[Q] Power off completly ??

I can not seem to get my NC to power off completly. I have tried holding the power button for 15 seconds and I have tried holding the power button then hitting the power off completly soft button that appear's.
The screen turns off ... but when I go back later to turn on my NC it was only in sleep mode.
Any thoughts ?

Holding just the power button and the home button until it powers down works for me to fully power down. Sometimes I need to hold both again to turn back on.

Could it be that the Nook is powering on by itself after a power down? I've run into this a couple times so far. As well, for the longest time my 2.1 Milestone had this problem. I would do a full power down, and some time after the phone would boot up by itself. This was later addressed in a small update to the 2.1 that I'm running on the phone.

Mmmmm well this situation would suck. Not sure how to fix this then. It does seem like it is powering down and rebooting itself a bit later .. ?

I only have to hold the power button for two or three seconds, then the power off dialog box appears.

[Q] No Download Mode

I have an i9000 international, and I recently (attempted) to flash Darky's Rom 10 RC6, after flashing it in Odin, my phone started booting. All is fine until after 'S' logo screen. I've tried to get it into download mode frantically, but nothing is working. The 3 button press, not working. I've tried other methods, like removing the battery and plugging it into your computer, then volume buttons, but nothing...
Please help

Are you holding the Vol down + Home + Power buttons together long enough ?

Yeah, I've tried holding them down until the splash screen goes away. Just regularly boots, and then stop holding down power button when the splash screen is up. No luck. I think I might have to just jig it.

It can be tricky, in mine you first have to press home, then on+down, but in order that on goes before down...all other combinations at least in my I9000 won't work, and if it fails, remove the battery put back and try again.

You shouldn't even be seeing the splash screen.
What works for me everytime, is doing it in this order:
Press & hold down the vol-down button & home button, then (while still holding down those 2 buttons), press & hold the power button. You should be in Download mode in like 1 to 2 second. When you see the Download mode, let go of all 3 buttons.

Reset when stuck

Hello is there any way to reset the phone (like when you take out the battery) on the htc one? I was installing a rom and it got stuck

Just keep holding the power button for about 10 seconds and it will act as a battery pull.
If that way doesn't work, for whatever reason, hold power button + volume down so you can get to HBOOT and select recovery. You can then reboot from there.

Holding down the power button didnt work so i was trying out other combinations and pressing the power button twice then holding it down for 10 seconds seemed to work

Can't get the recovery menu to work after update

For the most part, I haven't had any issues with my phone after lollipop. I'm liking the new features and the new pull down quick access buttons. For some reason though, when I boot into recovery mode, I can't seem to get the menu to pop up. I've tried every combination I can think off with the power button and volume buttons but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I've recently had to wipe the cache on my Turbo and the recovery mode does seem to have changed. With the phone powered off, hold the power button and volume down button until you get to the bootloader. Use the volume keys to navigate the menu and press the power button to select. Select recovery and you should see the Android icon laying down. Hold the power button FIRST for about two seconds and then tap the volume up button.
Yes, if you're wiping the cache it will take a long time. Do not freak out! :good: The ETA should be about 20+ minutes.

I've done it before on kitkat and know that it takes forever. The first time I did it though I was flipping out cause I thought it was deleting everything haha.
I did finally get it to come up using that method, and your right it has changed. You have to be really accurate when holding the power button and using the vol up arrow because I was trying that before and never could get it to come up.
Anyway thanks for the help.

After lolipop update it is reversed. Hold power button and tap on up volume... For sure

Note 5 volume button broke stuck in safemode.

Hi my volume button down is broken and everytime it boots it's in safemode.
Whenever trying to access recovery it normally boots up when buttons are pressed.
Booting into download mode freezes it, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing all the buttons.
Volume/power button work fine when in use.
I've opened up my phone to disconnect my volume button it stills boots up in safemode.
I've tried 2 new roms still in safemode.

Hello brother,
Even you flash 2 new roms still booting up safe mode, bad seen
i feel your volume down button was keep pressed maybe,,,,,maybe (it should be b coz of dust or something else).
to be confirm is that your volume button broken or pressed follow the steps below
1. switch on your mobile release the power key and Press again the power key and wait till finish the boot, (if the device get restarted it means we can confirm your volume down button was pressed & hold)
2. press home button & power button check if the device is going to download mode ( if you stuck press power button u will get exit)
how ever try to clean the volume down button inside and pull slightly. after turn on your mobile.
if your damn sure volume button was broken not working at all, then lets think about it
