Shutting down Jolla with "halt" command? [not relevant]
Hello. I was in the Terminal and wanted to shut down my phone, so I tried to do so using the "halt" command. After I pressed enter, it waited 2 seconds and the screen became black instantly, without having the bottom red led as when we press the power button.
But then when I plugged it into the charger, or when I tried to boot, nothing happened. And I noticed that a red led was visible on the proximity sensor. The phone was apparently stuck. I removed the battery, the led switched off and I was then able to boot normally.
But since then, I can see this red led on the proximity sensor (on the right). It's not very flashy but if I am in the dark I can perfectly see it and I don't remember to have seen it before.
So my questions:
- Has somebody already tried the "halt" command. Is it bad to use it? I am afraid to retry.
- Are you able to see this led on your phones? Is it normal or should I do a reset?
Thanks!
I have been using the "init 6" command every time I want to restart the phone. However I've been told by a few friends (Linux users) that that's the same as removing the battery (well, almost).
That being said, can someone confirm it, and if it's not a proper way, point me in the right direction? Maybe with systemctl?
