iphone/ipad force shutdown

iPhone 3G Force Shut-Down


I’ve had my iPhone 3G for a bit over 2 weeks now and am loving it!
But it is a bit glitchy at locking up (especially when the battery is low or you disconnect during a sync with iTunes)
If some does happen (such as the unlock screen not accepting your keystrokes to unlock it and you can’t for some reason power off just by holding the top button for a few seconds) then you either have to drain the battery
- lengthy and not great if as me you may have to do something such as get on a plane!
Or much more handily, use the force power down – like on any computer, iPod etc.
(The image shows a key being pressed, however this digit isn’t being recognised by the phone – this is when you may need to force quit)

What you do is press and hold the top right button (for locking/unlocking) and also the big button at the bottom of the screen – hold them down for between 5 – 10 seconds, and your phone will just switch off
Turn as normal and it should work!
