Unfortunately, I have never done the hard reset and had VoiceOver come on
again without having to connect my phone to ITunes to turn it back on. .
Luckily, the only times I have had to do it, I was at home.I am glad it
comes on again for you, I hope that if I ever have to do it when I am not
here, it comes back on for me. I am running an IPhone 5, with the latest
IOS.

Actually, pressing the sleep and home buttons simeltaneously for 10 seconds
is not the same as holding in the power button on a windows machine.
Pressing the sleep button six times in rapid succession is the same as
holding the power button on a windows machine as it crashes the iOS
springboard. In fact, this method only works when VO is turned on, and can
damage your system.
Press and hold the power and home buttons for 10 seconds is Apple's
recommended method for clearing out all the driver stacks and rebuilding
them. This does not happen when you turn the iOS device off then back on
again.
Unfortunately, there is a very occasional bug in iOS which you experienced.
Sometimes, when press and hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, VO
resets itself to factory default and deactivates. Nothing else is effected,
and this only happens very occasionally. My understanding, from several
months ago, is that Apple had not yet been able to reproduce this particular
bug. When I tested it with my older iPhone 4 by performing several hard
resets in a row, the bug occurred twice in 30 resets.
Having been a beta tester multiple times for different companies, I can
state that, no matter how much we believe bugs are easy to fix, until a bug
occurs reliably, it is extremely difficult to track down. Once it has been
tracked down, repairing it may not be a simple matter for many reasons, the
strongest in my mind is that, sometimes when a minor bug is fixed, the
change causes very major problems elsewhere.
All of this is to say, write an email to [email protected] explaining
what happened so they will know that this particular bug is still very
occasionally present. Note: I have not experienced this bug since the last
iOS upgrade.

device.
Sorry to be so repetitive, but I'm looking for a credible answer and I
keep
getting descriptions of what the process will do, processes which I have
already conveyed knowledge of. I've already found out it wipes out
VoiceOver, so I'm curious how the process effects other functions of the
OS.

pressing the home and sleep button is a way to reset the device. It is
different from pressing the sleep button alone, (sleep button alone) for
turning it off and turning back on again.
To turn off your device, press and hold sleep button for a few second,
until
you hear voiceover anouncing something a long the line "shudding down
iphone, slide right for ok or left for cancel."
After you have slide according to your option, voice over will either say
"iphone is shudding down" or you will back to wherever you were.

Thank you, You're a credible source, and I can obviously now confirm this
fact. Had I followed my intuition and waited a little longer, I would
have
saved myself some unnecessary frustration. To be clear, the simultaneous
press of the Sleep button and Home button on an IOS device is comparable
to
pressing and holding the power button to force a shut down on a Windows
computer, right?

There is no direct restart. If the device totally hangs, you can hold the
power and home buttons for about 10 seconds to force a reset. Otherwise,
to
restart, you will need to shut down, then turn on the device again.

Hi all,
Just curious, can one execute the equivalent of a reboot on an IOS
device
such as iPod Touch 5th gen? I'd like to simulate the "restart" process
found
in a Windows computer. I know I can press and hold the Sleep/Power
button
for about 4 seconds and at the prompt double-tap the screen to shut
down,
but I'm finding that I forget I completely shut the thing down. In other
words, I would like to find a way of using some sort of IOS process to
shut
down then automatically restart my iPod.
