I have a rooted Note 2 and sometimes I get into a situation where I need to pull the battery. Since I would not be able to do this with a G6 how would I get out of freeze-up situations? To me this seems the main reason I would not want any phone where I could not pull the battery. I hope, however, I am wrong.
all you need to do is press and hold the power button on the middle right side of your Galaxy S6 and the volume down key, simultaneously for seven seconds.

Not had to do it yet though

No worries you can force restart it by pressing and holding the Power key and the Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds
Thanks for that information. The G6 will be back on my listed as a potential new phone.

Is there any way to build an application that doesn't allow the user to turn off the device unless you swipe the fingerprint?? I'm talking in case of stolen phone
i think that might be difficult because holding volume up and power for 15 seconds hard reboots the phone even if it's locked and eventually the phone's battery dies...

I know but assume the thief doesn't
Forget about holding the volume button can we do something like that.. and about the battery I can track my phone before it dies.
was also thinking about this, would love someone to be able to do this
Hi,
My Galaxy S3 shuts down by itself randomly. When it is shut down, it doesn't starts up by pressing power button. I have to take out battery and reinsert it and then press power button to start my cell. it happens even when battery is more than 80%. I think this problem is occuring when I goes to an area where mobile jammers are in place, but not very sure.
Can any one help me for the solution of this issue.

Have you a custom or simply rooted rom?
Are you sure you "long" pressed the power button to force the reboot?
Ps for a lot of time and unknown reasons I had your same brick when taking photos with flash: it completely shut down with black screen becoming completely unusable.
I think it is a custom rom. its firmware is I9300ZCLLB1.
I pressed power button for 10 seconds but in vain. Whenever i reinsert battery OR connect to charger, and press power button it starts up.

No, you're on a stock international 4.1.2 rom, probably you already did root.
Since how many time you have got the device?

I purchased it 10 days ago. I didn't make any changes, seller of this phone may be playing with its rom.
is it shutting down because of ROM? if so can I change it to some stable rom?
Faulty Power Button (Maybe)

if its faulty power button, then same power button works fine after removing and inserting battery.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link
I don't think this is the right forum, but I couldn't find one specifically for this device.
I'll start with a brief explanation...
I work in a motel where things are constantly being left behind by guests. Policy requires that we hold lost items for 30 days. At which time employees can take said items. I always get the phones/gadgets.
So, I just got one of these LG Optimus Dynamic devices. However, it won't turn on (probably the reason they left it behind). When I press the power button, I just get a solid white screen... Is there any way to fix this device, or is it just a paperweight at this point?

@Can0dope
Remove battery. Wait 10 seconds. Put battery back in. Hold Volume Down and plug an Usb cable in it (USB must be in PC with an os running also). Tell me what happens.
@christi9503 I followed your instructions. It booted up to the white screen again, the screen flashed, it made a boot sound, and vibrated. A crack has recently appeared under the screen. Touch is still responsive.

That is strange that should get you in the emergency mode. Try again holding button up. If this does not work power it off hold Volume down+Home button+Power. wait 8 seconds release power. tell me what happens.
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
I have a new app installed, from the App Store, and have started this. After I wanted to enter my name the app hung up and since then the tab is dead. It can not be started anymore.
Home Button + Volume up + power button does not work either.
Does anyone have another tip? I've never had anything like that and it's not the first device in my hands.
It is not rooted. Is the normal software from Samsung on it.
I had it on my tab pro 12.2 and it turned out my micro-SD card had gone bad. Please remove it if you have one in your tab S3 and restart it.

Try power button + volume up + volume down at same time? Are you sure the battery is charged? Try a different charger and cable.
The tablet hung on the original charger half the night and the other half on a Sony charger. Each time a different cable is used. Unfortunately it stays dark on the tablet. Power button + volume up + volume down did not help.
How dead is it? I mean, is it turning on?
(the lack of a notification light on this tablet annoys me, as I think it would help in such a situation!)
I had something similar when I was rooting it..
There should at least be a factory reset layer. I got to it with volume up and home - no power button required. I believe I had to hold them for a long time, ten seconds or so. And if it shows life you then hold the power button. Apologies if that's what you tried, but you don't hold all three buttons at once is all!
I am inclined to believe if this doesn't work your tablet might not actually have any power. Which could imply, say, a battery issue.
It could be the other way around, oddly. The tablet is on, but the screen has hung with no display. Another combination to try is power and volume down.
The tablet is absolutely dead. No matter what combination of buttons. And no it was not rooted or something like that. Since I still have warranty, it arrived this morning in the repair workshop.
The tablet has now been repaired and replaced the motherboard.
