#144543 — Switching off a Samsung phone

FromSteve Hayes <hayesstw@telkomsa.net>
Date2024-11-27 05:18 +0200
SubjectSwitching off a Samsung phone
Message-ID<rr3dkjlfji4vh2t7vdq7on0avr267ck4vt@4ax.com>
Three days ago my Samsung phone froze, and yould not respond to any
input from the touch screen.

In the past when such a thing has happened I've found that it can be
cured by taking out the battery and rebooting. 

But with this particular Samsung model one cannot remove the battery
without special tools. 

Would it have the same effect if I wait a few days for the battery to
go flat, and then try to charge it and restart it?

Has anyone else foudn a way to switch off and restart a phone when the
touch screen doesn't respond and you can't remove the battery?

Did you previously turn on USB debugging in Developer options?

Next time, before a phone screen becomes unresponsive, turn on Developer
options USB debugging so that you can interact with the phone from a PC.

You don't need the screen to respond if you had USB debugging turned on.

The PC can do anything you want to the phone over the USB cable then.

Which is something very dangerous, if any random PC can take control of 
a phone.

Mr. Google says to try these:

    Samsung phone frozen - how to soft reset or hard reboot

    If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the
    Power button and the Volume down button down simultaneously for
    more than 7 seconds to restart it. When your phone resets, you
    will feel it vibrate.

    It almost sounds too simple, but restarting your Samsung Galaxy
    can sometimes fix your touch screen by clearing out what's
    causing the issue. Here's how to do it:
    1.  With your phone on, press and hold the Power button and
        Volume Down button for 10+ seconds. On Samsung phones
        without a dedicated Power key, press and hold the Volume
        Down key and Side key for 10+ seconds.
    2.  Hold until the Samsung Galaxy logo appears.

There's usually a sequence of e.g. holding the power button for over 30 
seconds doing a reboot ...

That does not exist anywhere. As soon as the reboot starts you can 
release the buttons.

You should be able to turn it off by putting it in a trash compactor. 

Not sure how to turn it back on, however. Still working on that.

Check the manual for your phone, or do an online search.  In my 
experience you can force a reboot or reset using the physical power 
button and one of the volume buttons on the phone.  They are usually on 
the side edge of the phone.  With my motorola phone, I can get to this 
screen by holding the power and down volume buttons at the same time and 
keep pressing them until the reboot/reset screen appears.

Being a purposefully helpful and rather detailed person, as a public
service, I wrote this, which may help the OP with an unresponsive Samsung.

 *How to un-freeze an unresponsive Samsung Galaxy A32 5G with reboot, reset, factory reset, odin mode, download mode, android recovery mode & debug mode*

See also this, which I wrote to help people like the OP with their phone.
 *What is the best XDA solution to control Android on the PC & recover data over Wi-Fi when the user suddenly has an unresponsive broken screen?*

Good luck to the OP. 
Please let us know how it works so we all learn from each other.

You'd better run and tell that to my former boss, because he paid me to 
be in charge of Android and iPhone technical support for ten years.

Poor company!

Good companies do not accept or have strict minimum requirements on
Androids in a business environment. iPhones are always welcome as BYOD
and as company standard.

I have good reasons not to believe your claim.
