Useful Button Combinations
"Emergency Reboot" - Simultaneously pressing the "Power" and "Volume down" buttons for about 10 seconds.
If at this time you are connected to the PC, the device turns off.
"Download mode" - in the off/on state, simultaneously press and hold the buttons "Volume Down", "Home" and the "Power" button and after the menu with the yellow triangle appears, press the button "Volume Up".
"Recovery mode" - in the off state, we simultaneously hold the "Power" and "Volume Up" and "Home" buttons.
If we need to get into the "Recovery mode" when display is on, first we do the "Emergency Reboot", then as soon as the screen goes blank, we immediately press the combination "Recovery mode ".
"Screenshot" - Simultaneous pressing the "Home" and "Power" buttons. It is saved on the DCIM / Screenshots path.
Just for clarity's sake. Number 2 can be accessed at any time, device on/off, boot hang or boot loop.

My HTC One fails to connect to any WiFi, ATT hotspots, home router, etc, unless I select restart, power off then back on the phone.
If I try to log on at home it reports "failed to connect". If I power off then on, it connects automatically. But if I leave the house and return, no connection, but it shows all available networks. I disabled all power saver settings, Avast / Battery Guru.
Any solutions available?

Hello. I have a Huawei W1 running 8.1 GDR1 and yesterday, it just started rebooting endlessly every 5 minutes, and it always took the date back to 8:08 AM 8/27. I tried to hard reset on the about section but it just restarted normally without wiping anything. Tried to do the - and + volume buttons combination but the screen with the exclamation mark disappears as soon as I press the first button. There's no way to hard reset this phone and I don't have any other idea to fix it. What can I do?
How to Factory Reset:
Go to Start > Application list > Settings.
Then scroll to the bottom and choose About.
Tap on Reset your phone.
To confirm the reset tap Yes.
It will take a few minutes to restore the default settings, then your phone will restart.
--- Hard Reset ---
Option 1:
Press and hold the Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time.
Then release the Power button when the phone vibrates.
After that, release the Camera button and Volume Down when you are prompted on the Format screen option.
Then press Windows button twice to confirm.
Option 2:
Turn your phone off.
Then press and hold the power key and release it when it vibrates.
Press and hold the Volume Down button until the exclamation mark is displayed.
Then input the follow sequence of keys: Volume Up > Volume Down > Power > Volume Down.

I tried all of that, to no avail. In the about section, the phone just reboots and doesn't wipe anything, and the other methods just don't work.
Press menu + vol down + power.
Hold down all three buttons until the tablet reboots and the screen momentarily goes off, then after about one second the Samsung and Android logos appear in white.
Now we are at the point where the tablet screen has just gone dark. You have less than one second to:
1) If you release the power button now, the tablet simply reboots.
2) If you keep holding the buttons the tablet enters Download mode.
3) If you very quickly, VERY quickly, press VOL UP, while still holding down the power + menu, the tablet enters the recovery.
I have not found a way to switch it off other than entering recovery and then selecting reboot/power off.
Hard reset only is actually just hold POWER + VOL DOWN
Hello everyone.
Last night I took to the journey of replacing my screen on my moto x. After carefully piecing all of the parts back together, something weird happened.
The phone seemed to start up normally, with the traditional M logo, and then goes into the boot animation. It'll sit there booting for a good minute, and then will make a small buzz, the boot animation will freeze in the middle of a frame, and then it'll shut off and redo the same process.
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue, and has found a fix yet. Thank you in advance
Did you try to make a hard reset at your phone? Make a hard reset and see if the issue remains.
To do this,
With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time for about 3 seconds.
From the Boot Mode Selection Menu screen, use the Volume Down button to scroll to Recovery, and press Volume Up to select.
When the screen with the Android logo appears, press and hold the Power button, then press and release Volume Up to display the menu options.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power key to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power key to select it.
When ouching the assistant button it would not work so I tried to reboot and holding the on/off button
nothing happened. Then somehow "active talk" was opened and now it won't shut off. how do I reboot this thing?
Press and hold the power button only for longer than 10 seconds. Just hold it until it reboots.
EDIT - Also you can check in settings for "power", and see if the power button is mapped to anything else.
problem solved, thank you
