Today whilst I was out shopping I went to listen to my music which started fine then I tried to go back to the home screen whilst the music was playing (I have done this numerous times without any issue) and without warning the music stopped and the phone 'froze' I tried to hold the power button to force it to shut-off but it didn't work then I tried the soft reset (Vol Down + Power) but that didn't work I then tried vol up + power also didn't work, I avoided the hard reset (vol down+power+camera) because I was not at home and didn't want to muck anything up so out of chance I tried Power+Camera and within 10secs it was rebooting. The funny thing is I cannot find anywhere that explains what Power+Camera does so does anyone on here know?
I have this as well. While listening to music the phone will freeze completely. On mine, however, it works with only pressing the power button. Hold it for about 10-20 seconds, and it reboots.

Then maybe when I tried just the power button I didn't hold it down long enough and then when I tried with the power+camera it ignored the camera button and only registered the power button and that time I held it down long enough for a reboot

That's possible. I have never tried power+camera. Don't know if it is a key combination with an actual meaning... (With meaning I mean for example power+vol up+camera = hard reset)
Just had mine go that was downloading Zune music and playing at same time. Hold power off for 10 seconds and reset good as new.

ok so I was trying to do the tweaks for my new touchpad, and I hadn't got very far and now for some reason I can't power my device off? the power button works for locking and unlocking but holding it down does nothing. the only real step i got to was powering my device on while holding the volume button which didn't do anything, except apparently now I can't power my device off..
any ideas?
try holding the home+power button for 15 seconds, after it resets try to restart.

thank you sir!!
no problem man
Awesome! I was in the same situation.
I have a TAB 10.1, that WONT turn on, and WONT charge, I don't have the receipt as I have received it as a gift, however Samsung took it for repair AND DID NOT REPAIR IT ! Very disappointing!
Is there any other solution to fix it, when I plug it into the computer still nothing...
Please get back to me guys, need your help, thanks
did you tried holding the power button a little bit longer?
It happens from time to time. Just keep it charged and try to turn on from time to time (sometimes holding the button for multiple seconds). Eventually it will turn on. It's the standby of death problem.

yes, I tried everything, holding power down for up to a minute, holding power and volume up and down, also holding the power button while touching the screen, still nothing...
Try connecting to computer.
Or maybe its Sleep of Death issue. Search for it. you will get solutions like draining your battery completely.

Did you try Power button, then volume down button (only, don't touch the power up) for 8-10 seconds while still holding the power button, then letting off the volume down button? It always works for me.

After Rebooting the HTC Radar yesterday, it reboots every time in "Serial Mode". There are some options on the Screen like APPSBL, Image SRC and Factory Reset". Every time i long press the Power Button, it comes back to this Screen. Today in the Morning i preset Power + Volume Down + Camera Button and it boots up normal. All Data are there, but i cant use the Hardware Volume Buttons anymore. If i press this Buttons, nothing on the Device responds.
Does anyone have a idea, what i can do? The rest of the Device seems to work ok.

Now after some days, they work both. First only the volume down, some days later, also the Volume Up. I think there was some steam in the shower which disfuncts the buttons. but thx for your suggestion.

Naaahhh...! its a job.....! just keep your phone away from moisture.....!
Hey guys wondering if anyone experienced the phone being basically bricked without actually unlocking, rooting or anything.
It has happened before one, just laying on the table and the phone turning off but it came back on after a while.
Today it occurred again but has not turned back on for two days. When charging the only light is the LED flashing constantly every second. If I hold the power button and volume up then the flashing of the LED changes pace to One long flash (1 sec) to two quicker flashing ones (.5 seconds). If I unplug it and plug the phone back, The LED flashing is back to the original constant pace.
When unplugged sometimes holding the power and volume up button initiates the LG logo and then turns off and then shows the logo once more and then turns off for good.
If I plug this into the computer, its like someone ejecting a usb and plugging it in like a maniac. I heard the connecting and disconnecting sounds from windows nonstop like as if its about to blow up.
I've tried holding the power button for a minute the same goes with different combinations with the volume buttons.
The only thing I haven't tried is opening the phone, kind of afraid I will mess it up. Any solutions?

Never heard of this but I can throw a few suggestions out. Try unplugging, then holding both Volume buttons and the power button (All three) for about 10 seconds. Try different USB ports.
Try this if all else fails: Source: http://cellphoneforums.net/lg/t348484-perform-master-hard-reset-lg-optimus-g.html#axzz2YPtvkfDk
To Perform a Master Reset via Hardware
1. Turn off your device.
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the Volume Down key as well as the Home key at the same time.
3. While both the Volume Down key and the Home key are held down, press the Power button.
4. When the LG logo appears, release all the keys.
5. Scroll to and highlight wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.
6. Scroll to and highlight Yes – delete all user data by pressing the Volume Down key. Then press the Power button.
7. As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Volume Down key to scroll to and select wipe cache partition. Press the Power button when ready.
8. As soon as the wipe has been completed, press the Power button to select reboot system now.
9. The master reset should now be successfully completed and your LG Optimus G should restart.

I have no idea, when I plugged it in and check device manager, its constantly refreshing as its connecting and disconnecting the phone very fast. Is there another way to check

Anyways, doesnt matter guys thanks for trying, decided to just go in att and buy a samsung s4
Hi all.
I have a phone Samsung 920I not "L"
OK to start from the beginning. I am new to this and followed steps from watching Channel48 on YouTube. Not blaming him it's just so you have an Idia of where I got my info from.
Instlled Odin
I installed twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img and it didn't work.
I then found twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img and installed it over the top, Now works when booting into recovery.
I then installed 920F Samsung recover file that was only about 25Mb in size and got my phone working again.
left it for a day then tried again.
Installed twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img with Oden. works
Installed: EvolutionX_4.1.69_zerofltexx-10.0-20200331-0232-OFFICIAL Works I was happy Looked at "About" and it now says my phone is 920F :/ Andoird 10 cool it works so who cares if it says 920F right!!!
I then booted back into Recovery and Installed: open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200228 and that said it successfully installed and I swiped to restart the phone.
My phone powered off and that's where this ends.
I have tried holding the power button for about 30sec and nothing happens I tried plugging into the charger and it doesn't respond to show it's charging
Is there something I can do now or is the phone dead This is my main phone as I love the Samsung S6 over the rest because it has the main buttons, not on touchscreen and IR so I can use the phone as a remote.
Thanks
