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?
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:
