Today whilst I was out shopping I went to listen to my music which started fine then I tried to go back to the home screen whilst the music was playing (I have done this numerous times without any issue) and without warning the music stopped and the phone 'froze' I tried to hold the power button to force it to shut-off but it didn't work then I tried the soft reset (Vol Down + Power) but that didn't work I then tried vol up + power also didn't work, I avoided the hard reset (vol down+power+camera) because I was not at home and didn't want to muck anything up so out of chance I tried Power+Camera and within 10secs it was rebooting. The funny thing is I cannot find anywhere that explains what Power+Camera does so does anyone on here know?

I have this as well. While listening to music the phone will freeze completely. On mine, however, it works with only pressing the power button. Hold it for about 10-20 seconds, and it reboots.

Then maybe when I tried just the power button I didn't hold it down long enough and then when I tried with the power+camera it ignored the camera button and only registered the power button and that time I held it down long enough for a reboot

That's possible. I have never tried power+camera. Don't know if it is a key combination with an actual meaning... (With meaning I mean for example power+vol up+camera = hard reset)

Just had mine go that was downloading Zune music and playing at same time. Hold power off for 10 seconds and reset good as new.
