If you have a Samsung phone with a broken or unresponsive power button, don’t worry, you can still turn off or restart your device without it. In this guide, I’ll show you two easy methods to manage your phone without relying on the power button.
Method 1: Use the Power Off Button on the Navigation Panel
The first and simplest way to turn off or restart your Samsung phone is by using the power off button available in the navigation panel. Here’s how:
- Swipe Down the Screen: Start by swiping down from the top of your screen to bring down the notification panel.
- Swipe Down Again: Swipe down one more time to reveal the full quick settings menu.
- Find the Power Off Button: Look at the top of the screen, and you’ll see a power icon. Tap on it.
- Select Power Off or Restart: After tapping the power icon, you can choose whether to turn off or restart your phone.
This method is straightforward and can be done in just a few taps, making it a quick solution if your power button isn’t working.
Method 2: Use the Samsung Assistant Menu
The second method involves enabling the Samsung Assistant Menu, which provides an on-screen shortcut for various functions, including powering off or restarting your device. Follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Accessibility” to enter the accessibility settings.
- Under Accessibility, find and select “Interaction and Dexterity.”
- Look for the “Assistant Menu” feature and toggle it on.
- Once the Assistant Menu is enabled, you’ll see a small floating shortcut ball on your screen. Tap on it to bring up various options, including the power-off menu.
- From here, you can easily choose to turn off or restart your phone.
This method is especially useful if you prefer having more accessibility options at your fingertips.
