Have a frozen screen on this and need to reset the phone and power it off. Normally with previous phones I would just whip the battery out and put it back in. But in their wisdom they've made this with a fixed battery. So when your screen freezes you are fooked. Can press a button on the side to bring up options of reboot or power off, but to select them you have to press the screen. Which is pointless when it is frozen. Any ideas?

At the moment that is the best of my two options. But being a pretty new phone and being unable to access/use any apps to speed up the process, it will take a very long time to run it down when it isn't doing anything.
My other option involves a hammer but I can see the instant satisfaction not really leading to long term benefits.
Surely these bastards must have considered this problem when sticking a bloody fixed battery in it?

With the device turned on, press and hold the Power button and Volume up button for at least 5 seconds or until the device starts to vibrate.
Note: When the Power Off option appears on screen, ignore it and continue to hold the buttons.
Release the Power button and the Volume up button.
The device will turn off completely.
The device will reboot automatically.
Front the EE website, give it a try.

Good man, cheers. What is the upside of a fixed battery?
Obvious downsides being this problem, and that when your battery life is shot to sh1t you have to replace the whole phone and not just the battery, which is massively extreme.
Only potential upside for the customer is if they somehow keep their life better than a normal one. Or are they somehow much cheaper (not sure why they would be) than removable batteries and therefore the companies using them are just mugging off their customers to save money?

Built in obsolescence. Ensures the money keeps going round and around.
