Hi, this is my first post, so don't get mad if it's bad lol
Yesterday, I was watching a video and my nexus 5x just froze. I tried to click home, but the screen wasn't responding, so I force shut it down. Now it won't turn on, even after I charged it, held the power button and volume down to get it into recovery mode, but it doesn't work. I plugged it in today, it showed a battery icon and tried to start up but it showed the google logo and the screen went black. Is my phone bricked or is there any way to recover it? I wouldn't mind if I lost my files, there wasn't anything precious on it.
Thanks,
Pranav

Hello,
I'm a new user and this is my first post here. I felt the need to "contribute" with my somewhat of a unique case.
I bought the Xperia SL 48h ago, and managed to "brick" it. The phone just died on me during regular use, I was in astro manager at the moment of the brick, the screen gradually turned off, and the phone became unresponsive soon afterwards. It didn't react when I plugged in the charger or when I connected it to my pc, the LED was dead, power + vol up button combo was also useless, and the pc saw my device as "QHSUSB_DLOAD".
I managed to solve this issue by holding power + vol up button combination for four (4!) minutes. I didn't really have a stopwatch, but I was in the bus on road to the store to return the phone, and just thought I might give persistence and stubbornness a chance. Three bus stops later, the phone vibrates and just turns on normally, like nothing happened.
I don't know how bugs like this occur, nor do I know how to prevent them; I am going to pretend this was just a work of gremlins.
Bottom line - if power on + vol up button combo didn't work for you for a 5 second, 10 second or a 30 second time-span, hold them buttons for a couple of minutes and pray that it works. I hope this helps someone.
Best regards
Did it have enough charge?

Seems your phone got stuck and turned the screen off.
Holding power+volume Up forces it to shutdown without messing with the battery-removal.
So you might have been able to restart it successfully.

The battery was at 14% at the time of power+vol up wake up. I didn't charge it though, I plugged in the charger just to see if there was a LED on, but there wasn't any LED response whatsoever.

That must be it. At the moment of the brick, screen gradually turned off, with darker colors becoming instantly black, and brigther colors getting a yellow tint just before everything vanished from the screen. Thing is though, the phone didn't react to the power+vol up combo right away, but two hours later and almost four minutes of holding the buttons.
One more thing that I noticed was, when the phone was connected to my pc, if I held the power+vol up, the pc would add/remove my hardware in a cycle, or at least play the sound of a device connected/disconnected. The phone still remained dead, but returned later for a miraculous wake up.

I'm not an expert, but this is probably your phone entering fastboot mode and then being disconnected due to incorrect drivers on the PC.
Glad your phone came back though. Comatose phones are terrifying, no?

I'm not out of the woods yet.
Got myself a second brick, and I've been trying to work it out for the past 24+ hours. I won't post about it on this thread, I've posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39847797&postcount=532 , but I will report back with any advancements on the matter.
was browsing the net with my p6, then it just froze.
now it is stuck on the page, cant turn it off, no buttons respond (power, volume etc) its just stuck on that page, and i cant turn off the phone or do anything at all. the screen isnt turning off.
its got a full battery, ive gotta wait till the battery dies?
this couldnt have happened at a worse time.

what browser u were using?

So earlier yesterday I was on my phone (T-999 S3, rooted, PAC-man rom) when suddenly the screen just went black and my phone turned off. It didn't even reboot, it just stayed off.
I thought it was a little odd, so I tried to turn it back on and it would get to the logo screen and the screen would go black and the phone would shut off, and it wouldn't reboot like in other cases.
I tried to go into recovery but it would turn off after the logo popped up, I cant even get into download mode because after I press volume up to initiate download mode, it turns off. Ive owned this phone for about 13 months and this has never happened to me before. What should I do?

This is an issue with the power button, which is exactly what I'm working on right now for my wife's phone. I ordered the button and received it a couple days ago. About to install it now.
Good way to test is remove the battery, then put it back. If it tries to turn on by itself, then it's almost certain it's the power button.
Let us know how easy the replacement goes in! Good luck on it!

Hey. I have a problem with my phone. Today at the morning I have opened the SNAPCHAT app (I'm beta tester in there) and my phone has been frozen after opening. I couldn't do anything so I restarted it by holding the power button. Phone has restarted but was frozen on the HTC ONE x logo, so I restarted again and the phone entered the BOOT MENU and was saying "LOCKED -- SECURITY WARNING" so I tried to reboot and nothing happened entered the same place to boot menu, so I pressed FACTORY RESET so nothing happened so I pressed FACTORY RESET and nothing happened again, so I restarted two times the phone and turned back on, but when the screen went black (sleep) it seems like the phone turned off, I'm charging it and nothing want to work, the LED light doesn't appear and I tried using the HOLD POWER BUTTON AND VOLUME BUTTON but doesn't work. I tried to plug the phone to pc but doesn't work as well, so does any of you have a solution for it?
heads up

Hey dudes, check it out bruhs my phone is kinda acting up.
The story goes one day i was using my phone while it was charging, then it turned off and i thought maybe the battery is low. I left it charging overnight thinking it was the battery only but sadly it wasn't. I tried to boot it and failed. Now every time i try to turn on my phone it will shut off by itself. As soon as i put the battery on my phone it automatically boots without pressing any button and shuts off after a couple of seconds. (I've tried a different battery no luck still) Any help would be
much appreciated thanks a lot!:crying:

Can you enter Download Mode?
"Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time."
