So i was just messing around with my phone and I pressed both vol up and vol down, then power to wake the phone up and it vibrates once.
About 20-30 seconds later it vibrates twice fast.
What the heck is this
Btw my phone is on during this

it's true, my batt life went from 79% down to 6% in 20 minutes.
Interesting. I tried it just for the hell of it and vol + & - then power caused the one vibe, after I unlocked I was going to say it didn't do anything but about a minute later it only gave me one vibe.
Wonder what this is for....

How come when I power off and turn phone back on(no battery pull) and hold vol. Down, the phone boots instantly? If I turn the phone off and just press power and let it boot it takes about a minute to boot.

This happens to me on occasion just because im impatient. When u power off the phone even though the led light and screen goes blank it takes a minute to fully power off on its own without battery pulls or fastboot checked off. If you try to volume down power before it fully shuts down then thats when it boots back instantly. The reason is the phone hasn't fully powered off.
I pressed the vol up and down at the same time. My tablet then made 5 vibrations blinked the yellow light once. Now it will not turn on. Does anybody know how to wake this up again? I hope I didn't brick it. It was turning itself off at will. Sometimes during the boot, sometimes after 10 minutes. But most often it would only stay on for 2 or 3 minutes and then just shut down. One time it said battery was low. I have charged it so that my battery is full, and I am stumped. What needs to be done to get it working again?
What did you do to it prior

Ok, so here's another question. If it won't turn on , how do you know the battery is charged? Have you tried to access it via ADB?
HTC
I sent this in to HTC, they said no warranty because it has revolutionary on it.
I am the second owner of the tablet. I would like to return it to original if that is possible. I have not tried ADB. When I connect the tablet to the computer via USB I do not even hear the connection note I used to hear. So I think when I hit both up and down volume I put it into a deep sleep. Or like I said it is frozen or bricked. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I think this is going to be a really tough one.
It just responded again!
I just got it to vibrate 5 times again now I have it plugged into a wall charger and have a green steady light. I am going to leave it alone and hope someone can help me from this point. It has not done a thing for 2 days so this is really good news, maybe there is hope.

Try pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds?

Now, press and hold volume down and then hit power. This should bring you to HBoot.
It does not do anything
I pressed the power button held in for 10 seconds and then held the vol down button and then pressed the power. Nothing at all. Plugged the power back in and the led was orange for about 2 seconds and then went out.
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 .
Last night, for no apparent reason, my EVOLTE decided it didn't want to turn on.
I hit the power button to turn on the screen and got nothing. It was odd because I should have had plenty of battery so I held the power button down and still nothing, except the capacitive buttons flashed a few times.
I figured something happened and my battery drained completely. Got in the car and plugged the phone into the charger and didn't even get the orange charging light. Waited a few minutes, tried to power it on again, still nothing but blinking lights.
Then I just decided to hold the power button for a really long time. Lights blinked, then stopped. I kept holding the power button and still nothing, set the phone on the passenger seat (all this time it was plugged in about 15 min) and out of nowhere, boom, it starts booting up.
Once it booted up completely, everything was normal and I had 73% battery. No way it would have gotten to 73% in 15 min if it had drained completely.
Still no idea what happened.
Hopefully someone can help you that had the same issue but its definitely uncommon.

Are you running stock or a rooted ROM, dev ROM, etc.? If stock, you might be in a handset replacement scenario. Sprint can run diags on it.

Power button + vol down will go to bootloader.

I too have had this happen a number of times since the OTA update. I'm stock, non-rooted.
Very annoying to have to wait until phone decides it's going to turn back on.
I just had this happen for the first time to me right now. So far hasn't turned back on.
It happened to me at the first few weeks. I tried all combo's, not sure which one worked. Try holding all of them down, I may have just started button mashing towards the end.
I am stock unrooted and took the OTA.
I did try to boot into bootloader which also did not work.
Glad (not really) to hear that it has happened to others. Thought about taking it to Sprint, might still do that.
Anyone else that had this issue take theirs to Sprint for diagnostics?

No, it was power and volume up. I am on the phone so I don't want to search, but holding those together got my phone back.
That happened to me with fast boot enabled, holding power button brought it back. I don't use fast boot anymore lol

This same thing happened to me. Turned the phone off to take it out of my defender and wipe it down. When I went to power back on nothing. Plugged into power and got no led. I had fast boot on. I now have fastboot off hopefully I don't run into this again. But I agree I am somewhat happy to see this has happened to others since the OTA. Btw I am stock unrooted.

I need some help, my evo powered off and my power button is not working. Is there any way to boot it up in a terminal?
If its turned off, then I don't think so. What happened that it turned off? Did you run the battery down? Did you try to s-off and semi-brick it?

While charging it it should turn on within a few minutes of taking a charge. Hold the power button for 60 seconds. Keep trying to turn it on. Do a combination with the power button. Kind of mess with it a bit. That's how I got mine to turn on after that happened to me.

The power button doesn't work at all and it doesn't power on when charging. I bought a replacement power button flex cable ribbon so I guess I can just wait for it to come in

Yeah, I guess. I've never had a power button die on me -- usually it's that the charge isn't enough to turn on the phone, which means I'd have to wait for it to charge for a while.
Sorry we weren't more help!
