Hi all,
I think there's a little confusion about procedures for rebooting
and resetting iOS devices. Powering off and then back on the iOS
device, and removing apps from the app switcher, both as David
describes below, are great tools and should indeed be the first
things to try. By holding down POWER and HOME for about seven
seconds you can reboot the phone; I wouldn't describe it as
rebooting any drivers, it's more along the lines of forcibly
shutting down and resetting the phone - like pressing the
recessed REBOOT button on many computers which forces a reboot
without having to properly shut down the software.
The other trick of tapping POWER several times is something which
certainly is not documented at least in the case of the iPhone,
and which I've never heard of and which certainly doesn't do
anything on my phone. Still, if it does work, it would be very
hard indeed to cause OS corruption on these devices because
everything is sandboxed and relatively securely locked down.
iOS is pretty crash-proof in that regard; you'd have to do
something pretty drastic, and I can't think of anything that
would be drastic enough at the moment. Still, has anyone
actually found the repeated tapping of the power button to do
anything? As I say, I've never heard of this procedure other than
on this list.

Hello,
Before using that trick, which has a very small chance of causing
OS corruption:
1) Open the app switcher and remove the apps.
2) Turn the phone off by holding the power button until VO asks
you if you want to turn your device off. Double-tap the display
to select this option. Wait about 10 seconds. Press and hold
the sleep/wake power button for 3-5 seconds to start the turn-on
sequence.
{{?#}}:) If the first two don't correct the problem, reboot the
drivers by pressing and holding the power and home buttons for 10
to 12 seconds. Release the buttons and wait for about a minute
for the phone to rebuild its driver stacks. After doing this
twice, if the problem persists, you most likely have a hardware
problem and will want to take your phone to an apple store for
professional assessment.

I've never seen this trick in any documentation, and it produces
no effect on my iPhone 4S. Can anyone substantiate this? I've
seen it mentioned on the list a few times. Perhaps it only
applies to iPod Touches?

Hi,
A trick is to press the sleep wake button on the ipod five times
quickly, it should reset itself, and probably won't studder
anymore.
