How to power-off (for real)

I just received my DHD and as soon as I inserted the battery, it powered on by itself. I plugged in mains for a long charge cycle (I don't want to use it while charging).
I want to power off for real but it seems that when I press the power button even for prolonged time, it just goes to standby. I want to charge it while powered-off. How do I do this?
I didn't have the chance to play with Android before so here I am asking easy questions I guess.

Try with this:
Tap the power button on the upper side of phone for few seconds, then you will see on the screen new window with three possibilities - power off, aeroplane mode and restart. Choose power off. Then you can charge your phone.
Other possibility - work/play with your phone till the battery is fully drained and the phone will switch off itself.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

go to settings applications and disable fast boot

Thank you all. That's what I was doing but I guess that the screen was locked and it didn't work. As soon as I unlocked the screen and performed this procedre it worked. I just didn't want to start working with the phone until it is fully charged and that's why I was trying to switch off without entering the phone.

If you don't disable HTC Fastboot you phone isn't really off, just hibernating.

Good point but I had to go through all setup steps until I am able to configure this setting. Anyway, I was planning to leave the phone charging untouched for several hours but I guess that wouldn't be possible.

My phone boots back into clockwork recovery even when fastboot is disabled.

Apparently the DHD uses the recovery to display the charging LED (orange or green), so when you replace the recovery with CWM attaching the charger when the phone is off will start CWM.

[Q] Nexus 4 shows wrong info about battery

Hello everyone! I will try to explain my problem as briefly as i can. Last Friday i was replacing headphone jack, and before this i put away battery. After replacing i sticked battery back to phone and tried to turn it on, but caught bootloop. I put away battery again, and sticked it back, and after that wasn't able to turn my device on with turn on/off button, just with turn on/turn off and volume down buttons. Now i can turn it on normally, but there is a huger issue with battery. It drains faster now, sometimes phone can turn off with no reason, and Nova Battery Tester shows sometimes +10c and after just 10 seconds temperature can become +60. Is it an issue with battery or what? Everything working good except battery.

[Q] N7 only detects power when diplay is on???

Hello! I am running cyanogenmod and Timur Rom on 2012 N7. I have tasker to detect power on and power off but here's my trouble..
The N7 will only detect power when the display is on!?!?!?!
If the display is turned off or times out or is locked and I give it power, the display doesnt turn back on automatically. I turn it on manually with the lock button on the side and the battery shows no charge coming through.
With the display still on, i unplug and plug the power back in and it works fine!
I tested it on the PC. PC detects the N7 fine and sees the HDD. Even with the display off, the PC will detect the N7 and I can explore folders but the N7 still receives no power until I manually turn the screen on and unplug and plug the charger back in!
This is preventing me from doing the car dash install because I cannot depend on the N7 to turn on display automatically because it does not detect power with screen off. Only with screen on!
I have went through all settings a million times, tried every 101 troubleshooting step, and I cannot figure it out.
Please, please, please help me figure this out. It's driving me crazy! :cyclops:

Nexus 4

My device fails to remain switched on. After some while it switches off. Sometimes it seems something like turning on wifi toggles it but not sure. I have tried both soft and hard factory reset but still there was no use. It heats up a lot due to continuos loop of on/off. But when I switch it on, it is not completely switched on and somewhat stops in the middle of the process. It turns on only when I connect to a charger but within half an hour It heats up a lot. The battery is not drained when I switch it on. Also when once switched off it does not switch on on its own. So, i feel its not a hardware issue. Can you guide me regarding the problem with my device-LG Google Nexus 4.
My device when on stand by mode works fine but as soon as i start working on it it switches off. Like as soon as i turn my wifi on on handset it switches off. When I try to switch it on it is stuck in the middle of the process and i am unable to switch it on. Later when I connect it through a charger It does get turned on but heats up very quickly in half an hour, I have tried both soft and hard factory reset. When the phone switches on the battery level is same as that before it was switched off. I feel it is not just simply power key issue or power drain issue.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ not turning on

Hello everyone.
My galaxy s10 plus isn't turning back on all the time.
WHta i mean to say is that once the phone turns on, it works perfectly fine. But once it is turned off, it does not turn back on. Previously once a while it used to turn on after sometime. Now may be once a day it turns back on and that too when power button + volume down are pressed together.
I somehow managed to flash the device through odin to the latest firmware but still the problem persists.
Any combination of keys doesn't turn on the device now.
May be if i'm lucky, it turns on by power down+volum down but it takes me into recovery mode and when restarted from there, phone doesn't turn back on.
Nothing happens if i try to charge it. It doesn't charge. It takes in power but then stops and this repeats forever (checked via the device which shows the current drawn).
Any clue what's goin on with the device?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hardware damage requires repair or replacement of a component depending on the economic calculus. No tips will help, as someone familiar with the device must open it and inspect it.
