I've been on these lists a while, and that method was suggested. Then it was explained what it actually did, but can't find that on the net now.
It went something like - disrupting a critical system stack and it forced a reset. But it sent the system into an unstable state, so getting away with it was no guarantee you would always manage it. So, the following links seems to describe the main ways of re-starting/rebooting/etc. Clicking the power button a bunch of times is not one of them. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-restart-or-reset-your-iphone.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Krasniuk" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2015 6:29 PM Subject: Re: Pressing The Power Button On An iPhone 6 Times Ok, I'm confused.
