Restore the original settings if the phone is not working properly. If you can’t start your phone after it freezes, a factory reset will help fix the problem. Note, restoring to factory settings will erase all data on the phone; so make sure you back up your data before doing this. [6] X Research Source
- Turn off the phone.
- Press the Recovery button combination until the recovery screen is displayed. These buttons will vary depending on your phone:
- Most Android – Power button and volume down button
- Samsung – Power button, volume up button and Home button
- Use volume down button to scroll to Recovery option, then press power button to select.
- Select Wipe data / factory reset (Wipe data / restore factory settings) and press the power button. Select Yes to confirm. Once the installation is complete, your phone will be rebooted and you can set it up as it was when you first bought it.
Advice
- If you can’t fix the freeze, it’s better to back up the data on your phone as soon as you can. A freeze is an issue related to some serious problem on the phone, which means that the data on the device can be lost at any time if it is not backed up.
- The phone often freezes or flickers when it is soaked in water or other liquid. If your phone has been dropped (or soaked) in water, you should take it to a technical center instead of restarting the device yourself. [7] X Research Sources
Warning
- One of the causes of freezes is that the phone no longer supports the operating system, applications and other data being used. This usually happens on phones that are at least 4 years old and longer.
