How to Turn Off Android Phone without Touch Screen (Best Method)
1The best and most reliable method to turn off an Android phone without a touch screen is a forced power-down using the physical buttons. This bypasses the need to interact with the screen's software-based shutdown menu.
The exact button combination and duration can vary slightly depending on your phone's manufacturer (Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola, etc.).
1. The Universal Force Shutdown (Best Method)
This combination works to force a hardware-level power cut on most Android devices, even if the screen is frozen or unresponsive.
Action: Press and hold the Power Button and the Volume Down Button simultaneously.
Duration: Continue holding the buttons for about 10-20 seconds.
Your phone will typically do one of the following:
Force Restart: Most phones (like Pixel, older Samsung) will simply restart after about 7-10 seconds. Keep holding the buttons. The phone will usually power off completely shortly after the restart animation or logo appears and disappears.
Instant Shutdown: Some phones will shut down completely without restarting.
Enter Recovery/Fastboot Mode: On some models, after restarting, the phone will enter a text-based "Fastboot" or "Recovery" screen. Proceed to Method 2.
2. The Advanced Shutdown (Using Recovery/Fastboot Mode)
If the first method only restarts your phone, or if you want a guaranteed "Power Off" command, you can use the physical buttons to navigate the system's maintenance menus.
A. Getting into the Menu
Option 1 (Common): Hold Power and Volume Down until the phone restarts, then immediately switch to holding Power and Volume Up until a menu appears.
Option 2 (Samsung): Hold Power and Volume Down for 7+ seconds until the screen goes blank, then immediately hold Power and Volume Up to enter Recovery Mode.
Option 3 (Pixel/Some Stock Android): On newer devices, you may need to hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down all at the same time for about 20-30 seconds.
B. Shutting Down
Once you enter a text-based menu (Recovery or Fastboot Mode):
Navigate: Use the Volume Up or Volume Down buttons to move the highlight/selection up and down.
Find Power Off: Scroll down until the option for Power Off or Shut Down is selected.
Confirm: Press the Power Button to execute the command.
The phone will shut down completely.
