I was using my phone (43% battery) listening to music using the castbox podcast app when suddenly the music stopped and my phone completely froze, nothing worked not even stand by, i held down the power button to restart it but it just turned off and would not turn on again, i then left it and after around 10 minutes i see it has turned on, to a white google logo with a grey background (never seen that before) i hold down the power button again to try and restart it but it then just turned off again and wouldnt do anything regardless of what buttons i pressed (power/ power + volume up/down) i have plugged it in, still nothing, and nothing when pressing buttons while plugged in.
any one got any idea what could be wrong or how i could fix this?

Welcome new XDA member.... first post? Many threads on this topic. Have you held the power button down by itself for several minutes? Were you having ANY battery issues leading up to this? Can you boot to Recovery? Are you running TWRP?

Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
Hi
Today, I suddenly can't swtich on my Nexus 7. I am sure it still has at least 20% battery. And when I charge it, the screen doesn't display anything.
I was listening to the music with the screen off. And I unpluged the earphone due to a phone call. Then I came back after 20 minutes. I can't switch it on.
This has happened to me once. In the previous time, it had 30% battery. But I wasn't sure if I listened to music and did anything. It was OK after about one hour......
Anyone has the same issue?
Still can't switch it on. Is it bricked ????????????????????????????????????
finally, got it back to work again. By trying to do a recovery boot (vol up + vol down + power button). And first time, it didn't boot. Then press the power button again. it boots up my CyangoMod again. hahahahahaha
hope this would help other ppl
So the other morning I wake up. I grab my tablet off the charger, click the lock button, and notice it was off. I figured it must have crashed overnight. I hold down the power button, and it doesn't turn on. I try again this time holding it down longer. It then turns on, but as soon as the lock screen shows up, the screen freezes and I can not do anything. I hold the power button down for an extended period of time, but it turns off and wont reboot no matter what. It wont charge (I assume), it isn't recognizable by my PC, and it won't turn on. I have no clue what happened. This happened randomly. I doubt it matters, but I'm running a CM11 based ROM (I think? Haven't changed it in a while, can't remember) and I have no clue what Kernel. I also noticed that the power button doesn't click as "nicely" (can't think of another word) as the vol. up and vol. down buttons. Could the power button be stuck? Any help or will I have to return it to my warrantor and start over? Thanks in advance.
I've had my phone less than 2 weeks. Woke up this morning, woke up phone to check email and browse facebook. Clicked a video to watch. Tried to turn the volume up. Hit volume rock up once and volume goes all the way up like I was holding it down. Same for volume down. Ok weird. Went to restart phone and held power button. Nothing happened. Apparently power button has stopped working. Waited a while and kept playing on phone. Power button starts working again. Restarted phone. It came on with the volume adjustment at the top and wouldn't go away. Power button unresponsive again. Thoughts? After googling, I feel like i'm the only person this has ever happened to...
My wife woke up this morning to an unresponsive phone. It's been on the charger all night.
The screen is off, and the led blinks blue about every five seconds.
power+volume keys has no effect - neither power + vol down nor the standard recovery- or download mode combinations, even holding down for half a minute or more.
The phone hasn't even been flashed - it's still on the original ROM.
Never seen this on any Galaxy device before, I'm completely clueless.
Have you seen this before? Any ideas on how to force it to power down?
Thanks!
force restart is power button and volume down for 10 sec if that's not helping you have a broken phone.
Thanks. As I wrote, force reboot didn't work.
But it seems I was wrong - it did work, but I had to hold the vol down and power buttons pressed for over a minute!
So problem solved, for now.
