I have a 3G iPhone. Works fine aside from the off button (top right) doesn't work. No big deal, I have it on 'sleep' after 60 seconds and keycode after 15 mins, so the loss of the off switch and screen shots is no great loss.
However, I do need to shut it down every now & then to reboot; today for example I have 3 x apps that won't update, they are 'stuck' on waiting to load mode. I know they'll simply update if I just reboot the phone, I know the phone will reboot when I plug it in to recharge after the battery totally dies, but this will be a 36 hour wait. * syncing the iPhone does not clear the 'waiting to update' glitch BTW.
So, is there a simple way of rebooting the iPhone without waiting for the battery to totally die?![Cool :Cool: :Cool:](/mac_images/images/smilies/Cool.png)
thanks in advance
I've tried all of those urban myth options of squeezing the phone at the top right corner and pushing the button etc, I could do with a more scientific suggestion now :Blushing:
