My wife has a Pixel 3a XL, and in the last 2 weeks it has just shut down unexpectedly, refusing to power back on. The battery is charged, and connecting it to any charger makes no difference.
The only thing that has fixed it all 3 times is by removing the SIM card and reinserting it. Then magically, pressing the power button, the phone boots up like there was never an issue.
The 2nd time this happened, which was just two days ago, I tried powering it back on with the SIM card removed, yet it would still not power on. But as soon as I put the SIM back into the phone, pressed the power button, it powered back on. I'm thinking the issue is maybe with the SIM, but then after this test, shouldn't the phone have powered on with the SIM card removed?
This is very confusing to me. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Major problem!
I've had 5.0.1H for the past several hours; no real problems. I just applied the new HTC radio update, restarted the phone, and like always, the battery image came up, asking me to remove the battery.
I did this, turned back on the phone, and it's still asking me to take out the battery. I've done this about five times, and nothing's changed. I've tried booting up with the camera + power buttons, as well as the home + power buttons, but it's still telling me to take out the damn battery. Any help?
If it helps, I applied the "Saphire-Radio-Update (rc33).zip" update from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ .
Um... does it look like this:

If so, that's just showing that's it's FLASHING your radio, do NOT remove the battery! Let it finish or you'll risk bricking!

Wow; close one. For some reason, I just always assumed that meant take out the battery. I don't ever remember leaving it in before, although I guess I've only updated the radio once or twice, so I can't be sure.
In any case, I left the battery in for about thirty seconds with it powered on, and it formatted and started up fine. Thanks for the help! I feel kinda dumb now.

Hi guys,
Been on CDs for a while as a guest running ARHD Rom on my sensation.
Got a bit of a problem, when I got in from work today, my sensation fell from my sofa on the laminate flooring. The phone seemed to work until rebooted it. The sensation is displaying "insert sim card to phone".
I have rebooted it a few times, factory reset, sim card in and out and even a small bit of paper on top the sim to ensure contact and its still not working.
I am starting to think its hardware related which means sending it bk to HTC.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.s. I gave taken the ad whilst trying the above. I have not reflashed the Rom yet as I would not think its software related.
Many thanks
Wad

Hi,
I recently purchased a replacement USB port part for my Nexus 5, as my original one had a bad connection on the port which made charging very tricky.
The new part.

I followed a Youtube guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqCEXEmcj4Y
I did as was instructed, the only thing being an issue was that fitting the ribbon back into this port was a little tricky. (see the circled image below).
Put the phone back together. Powering on I feel the phone vibrate as if its powering on, but there isnt anything on the screen.
I hold the power button down to turn it off, but I dont get any vibration indicating it has force powered off.
Ive opened it all up and checked the work ive done, but still the same issue.
I thought it may be the new part I put in, so I swapped it for the old one.
Im concerned now that the port that i had to fiddle with to connect may of been damaged (although i was very careful). Or is there a more simple explanation where I need to connect it to a computer in an attempt to bring it back to life?
FYI I have just tried the vol keys and i can hear the vol change sounds. I may take the opportunity to back things up now.
Is it possible to do a factory reset without seeing the screen? I have a lock pattern that I obviously cannot see now either.
All help appreciated.
Thanks
Hello friends,
I have a hardware related question to ask.
Is this a faulty power button??
I bought 3 of this phone, so I can compare between them.
One of them had the power button slightly sinking into the phone body.
(# 3 is the one with the lower level of the power button)

}
All 3 of them are functional "NOW", but I'm worried if the #3 button will further sink into the machine "in the future", and at that time the warrant might have expired, so I will have to pay for the "wear and tear".
If this is likely a possibility in the future, gonna request a new one exchange.
Thanks
#1 : blue
#2 : bronze
#3 : black
Mine is almost completely flat too, pretty much like your #3. Nothing to worry about I hope
