Can you explain more? What do you mean it crashes the software? Is a crash bad?

The hitting the sleep button 6 or so times crashes the sprinboard. What that means is it crashes part of the software and it restarts in response. It has become a popular method amongst the blind community and I'm not sure of its origin. It is not likely a good idea. I would challenge anyone to find this documented as a reset method in Apple documentation anywhere. So if you think crashing part of the OS as a fast way to reset and the associated risks are a good idea, go for it. Probably not the best idea. It has been talked about on the list at least one time recently and decided was probably not recommended. Of
course one is welcome to do whatever they want at whatever risk.

You just hit the button at the top of your phone six or so times, and it does a soft reset. It doesn't take as long as holding down the sleep button then powering off, and doesn't reset as deeply. Still some have found that
it helps with little problems like these.

and what will it do to your phone?

Subject: Earpiece Problem

I have a problem and I thought someone would have discussed it by now, but I don't see anything. I have an iPhone 4S, and sometimes VoiceOver just decides to switch to the earpiece. This has become very annoying. It only happened in the last month or so. If I toggle VoiceOver by hitting the home button thrice or do a soft reset by hitting the sleep button six times it resets to the earpiece. For a fix I have to bumble around with my phone against my ear and launch an app such as Voice Memos which resets
control back to the speaker. Any thoughts?
