So I experimented with a knife inserted in the slot and then swiped along the crack and it worked well. I can now do it easily with a fingernail always inserted at the same place just below the Power button, and never need to endanger the clips as the cover once loose lifts away. The cover has not worked loose, (and my fingernails are delicate). The insertion point shows no sign of damage on the black one and if I look very hard a tiny bit on the orange one. The latter has been done countless times due to above need for frequent battery removal. clare ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Holding the aux button accesses the NOR u-boot allowing you to shutdown or boot, whichever you prefer. As for the gta01, this may not be the case ...

I do however, especially with the GTA01, always remove the battery at this stage, and only replace it when I want to restart. cheers, clare > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yes, mine does to. But you cannot deny that, with exception to the case of another power source, the phone DID indeed turn off. :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: how do i turn the phone off?
Yeah, I've noticed it will stay alive for a while without the battery if USB is in. I could've sworn it stayed alive for a while when suspended without the battery once too... Is there any other evidence of this? I'd like to be able to hotswap the battery without needing USB power if possible ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Unplug the USB power cable. The FR is capable of operating without a battery (although GSM and some other bits are not). The correct answer is of course to open a terminal and enter the command "shutdown -h -P now". :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: how do i turn the phone off?
It takes about 5 seconds of holding the power button for the "Shutdown" message to appear. If you keep it pressed, it does a forced shutdown without waiting for programs to finish. And if all else fails, the instructions below work pretty well.
