How to Force Turn Off Android Phone without Touch Screen (Best Method)
1If your Android phone’s touchscreen is unresponsive and you need to force it to turn off, you can use hardware button combinations or other methods, depending on the device. Since the touchscreen isn’t working, these steps rely on physical buttons or external connections. Below are the methods to force turn off an Android phone without using the touchscreen:
Method 1: Soft Reset Using Hardware Buttons
Most Android phones can be turned off or restarted using a combination of physical buttons, even if the touchscreen is unresponsive.
Press and Hold the Power Button:
Locate the Power button (usually on the side of the phone).
Press and hold it for 10-20 seconds.
On many devices (e.g., Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi), this triggers a soft reset, and the phone will restart or power off.
If the phone restarts instead of turning off, wait for it to boot up, then repeat to see if it powers off completely.
Power + Volume Down Combination (Common for Many Brands):
Press and hold the Power button and Volume Down button together for 10-20 seconds.
This combination works on devices like Samsung, OnePlus, and some Motorola models to force a restart or power off.
If it restarts, repeat the process to fully power off.
Brand-Specific Variations:
Samsung: Press Power + Volume Down for 10-20 seconds. On older models (e.g., Galaxy S7 or earlier), you may need to remove the battery (see Method 3).
Google Pixel: Hold the Power button for 20-30 seconds. If that doesn’t work, try Power + Volume Down.
Xiaomi/Redmi: Hold the Power button for 10-20 seconds. Some models may require Power + Volume Up.
OnePlus: Hold Power + Volume Down for 10-20 seconds.
Sony: Hold Power + Volume Up for 10-20 seconds, or press the small reset button (if available) near the SIM tray with a paperclip.
