System update seems to be stuck?

[Elija]

I started a system update about an hour ago and it is sitting on the white Sony Experia screen. The power button does not respond so I can't even interrupt the update to see if something crashed.

I only have Linux available so I couldn't use the PC update method so apart from disconnecting the phone from the charger and letting the battery die, is there anything I can do?

Yeah, try pressing both power button and volume up at the same time, the phone should turn off. Turn it on again.

You sir, are a life saver.

More like phone life saver, but glad it is fine now. :smileysmileythumbsup:

And data saver! I think I will finally get round to backing up the phone when the update is finished

Make it a "habit" from now on. It is important to have backups made every now and then.

[Elija]

Yeah I know. I have automated back ups of my PCs to a local server twice a day and a remote one every week. I've just not gotten around to setting up my phone back ups!

This is about to change!

A nice way to have data backed up is using PC Companion or using google's servers, but you need to do it.

When it gets released for Linux
