Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Something just happened to my phone where the touchscreen actions went a little crazy for a second or two and then the Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore.
The Volume Up button still works though...
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to turn off or reboot the device without using the power button?

Volume down, power and home button. All 3.

Thank you!
Actually, I found in this case holding down Volume Down and Power caused the phone to reboot. I wonder if something got stuck...

It happened to me as well and I found some article which said to hold power +down button for some time and it will reboot

[Q] need help making backup for epic

ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.
Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.
Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.
Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset.
Hope this helps.
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??

When the phone is on hold:
Power
Camera
Volume up
Volume Down
It will work believe me..
Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..
If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.

no it doesnt it can be on and you can hold both volume rockers, camera and power and it will take you to clockwork with out power off..
But yes your way works with the phone off..
For Sh*ts and giggles I thought I'd try both methods mentioned here and yes they both work.

[Q] Button Combination To Enter Bootloader?

Hi everyone
Whats the button combination to enter the bootloader while the phone is off? I tried volume down and power several times but it just boots up normally. Currently I have to use ADB to enter the bootloader every time.
Same as Galaxy Nexus was. Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. All three at the same time.

Just tried it. Doesnt seem to be working for me.
I hold all three until it vibrates, but it just boots normally.
do it this way. press volume up and down first and while they are still pressed, hit the power button
Nope for some reason it isnt working for me.

Holding down all buttons?

What does holding down the volume buttons, along with the power button at once do to the phone whilst the phone is on? Anything?
I tried to take a screenshot. Worked it out that I only needed to press the power button and down volume key though.

How to boot in to recovery mode?

First Moto device coming from Samsung Galaxy S4. Thanks.
Sent from my Droid Turbo 2 on Tapatalk
with device off keep pressing power and volume up for a 3-4 seconds until recovery shows up.
What worked for me is:
Press and hold volume down and the power button
Use volume rocker to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot and you will see Andy on his back.
Press and hold power button and then press volume up.

Is the phone powered on or off initially with your first step?
Power off and then do those steps

6T Will not turn on

I was updating the apps on my phone and did a reboot. The device powered off and now I can't get it to turn on. I tried holding down the power button for 20 seconds but nothing. I have it plugged into a USB C cable now. I tried holding the power button and each of the volume buttons and nothing. Does anyone else have any suggestions.
yeah call oneplus and get a new replacement coming
Hold power + volume up. I had the same issue yesterday.

Thank you so much! I tried it before but I guess I was not holding it long enough.
Why does it happen.
