So 5 minutes ago I was using my M8. The screen turns off. I tried to reset by holding the power button. The charging light doesn't come on when plugged in, but the reboot sounds work. Nothing is responding. What should I do? and has anyone else had this problem? My screen is just black.
try power and volume up buttons for 10 secs.
I did volume down and power while connected to a power source for 10 seconds and it worked. I was pretty scared. Haven't seen a screen go blank like that in a while.

Power + volume down and up, can take up to a minute.

Forces reboot. Similar to pulling the battery if we had that ability.

So its the same as holding volume up AND down while hitting the power button?
OK.
I thought maybe volume up by itself was doing something different.

I am having a major problem with my 8.9. I put on a live wallpaper but once I realized it was slowing the tablet performance, I tried to remove. I guess I pushed to many buttons and now the darn thing will not turn on. Any suggestions??

Hi there, please enlighten me how did you get it to work again?
I too changed to a live wallpaper and after a couple of minutes the device just shut down and now I cannot get it to start again.
(have tried pressing power for many long seconds and minutes, both holding and not holding volume rocker buttons, to no avail)

You can try plugging it in to the socket, and holding down the power on switch for 15s.

The above worked for me., Thanks very much!
Any idea how to fix a frozen screen?? I was moving an app from one screen to the next and it froze on that part. Now the device seems unresponsive. Holding power buttons or volume rockers does nothing.
Anyway to fix this?? Or should I just wait for the battery to die.
Thanks guys/girls

Usually Power + Vol Down or Power + Vol Up or Power + Vol Down + Vol Up
Try each of those and hold them for at least 10 seconds...should reboot.
Just hold power

Usually holding the power button for 10 seconds has the same effect as "pulling the battery" if needed.

Same thing has happened to me, twice-first when I first was going through the set up, no response until multiple reboots, was able to set up device. Again today on fully set up N7, unless i rubbed the screen repeatedly then it would change desktops and "refreeze", until multiple reboots via holding power button down, then the device finally worked ok-hopefully a driver issue.
Phone started acting weird today. It's not rebooting. I press power hold it nothing happens. Power menu doesn't come up I can't do screen shot either lol. Power button does turn on screen and off tho. I tried holding power for a longer time but still no responding. ****er doesn't want to reboot or turn off. Anyone knows what system app controls that? Maybe I can force stop or something.

I HATE Aroma installer. didn't touch the screen and install is hung.
holding down the power button until the capacative keys flash does nothing.
Any other key combo to force a reboot?
EDIT:
adb reboot does nothing either device not found
Power + VOL down for about 10 seconds.
nothing

Not holding it long enough then. That's "battery pull" button combination. It can literally take 10-20 seconds. The buttons flashing is a good sign.
EDIT: Timed it on my phone, exactly 15seconds.

You're holding both Power AND VOL down together, right? Not just power.

Huh, it's always worked without fail for me.
Congrats then, you get to wait until your battery dies.
try just holding power until screen goes off then volume down until in bootloader. may take a while but it works ive been in far worse situations with this phone but it always comes back. starting to think this phone is really hard to brick. all in one toolkit is a lifesaver if your not using it you should be. if you have a problem getting into recovery use it and if recovery starts then reboots or closes back to bootloader erase cache with all in one toolkit the boot to recovery
Define a while. Ive held the button down while lights flashed 200 times. It won't turn off.

where are you stuck at? download all in one toolkit and see if that has something that will help you. it saved me a bunch of times already. if the phone turns on or is on your okay. its just frustrating sometimes when you think you might have ruined a $600 device but as long as its on your ok no need to stress

just hold power+ volume down if it doesnt reboot after a minute let go and try again. or you could try all in one toolkit for your carrier to reboot to bootloader. trust me ive been stuck in aroma countless times there is a way
As I've said, adb and fast boot don't see the phone. I'm just going to have to wait for it to die.

If you've held the buttons for around 40 seconds you are going to just have to wait for the battery to die happened to another person. One other thing count the flashes after 20 release and then hold again and it should reset at 15 flashes if not then you are going to have to wait for the battery to die. Good news is after that the other person was able to get back to recovery and didn't have the problem again.
still nothing. Hope it drains down completely over night. I need to be able to get the thing up and running tomorrow
As an Evo owner I was shocked to hear the correct procedure for that phone was pwr + VOL UP AND VOL DOWN yes all three at the same time. I assumed vol up and vol down could not both be selected at the same time because they were on a rocker switch where, if one side is low, the other must be high. But it turns out you could do both. Is the HTC One like this?

back up and running. battery finally died. Flashed stock boot.img after a recharge and all is well.
I'm swearing off of aroma installers from here on out.
Had the same problem also today. But I did not give up to try pressing power + vol down. After several attempts the phone finally restarted.
You're more patient than me I guess. I worked at it for more than an hour and a half.
well...this kinda ruined my night yesterday...I went to a concert yesterday around 8 and my phone had 70% and I was checking facebook or something like that and without no notification or warning it froze and turned off on me. I figured it was a normal freeze..and I attempted to turn it back on and nothing happened. Went to my car to try to charge it and nothing. Not even a charging light. A day has passed after the concert was over (could not take pictures, thanks htc..) and now the "dead battery symbol" comes up and the orange light keeps BLINKING..to my understanding it means that it is not charging? What could it be..anybody could help me out .maybe a soft reset? no charging it for a couple of minutes?
Anything would help. Thanks..:crying:
Possibly try holding the phone under a light and press the power button?

Mine froze up on me last week during a power cycle. I had to hold the power button about 2 mins (if not longer) before it finally responded and rebooted. I was getting my coat to take it back to the store, holding the power button the entire time, then bang, the white screen with the HTC logo finally appeared.
Not a good feeling ?

Also try holding power and both volume buttons.
I had a random freeze up and that was the only thing that worked...could have been a fluke but it's worth a shot.

+1 for that method. I had a freeze up and that's what I did to get out of it and reboot.

You should be able to hard reset (not factory reset) with just power and volume up, hold for 15 secs. That's how I got out of a broken recovery screen.

Trust me I tried every combination of buttons I could think of lol.
I actually thought it bricked, took me like 5 minutes before it finally booted to bootloader.
