Ive noticed lots of people taking their battery out of their precious sensations , to go into bootloader or that seemingly pointless SAFE MODE .
there is absolutely no need to do that !!
you can :
turn off "Fast Boot" under settings->power and the phone will power off.
OR if you like the fast boot use the restart option ,but remember it turns it on again, right away.
so restart the device and for bootloader just press VOL down , after its off.
and to go to that safe mode, wait for the phone to turn on again, and press VOL down
take care of your phones..
thanks Elvis_Freshly for your notes. you're right, we're cool.

so lets make it clear for those who missed it:
-the power off is like hibernation in windows, it doesnt really shuts your phone off.
-the restart option does, but it turns it on again, right away.
so restart the device:
for bootloader just press VOL down , after its off.
and to go to that safe mode, wait for the phone to turn on again, and press VOL down

Actually all they have to do is turn off "Fast Boot" and the phone will power off.
Fast boot is what causes the phone to "sleep".
There is no need for bolding your post, as your information is semi-inaccurate in itself.
I know you meant to be helpful but it came across as rude and like they're stupid.
but its crazy to take the battery out every time, and people are doing it.

someone out there, please help me. Today when I went out to work I was playing with my phone and then put it away while I was driving. When I got back to it I tried to turn it on but it would not turn on, so I keep the On key pressed for a few seconds and then it turns on.
So I thought maybe the phone needed a restart, so I did. I pressed the On key for a second and then selected "Restart". and it never started back again. I´ve been trying to press the on key for like 1 minute a nothing shows up, I connect it to the charger and the charging led doesn´t light up.
When I connect it to my computer, it seems to recognize something in the task manager as it says "Unknown Device"
Anybody knows a method to make it boot? like a typical "battery Pull"?
Try holding Power key for 10 seconds?

This ^^. or try to boot into recovery (hold volume down, then press and hold power, hold both until the three androids appear. then use volume down to select "reboot"
thanks for the reply, I just tried that and nothing, no light, no led. The capacitive buttons don´t light up either. =(
Try leaving it plugged in for awhile to make sure it's charged before you try to reboot into recovery?

I was thinking an thought. With android, sometimes the phones just get messed around too much. When I had my galaxy nexus, everytime i meet a freeze or something, I just pull the battery and reboot the phone. If the phone is messed up and wont boot. I can still just pull the battery, put it in, and boot into recovery. Now, is there any safe way to do all of this? I am worried about the One X, and still am debating between this and the note, reason being I flash a lot and dunno wat i can do if i really just mess up my phone. Anyone have any ideas?

If you hold down the power button for 10 seconds it will hard reset the phone. This is exactly the same behavior as the iPhone and other phones with a non-removable battery.

I have the same problem, when I charge it the charging indicator doesn't even turn red or green. I tried a wall charger as well as connecting it to my computer. I tried holding the power button for 10 secs, also while holding down the volume down button. Nothing works. I'm going to call HTC tomorrow, and might need to bring it back to the shop.
It always seems a bit finicky to turn on for me. I still have no idea how exactly to turn it on, I jus randomly press the button until it turns on.
Try holding down the power + volume down button.
So, yesterday my phone kept turning itself off for no apparent reason and then it would start vibrating constantly. I would take the battery out and restart the phone as normal and it would work. Later on, it shut off completely and did the same thing it had done for most of the day so I tried restarting it again like I had been doing. However, this time it would load the loading screen and get no further than it saying the model number before it turned off again and started vibrating. Before this time the phone would at least stay on for 10-15 minutes. I kept trying what I had been doing all day with no luck of it getting any further than the loading screen. If I put the battery in, it would immediately start up and then turn itself off and start vibrating again which it shouldn't do because I'd need to turn the phone on for it to load up. I looked up what the problem might be and people were saying to reboot the phone. I managed to get the recovery screen up for about 3 seconds before it turned off and started vibrating with a black screen again. Now the phone doesn't boot up/turn on at all if the battery is in. However if the battery is out and the phone is plugged into charge, then it would start up with the same problem as earlier. I would like to get to recovery to be able to either hard reset or flash a new rom, however, the phone will not boot into recovery, instead it will just turn it'self off again. The phone is not in usb debugging mode so I am unable to flash the phone via a third party software. Any help would be much appreciated as the phone is currently completely unusable.
Thank you.
check your power button ,it might be damaged...!!
No it's definitely not that because I could use it for get into recovery (even though it was for just a second, not long enough to be able to do anything). I have no idea what the problem could be.

that is the idea, if the power button is blocked you can enter recovery just for a sex then it reboots,
when you put the battery on it turns on?
Yes, it used to turn on straight away when the battery was inserted but this isn't happening now. Probably time for a new phone.

if it isnt happening now its because you have no more battery left
you can fix it to a service, its not so expensive

I have the same problem right now after a failed flash. So I would suppose it is not a stuck power button... I can't even get to recovery by the way....

I could get to download mode (for about 6 seconds)
After a lot of trying I suppose it must be the power button, as you suggested. I even succeded in installing a stock rom (by pressing the power button in the download mode every seconds or two)...
Seems strange though. I suppose pressing the power button to get into the download and recovery mode gets it stuck....
Thanks for your suggestion though. I will bring the smartphone to a store tomorrow and see if they can get it fixed.
[Q]Can't get into Recovery Mode,possibly due 2 "sticky" power button.It got worse
Couple of things first to lay down the situation.
I'm on BEAN Builds 19,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973982
I'm also using ClockworkMod Recovery. Not sure what version.
Now my power button is one of those "sticky" ones, where it's not springy. This has caused me a few problems in which I can't seem to use the button to turn on my phone anymore. If the phone is off, I have to pull the battery, and then re=insert it to turn the phone back on. Also I'm not sure if button is "being held down", since it's so sticky, but the quick toggle options in the ROM for Restart and Recovery don't work. When I use the quick toggle for restart, my phone just turns off, and doesn't restart. As for recovery, I'll touch on that below.
Today I wanted to flash myself a new modem. So I tried to get into Recovery mode. I go into there once after a couple of tries, but the Power Button , being in the down position from the "sticky button", hit the option to restart the phone before I could flash anything/do anything. After a couple of tries of unsuccessfully getting into Recovery Mode the normal holding down buttons way, I decided to try the quick toggle in the rom to get into Recovery mode.
But just like hitting the restart option, it didn't do what I wanted it to do. My phone shut off, but that was it. Now when I try to battery pull and reinsert to get the phone to turn back on, all it does is show the Samsung Logo, turn black, and that's it. I'm assuming that it's trying to boot into Recovery Mode since that's what it was last told to do before I shut off my phone, and I also think that the "sticky power button" is throwing off the phone's attempts to do that.
Any help or direction would be great and much appreciated. Thank you for your time you took to read this.
Bang ur fone on a table. Seriously ppl been doing that on ur situation to pop out the power button. Try to cover ur fone or put a cloth on table so ur fone wont get scratch and stuff

I've got a very similar issue. Only difference is my power button is not stuck at all. However regardless of how I try to enter recovery/Download/ or simply to restart my phone I often times have to try 10 - 15 times before anything other than the Samsung splash screen into black screen of ??? Happens. Up until 5 minutes ago and hopefully for good something somehow decides to let the phone do as I had asked(told) it to do. Wish I had an answer or some help for you instead of reporting the same problem. Hopefully someone out there does.

Did you open up your phone and meter the button? If not its probably sticking. The button you see on the outside is just a contact not the actual button so it won't look compressed. Sounds like your problem is super sensitive button which is related to the sticking button in fact it was what happened to me beforeit started sticking.

There is an A7 2018 with lockscreen on, but the owner don't remember it. So it need to be remove by resetting the phone. However, unlike all the video on the net, this phone actually at the screen where "password is required after restart", not the actual lockscreen itself. This is where the problem lies. I've tried getting into recovery mode with the button combination, but the phone won't get into it. There is no turning off the phone, because it requires password to do so. I've tried everything, vol up+power, vol down+power, vol down+power and when the screen turned off switch to vol up+power, and repeat them all in case I didn't time it right. The phone just won't boot into recovery. Also, it won't goes into download mode as well.
So, was it the phone's security that was blocking me, or I just haven't tried everything yet. Spent half a day working on this phone, ended up nowhere.
Forced reboot is done by holding VOL DOWN + POWER for around 7 seconds. Once it's rebooting, hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN and plug usb. You have to do this when the phone is off and not yet vibrated when turning on.
I will try to find some way to help, but force reboot should work ALWAYS.

Its off alright, tried checking it with command prompt and nothing shows up.
I always leave service centre as the last resort.
,.... There is "a phone". .... And the owner " does not remember the password"....
These things make my alarmbell go off.
I don't say you stole this phone or anything, but I am not going to teach you how to unlock safety on a phone because there is a good reason that safety feature is there.
Contact a service centre and good luck.

Oh come on, there is not a single thief in this world that will lose time to check forums and waste hours like the colleague above or me ,trying to fix a phone ! All with gsm repair services had stolen phones in their hands for sure ! If one customer comes and says give me *lets say half the price for a s9* for a s9 , you wouldnt give them the money and buy the phone? of course you would ! We are all humans trying to make a living. Extremely few people would hold back and ask questions ! And sometimes , when buying phones, you can get some that are stolen, can`t catch the thief, can`t recover your money ,unless you remove frp, bypass security, remove icloud , thats just the way things work ! no point in hiding behind a finger. You sometimes get rekt ! and buy stolen phones without even knowing, or willingly buying, because if not, the competitor will buy it and ruin the market price for you ! Good luck to you all !

Was watching youtube videos last night before my phone died, now I can't get it to start boot into the OS. Not sure if this is relevant but my power button had been a little finnicky- rather maybe not the power button itself because it doesn't feel stuck or anything at all but I noticed that it would take an extra second or two after pressing the power button to get into my lock screen. I never really paid attention because it only happened once in a while and I would just restart my phone and be done with it. However I can't even get into the lock screen or anything now.
After my phone died last night I plugged it in right away and came back a while later to turn it on. I tried turning it on but noticed my phone just kept rebooting. It's still repeatedly rebooting and I can only get in the fastboot menu by holding down both volume buttons when rebooting. I get the options power off- which just reboots it after a while, start - which just reboots the phone, restart boot loader- which literally takes me back to the same menu, recovery mode- just reboots and show barcode which shows the barcode at the bottom of the menu.
I've tried downloading the qualcomm driver and trying to get into EDL mode but don't see it on my pc or msmtool, i'm also not even sure if i'm trying to get into EDL mode correctly. I've tried disable Driver signature Enforcement and then redownloading the qualcomm driver but still no luck. I don't know what else I should try. Someone please help me out, i'm pissed this happened just because my phone died, about to have ptsd whenever my phone is at 5% fml.
Also after seeing the 1+ logo and powered by android on the bottom, sometimes I would see like a line of color, which I would assume is text not being rendered all the way, fade out and then the phone shuts down and reboots itself.

Which OOS build are you on? And your device is unlocked or not?
Getting into EDL mode is tricky. Power off device completely. With the device powered off, hold down volume up and volume up at the same time, keep them pressed all the time, and during that time plug into PC (phone all the time powered off). Still hold both of the buttons. By the time you plug into PC, you should be in EDL mode, BUT it only lasts about 10 seconds. I mean you have to click start in this 10 seconds time bracket, other way phone exits EDL itself. After you click start, you can release button, obviously
