I do not own the phone, it's one of the two phones I'm deciding on. Other is Galaxy Nexus. Now I know it doesn't happen very often, bit if you like to fiddle around with your phone, like I do, it happens. When the phone freezes, none of the keys are working, what do you do. Normaly I just pop out the battery and restart the phone but since Razr has build in batterie I gues thats not an option. What do you do in those rare occasions? Does it have a phisical buton to restart it?

I haven't had any freezes so far but this method only worked 9/10 times on my evo 3d so I'm still a little suspicious that this will work for every freeze...

Don't compare apples to oranges. Use both vol buttons + pwr button for about 10 seconds. This does work...i've had to do this.

don't know 'bout funny but all you had to do is type "how to reset droid razr"
and click the very first link..
It works because, differently from the EVO3D, the RAZR has got a working hardware watchdog.
Question about holding volume down and power
Is this reset with holding the power down along with the power button the same sort of reset as if you just hold the power button down and then a window pops up giving you the option to power off the phone. is the volume down and power more for if your phone freezes?
thanks in advance
Its when the phone freezes and no buttons or screen will work.. i had it happen a few times on my old razr and vol down and power button for 10 secs did work

I'm not saying it doesn't work I'm just a bit suspicious that it will work 100% of the time because I was told for my old phone, which I understand is a completely different phone, that a similar method would work 100% of the time and that battery pulls were unnecessary but there were a couple times out of like a hundred when it didn't work and I had to resort to a battery pull. It worked the vast majority of the time, but not every time, which is why I'm a little dubious...hopefully we'll find out soon!

hi all,
after using task29 my system is now pretty much down. it's stuck at the htc screen as described in various threads an tutorials. usually this problem could be solved by using the bootloader (pressing volume down an power) i guess.
BUT:
Bootloader is not loading at all! i tried all variations of pressing an holding the buttons. the phone just vibrates once and a black htc screen appears...thats it. hard reset by holding all 3 buttons doesn't work either.
has anybody experienced this problem and found a way to solve it?
by the way: i was running goatrip 4.9 an had severe battery drain. so i decided to do it all new from scratch by using task29....went kind of wrong
please excuse my poor english!
yours, gamble87
any ideas?
after using task 29 you have wiped youre phone so it wont boot!!!
take youre battery out put it in hold volume down and keep holding and just press the power button dont keep holding the power button just press it.
What 3 buttons to hard reset!!! maybe you should of read up a little bit more first mate
believe me i've tried that a thousand times now . holding volume down and holding/pressing power (tried both). i also tried with and without being connected via usb. even tried with leaving the battery out a whole day and then reinserting it. no success....
with all 3 buttons i meant volume down + volume up + power button. at least this is what you read in the forums and see in various tutorials on the tube to do a hard reset when you're not using the sense menu...
i've been searching this forum for about 10 hours now...everyone else is able to manage this problem by getting into the bootloader, but not me. in fact this exactly is my problem, it just won't load....maybe theres a hardware problem...volume buttons broken perhaps. i really don't know
i'm trying to describe my problem as good as i can but i fear theres only a little left from what i learned at school

thats not how you hard reset.
There is no situation where you hold power.
To hard reset
Press, hold and keep holding volume UP and volume DOWN - you may find you get a much better press by removing the battery cover.
Tap AND RELEASE power, DO NOT keep power pressed.
I will repeat the part about removing the battery cover to get a better press, and also add that pressing first one violume, then the other also helps, rather than trying to press them both together.(Its one piece of plastic is the volume rocker, it isnt really meant to be pressed at both ends) Press one end till you feel the click of the button connecting, and then press the other end, till you feel the connection, and only then TAP AND RELEASE power.

Crap, right. I missed that. Not sure what to tell you at this point aside from returning your device (if they can't get into bootloader either and cannot hard reset it, then they can't fault you for a custom rom). Just play real dumb if/when you return it.

Hmm, i think you have tried everything. Getting in the bootloader is the key. If you cant reach that spot there mate, i think your phone is dead. Try sending it to HTC for repair.
gingerbread, ah finally, i start installing it on the PC, go to undo the super charger.
well, i didn't get that far. I got stumbled at *clicks power button, holds power button, begs power button to do something*
*rips battery out, puts back in, holds power button*, resultless
*puts charger in tries to start phone up, once with battery, once without*, resultless
*writes down time of death 4:00pm threw 7:00pm based on last call*
*starts crying, throws phone at wall* - > this is what i will do if i get an answer saying i'm stuck
MY DROID X2 IS DEAD(i think). well that's dandy
I ROOTED MY PHONE 2 days ago for bloatfreezer.
(i froze safe stuff like my Verizon and whatnot)
problem = IT'S ROOTED AND UNABLE TO TURN ON - > i know this sometimes voids warranty
{the green light comes on when charging, i just literally can't turn the phone on}
can i really just return it like this and demand a new one, -or if there's a fix-?
I'm extremely grateful to any advice/knowledge on what to do
Try powering up while holding the volume down button. Try it with the charger plugged in and without. If Fastboot appears at the top keep pressing volume down until you get to android recovery and press volume up to select it and try factory resetting. If it works you'll lose your data but at least you'll have a phone.

Have you tried to SBF your phone? You might still be able to get it to connect to RSD.

dead5hea i figured that wouldn't work at first, as when i plugged it into the charger it kept rebooting to the eye and then freezing even when i had the volume button down, but on vaguely the 20'th attempt it responded to it, i did a recovery and now everything is dandy *excluding the apps are gone but at least the contacts are on gmail*. I wondered if it was out of juice but it was 70% on recovery so who knows, i hope it doesn't happen again.
thanks bud =)
-not to be rude(kinda is anyway) thanks for nothing lancer, take a guess before a bump, i put the top in green and then the problem in caps to express that it was extra detail.
So my Xperia S just now completely froze up while playing 9mm.
Touchscreen and hardware buttons are all unresponsive, holding down the power button does nothing and since my battery is near full and my brightness maxed I'm worried about damaging the screen by just letting it run out of juice. Strangely the game is still running, just nothing works.
I looked for a physical reset button but its nowhere to be found..
How can I reset my phone?
Edit: Allright so after about 20 minutes or so the phone magically became responsive again and is functioning normally for as far as I can tell.
Nevertheless, I'd still like to know how to reset it should a need for it arise in the future.
Try this:
hold standby and volume up for five seconds and the phone will reboot.

Thank you!
Press on standby button and volume up button at the same time really works to reset the phone!! Cool~~!
Worked fine with me...
Thx for the post and the helpful answers.
It worked well with my SXS.
Pressing the button combination actually turns off the phone; you then can turn it on/ reboot it normally.
Thx a lot, M.

When my phone freezes (it happens more than once after the last firmware upgrade) I presso power button and volume up to reboot.
Pressing both volume buttons together is a BAD idea!

According to Sony, holding the vol up and down buttons together and pressing power until you get 3 vibes is the same as removing the battery.
Usually it takes about 10 secs first a single vibe and then about 5 secs later 3 vibes, but under some circumstances it can take up to 20 seconds on my phone at least.

Have need help , please help me, I can't reset my phone .
So I recently got a replacement DNA from verizon, but I'm not sure if it's a refurb or not. Anyway, I left my phone for like two hour today on at least like 70 percent charge, and when i came back the screen wouldn't turn on. When i hold down the power button, the three LED buttons flash, but nothing happens. I tried plugging it in, but the charge light indicator won't even come on. Just making it clear, my phone is NOT rooted. What do i do!
I would go to a Verizon store, and ask the rep for another replacement. If the issue gets worse email HTC support @ HTC.com
Hope this helps.
Did you try like pressing and holding the power button until the lights flash AND it vibrates ? If not, try that, like next.

Isn't verizon supposed to test the device to make sure it fits the precirtifed stuff. I that's poor customer support and if that's the case I would request that they credit your account or provide you with some kind of benifit

Hi!
I am rooted, and was running Android Revolution HD 13.
Tried to install KitKat 4.4 and the status was aborted. I saved a back up in recovery. I entered a boot loop once I restarted the phone. I thought, "No problem! I'll just get into my recovery!" But every time I hold the Vol Down + Power button, nothing happens. It simply shows, "HTC: Quietly Brilliant" and the developer disclaimer at the bottom. Any ideas?

When your at the HTC boot screen hold the power button and both volume buttons.... You'll see your button lights flash like 10-15 times and then it will force shut down your phone. Once it's completely off try booting into recovery again.

So are you thinking theirs some other miracle answer to your question ?
it's a fact that holding down the power button plus vol down till you see the blinking lights (around 10 seconds)
then let off the volume it will shut off, just keep trying.
