I was using my phone for some internet activity.  Suddenly it froze up.  I tried pressing the start/reset button but it never got to that screen.  It has been looping between the Google screen and no (black) screen for hours.  I have tried the start screen button numerous times.  No way to restart the phone.  If I could access the battery I am sure removing it would solve the problem - but, of course, no way to access the battery.
