Anybody knows what's wrong and how do I solve it? Here's the entire story (if it helps):
I went to Play and updated my apps. I press and held the power button and selected "restart". (I restart my device regularly) However, after shutting down, it does not boot at all and no matter how many times I press the power button it just wouldn't boot up!
I tried charging it too. Nothing happens even after plugging in.

Can you get to the boot loader, if so, try to wipe data from the recovery within the boot loader.
Or else leave the battery to drain fully , this will solve your problem and the tab will boot.
This happened to me couple of weeks ago and draining the battery solved this issue.

May I know how do I get to the bootloader? I can't even allow the battery to drain. The problem is it is not even starting at all. I pressed the power button a million times and NOTHING happens at all, the screen didn't even turn on.

You can get to the boot loader by pressing power button + volume down at the same time.
try it.

Nope. I wish it did.
Try to hold the power button in about 4 or 5 seconds. I doubt it'll do anything. It sounds like there's a problem with power button or hardware.
I had a thrive 7 before I got my gtab 7.7 and my first one I exchanged because of a problem identical to yours. It was very sketchy to power on.
Exchange or warranty if you can unless someone else has any ideas

Only alternative left to leave it till battery drains, if you can remember the battery percentage before this happens, otherwise i am out of solutions.
A service center would be an alternative choice.

I decided to give it another shot a minute ago and it miraculously worked! I have no idea what's wrong or what caused the positive issue but am happy that it is fine now. Thanks guys!
Hi everyone, i could do with some help.
I was messing around with my nexus erilier today and found the "Simulate Secondary Displays" tab under the Dev tab, so i was having a look then it decided to freeze and has not come around since.
I have tried to lock/unlock the tab but to no avail, and as you can not get to the battery on the thing, i cant take that out.
Any help is very much appreciated.

if you're ever in a boot loop, or stuck on the google logo, long press the power button until it reboots and press/hold the volume down button at the same time to get it into the bootloader, then chose the recovery option
Hi, I just picked up this awesome device (T-Mobil D801) and am getting ready to flash some of the newly arrived ROMs. I come from a Galaxy Nexus, which has a removable battery. Many times when flashing ROMs on the GNex the phone would not boot and would freeze--my only remedy was to remove the battery and replace, then reboot.
How does one recover from a similar situation with the G2 if the battery cannot be removed? Thanks in advance for your help.
Either hold power or power+volume down

The way is Hold down power+ vol down, after LG logo appears let go of both buttons and press them again. U will be presented with hard reset option, confirm it with pressing power button

If the phone is frozen the first thing you want to do is turn the phone completely off. To do this you hold the power down for approx 15 seconds. At that point it should boot. There are a few different button combos you can use at this point.

I don't think you really mean hard reset. You just mean power down and turn back on. To me, hard reset is deleting everything ala factory reset.
The other guys have it nailed on the head. Just hold down the power button for a long time until it turns off. Same deal with most non-removable battery devices. iPhones are probably the same, I know the Nexus 7s are, etc. Just hold it down forever.

Greetings fellow geeks.
i have a problem with this i9500..
it was working fine, suddenly it resets.
it keeps resetting every 4 seconds.
won't let me go to recovery.
i can go to download mode. but it won't respond to volume button, and resets after 4 seconds.
i have a custom ram on it.
if i place a battery back in, it will power on and keeps resetting every 4 second.
what should i do?
Maybe your power button stuck in? But if you can enter download mode then not I guess. You can always flash original firmware if you haven't necessary data on it.

Ok sorry my friend, read that you can use download mode well. I think there is something with your power button. Did you drop your phone? It shouldn't reset every time in every state, that looks like hardware failure. You can easly open your phone with little screwdrivers, but you will lose your warranty. If your power button is broken you can always order new ones from China, I did it with $1,3 (power and volume).

100% your power button is stuck. Try to wiggle it lose or replace it.

TNX mate.
if i may say something, the button isn't stuck.. it's pretty clicky and sounds like working fine. is it possible the cause is coming from something else?

No it's your power button for sure.
I had that issue with my S3 LTE. It is indeed the power button since it does exactly the same that my did, try to use some alcohol in a swab and pass on the button (let it penetrate the button area, next click several times to try to clean the button from inside).
Good luck.

I have the same problem with my i9505, I always fix it like this:
1) remove the battery
2) let the phone rest w/o the battery for min. 10min
3) put the battery in and try to go in recovery
4) if you can wipe cache and try to turn it on
If the problem happens again:
1) remove battery
2) short the pins like this x/-/x/- , then x/x/-/- and then -/-/x/x (x is the connected pin) with something that conducts electricity like a metalic ring or high resistor or s/t
3) do step 3) from the previous one
(Anyways what you do is that you drain the capacitors in the phone, and on the power button, that capacitor is the main problem)
If that doesn't help, then try to leave it w/o the battery overnight
EDIT: well that is not a permanent fix, the fix is probably that you need a new power button, or in the worst case a new phone
I think I have completely bricked my 6t and i am not sure if there is anything left to try.
This is my last hope.
Phone has 2 states at the moment. Either boots into a screen that says qualcomm crashdump mode attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000b complete_and_exit and the dead android no command screen. I cannot shut it off, and the computer even tho it has the drivers of the phone installed, sees it in device manager as qualcomm usb diagnostics or something but that is about it.
I have tried using commands but the phone isnt recognized as connected. I tried MSM tool but it also doesn't see the phone.
Therefore what I'm left with is a phone that doesn't boot in any usable interface, and also the phone isnt recognized by pc. My understanding is that it's dead but if there is anything I can try please let me know.
Thanks!
If you have Qualcomm Snapdragon processor tool with OxygenOS that you're looking for (whatever's going to be is up to you, there are two flavor of OxygenOS recovery images, by the way), all you have to do is to make sure that the phone is totally off, then hold down Volume Down button without powering on the phone, and plug it into the computer, you will get QUSBLOADER message in the device manager then launch the tool after the driver is installed.
That's really much it but beware, you will lose the data, unless someone else know how it really works can advise you on how to skip the /data wipe - the phone will protest due to dirty flashing, of course.
I have bricked this phone three times. LOL Third time's always a charm to me. At least it's hard to really brick it as long as you have the right tools.

The problem is the phone is stuck on rebooting and it never shuts off no matter how much ive tried. I dont care about files or anything like that I just wanna be able to fix my phone. I was trying to format it back to stock OS anyways so ..
Did you hold down the power button and volume down button for a while? It basically force it to power off immediately (just like with the PC, only the function is a bit different). Once it shuts off hard, let go of the keys immediately so you don't accidentally turn it right back on.

Ive tried every key combo and every single one reboots it no matter what I do :/
I see. I will test mine to see what works. I am curious about this particular bricking situation.

Did you try Power button and Volume up button? It does take a while to halt the phone (it took four seconds).

yes. I have tried vol up + pwr, vol down + pwr, pwr, vol up + down and nothing. all reboots or just no response.
Strange. I will try to figure out as it's also supposed to be built in the bootloader (I am already familiar with how the Snapdragon processor bootloader works). This is definitely strange and should not be expected.

Well maybe I did something that messed with it?
Currently the phone is responsive to buttons I press and such it's not 100% dead. But also it doesn't have anywhere to boot it seems. So it's stuck on this qualcomm crash dumb screen thing. And also while that is a thing, I can't access it from my computer to flash things on / in it... sooooooo
edit: I also did search on how to force shut off and I seemed to only find force reboot combos and no force shutdown for the 6t.
Qualcomm crash dump? I will take a look at how to get it to stop and drop to EDL (emergency download).

You might have using it wrong he said try pwr+vol up can you boot to fastboot?
Try to hold both volume buttons to force it to boot into Fastboot mode, it should work when the phone freaks out and reboot.

Okay let me be a bit more descriptive so that it makes more sense:
Holding vol down + pwr until screen goes black then release: 1 sec of one plus logo, screen of "bootloader is unlocked" notice, black screen for a sec, flash and crashdump mode forever.
Holding power button until screen is black reboots and goes back to the above ^
Holding pwr + vol up until vibration: gives me the above ^
There was a combo that gave me the no command dead android screen but I'm not sure what it was now.

Try hold both volume buttons at the same times before it reboots, and not pushing the power button (you don't have to), and keep holding them down until it vibrate and the bootloader indicating Fastboot Mode, then let go of the volume buttons.
