Restart an LG Google Nexus 4

[Anonymous]

Hey Folks,

If i just want to restart the LG Google Nexus 4, do i just go to Settings-Backup and Reset - Factory Data Reset? 

Basically my micro sim and number porting needs a phone restart but I'm worried that everything will get erased off the phone if I do the above but I cannot see another way to turn the phone on and off.  Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I need help.  Thanks!

Press the power button for a second and select "Power off phone"

Can you not just long press the on/off switch? This should give an option to switch off or restart? You don't want to reset the phone back to factory settings.

It doesn't have a power off button thats the problem.............any suggestions?

[jonsie]

So how did you switch it on in the first place?

by putting the sim in..........maybe i should just do that as you can't remove the back or anything.
