[Q] Quick reboot using buttons?

---

I saw a thread on this for the Vibrant but that method doesn't seem to work for the Fascinate.

On the G1 you could hold down the call+Menu+hangup and it would reboot.
On the Vibrant you apparently can hold the power button down for 10+ seconds and it reboots.

Anyone know what it is for the Fascinate?

if it takes 10+ seconds to reboot wouldn't it just be faster to turn it off then back on?

well if your phone freezes it's much easier to hit a combo of buttons instead of pulling the battery. and if it freezes u wouldn't be able to reboot normally. plus it's much quicker when you're installing roms as it's an instant reboot and doesn't have to kill everything

if it freezes whats to say the button combo would work either? seems like if the normal shutdown and boot up isnt working your best real option is to remove the battery.

why the hell don't we have a reboot option when we hold the power button down?

Is there a way to add that?

On the G1 if it froze, the button combo did a reset. No need to pull battery I liked that feature a lot.

When I used to have my BlackBerry there was a key combo to reset it. Wish my Fascinate had one too. Then again, I dont usually have to reset my Fascinate as often as I did my BB.
