The whole thing froze, completely unresponsive

I was listening to the FM radio for the first time on my experia zl and the whole thing froze. It will not respond to anything,

I can hold the start button for 5 minutes with no response.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

the phone is frozen, nothing works, period,the view screen stays on displaying the fm radio app.

No touch screen, absolutely no repsonse from the power button, not response from the volume control, no response from the camera button.

Even the old windows blue screen of death was more responsive than this.

press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds

Nothing, held it for 30/40 seconds (slow count).

Looks like I will need to let the power run out and then restart (whenever that happens).

It's also quite warm where the experia label is on the back.
