Not Restarting - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I restart my phone every morning. Its twice now, I would unplug my phone after being charged overnight, then I do a manual restart but my phone would just turn off and not reboot. I have to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds before it would start up again.
The first occurrence was a few weeks after getting the phone at launch. I thought I bricked my phone somehow after continuously trying to power on the phone. The second occurrence was this morning (updated with latest version).
Any advice?

[Q] HTC one X Will not power on. Not recognized by computer.

Today after waking up my girlfriend's phone **** itself.
-The phone was constantly powering down throughout the day, every 5-10 minutes. Upon powering it back on the device would boot up, but data and cell access was restricted, and would play 3 quick beeps.
-After a few hours of this the device just powered off, and now will not boot up at all.
-Was fully charged when we woke up this morning.
-Currently is not recognized by the computer. No driver installation, does not even appear as a generic device in device manager.
-No LED light sequence when trying to power on, or when plugging it into the charger (on computer or in the wall)
Sounds like it's most likely something in the hardware that failed. I tried to boot into recovery on it, but the device doesn't respond. Any other suggestions before taking it back to our carrier? It's only about 2 months old. It was rooted, but no custom roms or anything.

sounds like soft-brick... leave the phone charging till you see the red LED blinking or Lighting up

[Q] G2 Semi unresponsive (Solved)

Ok i got a wierd one, currently running Flinney Cm 10 test build 121, and today i went to play with phone and battery was dead so i plugged it in and came back a couple of hours later and attempted to turn on phone. It took a long time pressing the power button before it booted. I let it sit to finish loading startup processes, backlights shut off, couple minutes later i hit trackball to wake and nothing, I then proceeded to the power button, still nothing. Ive pulled battery and repeated with no luck. So i started to do some reading and found a thread stating to get into bootloader mode by holding trackball and pressing power, this worked, (only one time) so i decided to just reboot device which it did and i did not let it go to sleep this time. I proceeded over to settings/display/screen timeout and set it to 30 mins. I was kinda thinking that the rom that i am running has got some sort of screen of death or sleep of death so i started to download cm9 and set down phone. With in five minutes i looked down at phone and WTF it was off again.( yes i am sure it had battery life last i looked it was at 67%) Now i cant get it to turn on get into recovery mode,dowload mode, or bootloader. When i plug phone in i get the orange led blinking followed by a green led flashing. Ive tried adb NADA i type adb devices and the phone shows up serial is listed followed by the word "recovery", now when i plug in my other phone to adb it shows up but is stated as "device" not recovery. Anyone have any input. I have been searching for a while and found nothing to help. Are there any one click programs that i might have overlooked ( Heimdall Exe) Sorry for long read but i am stumped
Try another battery. Have had it happpen on an old cliq sorta like your issue and poped in a new battery and no more worries.
what an easy fix DUHH

[Q] Curious P6 Boot-Loop

Hello everybody. The story goes like this
Last night I put my P6-U06 to charge overnight, After half an hour I realized it didn't charge at all. Not even 1% although the device stated "Charging(x%)" on the homescreen. After fiddling with it a bit changed chargers, changed cables etc. the phone died. Putting it back in the wall socket started charging my phone. After a 15% charge I thought I boot it up. Then the display went completely black and started vibrating continuously. As such I believed it to be a software issue and proceeded to download firmware from the huawei website and placed it in dload folder in sd card.
Problem is I have absolutely no idea if the phone is off or not because as soon as I plug it in a computer or wall socket it starts vibrating and the little LED starts beeping red. However when I try the 3 button hold for recovery the continuous vibration stops for a second and then it kinda pulsates( like when you are typing ) then starts vibrating continuously again. I have tried every possible combination of these three keys all with the same result. For some reason I cannot start the huawei recovery procedure. Also the pc is not detecting the phone at any stage.
What do you think is causing this? I can't explain what happened. A minute was working fine the other bam! bricked phone.
Update: plugging the phone in the pc or wall socket while holding the 3 buttons starts it with the pulsating vibration mentioned above. However nothing on the display and a few seconds after releasing the buttons the continuous vibration resumes.
Update 2: This morning the phone was left without charge. When connecting it to the charger the display came alive with the battery and percentage of charge. However booting it again resulted in the same issue.

Pixel xl is wierd, bootloop like symptoms, but can access the phone sometimes..

So a few months back, my phone had bootloop like symptoms, but i was able to access it for a few seconds, and after that it started freezing up and restarting, until it "bootlooped". I could enter the power + volume down menu, but rarely in the recovery mode. I hat to keep the phone OFF a few minutes/hours. I've reset it and tried multiple OTA's at that time, no luck
Now, after a few months, i tried again, booted up the phone, set it up like a new phone, it worked for a few minutes, after that it started freezing up again. The battery was 15%, than 4% than 32% (after every restart)
Now, i managed to sideload the latest OTA, the phone is in the previous newly setup phase, and ifi leave it charging (via laptop usb) and lockscreen it took about 5-6 minutes before it started restarting, and again, the battery indicator started to show 5%, 18%, 46% and back down to 14% after the last restart.
i've seen some similar topics here, that said that after a battery change it was usable again, but with no RMA possibilities, and on a tight budget, i would not like to invest in a new battery and service, just for it to be some other hardware malfunction. So if there is anyone able to help, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Hey are you still around? I think this may be a issue caused by the emmc chip itself. I bought a pixel for $12 from a guy who was just trying to get rid of a phone (with almost same exact issues of yours). Some people are saying because power button is stuck but that's silly because power button works perfectly fine in bootloader mode.

Overnight unsolicited restart hanging

Tapped my screen early morning to see the time, sometime after noticed "NOKIA" screen as in a shut-down/restart, which did not proceed further. Pressing/holding power button and even slipping the SIM in and out has no effect at all. Connecting to my PC shows up as a CD drive, but not the usual "Nokia 6" listing. Battery was 95% or so, do I have to wait a week for it to go dead and try a recharge - any experience with this, anyone ??
OK - found a clue after a bit of trolling around - got it to restart using the power and up-volume buttons simultaneously. I had tried it earlier, but did not know it needed at least 30 seconds to be effective.
Still a mystery why and what started the problem.
