Need Help ASAP - How do I shut off my Phone?

[jacktesterson]

Silly Question...

I just sold my HTC One X with 4.0.3 on it and I want to ship it!!

I just did a factory reset to clear it, now it rebooted and wants to go through the setup. The issue is, its fully charged, and I want the person to receive it fully charged and ready to go through the setup. The normal power button doesn't give me an option to power it down. If I hold it down, it eventually restarts right back to the setup menu. I can't remove the battery as this is a unibody phone like the iphones.

Anyone got any ideas? Need this thing shut off ASAP so I can ship it. Google isn't liking me today. I'd prefer not to go through the setup to power it off, but its looking like I may have to.

Just leave it off.
Its not doing to die on standby for a few days.

Hold the power button and home button at the same time. Does that work?

lol

If you press the power/home button it takes a picture. You have to hold both down for a few seconds. Or did that not work?

You don't have adb set up on your PC!?

lol had the same problem today.. got one at work. for testing.

hold the power button for ridiculously long, then click the "slide to turn off" that appears.

What? The One X doesn't have a menu when you press Power for ~2-3 seconds?

That's the first thing I thought. I'm almost certain older versions of Sense did.

i dont

holding it for a brief period would ask me to restart.

Holding it down as long as I could would bring a menu up that started counting down from 5 to restart the phone, and it counter kept ticking as long as you held it down.

I couldn't find any combination to power down the phone.

Once through the setup, I just held the power button for a sec or too and the normal menu appears to "power down"
