If you need to turn off your HTC Magic, either because you need to save battery at night, get on a plane, protect your privacy, or switch it off to take it in for repair and you don't know or remember how to do it, in a few simple steps we show you the instructions to completely turn off your device.
In recent updates to the Android operating system, the power button is no longer used to turn off the Magic, but has been replaced by the virtual assistant, so the shutdown option has been a little more hidden.

Among the options displayed on the screen of the HTC Magic we choose "Power off". If a confirmation message appears, tap accept.

The screen will go dark and the HTC Magic will turn off, wait a few seconds or minutes for the shutdown to complete. When it is turned on again, it will request the PIN code of the SIM card and the pattern, fingerprint or unlock code.
1- First step:
First of all, we display the quick access or settings bar of your HTC Magic. To do this, with the HTC Magic unlocked, you can slide your finger from the top of the screen downwards, the shortcuts to device settings will be displayed.
2- Second step:
Swipe a second time to fully display the shortcuts panel. You will see in the lower right part a button with the symbol to turn on / off, click on this button to continue.
3- Third step:
Several options will be displayed on the Magic screen, including activating emergency mode, restarting, and the option we are looking for: "Turn off". Click on the "Turn off" button to continue.
If you cannot turn off the HTC Magic since it is blocked and the previous method does not work, we must proceed to turn it off and on again using the physical buttons.
To force shutdown your Magic press and hold the power button (or unlock button) for at least 8 seconds until the HTC or Android logo appears on the screen and release the button as it powers up again.
As a last resort, if you can't turn off the Magic with any of the above methods and you need to turn it off, you should wait for the battery to run down. You can keep the screen on and do heavy usage to drain the battery faster.
If it continues without responding and without turning off or has gone into a loop, it is possible that some internal component such as the motherboard, memory, the screen or even the power button has broken so you will have to repair it or resort to the guarantee.
