This is NOT a Whine thread, I simply have a question.
Since I own the Nexus S and I'm willing to spend 300 Euro on the new Nexus 4, I have a question about modding.
When there was a hickup with cyanogenmod on the Nexus S, the phone was in a bootloop or something else,
I could always remove the battery to restart the phone and get into the bootloader, in my case CWM.
Now since you can't remove the battery, how do I "shut down" the phone without being able to remove the battery?
I'm no Professional in this field like some of you guys, so sorry for the silly? question
Thx in advance
Hold down the power button for a while to force shut down. Try it on your Nexus S.
been holding it down for a minute on homescreen, nothing happening :-/

I think that only works with the new nexus devices as they dont have removable batteries and nexus S does, as for holding the power button for long time would the equivalent of taking out the battery if they had one that could be removed, at least thats what I understood

I can do it in sgs, freeze etc hold power for 15 sec and its going off

Quick question: what happens if you had a nexus 4, and one day you flash an unstable kernel, and you get a boootloop? There's no battery to pull out, so what would you do?

As far as I know you can hold power for 5-10 seconds and the phone will reboot, and then with the correct volume key it will enter recovery/fastboot/whatever.

Huh.. really? I never knew you could hold power during a boootloop to stop it

For phones with non removable batteries there is always a button combination that triggers a hard shutdown.

HTC One X: Hold power 10 seconds, reboots, press volume down and you enter recovery.
HTC Desire GSM: Power, Volumen down, Trackball pressed.
A few examples.

Even with a removable battery you can shut/reboot your phone by long pressing the power button.

When my galaxy nexus freezes, nothing works until I do a battery pull
What happens with non removable batteries? Always been my biggest fear, is there a shortcut? Hold down a button?
The are times nothing works but a battery pull for me.
Thanks

It will have hold power button down, much like the Nexus 4/most other phones with non-removable battery.
Like an iPhone you hold Power/Home, etc..
Nothing new don't worry .
Anyone who has done much flashing of custom roms knows that every once in a while, you gotta pull the battery to stop bootloops or other nonsense. What do you do in the case of having a non-removable battery? I've been wondering this for a little while ha
Long press power is like disconnecting the battery.

well the ONEX has an unremovable battery too so you just hold the power button for 10 seconds and it will restart as if you pulled the battery, so i think the ONE will be the same
Awesome, thanks guys
IMO, thats better than a battery pull. How often have you had a nice case on your frozen phone. It's a 5 second battery pull that turned into a nice 1-2 minute hassle. This is awesome when your on a time constraint and busy at the same time.
After seeing the information from the S4, I am happy to say the HTC One will be my next phone when it is released.
Seriously, even with Sammys just holding power is better then a battery pull.

Word, basically why I am not fretting over the battery situation anymore.
I haven't had my s3 battery out in months and been through 2 OTA updates as well. Just reset phone, done.

Hello XDA,
I just got my Nexus 10 a few weeks ago, and since now it never completely ran out of battery.. However, now that it did I see that when I try to start it up even after a few hours of charging it just shows me an Image of a battery slowly filling up.. Right now, the battery is full yet the tablet still won't start.
I am wondering why would Google make me have to fully recharge my tablet every time it runs out of battery?
its a joke ?
you are not pressing the right button for power on
hold the power on button longer till the device wakes from that screen !
and pray

So this has been happening from like 2 months I got a Nexus.
The power button becomes periodically stiff and has to be pressed hard, 2-3 times sometimes to wake the phone. Currently on Purity+Stock kernel. Is it a kernel undervolt thing? Or should I go to service centre while it is still covered(but that would mean rolling back, unrooting,bleh!)?
Thank you!

Most likely a hardware issue. Nexus power button is kinda easy to broke. :silly:
Either way try changing the kernel back to stock first and see how it goes.

Use a custom ROM with "Volume rocker wake" feature so you don't have to use the power button to wake the phone.

Is it a second hand device? I had my Nexus 4 since Jan 2013, and the power button became less responsive after precisely 1 year. *insert warranty conspiracy theory here*
I am thinking of getting a pressy-style device as a replacement power button from xiaomi. (Yes I know it's a knockoff, but it's many times cheaper and has an actual release date.)
It is a first hand device.
I'm trying different kernels atm. Will also try s2w!

dude if u have warranty go to the service center
im also having the same issue but my warranty period is over
for me no
I have more than 1 ayer with mine, and it's still great
nahh. I think I'm all alone. but hey same problem here mate. but currently using volume rocker wake :silly:
Mine too
I have this problem too. I´m using volume buttons to wake it but i´m afraid of this problem getting more serious and end up not working at all...
Mine was bought in November 2013 so I´ll take it to the service I guess.
What do you guys think, do you ever heard of any dead power button?
thx,
can you imagine?
dead power button?
what if the device got hang?
cannot access recovery and what so ever?
this is pretty dangerous for those who r kinda flasholic

If the rom has "volume rocker wake" does it mean i can use the volume buttons to power on the phone when it is powered off?
I am running a ROM with active notifications and coupled with screen off in the notification drawer I hardly ever need the power button. My button works fine but I have a launch day device and don't want to 'press' my luck ?

I don't mean wake from sleep though. I mean to power it on from a completely powered off state (for example when it reaches 0% battery, it turns off completely. Then you charge it back up and turn it on)
