Can not power down my HTC Droid Incredible as the phone options menu will not display.

Press down power switch at top of device for up to a minute and nothing happens. Options menu no longer appears. Had trouble with the device about  2 weeks ago where nothing would work and I was getting force close messages. Found a solution on this forum to fix the force close issue but then I could no longer power down the device.

I just resolved my orriginal issue with the power down by calling Verizon support (866) 406-5154. It was very simple while the phone was on just remove the back case and take out the battery. Then with putting the battery back in turn on the phone and when fully booted just try to power off and it worked.
There are many articles written about battery life in this community and in the documentation.

  • TS1630 people cannot hear me when they call me in my iphone, what is wrong? it's either I need to keep tapping the phone or they will not hear me

    I am having difficulty with Iphone4.  For two weeks now, when people call me or I call them, there are times that they cannot hear me.  At times I need to tap the phone and it will work but most of the time it does not.  What is the problem?  Is this a major problem?

    Hello arendss1,
         Thank you for sharing your audio concern with your iPhone 4S! As your wireless provider, we want to make sure that you are able to get the maximum usage out of your device! I would like to partner with you so we can get this issue resolved once and for all! May I ask is there any physical or liquid damage on the device? Also, what software version do you have on the phone? Below are some steps to try to resolve the audio issues.
    Turn off bluetooth and wifi in the Settings Menu.
    Verify that the headset jack is clean.
    Adjust the volume from the Settings menu. (Settings > Sounds > Ringer and Alerts)
    Confirm that "Change with Buttons" is on.
    Perform a soft reset by pressing & holding the home key & the sleep/wake key for 10 seconds.
          Once you have tried these steps then please retest to see if the audio has returned to the device. I would also like to suggest test the device on speaker phone and with a wired earpiece as well. If the issue persist then please advise of any changes as all new information may prove to be beneficial in achieving a resolution.
    Thank you...

  • I purchased a phone 4s from O2 uk and I am currently living in Ireland. I am with O2 ireland but the sim is not accepted in the phone. I will not be in England for at least a year, is there anyway I can unlock the phone?

    O2 uk will not unlock the phone for me as I do not have a UK phone number anymore! Is there any other way or have I now got a phone which is worth nothing!

    However O2 do unlock UK iPhones
    Their webpage covering this is down and has been for several days
    This thread has been running on the O2 forum and you may find it has a solution
    You have to able to get to the North and you will effectively be on the UK network where you can get the iPhone unlocked with a bit of effort

  • I want to factory restore, but the cmd R procedure will not activate, I want to factory restore, but the cmd R procedure will not activate

    I installed Mountain Lion after brand new purchase of Macbook Pro.  Used Migration Assistant to transfer Windows based Outlook and documents. Created a huge disaster with the sharing folders.  Downloaded Pages, but the application will not respond.  Gmails in mail cannot be deleted. At start up I get the system preferences window followed by Mail on my desktop.  I have tried to delete gmail, however, it deletes temporarily and then is back.  Almost all applications do not respond properly.  Last night I tried factory reset, but after 7 hours I ended up with the corrupted version. Now I am trying to use the CMD-R to restore the factory setting but I am unable to do so. 
    Please help

    make sure that it's completely shut down, then hold those keys down immedietly after pushing the power button to turn it on, if that's still not working that pretty much means that you don't have lion or mountain lion, or you don't have a recovery partition

    3- Scroll down to : Accessibility
    4- Select Assistive touch (for more information about Using AssistiveTouch on your iOS device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5587)
    5- If the "White dot" doesn't appear - Click 3 times to the home bottom and you should get the "White dot" somewhere on your iPhone sceen (you can move the "White dot" where you want on the screen of the iPhone)
    6- When you get the "White dot" - click on it
    7- You will have 4 icons, click on the device icon
    8- Click volume up (be sure the volume is at the maximum)
    9- Click on the little bell (make sure the bell is not muted - I found, it's not very clear whic bell is on or wich bell is mute)
    10- Call your iPhone - the problem of no sound should be fix (if the problem is not not fix be sure the volume is up and the bell is not muted - select the other bell by clicking on the bell -  call again your iPhone - the problem should be solve and it should work)
    11- If you do not like to keep the "White dot" on your iPhone screen - click 3 times to the home bottom and the "White dot" should disappear (if you want it back - click 3 times to the home bottom and the "White dot" should be back)

  • Pay bill on the phone but it will not except payment?

    I have been paying my bill via phone since 2011 and now it won't accept my check.  The same one that they have in their system since 2011.  I have been past around and past around by customer services.  I have done everything they have said two times over.  The check keeps getting rejected as account not located.  I have been to my bank three time and they wrote a letter saying my account is fine and I faxed it to Verizon, but I keep getting told it's not there problem.  They had me call their check cashing company, Certigy, to see if the issue is with them.  Seems to me Verizon is going through this company Verizon should deal with them.   Certigy said there wasn't anything wrong with my checks.  Verizon still didn't believe me so Verizon put us on a conference call with Certigy so they could hear it themselves.  This has been going on since last Wednesday and I just don't know what to do anymore.  The Financial Service  manager was totally rude and all he wanted was another form of payment and in no way trying to fix the problem. I don't understand why the check was fine all the months before and now there system is saying it doesn't exists?  I don't understand why I'm being treated like I'm the bad guy when all I wanted to do is pay my bill from the same account I always do.  I'm told to get a debit card or charge card to make the payment and they pretty much told me it was my problem and would not investigate their end of the problem with there system rejecting payment on a good long standing account.  I had to have a friend make the payment and pay him by the same checking account that Verizon says doesn't exists.  How do I get someone to fix this????

    First I would like to thank you for responding to my post.  The message the get back is the can't locate the account.  This is the same checking account I have used on the phone with Verizon since 2011.  I have contact my bank three times and they say there is no issue.  The bank (TCF) even wrote me a leter so I could fax into Verizon as proof there is nothing wrong with my account.  I have paid by phone to my charge card company, gas company and car insurance with no problem.  Verizon just transfers me from person to person.  They all re-enter the acct numbers and get the same results.  I work in payroll amd I'm familiar with how EFT works.  I beleive someone triggered something in your system to make my checking a saving acct, which it isn't.  I dont know how to get Verizon to dig deeper into fixing this.   I don't know how to make a private message yet but I will try to figure it out and give the information reqested.  Thank you again.

  • Firefox v3.6.8 will NOT remember passwords. I've doubled check the settings but it will not remember the passwords

    New HP laptop, O/S XP-Pro, my previous computer with XP-Pro had no problem remembering passwords but this v of Firefox will not remember the PW's

    Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
    For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
    The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
    I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

  • If I buy any iPhone can it still work as an iPod touch without the phone carrier? Will it work normal?

    So what if I bought an iPhone 4 or 5 off craigslist because it was cheaper than a 5th generation iPod. Would it still work as an iPod without a phone carrier?

    You will need to have a SIM in the phone to activate it. If it's still locked to a carrier, it will need to be a SIM from that carrier. This would need to be done if/when you update the software.
    Make sure the phone is no longer attached to the previous owner's iCloud account. You can check that here: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/

  • HTC DROID INCREDIBLE used on prepaid

    Does anyone know if the HTC Driod Incredible able to be used on Verizon prepaid plans. I am currently using a flip phone and am considering buying a used android phone to put on the data plan. Can anyone help. Thankyou

    The original DROID Incredible and the DROID Incredible 2 are 3G only smartphones. So you can activate them on one of the prepaid smartphone monthly plans.
    If it is the 4G LTE model, then it couldn't be activated on a prepaid plan.

  • My device will not power down

    My Ellipsis will not power down.  Any suggestions?

    Remove the battery. Never mind you cant remove the battery on an Ellipsis.
    Jetpacks often function with E-Ink displays that do not require power to illuminate.  Normally all you have to do to power down a Jetpack is press and hold the power button.  The Jetpack will force itself off after about 5-10 seconds if the power button is functional.  If not then the Jetpack should be sent in for servicing.
