Wondered about the recommended method of powering down Rock64 running Android. Found a post in the Pine64 section from 2016. Here's what I experienced.
1. Short press of the power button on Rock64 = blanks the screen. Short press a second time brings up the screen.
2. Long press of the power button on Rock64 = displays power off / restart dialog box. Defaults to power off, press Enter, Rock64 powers off. Arrow down to Restart, then Enter, Rock64 says powering down, and then it restarts.
3. Restarting via the settings menu (Settings - About - Restart) also restarts but I couldn't find anything in settings about shutting down.
4. Pressing the reset button on Rock64 = resets (probably not recommended, doesn't correctly close first, just hard reset like pulling the power?).
5. If off - pressing the power button = powers it up, pressing the reset button = powers it up.
I assume my results are by design. If not, best method for powering down? Don't want to corrupt the eMMC. Thanks.
NOTE: base Android, not Android TV build. Not sure if the results would be the same.
