    Hi,

    My friend just came to me with his newly purchased Z3 haha, it's stuck on the lockscreen. Whatever he types, the phone doesn't register any input on the password entry box and the screen reader keeps reading the numbers pressed.

    Tried holding down the power button, even with the volume buttons and nothing works.

    Any quick solution please?

    Hold both volume buttons until the phone turns off.

    You tried that and it doesn't restart?

    It can take up to 30 seconds.


    Wait until the battery dies or run an autoloader and reload the OS.

    Turn off the screen reader first, to turn off press the power/lock button three times quickly.

    For your rudeness I hope the phone is broken.

    I already read your post. Holding both the volume buttons until the phone turns off is the only way a locked up Z3 is going to turn off, until the battery goes flat. So how about you keep doing it until it works or stop asking for help.

    One, I wasn't being rude to you. I just thought you haven't paid attention, we are humans and we tend to make mistakes.

    Two, the phone doesn't register any key presses. Before I made a post here, I've tried everything else I found on the web. My error for not mentioning. Sorry about that.

    Three, if you can't say good, it's best to stop being rude to people without knowing or understanding things.
