Coming from an EVO 4G, when long pressing the power button I had the choice of Power Off and restart. Depending on if quick boot was enabled, the power button would either power off completely or go do the quick boot sleep mode. How is this phone setup because there is no option to reboot. Does this phone do quick boot or is it really that fast to boot? If I turn the phone off does it really turn off or just go into the quick boot sleep mode.
Thanks
I think it actually shuts down. My start-up time is the same when I pull the battery then turn it on or turning it off then on.
It boots up really fast so there is no need for fastboot.
So is there a way to reboot/restart the phone without turning it off/on? LOL this phone is fast!
quick boot in the market.

Hold the power button like you are bringing up the power off menu. Keep holding it without selecting power off. When the screen goes off let go. The phone will reboot. You can hold v down while you do that to get into download mode. Same worth v up for recovery. Not really "quick" but it works.

I have this problem where the power saver battery mode sometimes changes to power saving mode by itself (I set it to normal mode or performance mode). This means that the networks turn off when the phone sleeps - a big problem for me because I am using an ip phone service (no 2G voice) that needs an always on connection. I have the Z008 (ze550ml) on the latest .92 firmware. My wife has the same phone and also has this problem. The only solution I can find is to disable power saver completely, but obviously this impacts on battery life. Does anyone know why this occurs? Is it a bug, or am I doing something to cause it? Is there any fix other than disabling the power saver?
There is a setting allows power saving mode to be activated automatically by schedule, I would check that first

It's off.
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I'm rooted on CPD1. When the battery power gets to 5% the phone goes into a power saving mode that is really nice. How can I put it in that mode manually?
I was charging my phone connected to my laptop, the phone was powered off. I unplugged it and it just stuck like it was still plugged in charging. The charging light is on but trying to rest or boot does nothing. Just makes the charging light turn off for a second then back on.
Is it bricked? What should I do?
UPDATE
I let the battery drain out overnight and plugged it into the wall socket this morning. Now the charge light blinks but no charge icon pops up and it still doesn't power on. When trying to boot it into recovery, the icon pops up again. When I unplug it from charging, the charge light still blinks and the icon stays still. I think it is going to have to be a paperweight.
Anyone ever had this happen?

First, let the phone charge on wall socket for several hours. This is sometimes needed if the battery is allowed to drain to shutoff, and there is unsufficient battery voltage to boot/power-on the phone.
There is no button combo to directly access recovery on this phone, so I think you mean you tried to boot to bootloader (power+vol down). In some conditions like this (battery drained, stuck on boot screen, etc.), you will need to hold button combos for a minute or more before it will reboot. So try to just hold the buttons longer. Also try to do this (hold for a minute+) for power+vol up (this button combo forces a reboot in most situations) or simply just the power button ("regular" power-on).
Power + vol up would have been the best way to force a reboot (works in virtually every condition short of a true brick), rather then let the battery drain to shut-off. Letting the battery drain to shutoff is never a great idea, if it can be avoided, for the reason already mentioned.

Oh man! I was freaking for a while. I tried like everything except holding the buttons down so long. That reset it. It booted. When it booted up I tried to update the with the OTA in settings and it locked again on bootscreen. I did the hard reset again. It didn't update. I want to update it to Android 6.0, but it keeps running into problems some error "unexpected contents on partition - installation aborted." Something like that.
Thinking of trying to flash the OTA or RUU. Do you think that is a good idea?

I did the same a while back. Found my M8 had powered off overnight. Tried the button combos, which didn't seem to work, and thought it was spontaneously bricked. Finally just tried holding power (or maybe power+vol up, don't remember exactly) for a long time, and it finally booted, leading to much relief.

Flash the OTA how?
RUU should be fine, if you version has an RUU.
After removing Google lock on a phone I bought on eBay the phone will only charge in safe mode and the light on the front next to the speaker is always on but off in safe mode. I reset this phone to factory about three times so there's no extra apps on it but I can't figure out how to fix this issue? Android 8.1 on this phone and is a XT1635 0. It is not rooted. Any ideas?

i do not think google account removal will affect on battery. try one more thing.. hard reset the phone.
turn off the phone and press volume.. volume down and power button .. all button together for a few seconds. You will be able to see fastboot on mobile screen. press volume 1 - 2 times and select RECOVERY mode by pressing power button. phone will say no command. press power and volume up button. erase all database. it will restore phone to factory setting. this method resolve almost 90% issue. try it.
