How to turn on and turn off Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge when phone hangs?

Update: Android Nougat update for Galaxy S7 and S7 edge will prevent you from powering the phone before you unlock the phone. You can bypass this restriction by power off Galaxy S7 and S7 edge without unlocking the phone.

Who doesn’t know how to turn on or turn off Galaxy S7?

When you get a new phone, the first thing you will do is probably power it on (i.e. turn on).

Galaxy S7 (or Galaxy S7 edge) is not an exception. In most regions, Samsung does not offer 1-to-1 exchange. You have to check the phone before leaving the counter; otherwise, any problems will probably be handled through service centers.

Any kids can turn on Galaxy S7 or turn off Galaxy S7 because the power button is there.

But if Galaxy S7 does not respond to holding power button, or any buttons in Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, what can you do?

Remember, the battery in Galaxy S7 (and S7 edge) is non-removable for users. You cannot pull out the battery and insert it again.

This guide will try to show you how to turn on Galaxy S7 and turn off Galaxy S7 in all situations, including when the phone does not respond to any buttons.

How to reboot or turn off Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge if phone is not responding to power button?

When Samsung first changed design slimmed down TouchWiz for Galaxy S6 (and Galaxy S6), there are some reports that the phone is not responsive for no reason. You may read comments in this page to get a better idea on the issue in Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

Through incremental improvements in Galaxy Note 5, the reported cases of non-responsive Galaxy S7 have significantly decreased.

But occasionally, some Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge owners still encountered the similar issue: Galaxy S7 is not responsive to touch screen gestures and pressing of any buttons.

The issue can be caused by some apps you installed. But most of the time, it is caused by bugs in firmware bugs or TouchWiz.

Anyway, finding out the cause of the problem is out of the scope of this post.

When Galaxy S7 is not responsive to any touchscreen gesture or any buttons (i.e, Galaxy S7 hangs), the first thing you can try is to hold power button for more than 7 seconds. In most cases, your Galaxy S7 should reboot (i.e., turns off Galaxy S7, then turn on.) .

If holding power button does not work, you should try following step to reboot Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge

  1. press and hold volume down button
  2. without releasing volume down button, press and hold power button
  3. Holding both buttons for more than 7 seconds.

You Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 should reboot now.

For Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, holding volume down and power buttons for more than 7 seconds is equivalent to remove and insert battery (battery removal).

In old versions of Samsung Galaxy phones, the equivalent operation is holding power button for more than 5~7 seconds.

How to turn on Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge if it does not respond to holding power button?

Occasionally, you may find your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge is dead: neither home button nor power button can wake up the screen.

In this case, you may first try to hold power button for more than 7 seconds.  In some cases, this should turn on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge.

If Galaxy S7 or S7 edge does not respond to holding power button, you may try following steps.

Step 1:  Charge Galaxy S7 and make sure battery is not dead

You can follow this guide to charge Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

If the LED does not light up and nothing is showing on the screen after you connect Galaxy S7 or S7 to the charger, it usually means several hardware problems. You should not waste time and visit local Samsung service center to check and fix hardware issues.

If the LED lights up or charging icons shows on the screen, very likely, you can turn on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge by yourself. You should charge your Galaxy S7 or S7 edge for at least 10-20 mins.

Step 2: Disconnect the charger.

Although it is not required, it is strongly recommended to disconnect the charger when you want to turn on Galaxy S7, especially when you have problems to turn on Galaxy S7.

Step 3: Try the following button combinations to turn on Galaxy S7.

  1. press and hold Power button for more than 20 seconds check whether it turns on Galaxy S7 or not.
  2. press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold Power button (totally 2 buttons) until you see something on the screen.
  3. press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button (totally 2 buttons) until you see something on the screen.
  4. press and hold Volume Down button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume down button, press and hold Power button + Home button (totally 3 buttons) until you see something on the screen. If you get anything (very likely Download mode) on the screen, you can just press and hold the power button to reboot normally. It is not necessary to do anything else.
  5. Press and hold Volume up + Volume down + Power buttons until you see something on the screen.
  6. press and hold Volume Up button for a few seconds, without releasing the Volume up button, press and hold Power button + Home button (totally 3 buttons, you need use 2 hands) until you see something on the screen. This may turn on Galaxy S7 and boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode.  Once in recovery mode, you can just hold power button to reboot the phone normally.

Hope you can turn on Galaxy S7 or S7 edge now.

How to power off Galaxy S7 and S7 edge when you cannot unlock the phone?

With Android Nougat update, you are required to unlock the phone if you want to power off Galaxy S7 or S7 edge.

But sometimes, you may want to bypass this restriction to power off Galaxy S7 and S7 edge without unlocking the phone.

For example,

  • You need to power off someone’s Galaxy S7 or S7 edge when he/she is not around.
  • You want to reset Galaxy S7 or S7 edge because you forget the PIN/password and you cannot use Samsung’s Find my mobile to unlock Galaxy S7 remotely.
  • You may break the screen and you cannot use the power button option on the screen.

Step 1: Connect Galaxy S7 and S7 edge to wall charger with the USB cable and make sure it is charging.

Step 2: Press and hold Volume down button and Power button (holding two buttons)  for about 7 seconds.

Step 3: Release power button, then volume down button.

Now, Galaxy S7 or S7 edge should be powered off. You can wake up the screen to verify. It should show a charging battery icon.

When must I visit service center?

If the problem is caused by faulty or damaged hardware, you should send Galaxy S7 or S7 edge to local service center for a repair.

Some signs of hardware problems for Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge;

  • no sign of charging when it is connected to a charger.

    There is blue light blinking on my S7 edge, but it’s not working. What should I do?
    If I go to a local center can they make the mobile work without removing any data of mine? Please let me know as I am really worried.

      It’s hard to tell. It depends on the actual problem. Anyway, you should always back up your data if they are important.

    Thanks Simon, I was visiting a friend recently and he said if I double tap the camera button, it might work. It did. When you dont know, you dont know. But usually some one else knows. And now I know.

      Glad to know you solved the issue. Actually it depends on the Android version on S7. In the older version, there is a switch button. In the newer version, you can use swipe up or down to switch. These are explained in this page https://gadgetguideonline.com/s7/galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-android-nougat-update-guide/use-galaxy-s7-camera-app-with-android-nougat-update-in-s7-and-s7-edge/

      How did you try to switch between the front and rear cameras?

      If the button disappears or the gesture doesn’t work, you can try to clear the cache partition to see whether it helps.

      First, disconnect the charger, wait for a few mins.

      Now, if you connect the charger to the phone, does the LED light up (it should be red)?

      If yes, you may disconnect the phone from the charge. Wait for a few mins. Then holding volume down + power buttons for more than 30 seconds.
      If this does not give you anything, wait for a few mins, then try to hold 3 buttons (Home, volume up, Power) for more than 30 seconds to see whether it can reboot into the recovery mode.

      You should unlock the phone with your PIN/password/pattern, not turning on and off the phone. The buttons are not for unlocking the phone.

      If you cannot turn on the phone are all these combinations, then you have to visit local Samsung service centre.

    How can you turn off the S7 when the touchscreen is broken? I dropped my phone perfectly and damaged the face. It went completely blank, I can’t use the face and I need to turn it off.

      When battery drain out, it will power off automatically.

      If the phone is still working, you can power it off using ADB commands from the PC. But it’s not a trivial job to set it up.

    Hey, so I took my phone in the shower cuz I was watching a YouTube video, and a little after I got out I realized only my power button, and home button don’t work. I thought the phone was waterproof for 30 mins in 5ft water. Didn’t realize spraying water did shit. But for some reason my home buttons finger scanner works fine. So does anybody have any ideas on what I should do?

      Unfortunately, in most regions, water damage is not covered under warranty. You have to visit local Samsung service centre to repair it.

      If the phone cannot reboot normally, you can try to reboot it into recovery mode and clear cache partition to see whether it helps.

      If the phone has any hardware problems, you have no choice, but have to visit local Samsung service center.

      It depends on your region. In some regions, when you connect the phone to the charger, the phone may start automatically when battery level is about 5%. But it’s not a universal feature.

      Anyway, you should repair the power button.

This guide is for restart or switch on … but when I get stuck on Samsung screen when boot up (firmware issue) I need to switch my phone off and boot in recovery or safe mode, which is not possible when I restart phone with volume down+home+power or volume down+power ….

      It is about timing. when you press volume down and power button together, it actually power off first, then power on.

      If you stuck in boot loop, you can use Volume up + home + power button when Samsung logo is in the splashing screen.

      What’s the problem with your phone? You cannot remove the Samsung logo in the splashing page.

      The phone may be warm when rebooting. But it should not be so hot. If you are uncomfortable with it, you can check the phone in the service centre. They have professional tools to find out possible issues.
