How to power off a Four S61

How to turn off Four S61 if it is not responding?

If you cannot turn off the Four S61 since it is blocked and the previous method does not work, you must proceed to turn it off and on again using the physical buttons.

To force shutdown your S61 press and hold the power button (or unlock button) for at least 8 seconds until the Four or Android logo appears on the screen and release the button as it powers up again.

As a last resort, if you can't turn off the S61 with any of the above methods and you need to turn it off, you should wait for the battery to run down. You can keep the screen on and do heavy usage to drain the battery faster.

If the device still does not respond, does not turn off, or is stuck in a loop, it may indicate a hardware issue, such as a malfunctioning motherboard, memory, screen, or power button. In this case, you may need to have it repaired or use your warranty.
