Hi, this is emergency. My phone hanged/froze when I was using Instagram. None of the keys are working. Is there any combination that can restart the phone. Sorry if this is a repeated thread. I searched the forum and found a solution intended to Xperia S i.e. pressing Power + Vol up buttons. But it didn't work on Xperia U. Thanks.

just pull out ur battery and put in again, then power on the device.
I think XS got their key combination because their battery unremovable
I dont know if vol up + power will work for you. Try it

I heard somewhere pulling the battery when the phone is on might cause serious damage. that's why i'm thinking it as the last option.

Hello guys. At first i´m so sorry for my bad english, so i´ll show you a video of my problem.

It will not go to sleep mode when pressing the end/power key. But it still takes phone OUT of sleep mode, but now I have to wait for the screen timeout instead of pressing the button again.
I tried to find answer to my question, but i failed... I tried Reboot, Spare Parts - i don´t know if it worked properly, Hard reset, but the power button still not working properly.
Thank you! Marty

Try to restore your phone to the default, or try to install a custom rom

Now i did a ROOT and i try to flash in some ROMs but it still not works + it cancels my outcoming and incoming calls...
Sounds like you have a failing power button.. like I do.
It's a real pain in the ass... been looking for solutions for quite a while, besides physically replacing the circuit board the button is on...
I know this is old but for anybody researching the same problem... after trying MANY different apps for taking over power button tasks, the only real solution was to buy a replacement "Flex Cable" assembly on eBay. Takes some bravery to install but everything works now.
But that's just my experience.
I suppose that the simplest way out id button remapper that you can find hear at xda.
By using such software you can easily turn any of the other physical keys of your device into the power button.

True, and they did work once the phone was up and running. However, when something went wrong on my rom and I needed to get into recovery to re-flash... I was SOL.
Yes, remapping is applied only after the kernel is loaded... So remapping is quite useless if the phone is switched off.
Most of non-removeable phones provide key-combination reset.
For example,
===============================
iPhone = Lock +Volume+Home (3 keys Long press)
Galaxy Tab = Lock long press (about 8 sec)
===============================
But, no one knows about Razr reset key combination.
What combination key make a Razr reset?
As we know, android and all os are non-stable.
So we should know RAZR reset key.

Please hit thanks if i was of any help (it'll only take a sec )
That's the first question i asked after price! Lol
This is what I've been told. I didn't have any issues so i didn't required a reset.
Combination = sleep/wake button+volume up+volume down
You need to press all three buttons at once and hold down (abt 10sec)

Thanks for that but my question would still be... are you sure if this would work at any point while using the phone... be it the initial dual core screen or when its booting up or when its stuck somewhere during use... i think thats what ppl are worried about because at times the battery pull is the only way...
I think on all samsung devices holding the power button for like 10-15 seconds resets the phone but a few times on my SGS during a bad install and i was stuck in the DOWNLOAD option, only a battery pull solved it... nothing else...

Thanks for your answer.
Its perfectly reset worked!!
Just to clarify, it is Power button + Volume Down only for 8 Seconds to reset. Don't need to press both volume buttons.

When I use the key combination on my new Razr, I get a screen that says fast boot, and
Device is Locked. Status Code 0
Battery OK
Ok to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
but I cant select anything or move forward. Any thoughts?

You held down the volume button as it booted, and entered fastboot mode. Do the same thing again, reset the phone with the power +vol down buttons, let go immediately after the screen goes blank.
thank you for this info
let me try to clarify....
Possible combinations:
Power OFF:
a) power button (1sec) = normal boot
b) power button + vol down = fastboot
Power ON:
a) power button + vol down = shuts down
??
To fastboot mode: hold POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN
Battery pull: hold POWER+VOL_DOWN

well thats what it literally means... the way some posters here are talking, literal is not always the correct answer

ps: whats "cba"? no, i dont know what you "cba".
Hi all
I just suddenly has a black screen for my Razr android , I had to press the power button + down volume key for 10 sec but there is no result?
what shall i do?
please
thanks
Is there any indication that the phone is,working? Any sounds, any vibrations? Otherwise its most likely a dead battery or a dead screen.
Open it up and check the battery connection? (not sure,if it voids,any warranty)

thanks you all, but I am really feeling disappointment as I have transferred to Android and getting these error which I believe should not be there, i am probably will get back to my previous phone if that happen again.

Why not? What happens? Sorry need more info. What rom are you using? Is the option there?
I'm in stock KERNAL and stock ROM, but rooted
cant screenshot,
in power menu only power off and Airplane Mode
and silent , mute and sound option
SEARCH before you post.
Enough discussion about it.
Power button + Volume Down Button, press at same time. If it doesn't work, you're doing something wrong, try again.
I tried it several time,it is not working
if it is still not working, then your power button / volume down button might be broken
you can try to take screenshot from power menu, but first you must install this mod first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747546

Bro, What I know Vol up + Power will reset ur device what ever the condition is,
Hold Vol up + Power and i'm sure they will work, my friend's Xperia sola had similar problem and fixed with this, you may need to hold button up to a minute
And more of that, for it dosen't work always. You may need do it several times to get it rebooted
Also, I Belive your phone just gone into deep sleep, something similar Xperia z users, Xperia z users fixed it using the method above
Edit:And hey, I searched Google for you and a guy fixed it like that!
Another edit: a guy had it working after 54 seconds of holding buttons, I wonder why it takes all that time by the way...
