How to power off Samsung A6 without screen The screen on my Galaxy A6 is dead. Until I possibly get it repaired, I would like to shutdown the phone, mainly to stop the alarm which I cannot turn off without the screen.

I have seen plenty of instructions on how to force it to reboot (power + vol. down), and on how to hard reset it. But that is not what I want. I just want to turn the phone off.

(it would be easy if I could remove the battery, but that is not possible either, and I didn't think of checking that before buying that thing...)
You can take out the battery, as shown here:

if you are willing to DIY 

(You might need to go that route anyway, if you plan to replace the screen yourself -- which is probably much cheaper and faster than using a repair shop)

P.S. Actually, it's probably best to let the battery drain before opening the phone, but I'm not sure.
