Turning off your device is as easy as pressing the power button, though there are a few other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, we also need to point out that there are a wide variety of Android phones to choose from. So, we will go over how to turn off your phone, regardless of the brand you use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-turn-off-android-using-the-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-turn-off-android-using-the-power-button\">How to Turn Off Android Using the Power Button<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this is probably the most basic method. But there is no guarantee that it will always work. This method will not work if your power button is broken. It also won&#8217;t work if you don&#8217;t have your screen unlock code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android also has a security feature that prevents you from powering down your phone unless you first unlock the screen. This feature is useful if your phone has been stolen and you want to track it down. Unfortunately, forgetting the PIN or unlock pattern is a real pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of the above scenarios apply to you, here&#8217;s how to turn off your Android phone using the power button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-unlock-your-device-screen\"><span id=\"step-1-unlock-your-device-screen\">Step 1: Unlock Your Device Screen<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn on your Android, press the Wake button. Then enter your unlock code (which can be a numeric code, a password, or a pattern). When your phone is unlocked, proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-hold-the-power-button\"><span id=\"step-2-hold-the-power-button\">Step 2: Hold the Power Button<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to hold the power button. But here\u2019s also where things get a bit tricky. The power button on your phone may differ depending on the model and manufacturer. You may also need to use a button combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some popular Android phones and their power buttons are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older Galaxy models have a physical power button on the right side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>New Galaxy Models: <\/strong>Because the power button also serves as the Bixby button, you must also press the volume-down button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LG Models: <\/strong>Press and hold the physical button on the phone&#8217;s back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Older Google Pixel models: <\/strong>Press and hold the physical button on the top right corner of your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Google Pixel Newer Models:<\/strong> Press and hold the volume up and the physical button on the top right side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motorola Models: <\/strong>Press and hold the right-side button (some models have this button on the back).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press and hold the side and volume-up buttons on <strong>One Plus models<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can proceed to the next step by pressing the appropriate button combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-select-the-power-symbol\"><span id=\"step-3-select-the-power-symbol\">Step 3: Select the Power Symbol<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, on the screen, you&#8217;ll see the option to turn off your phone. When you tap Power Off, your Android phone will turn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also choose the Restart option. Your phone will power down and then restart, which is useful for troubleshooting or fixing system issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-power-off-a-samsung-galaxy-phone\"><span id=\"how-to-power-off-a-samsung-galaxy-phone\">How to Power Off a Samsung Galaxy Phone<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn off newer Samsung phones such as the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Galaxy A54 5G:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hold the side and volume-down keys together until the power-off menu appears on the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To begin the shutdown process, select Power Off.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Notably, on older phones, you can usually access the power menu by pressing and holding the side key, but if this does not work on your device, try the method outlined above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also turn off your Samsung Galaxy phone by using the notification shade.

If this doesn\u2019t work on your device, try holding in one of the volume keys with the power\/side key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-turn-off-android-without-the-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-turn-off-android-without-the-power-button\">How to Turn Off Android Without the Power Button<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re here, it\u2019s likely because your power button isn\u2019t working or something else is happening. Whatever the reason, you can still turn off your Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Android operating system is incredibly diverse, and this method may not work for everyone. For example, some older Samsung models won\u2019t have this option. But if your home button is broken, it\u2019s worth a shot. So, here\u2019s how to easily turn off your Android without using the power button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-unlock-your-screen\"><span id=\"step-1-unlock-your-screen\">Step 1: Unlock Your Screen<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by unlocking the screen of your Android phone. Press the wake button and enter your unlock code to accomplish this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not first unlock your device&#8217;s screen, you will be prompted to do so after the fourth step in this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-navigate-to-your-control-panel\"><span id=\"step-2-navigate-to-your-control-panel\">Step 2: Navigate to your Control Panel<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, from the top of the screen, swipe down. This motion gives you access to your Android&#8217;s quick menu. Swipe down again to see more options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-select-the-power-icon\"><span id=\"step-3-select-the-power-icon\">Step 3: Select the Power Icon<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine the quick menu&#8217;s top right section. Swiping down twice will reveal a power button symbol. Tap that icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Note: If you don't see the power button symbol, it's either because you haven't reached the bottom of the menu (try swiping down again) or because your phone doesn't have the option.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-select-power-off\"><span id=\"step-4-select-power-off\">Step 4: Select Power Off<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The power-off button should now be visible. When you tap it, your Android phone will turn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turning-off-an-android-phone-using-accessibility-features\"><span id=\"turning-off-an-android-phone-using-accessibility-features\">Turning Off an Android Phone Using Accessibility Features<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This method still necessitates unlocking the screen. It does, however, make it easier for those who are unable to use the power button combination on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll show you how to add the power button to the home screen in this section. Then, put it to use. Here&#8217;s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-go-to-settings-accessibility\"><span id=\"step-1-go-to-settings-accessibility\">Step 1: Go to Settings &gt; Accessibility<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by going to Settings on your Android phone. Scroll down and select Accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can&#8217;t find the Accessibility option, try searching for it at the top of the Settings menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-hover-over-interaction-and-dexterity\"><span id=\"step-2-hover-over-interaction-and-dexterity\">Step 2: Hover over Interaction and Dexterity.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tap Interaction and Dexterity now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-select-assistant-menu\"><span id=\"step-3-select-assistant-menu\">Step 3: Select Assistant Menu<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This new screen will present you with several options. You want to find a toggle switch next to the Assistant menu. Tap it when you see it to enable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, on your screen, a new menu icon will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-click-on-the-assist-menu-icon\"><span id=\"step-4-click-on-the-assist-menu-icon\">Step 4: Click on the Assist Menu Icon<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you&#8217;ve enabled the function, tap the four-box assistant menu icon at the bottom of your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This icon will remain on your screen regardless of which app you are currently using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-select-the-power-off-menu\"><span id=\"step-5-select-the-power-off-menu\">Step 5: Select the Power Off Menu<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the right arrow icons, scroll to the right until you see the Power Off menu option. Tap it. Then, to turn off your Android phone, tap Power Off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-turn-off-android-without-a-passcode\"><span id=\"how-to-turn-off-android-without-a-passcode\">How to Turn Off Android Without a Passcode<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, we&#8217;ve covered a lot of ground. However, each method necessitates the use of a screen unlock code. What are your options if you don&#8217;t have the code? It&#8217;s a bit of a hack, and you may lose some important data on your Android phone, but this method will allow you to power off your Android phone without entering the unlock code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will, however, require your Google password (the one used to unlock the Google account associated with your Android phone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Please keep in mind that this is a nuclear option before proceeding. Hopefully, you tried to recover the unlock code or, at the very least, backed up your phone before getting to this point. But there are times when we have no other choice.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-navigate-to-the-android-device-manager-website\"><span id=\"step-1-navigate-to-the-android-device-manager-website\">Step 1: Navigate to the Android Device Manager website<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you purchase a new Android phone, you must either create a new Google account or sign in to an existing one. Fortunately, that Google account allows you to remotely factory reset your Android. If you are unable to unlock the screen, this may be your only option other than letting the battery run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-choose-erase-device\"><span id=\"step-2-choose-erase-device\">Step 2: Choose Erase Device<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will see your device&#8217;s location and a few options on the left as long as it has internet access. Click Erase Device and follow the on-screen instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-turn-off-your-android-device\"><span id=\"step-3-turn-off-your-android-device\">Step 3: Turn off your Android device<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now unlock your device&#8217;s screen without entering a code and turn off your Android phone, as described in the first section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Android phones, on the other hand, have an Activation Lock feature. When you turn it back on, you&#8217;ll need to sign into your Google account before you can use it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-remap-the-power-and-volume-buttons-on-an-android-phone\"><span id=\"how-to-remap-the-power-and-volume-buttons-on-an-android-phone\">How to Remap the Power and Volume Buttons on an Android Phone<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-remap-a-samsung-galaxy-phone-s-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-remap-a-samsung-galaxy-phones-power-button\">How to Remap a Samsung Galaxy Phone&#8217;s Power Button<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To change the side key on a Samsung Galaxy device, do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to the Settings menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose Advanced options &gt; Side key.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the Power off menu from the Press and hold menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-remap-the-google-pixel-phone-s-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-remap-the-google-pixel-phones-power-button\">How to Remap the Google Pixel Phone&#8217;s Power Button<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To remap the power button on a Google Pixel phone, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to the Settings menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to System &gt; Gestures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toggle off Hold for Assistant under Press and hold power button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now bring up the power dialog by pressing the power button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-remap-the-motorola-phone-s-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-remap-the-motorola-phones-power-button\">How to Remap the Motorola Phone&#8217;s Power Button<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorola phone customization options can be found by going to Settings &gt; System &gt; Gestures.

Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-third-party-apps-can-be-downloaded-from-google-play\"><span id=\"third-party-apps-can-be-downloaded-from-google-play\">Third-party Apps Can Be Downloaded From Google Play<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One advantage of owning an Android phone is the availability of thousands of third-party apps on the Google Play store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PowerMenu and Shutdown, both of which are free on the Play Store, are the most commonly used apps for turning off or restarting your Android devices. Both apps will use software to run the Android power management menu and serve the function of the power button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-s-how-to-use-these-apps-to-turn-off-your-phone\"><span id=\"heres-how-to-use-these-apps-to-turn-off-your-phone\">Here&#8217;s how to use these apps to turn off your phone:<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install the PowerMenu or Shutdown apps from the Google Play Store. When you launch the app, allow access to your device and check the permissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you launch the app, select &#8220;Open Power Menu&#8221; to launch the Android power management menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PowerMenu and Shutdown do not require rooting. However, for other third-party apps, you may need to root your phone, so do your research on the best, most functional, and dependable option available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-adb-commands\"><span id=\"use-adb-commands\">Use ADB Commands<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one appears to be more complicated than the others, but if everything else fails, it will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a command tool for interacting with your Android device. Consider it an Android command prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to connect your phone to your PC to turn it off this way. Aside from that, you&#8217;ll need to enable USB debugging and install ADB drivers on your PC. When you&#8217;re finished, all you have to do is tell your phone to shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at how to do it from start to finish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Install the ADB drivers on your PC (Mac or Windows).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On your PC, enable USB debugging.

To restart the computer, enter the command \/ADB shell reboot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-turn-off-a-samsung-phone-that-doesn-t-have-a-working-power-button\"><span id=\"how-to-turn-off-a-samsung-phone-that-doesnt-have-a-working-power-button\">How to Turn Off a Samsung Phone That Doesn&#8217;t Have a Working Power Button<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung mobile phones are mostly based on Android operating systems, but they do have some unique features.

Bixby Voice from Samsung has voice command features that can make your life easier. If all else fails, Bixby Voice can assist you in turning off your phone.

While you could wait for the phone&#8217;s battery to die, you could also try interacting with your screen with a stylus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the cause of your screen&#8217;s malfunction, it may be able to detect and respond to a stylus (especially Galaxy models equipped with an S-pen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-possible-to-restart-my-phone-if-the-screen-isn-t-working\"><span id=\"is-it-possible-to-restart-my-phone-if-the-screen-isnt-working\">Is it possible to restart my phone if the screen isn&#8217;t working?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. However, if you have a lock code and the screen isn&#8217;t working, proceed with caution. When it turns back on, you might not be able to unlock it. Although every phone is different, there is a button combination that allows you to restart your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-isn-t-my-android-s-power-button-working\"><span id=\"why-isnt-my-androids-power-button-working\">Why isn&#8217;t my Android&#8217;s power button working?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your phone has no visible damage and appears to be in good working order, the power button is most likely not working because your Android phone requires a button combination. More information can be found in the first section of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the button will not depress, remove your Android phone from its case and clean it. To loosen any debris, a small amount of alcohol can be used. Then try it once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-frequently-should-i-switch-off-my-android-phone\"><span id=\"how-frequently-should-i-switch-off-my-android-phone\">How frequently should I switch off my Android phone?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously stated, you do not have to turn off your Android phone every day. However, it is a good idea to turn it off and on at least once a week. Also, whenever your phone has a problem (can&#8217;t make calls, slow internet, apps crashing, etc.), turn it off and on again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, at least one of the methods listed above helped you turn off your Android phone. You can turn off your Android phone in a variety of ways, and some tasks require you to take additional steps. Begin with the simplest method and, if that fails, move on to the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-articles\"><span id=\"related-articles\">Related Articles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/gaming\/why-wont-my-ps4-turn-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHY WON\u2019T MY PS4 TURN ON: Reasons Why &amp; Possible Fixes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/samsung-tablet-wont-turn-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAMSUNG TABLET WON&#8217;T TURN ON: Basic Problems &amp; Fixes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/apple\/apple-watch\/how-to-unlock-apple-watch-without-passcode-without-resetting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Unlock Apple Watch Without Passcode Without Resetting 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/technology\/samsung-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAMSUNG PHONES: Best Cheap Samsung Phones to Get in 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/technology\/pixel-vs-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PIXEL VS IPHONE: Which Is Better?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidauthority.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">AndroidAuthority<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/alphr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Alphr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While you may not need to turn off your phone on a daily basis, there are times when&hellip;\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":86,"featured_media":10283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[270],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10124","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-android"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Do I Turn My Phone Off 2023: Here&#039;s How!!!
