    I reset my phone by going to settings,
    factory reset ,
    Now i turn on the phone , i see 3 logo, than htc and a few moving circle,s
    and now i just have a black screen .
    is there a way i can get to the recovery mode and start over.
    It s android 6.01 . htc phone.
    i do,nt know the model no.
    There,s no way of removing the battery in this phone .

    i did that a few time,s , all that happens is when i release the volume button the phone powers on, the htc logo appears,
    after 2 second s the phone go,s to a black screen.
    will i wait til the battery goes, to zero.
    its about 45 per cent now.
    And charge the phone .
    And see if it makes a difference .



    or should i just bring it to a phone repair shop .

    i plugged it, in, i,m charging it,
    It said charging phone , 1,per cent, 2 per cent,
    after 3 minute,s ,i pressed power button ,
    it says, loading android, part 1,2,3,4,
    5.6.7,8 ,9, 10,
    then it went back to charging mode.
    i think the phone has been on since i reset it at 2.10 pm,
    since there,s a black screen, there,s no way of turning it off.
    no way to remove the battery either.
    i turned it on ,
    now, i went thru 4 screen,s, turn ,on ,location, data , etc ,no it has loaded android fully.
    set up usb,allow usb to acess file,s =ok.
    So it looks fine.
    charging slowly from pc, at 3 per cent.
    5.52 gig used of 16gig.

    so its working fine,

    the reason i reset it was i could not find a way to switch off google voice,
    and i could not type a sms or email,
    it would just come up speak now, google assistant, i could not disable voice, i went to setting,s keyboard,
    and it said google voice keyboard , no option to set standard keyboard,
    before i did a reset,
    i could not set up a standard touch keyboard.
    i,ll charge it to 10 per cent .
    since i have to go out in 2o minutes

    google voice is off now, i can type on the standard keyboard .
    All the standard apps and icons are there now.
    i switched off power, now screen icon says charging 6 per cent

    Yes ,everything is normal , i can set the keyboard ,
    its set to standard android,
    no google voice, no assistant ,
    touch type onscreen .
    as in any android phone.
    Google voice ,assistant is not enabled,
    its set to factory default mode ,as is normal .After a factory reset.
    i thought it was crashing , cos all i saw was htc logo, then a black screen.
