How do you turn the Phone OFF?

[alertdriving]

This is NOT a JOKE!

I have a HTC Apache.

How can I turn the phone off?

Button 1. Press to turn on and off your device or backlight.

a.When I press it, the backlight turns off, press it again turns backlight on.
b.Hold it down and it just turns the backlight off


I am downloading HTC Apache AKU 2.2 Software Update now and will install it shortly

As far as I'm awarem you can't turn them off... If you don't want to be disturbed, turn flight mode on, but I've never figured out a way to actually turn it off, short of ripping the battery out, but this might be risky on some devices. Sorry, I don't know much about the devices I don't have, and I only have a Blue Angel and a Universal...

I've not tried it on the apache, but could you try my program VJEschaton, using the option
VJEschaton -sleep

It should be able to put Intel xscale based phones to long term sleep (ie effectively switch it off).

Thanks for the infor.
Why would they make a phone without a OFF SWITCH???
:oops: :oops:
In the manual it says, "Always turn off your device before perorming a soft reset or install/replace the battery..

:cry: :cry:

Don't get me started on them not including the power off feature:

A short press of the standby button will put the PDA in standby. Holding it longer turns the backlight on and off.

If you hold the end call button for a few seconds, it puts the phone part in flight mode.
