I was recording something using a vocie program and paused it. About 4-5 hours later I go to save what i recorded it froze and the screen is black and will not cut on. Is there a way I can reset or cold boot it?
Thanks, this is got my scared!
Hold power button and volume down at the same time, afterabout ten secinds or so it should reset.... Whatever you recorded is probably gone

I thought I saw this somewhere... But what I read about it was it was similar to doing a factory reset, doesn't actually reflash anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Vol- & power will do a hard reset when you still have stock recovery.
So has anyone been daring enough to try this? Lol

Yups, my first G2x was experiencing major reboots so I did a factory reset via vol down + power. didn't help lol. Didn't want to wait for an OTA update to fix the issue so I opt to exchange it and my current one now works like it should

the thread says vol. down, HOME and power. is that what you did?
I believe it pops up the stock recovery menu and goes into verbose mode while the phone is doing a factory reset. The stock recovery menu is useless since you can't actually select anything.

volume down and power will hard reset if you font flash nvflash.

Didn't read thoroughly, my bad. its without the HOME key. I don't think the capacitive keys work when the phone is off lol.
If planning to do so, backup prior! Otherwise it shouldnt be necessary...don't do what you don't know your doing just cuz everyone else is doing it lol

Vol. Down and Power gives me a screen that says "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." And it never does anything. I had gotten a boot loop (hadn't even considered rooting yet) so I pulled the battery and booted up, I guess my finger had been on volume down. Still does that, and it never changes. Just stays like that. If I pull the battery, I get a boot loop again. What the hell D: Should I call up customer care?
It will force the phone to shut down. I did it couple times when my lock screen froze.
Simply holding power will force the phone to shut down.
Power and volume down format on stock or recovery if nvflashed
I don't think home is necessary or used at all.

I just flashed to sky ics yesterday and I everythings works fine except I cannot take a screen cap and I have tried both method, volume down with power and power with home button. Also I can't seem to have my home keys button vibrate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

How exactly are you trying to take the screenshot?? Are you pressing power + home at the same time and holding?? I just tried it and it worked
And as far as the vibrating goes, is "vibrate on screen tap" checked under sound settings??

home+power . Timing is a little more critical than it should be AFAIK.. push power a split second before home and hold both for a second or so.

Thank You guys for that quick reply
The Vibrate thing was just me being stupid and could not turn it back on Thanks lilair and stoopendis, but yea i tried everything with the screen cap and still doesn't work, it used to work fine with just power button and home before i flash. My buddy who also flashed to sky ics and his screen cap worked fine too, he also has the same update.
Geez that's too bad. I gotta tell you though... it took me a while to get the sequence/timing down. I swore up and down it didn't work! But persistance paid off and I have my sc now although sometimes it takes a fee trys.

i know it isnt a fix but i used to use an app called "screenshot" from the app store..it allowed you to shake the phone to get a screenshot
Yea think I will just do Third party app or just flash to CNET just for fun lol

The easiest way to screencap on ICS is press home for a split second then hold power for roughly half a second while still pressing Home.
Yet another issue with my shield but this I can't figure out. I was gaming through hdmi and after i was done i closed the lid and opened it, it would not boot. It WILL charge, the nvidia logo pulses and thats it. Computer doesn't detect it. Still no idea. It is rooted but was done properly and was done awhile ago. Is there anything to do to hard reset or boot the bootloader or anyway to boot like on android phones? Please help! (I will keep updated) Edit 1: hooked back up to tv, it detects signal but it's a black screen.
Hold the power button for 15 seconds. That will hard power it down...

Yep that did it, lol. glad to know that now! Thanks a bunch!
Every time I try to power off my DROID MAXX when it's charging (be it a wall outlet or my computer) instead of turning off, it resets instead. Does anybody else have this problem? When I turn it off, then charge, it stays powered down, but it's still slightly annoying. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
Mine does the same. Power off twice.

Thanks. When I try it later, are you saying should I hit the power button twice or just try again after the first reboot?
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
Try it again after the first cycle.

Thanks for the help. Strangely, now it seems to be staying off on the first shutdown. I've downloaded a task killer and a few updates, so maybe it was fixed in the meantime.

I find also turning it on when plug in an issue. I have to hold the power button for so long and then it skips the M boot animation and goes strait to the droid animation.
Are you plugged into a computer or the wall?
Typically if you're plugged into a computer it won't power off.

I think you're initiating fastboot. There's a bit of a delay, so try holding the power button for only two seconds then just waiting for the normal boot animation.

Running skyfall and faux kernel. Everything was fine until installed this app. Went to reboot as requested then nothing. Powered off. Will not turn on at all. Can't boot into the boot screen. Power cable doesn't so anything,...uh I'm confused. Please help
Hold down your power button for over thirty seconds and report back. I couldn't turn on my phone once, but after holding down the power button for ages, it eventually booted.
If you liked my post, please hit the "thanks" button.
