function at all....

bad power button

Is there an alternate way to turn phone on if power button is not working? Checked out recovery and donload mode and both require use of the power button. Also tried holding volume down + camera then plugging the usb charger but nothing.

Try Quick Boot in the store. Keep in mind that you may not be able to enter download mode still.

(HELP) Power button broken!

Hello guys!
I need something to power on phone without using a jig. A rom with working button remap to power on phone, or is there anyway to make volume + button to work when phone is turned off, and actually manage to turn it on?
I have done button remap and it only works as long as phone is turned on.

I would recommend you get a rom with volume wake. There are apps on the google play store that, the one I use is call "Button Savior".
This is assuming that you can get the phone to power up to recovery and flash a working rom. Currently using the CM 10.1 and it's working pretty well for me.

Thanks I downloaded Beanstalk because of 4.4.2 version, It included Volume button wake but. I remap the Volume key to turn on and off screen by editing the key layout files in system. I used this guide of reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696526
Removed faulty switch and use a paper clip to turn on and off the phone.
Paper clip can be stored inside battery cover.
This phone is from my friend which I fixed for him.
Thanks :good:

Hard reset fastboot is enabled

Hello everyone, my girlfriend is having an issue where her m8 won't turn on. We looked at it last night and put it on the charger (although we didn't expect it would be dead already) and then left it over night. Woke up this morning and it's still having the same issue. I tried doing both a hard reset and soft reset, just anything to get it out of this weird loop it's in. Everywhere I look for information on hard resetting it says you need to disable fastboot - something a little difficult to do if your phone won't turn on. Are there any other tricks or work arounds that maybe I'm overlooking? I'd prefer to stay away from 3rd party fixes if possible that will void the warranty as I don't want her phone to get rejected if we need to send it out for repair. The closest repair facility is a bit of a distance so I want to see if there is something we can do from home first.
Thanks!

Disabling the "fastboot" option isn't really necessary.
Although I'm not sure what "weird loop" means. If its actually doing a boot loop, and rebooting, then just hold vol down to enter bootloader.
Otherwise, if its just "stuck" on the boot screen, then hold power and vol up to force a reboot (hold for maybe 10 seconds or so); and the moment the screen goes dark, let go of vol down and start holding vol down and don't let go until you see bootloader.

My apologies, my terminology may be incorrect.
The display is not turning on. Holding power + volume up or power + volume down do not get the screen to turn on.
The instructions I looked at all say disable fastbooting before trying to force boot or hard reset. So that was my confusion.
I really appreciate the help.

Any charging LED when charger connected? Any response from computer if you connect the phone?
Leave the phone on charger (wall charger, not connected to a computer) overnight, and try the button combos again (also, try just holding power down, no other buttons; in addition to the button combos you listed). Try this with the charger connected, as well as without.
Some folks have gotten their seemingly dead M8's to revive with apparently random combinations of button pressing (often holding the buttons for a long time, 1 to 2 minutes) charger plugged in, etc.

The only reasons instruction say that, is that the phone either needs to be "real" power off, or a reboot in order for the button combo to go into bootloader (power + vol down) to work. When "fastboot" is selected in Power settings, it actually prevents a real power down (its actually just a sleep state). But if you reboot, it doesn't matter. A reboot is a reboot, it doesn't matter if "fastboot" is enabled. And Power + vol up is one way to force a reboot.
None of this matters, if the phone is not responding (screen not coming on) at all in the first place.

I did leave it on the wall charger last night and was playing with different combinations. I'm going to try plugging it into my computer when I get home. I'm not noticing any LEDs come on however which is what is making me think it's not a screen issue.

I recall reading that someone got a similar issue sorted by hold Volume Up or Volume Down + Power button while holding the phone under a bright light(proximity sensor at the front needs to be directly under light).
There was similar threads/methods on the old HTC One(M7) too that apparently worked. Don't know if it's just coincidence or what Might be worth a shot.
Edit: Volume UP OR Volume down, not both at the same time

Open rear case carefully and see if you can turn it on

Hello,
I am facing the same issue..the power button isnt working.
Hence i cannot restart/unlock /power off my phone.
Is there any alternative?
Please help ASAP.
Thanks!

Press volume buttons and plug in the charger. Phone will start in recovery mode. Select normal and your phone will start.
Once your phone is running, download power to volume button app to unlock the phone using volume button.
