To restore to factory settings, you can use our primary method that will erase all of the files. However, in case you’re only having some minor issues with the device, you might as well want to try a soft reset. In both cases, we highly recommend saving everything on another phone, a computer, a tablet or a memory card before you get going.

Powered by the Ice Cream Sandwich from Android, a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon chipset and a 1 GHz processor, there are a 2G and a 3G network available on the Liquid Glow. In addition to all these features, the internal memory adds up to 1 GB of total space while the phone uses an Adreno 200 as its GPU.

RESTORING THE ACER LIQUID GLOW

As previously suggested, we’d like to come back to the easiest way to get rid of your problems. Therefore, if your phone is continuously rebooting, it doesn’t vibrate or ring when you get a phone call, forgets to ring the alarm when it was meant to, won’t make phone calls or it simply freezes every now and again, this solution might be the best one to choose.

In order to start with the soft reboot version, you should first press the Power button with the phone turned on. Hold the key for about 10 seconds, until you notice that the device switched off. Once this is done, please charge the device until it’s full, and then remove all cables. Open the tray on the back and take both the memory card and the battery out. Reinsert them after a minute or two and switch the Acer back on.
