Hello James. I agree with your comments below. It would seem to me that
Apple would not have made a reset/reboot feature so easily doable.
Pressing the sleep/power button over and over seems too easy. The reason
I don't feel that a reset/reboot should be easy is because this way it
avoids you doing it by accident. Pressing the sleep/power and the home
button for 10 seconds or more, for example, takes some effort, and you
can't do it by accident. So if the phone locks up, or acts strangely,
this is what I use.
Cheers.

I could be wrong, but I agree that some terms may be being confused
here. I do not believe the settings menu allows you to do the same as
holding the home and power button and just rebooting. I think that
reset referrs to reloading everything which will take a lot longer and
be much different than rebooting or what might be termed a hard reset.
I have always wondered if in some way I might be incorrect, but I
believe that the pressing of the power button five or six times just
crashes part of the OS causing it to reboot in response? It does do
less of a complete reboot than if you actually do it by turning the
phone off or the shortcut that turns it off and restarts it
automatically when you hold the home and power buttons down. I have
never found anything documented about the pressing of the power button
five or six times and I really think that just crashes the springboard
and it restarts itself in response. I have done it a time or two, but
methods like that make me nervous. Along with being undocumented, some
of the affects may also be undocumented!

Hi, I'm thinking that the term "reset" and "reboot" and "restore" may be
used interchangeably or incorrectly. Resetting your phone is done from
the Settings App. This can involve setting the icons to alphabetical
order, or it can involve totally wiping your phone as if it was new.
This is also called Restoring. Don't you love all these terms? Now if
your phone is acting strange, or not responding, then rebooting might be
in order. Some people will say there is a soft and a hard reboot. I
really don't know which is which, but pressing the sleep button for 5 or
6 times quickly seems to reboot it rather quickly. So maybe this is a
soft reboot? If you do what you are asking about, where you press sleep
and home at the same time for about 10 to 15 seconds, it reboots and
takes a bit longer to come up. Hard reboot maybe?
I haven't googled anything I said here, so if I'm totally wrong, I'm
sure I'll be corrected.
Good luck.

What kind of reset does the power button and the Home button perform?

Yes, go in to the settings menu and do it from there.

Hi all,
Can some one tell me what Is another way to do a reset of the phone?
The power button of my Iphone 4 does not seem like working, no respond
when
I tried to press it. It can be a hardware problem. But the phone is
still
working fine. So, if I cannot use that button together with the home
button
to reset the phone, is there another way to do it?
Many thanks in advance for all the respond.
Danny
