When my galaxy nexus freezes, nothing works until I do a battery pull
What happens with non removable batteries? Always been my biggest fear, is there a shortcut? Hold down a button?
The are times nothing works but a battery pull for me.
Thanks

It will have hold power button down, much like the Nexus 4/most other phones with non-removable battery.
Like an iPhone you hold Power/Home, etc..
Nothing new don't worry .

Very true and not a big deal, most phones will be going to this. It is completely new battery tech too. Lithium Polymer instead of Ion. Much longer lasting, so 2 years of trouble free use should be no problem. Hell, Im going on 3 years with the original battery.
omg that is worst thing , if the phone freeze we need to wait untill battery die. if we install custom rom and it wont start we need to wait untill battery die to enter recovery image ,

No, like the HTC One X it will have a "kill switch". Which is usually holding power + vol down or similar.
I'm sure you can power it off by holding down the power button if the phone freezes.
People thought the N7 battery wasn't replaceable until they started popping off the back and it was just attached with a connector.
For all we know, those two Torx screws near the microphone will allow us to remove the back.
PS: Stay in school, james300.
This wasn't that hard to find.

Non removable battery

This is NOT a Whine thread, I simply have a question.
Since I own the Nexus S and I'm willing to spend 300 Euro on the new Nexus 4, I have a question about modding.
When there was a hickup with cyanogenmod on the Nexus S, the phone was in a bootloop or something else,
I could always remove the battery to restart the phone and get into the bootloader, in my case CWM.
Now since you can't remove the battery, how do I "shut down" the phone without being able to remove the battery?
I'm no Professional in this field like some of you guys, so sorry for the silly? question
Thx in advance
Hold down the power button for a while to force shut down. Try it on your Nexus S.
been holding it down for a minute on homescreen, nothing happening :-/

I think that only works with the new nexus devices as they dont have removable batteries and nexus S does, as for holding the power button for long time would the equivalent of taking out the battery if they had one that could be removed, at least thats what I understood

I can do it in sgs, freeze etc hold power for 15 sec and its going off

well on my gs3 and my note2 holding the power button just restarts the device.
Quick question: what happens if you had a nexus 4, and one day you flash an unstable kernel, and you get a boootloop? There's no battery to pull out, so what would you do?

As far as I know you can hold power for 5-10 seconds and the phone will reboot, and then with the correct volume key it will enter recovery/fastboot/whatever.

Huh.. really? I never knew you could hold power during a boootloop to stop it

For phones with non removable batteries there is always a button combination that triggers a hard shutdown.

HTC One X: Hold power 10 seconds, reboots, press volume down and you enter recovery.
HTC Desire GSM: Power, Volumen down, Trackball pressed.
A few examples.

Even with a removable battery you can shut/reboot your phone by long pressing the power button.

Anyone who has done much flashing of custom roms knows that every once in a while, you gotta pull the battery to stop bootloops or other nonsense. What do you do in the case of having a non-removable battery? I've been wondering this for a little while ha
Long press power is like disconnecting the battery.

well the ONEX has an unremovable battery too so you just hold the power button for 10 seconds and it will restart as if you pulled the battery, so i think the ONE will be the same
Awesome, thanks guys
IMO, thats better than a battery pull. How often have you had a nice case on your frozen phone. It's a 5 second battery pull that turned into a nice 1-2 minute hassle. This is awesome when your on a time constraint and busy at the same time.
After seeing the information from the S4, I am happy to say the HTC One will be my next phone when it is released.
Seriously, even with Sammys just holding power is better then a battery pull.

Word, basically why I am not fretting over the battery situation anymore.
I haven't had my s3 battery out in months and been through 2 OTA updates as well. Just reset phone, done.

I pre-ordered the Sprint G2 variant & am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Earlier today, after flashing a new beta kernal on my Note 2, it decided to freeze & lock up. In such a predicament, typically my last resort is to pull the battery & reboot. It made me wonder: Not having previously owned a phone with a non-removable battery, what are one's options with the G2 in such an instance?
Hold the power button
This doesn't always work on other phones with that functionality. How is the G2 different?
It is my understanding that this is a forced action with non-removable battery phones. It is hit or miss with removable ones though.

Yes it does. it's like a kill switch for the battery. no matter what fails, holding that or specific button combination will kill it and do a hard reboot.

Umm... no, it doesn't. As I said in my post above, my Note 2 has this hard reset functionality upon the long press of the power button. I can tell you from personal experience that there are certain instances where
Oops, hit submit by accident. Anyway, as I was saying, this doesn't always work with my Note 2 and other removable battery devices that I've had freeze up in the past. I'm wondering if it may be custom ROM/kernel related on those devices but again they all had the capability of a removable battery. Not trying to be argumentative, I just know that the long press of the power button hasn't always worked for me in a freeze/locked state on those devices.

there is no way to remove the hold power button function, as it's buried deep inside the phone and is non-reliant on processes or the android system
