When my Photon is completely off, it takes 4-5 on button presses to get it to turn on. This only started happening recently. Strangely, there's no problem in turning the screen on and off once the phone is actually on.
Anyone else have this issue? This started occurring to me within the past day.
You have to hold button down for about 5 seconds
Sent from my Photon.
I usually have to hold my power button down for about 5 seconds as well before it'll power on. Nothing odd there.

Heard about this earlier this week. When I hold the power button to shut my phone down, instead of turning off it reboots...
Any one else experienceing this?
Nope. Mine shuts down and powers off everytime. It even says Goodbye.
what a polite phone that's why i'm getting one soon maybe there's an option somewhere that dictates the power button behaviour?
This must be a small glitch..
It happened to me the first two times.
It is becaused you press the button to shut down for too long that the phone also records a wake up button.
Leave the button immediately after you see the goodbye coming and it would shut down properly
So this morning after watching several videos online last night, on my non-rooted nook, the wireless wasn't working.
When I would try and go into the B&N wireless settings screen, it would do nothing (go black) or say that wireless is stalled (do you want to wait or force close). So I forced close, hoping it would reboot automatically.
Well, I tried to turn off the device and the screen went black but the backlight stayed lit like it was supposed to be on for several minutes after I had powered down.
Eventually I got the blacklight off (it might have just gone off by itself), but now it won't turn back on.
The battery was at 30% when I tried to initially power it down.
I haven't tried the power and n button 30 second cycle, because I don't want to lose what I have on it. Any ideas of how to get it back on, without factory reset?
I can remember some other issues like this were reported. I believe one solution was to let it charge a few hours and attempt to power back up. Not sure if this will work for you, but give it a shot.
Plug in Charger (Might wake it up).
Connect USB to computer (Might wake it up).
Hold in power button 20 seconds to power off then power on.
The last option just worked for me for a black screen (Loop?) issue.
When that has happened to me (and it has), I held down the power button for about 30 seconds. Then let the unit sit for a couple minutes. Then held the power button down for about 5 seconds. Eventually, it always started back up.
30 second hold
The 30 second hold and wait worked well. Thanks.
Glad everything has worked out for ya!
Hi guys,
I tried to update my BONE STOCK Prime to the .28 update. I walked away for about a hour, came back and the screen is black, and nothing I do can turn the thing on.
I've done the following.
Held the power button from 2-120 seconds
Held Power Button + Vol Down from 10-120 Seconds
Pushed the Reset button for 30 seconds.
The only kind of response from the tablet I get is a vibration. The screen never turns on.
Does anybody have any other ideas that my get this thing started back up?
Hold vol up and down and power for a short while before the vibraation occurs. Then release vol up and you should be good. May take several trys.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.
Any other ideas out there?
let it drain completely so when holding power button it doesn't vibrate etc.
charge for 5 minutes. does red battery icon come on?
hold paperclip pinhole in for 30 seconds. release. does it boot or is it still black screen.
if still black screen, contact Asus. you may have it stuck in APX mode.
Running stock, latest ota(not ics), with root. Once every few weeks I get a situation where I use the phone, turn off the screen and put it down. Look over a few minutes later and see screen off but realize the buttons are illuminated. If i hit the power button to turn on the screen nothing happens. If i hold the power button the phone reboots. Seems every phone I've ever owned has ended up with occassional random reboots. Just wondering if others experience this to.
So I have a standard vanilla prime except I rooted it to be able to hook up my six axis. Other than that it is as stock as you can get with OTA updates.
My problem is that last night it crashed on me and wouldn't turn on from the power button so I let it sit overnight figuring I'd deal with it the next day. And today it's not booting up. I have tried charging it, pressing and holding the power button for 10 and 60 second intervals, and holding the vol down button with the power button. Nothing is turning it on. Thanks for any help you can give.
