anyone knows?
Yes, how ?
And I want to know if the phone isn't responding and the power button not responding also, how to power off it, because we can't remove the battery for this

Press power + up button and hold for > 10secs and let go when you feel triple haptic feedback.

this one certainly something to try.
" Try restarting your phone by removing and reinserting the SIM card "
Thanks for the tip.
Anyone know how to hard reset (as in factory reset without booting the phone)?
Is there no accessible boot-loader on the xperia s?
Just to add that the methods shown above are just to force reboot/power off as there is no removable battery
Cheers

fastboot erase userdata
If the phone is stuck you can power it off by pressing
Volume UP + Power Button for 10 seconds
If you keep pressed keys for 5 more seconds it will reboot vibrating three times.

Hi All,
I have a Zopo ZP900. Unfortunately, My kid tried too many pattern attempts, WITH OUT a data connection.
I tried lot of ways to get the phone unlocked but Could not do it.
Can any one help me out to get rid of this? My phone debug mode itself is not turned on...
Thanks a lot...
With regards

If u dont have umportant data on it u can do a full wipe using the stock recovery
1 close the phone
2 press vol up + power or home + power or vol up +home + power to enter the recovery
3 using the vol buttons to choose and home key to select , select wipe data/system format and choose yes
4 reboot and you will found that the lock vanished but every thing is wiped (this won't affect the sd card only the system memory

Dear Sammyroid,
But even in that I have a problem. I could not get into that Factory mode. This ZP900 had only 3 physical buttons. Nothing works so that I can choose the option. I am able to only move up and down using volume control. The home and power button are not working.

I also have Exactly the same problem....(i dont even know what this tablet's model is...it just shows up in the Android Market as J-Q8B)
1) It only has two physical buttons (Power on/off button and Volume key up/down) so there is NO "home" button I can press
2) It also doesn't have any "reset" hole I can poke into and get it to reset or something
3) Cant remove the battery also coz it doesnt have any screws I can open up to take out the battery
:,-( I am screwed....I think I just found myself a "new door-stopper" and/or paper weight.
Is there some other way around this?
I too faced this problem on my karbonn a9+ .... I gave to service centre and they repaired and gave back in 5 days :-/

Since you have forgotten both pattern and your Google account details then only way is you have restore your phone to factory settings that means all your apps,contacts and setting will go only SD Card will be safe.
1.Switch off your phone.
2.Keep holding the power button and home button together.
3.It will go to recovery mode.
4.Then search for factory reset or something like that.
5.Use Volume Keys to navigate and Home button to select.
5.Select that factory reset thing and then wait for some time it will format.
6.Restart your phone.
7.Your phone is back
I Hope this was useful for you

You'll lose all your data when you reset, so you should back up first.
Obviously you can't back everything up since you're locked out of your phone, but if you connect it to your PC via Samsung Kies you can at least back up your contacts without unlocking the phone.

while the phone is booting up
Remove the sdcard
Go to adb and type
Code:
adb pull /
It will backup all the things on your phone
Not sure, but what these guys said that factory reset is the only way isn't completely true I think... There's a way of bypassing the security lock and removing it completely, as long as you have root:

My phone was perfectly fine this morning had no problems until I got out of class and was listening to music while it was plugged up to the car where it rebooted which happens but now I can't get it to stay on 5 seconds without doing a reboot. It also Can not find service and the NFC is freaking out what do I do? I also get system is not responding. I am on the latest version and it has not been rooted.

Option 1
open up the microSD slot.
locate the little red button.
Hold it for 3 seconds (this will hard power it off)
Then hold power for 3 seconds to boot up.
success?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Option 2
Do a factory reset (you'll have to be quick, but after 5.6 times you'll get there)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Option 3
Plug device into PC, and run PC Companion and do a restore.
That will fix it.

Yes. Both options 2 and 3 will delete all user data. You can make a backup of user data using PC companion. And then restore this at a later date.
But it sounds like the reason for your reboots is a conflict. restoring user data will probably give you the same error.

So you have plugged it into PC Companion and done a restore?
Then on your device, (Ultra)
go into settings,
then find backup and restore, and then do a factory reset.
That will delete all user data off.
If it still does it then there must be a hardware issue with the Ultra.
You could try flashing an FTF file, but that will only reinstall the OS like you did with the PC companion.
Take it back to the shop and tell them.

I am on complete stock, no root. I tried the safe mode boot suggestion and it worked for me. Press the power on/off button on the side of the phone, until the Power off/Airplane mode options appear in the centre of the screen. Press and hold the first on-screen option (Power off), then the safe mode menu appears. I had no idea the menu was there until I tested it. I didn't boot to safe mode, as my phone is working fine, so it was unnecessary for me to do that. The option is definitely there though.

@cratosgow Yes there is a way to hard reset your device.
1. Pull battery out from the phone. Wait 10 seconds. Pull it back.
2. While holding POWER UP + HOME SCREEN BUTTON press POWER BUTTON (so all 3 together). Wait until it turns on with the NOTE 3 screen. Stop pressing all buttons.
3. You are now in recovery mode.
4. Navigating with VOLUME DOWN BUTTON go to wipe data/factory reset and press OK (POWER BUTTON). Do the same and press YES. Wait until done.
5. Do the same but with clear cache partition.
5. Press ok for reboot system now.
6. You are done with HARD RESET.

That helps a lot
I feel stupid as i hold volume down and not up ... Moreover i read a lot of thread saying the same that you but I was stuborn with volume dowm !

I am not sure of the exact combination for your device, as it varies for every device. Either Google search how to boot your model into recovery, or just try different combinations. Power+volume down or up, or possibly all 3.

Do you have a "wipe cache partition" option in recovery? If so, try that as well. I must admit, this has me a bit perplexed. Since the only thing you've done, is a factory reset, there's really no reason for this error.
