    How to force a shutdown?

    Hi!

    My phone is f*cking arround again. This time the email app has crashed the whole system so that I even can't power it off. How can I force a shutdown without damaging my phone? Removing the battery sounds pretty harsh to me...

    Any ideas?

    Thx!

    removing the battery wouldn't have any adverse effects over any other 'forced' shutdown method. IMO

    I remove the battery whenever this happens. No effect.

    Thx for the quick reply guys. Just did that and it really didn't have any bad side effects. Guess the only bad situation for this could be when the phone is writing to the flash while removing the battery.

    I hope the next FW update will rather adress slowdowns and crashes instead of new apps.
