Methods to Power Off PinePhone - Rocky - 02-29-2020

First off let me say how pleased I am with this device. 
UBPorts Ubuntu Touch seems very functional.
Interface is just easy to navigate.

I hope this subject isn't stupid as I prefer GUI interface and the actual hardware power button (switch) seems funky.
Like why should I have to hold in power button for 30 seconds < > to powerdown.
Sometimes device goes through shutdown actions just to suspend.

In Ubuntu Touch software interface I can't find shutdown nor poweroff setting.

Oh yea plugging in the usb-c charging adapter to charge the PinePhone powers phone on? What the heck am I missing.
Is that normal.

Do I have resort to terminal commands
As this is my first mobile "phone" I wish there was some very basic documentation for PinePhone like a PDF user manual.

Maybe I'm asking for too much.
Please be my community!
How to be a newb - Just ask me ...  Undecided

I guess I just need more time to get familiar with PinePhone.
Now the power off dialogue confirmation appears on screen. I just wasn't pressing the hardware power button in long enough.

There's a Shut Down button on the system indicator.
Swipe from the time at the top and while dragging down, slightly swipe to the right.
You'll see the other options there like lock Wink

pull down the top bar, battery and time icons.
then you can scroll that left & right to see the power icon.
