    Power Off: reboots vs. powering off ??

    Has anybody else noticed that when you power your DX off that it reboots the phone but doesn't actually turn it off ??
    I am not rooted.
    Any thoughts ??

    Yes, this has started happening to me about a month or so ago. Power off just makes the phone restart instead of actually turning it off about 97% of the time.

    It's been happening to me for about a month now. It hasn't been any problem so far. I haven't had any reason turn it off. I am glad I'm not the only one having this issue though.

    learn to read next time. He is stock and the only option they have is power off.

    But huh thats weird though. I like it to restart like that but sometimes i do want it off. You can just pull the battery off if you want to have it off. Dont worry it wont damage your phone.

    So does mine, but it's really no big deal as it takes 2 seconds to pull the battery out & then YOU KNOW 100% that it's off.

    When I power off (hold the power button on top for 1 second, and select "power off" from the menu) my phone turns off and stays off until I hold the power button down to turn in back on.

    Is that the way you are turning the phone off?

    Mine does it 1 out of 3 times. It started after the last update.. and no, I'm not rooted. It does it more when its on 1x signal. Hopefully they fix in update, related question, why is there no stock reboot option, only a turn off? Even the crappy palm pre had that.
