Missing power off app button

I've just installed the latest update and discovered my power off app button has gone. I've discovered from other online forums that you can get round this by clicking on the battery icon (top right) but surely BlackBerry should have tried to fix the app problem and not just take it away? Many users will have come to rely on the power off app. BlackBerry please explain this madness!

I can only assume that they've removed it because the functionality is replicated in the battery icon, as you've pointed out - and also when you hold the power button for a few seconds.
My personaly feeling is that having power as an 'app' is redundant anyway because of these other two methods. Indeed, you couldn't access the power options through the battery icon in the first PlayBook release.
I didn't know it had been removed because I'd deleted the app from my PlayBook a long time ago.

  • IPhone will not power off, app will not change , two screens display at one time

    Hello, I have a phone that is stuck on one app. Can hold the off button for 3 minutes and will not turn off. Will hold the lower button to change app's and nothing. Can change subjects in the app stuck in and can see both screens while scrolling. Going to let the phone run out of power to see if that will help, but very inconveinent

    I seem to have found the answer by my own foolishness....
    I held down the on/off button on top and the "belly button" on the front bottom and whoosh! it came back to life.
    It would sure be nice if Apple would restore the Troubleshooting area of their website and include information like this so Luddites like myself could keep a lower blood pressure....

  • Computer froze, had to power off with button, now won't restart

    Can not get computer to restart after a hard power off

    Your computer is restarting.  It's just not getting to the desktop.  Please disregard my previous response to you.
    Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer.  Now reboot. If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again.  If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up.  At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver.   If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.  If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode.   If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.  If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."  If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up. Select your language. Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar. Select Disk Utility.   Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid. Click Repair Disk. (If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO) Restart your computer when done.   Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.  Remove any 3rd party ram.  Reinstall Snow Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy of Snow Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.   If your computer is still under warranty or you have Apple Care, take full advantage of it by letting tech support deal with your problems.  It's what you're paying them for. Out of warranty - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps wit

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

  • The round button that allows me to get out of an app or to move or delete apps has stopped working.  Once I am in an app the only way to get out of the app is to power off my ipod completely.  Help!

  • My iphone 4s is frozen and my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. HELP

    my iphone 4s is frozen on the lock screen. my lock button doesnt work and i cant slide to power off the phone. It has 100% battery and nothing happens when  i plug it into the computer.
    My phone screen also is in negative. It is like twitching and ive tried to invert the colors but thats not it. i cant see any apps, pictures , or anything in regular colors. PLEASE HELPPP!

    You can't.  You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone.  It will restart.
    Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed.

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

    Well, at least it's good that there are no hardware issues - that's a relief and one problem area that you can check off.
    OK, so let's summarize so I can get a clear picture of what's going on. If you try to download something from your web browser, what happens? What if you try to download a small utility such as "EasyFind" from the App Store? Or is the problem specifically linked to downloading updates?
    I'm just trying to get a feel for if anything really means anything?
    Usually what you download from, say, a website, goes into your Downloads folder. It's the default folder for things like that. Apps from the App Store are downloaded to your Applications folder. And software updates are generally, I believe, held in a temporary folder so that they can be installed (in many cases) when you're asked to restart.
    It could be something as simple as repairing permissions on your start-up disk. You're running Snow Leopard, right? (That's what your profile says.) Try opening Disk Utility from your Utilities folder, selecting your boot disk and try verifying permissions. If you come up with some errors, try repairing permissions. After that, go ahead and verify your boot disk - you won't be able to repair it at this point, but at least you can see if you have any errors.
    Let me know about the anything and get back to me after you've verified and repaired permissions and verified your boot drive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
