TECH TIP: RESTART YOUR SMARTPHONE

Unresponsive iPhone? Here's How to Force Restart or Reset Your Device


All great tech fails every now and then, and thankfully there are ways to easily bring devices back to life when they freeze up. If your iPhone isn't responding and you're not able to power it off and then on again, you can force restart it to hopefully fix the issue.


Normal Restart: Forcing a restart is different than a normal restart. Though a normal restart is the first thing you should try in this situation, it may not be an option with an unresponsive phone. A regular restart is a more straightforward and standard way to turn your iPhone on and off again. You'll want to try doing this first by:

  • holding down one of the volume buttons and the side button, and dragging the power off slider.
  • To turn your iPhone back on, hold down the side button again until the Apple logo appears.
  • (If you have an iPhone 8 or older, just hold down the side or top button, then drag the power off slider.)
  • If your iPhone isn't responding to that, then you'll want to force a restart.

Force Restart: And as iPhone designs have changed over the years, so have the buttons and commands, which is why the steps for forcing a restart vary depending on the phone you have. Meaning that forcing a restart on an iPhone 11 or 12 will be different than doing the same on an iPhone 7.


iPhone 8 and up -

  • Quickly press and let go of the volume up button.
  • Quickly press and let go of the volume down button.
  • Press and hold the side button, until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go.

iPhone 7 -

  • Press and hold the volume down button and sleep/wake button at the same time.
  • Let go of both buttons when the Apple logo appears on screen.

iPhone 6 and older (1st Gen SE)

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time.
  • Let go of both once the Apple logo appears on screen.

Android

Because of the amount of work and stress, Android devices are put to due to everyday use, it’s bound to encounter failing situations like freezing. Techie types of people know that it’s just a common scenario that’s very likely to occur. However, for most average users, this can be very frustrating. To fix this issue, just force reboot your Android device and resume its normal operation again.


Method 1: Forcing Reboot by Removing the Battery

  • Check if your device is completely frozen. Try pressing all the keys your Android device has and see if there’s any response. A device that has been frozen or completely stuck will not work no matter what button you press.
  • Remove the back cover. Most, if not all, Android devices, regardless of the make and model, have accessible parts like its memory card, SIM card and battery, often at the back part. Back panels can be removed by prying it off from a notch you’ll see along the sides, or by simply sliding it off the phone.
  • Remove the battery. Flip the battery out of your device. The Android should shut down due to the absence of power, forcibly resetting your Android device.
  • Place back the battery. After a few moments, put the battery back and put the back cover on.
  • Restart your device. Press and hold the device’s power button until you see the manufacturer's logo on the screen. Your Android phone or tablet should resume its normal operation.

Method 2: Forcing Reboot Using the Console Screen

  • Check if your device is completely frozen. Try pressing all the keys your Android device has and see if there’s any response. A device that has been frozen or completely stuck will not work no matter what button you press.
  • Force shutdown the device. Press and hold your Android device’s Power button and the Volume Down key for at least 5 seconds or until the screen shuts down. Release the buttons once you see the screen lighting up again. Instead of the usual welcome screen, a black screen will appear showing a list of text options. This is the Android console, or boot, screen.
  • Reboot the device. Using your Volume keys, move up or down the text options and highlight “Reboot System Now” from the Console screen. Press the Power button to select this option and your Android device will restart.
  • Wait as the device reboots. The device screen will shut off and then switch on again as it reboots. It should be able to start up, reach the usual welcome screen or logo, and after a few seconds, resume normal operation.
