How do I perform a simulated battery pull (hard reboot) using the buttons, not having to remove the battery?

My phone isn't charging properly.And will resetting power management help?
So what is the difference between the fast boot mode (settings-> power) and normal boot? Will having cwm cause issues? Other issues?
Using Fastboot doesn't shut your phone down completely when you power off. Think of it as hibernate for a PC. This allows the phone to boot up quicker from being powered off.
If you leave fastboot on you need to pull the battery (to power it off completely) in order to boot into the bootloader, hence the possibility of it causing a problem with certain apps. I hardly ever power my phone down and I hate pulling my battery so I leave it off.
This might be a stupid question but because the battery of this phone is non-removable, how do you manually turn it off or restart it in case it freezes up?
Hold down the power button til it restarts. There's also a basic tear down guide on how to do a manual reboot posted out there.
Sent from my LG-E970
so even if it's frozen if you hold down the power button it will still shutdown? good to know that, I'm gonna search for that tear down guide..thanks
Both volume buttons plus power for about 10 seconds simulates a battery pull.
So I had to replace my display and digitizer (tried to just replace the digitizer and that didn't work).
First question:
Is there any reason why the connection to the display itself would not function? I have 2 good lcds and I'm fairly sure the connection itself it botched...grrr.
Second question:
Is there a way to debug/wipe my phone without being able to see on my display? I have Amon-RA installed with Rage 1.9.2.
Thanks for the help!
Just try to get to fast boot by memory.
What are those steps?
Pull battery. Pull SD card. Put battery in. Press and hold power and volume down for about 5 seconds after it vibrates. Wait about 15 seconds, press volume down, then power button. Plug into computer. Wait 5 seconds.
You should be in fast boot.
Hello,
Since rooting the phone it will not restart without pulling the battery.
If in Xposed "soft reboot" or "reboot" both turn the phone off and it will not respond to button input to re-start
If pressing power until power off menu comes up and I press reboot, it shuts down and will not re-start until I pull the battery.
If I plug in the power while it is in this state it will not charge or start
Once I pull the battery, it will:
Charge without starting when plugged in
Start with power button press
All else acts normal.
Any ideas? I just hate taking the stupid case off and pulling the battery any time I have to re-start!
I haven't narrowed down what causes it, but I've eliminated a lot of things:

Just for clarity, it more than likely isn't actually "off", it's rebooting and getting frozen with a black screen. Besides pulling the battery you can also long press the power button (10 seconds?) to force it to turn off, then turn it back on again. I usually just pull the battery too because it's quicker.
Yeah, no the long press doesn't do anything no matter if I leave it pressed for 5 seconds or even 45 seconds (Tried that several times)
Leaving it alone for an hour doesn't do anything. If anything I'm doubting that it turns all the way off rather than gets stuck rebooting. It is absolutely frozen until I pull the battery.
Here are the only things I have found which works to avoid taking the phone apart:
From Quickboot: Power Off (do not reboot, do not soft boot, etc, just power off) (quickly powers down, almost instant)
or
Press and hold power button for menu: Power Off (longer time to power down)
From either of those, the power button turns the phone back on no problem.
No rebooting works.
