Did you try power down plus volume down at the same time? Or is there a reset button in the micro SD card slot?

Holding the reset button for 3 seconds is like pulling the battery. Once you've done that, you then hold the power button to power it back up. Will always work unless the device is dead. It happens from time to time. But if it wont power up then its a warranty issue.
this happened to me a couple of times back...
I tried doing factory reset (wiping out all data) the phone still acted up...
then i noticed that my album had issues loading up photos and videos i saved on the SD card (I'm using a 64gig Micro SD). I had about 20% unused space left on my memory card.
I removed the SD card and the the phone stopped acting up... i decided to remove some of my heavier files out of the SD card specially movies... and problem stopped...
Occasionally I would experience this... Now all I do is re-seat my memory card and the phone would act normal again....
Weird, I also just had this happen... I have a blinking white notification light, so I put it on the charger a little while ago and see what's going on. I'll try the SD card thing if it still refuses to turn on. Have never had an android phone just crap out like this, makes me nervous...
OK, weirdly enough, I picked up the phone about a half hour later and the screen turned on fine, back to normal. No idea why this happened.

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.

It Works!!
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.

I had this problem my xperia s. I did panic for a little while. I ended up taking the back off, just rubbed the phone to warm it. Tried to switch the phone on, it did eventually. Then plug in charger straight away. See if it boots enough to start charging.
I try to never let my phone run out completely now. Not sure if it's something to do with battery stats.
Hit thanks if helped.
Cheers,
Lunar.

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.

Have you held the power button for 20 seconds once the 3 lights start flashing? That should force it to perform a reboot

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

Was in the middle of installing a new rom today and was having some issues with the data on the Carbon ROM. Got that fixed and data came back and before I could reboot into bootloader the phone just shut off. There was over 50% battery still left when it happened. Now it will not turn back on. I've tried the normal vol down + power for at least a minute with nothing. I've also tried vol up + vol down + power also did not work. I've also tried all of that after removing the sim card. Literally nothing happens at all with anything I try. Is there another method to reboot that I don't know about? Am I bricked?

Sounds like a brick or hardware failure. Maybe try a jtag unless you have insurance and can get it replaced. Josh from mobile tech videos on YouTube is good and of it is a brick he can fix it for you.

This has happened to me twice now. I don't believe it has anything to do with the ROM. Verizon replaced both mine s-off and all. If your not getting a charge light they can't turn it on either.

I have also seen this issue resolved when someone disconnected the battery and then reconnected it. If your comfortable with opening the phone to do that it's worth a shot.

this just happened to me. just turned on max volume on CF 9/17.
So I've been using my phone as per normal, and it suddenly switches itself off and wont turn on.
If I plug it in to charge (the batter was at 40%) I just get a blinking RED LED.
Any help / ideas guys?!
Try to press volume up and power in the same time. If it vibrates 3 times it should start normally...

Hi Fenix
Have tried that with and without a charging lead connected and no joy. The red LED just continues to blink.
Have also tried, again with and without charge, to press the red button next the sim card slot and no luck.
How about volume down and power?

Same result.
Planning to leave the phone OFF charge all night and see if that helps, and then maybe do the opposite and keep it ON charge for a few hours maybe.
Any other advice?
Have you tried a system reset
(you can use sony PC companion to do this)
(repair device)
I have this same problem.
I have reset and re installed the rom via pc companion and same problem.
Basically the phone will not charge via the magnetic connector at all.
if you switch off the phone it will not stay off, it keeps turning its self back on again and boot looping: displaying the sony logo, then off, then sony logo again.
If you hold the power button down for 20 seconds whilst on a Sony logo, the phone boots to the experia logo and boots normally.
Problem is the phone will NOT switch off and half the time it wont come back on. Its basically a lottery on whether the phone will come back at all.
Update - managed to get the phone switched on after leaving it on charge all night. Had to hold the power button down for 30 secs to get to my home screen as otherwise it was just looping to the Sony logo.
However, now, the phone is not charging - it detects that a charger is connected but the battery level is not going up and the LED is constant orange.
What to do?
I would flash a.2.69 firmware if you don't have it already.

I'm a newb with these things - is there link for how to flash?
Not sure if it makes a difference but this phone is from Vodafone and I believe they've locked the bootloader or something similar?
Also noticed that the phone 'thinks' its still charging even without a charger connected - and the orange LED is constant.
Looks like the battery is kabooshed?
I think u should give the phone in for warranty.

Adding to the above.
Received my Z2 on O2 onFriday 2nd, Tried charging it this morning and red charging light was on then started flashing.
That was trying to charge via a usb cable to the magnetic contact.
Re tried using standard usb cable.
Will not start regardless of what I do, on button, on + volume up, on + volume down.
Trip to O2 after work tonight to take it back.
May be a problem with the magnetic charging system, somehow shorting something out, for me anyway.
Same here, Need to return it to T-Mobile.
Same issue,
Went Off, never to be able to turn the phone on again.
When connected to the Charger, the red light blinks faster.
When connected to USB red blinking led, blinks slower.
Does not go 'On' anymore.
Recovery from pc compannion does not work.
The Update tool send by the sony technical suppport also did not recognise the device.
Windows does not recognise it.
Volume Up + power does not work
Volume Down + Power does not work
Volume Up of Down (phone turned off) connecting with USB does not work.
Red button next to the sim card does not reset the phone.
It is a Brick now, hope sony is good and replaces it with a NEW one.
