I'm just one of the lucky ones that still has their case clips intact, otherwise 'remove cover' may not necessarily be a prerequisite :) Yes, the instructions for removing the cover really frightened me. 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

Sarton Oh! what makes you say that? and with such confidence too :) The follow up issue appears to be that it restarts when the battery is removed and replaced. 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 ...

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.

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?
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
