You should reset your Alcatel One Touch OT-995 if the mobile can’t be switched on/switched off by power key, or switch off automatically, and the failure is not related to battery. Please back up all the useful information or it will be deleted after phone reset.

Reset your mobile means to set your mobile phone into the state as when it comes out from factory. Please be noted that after phone reset all personal data added by the user will be lost (except SIM card), which includes: pictures, audio, video, downloaded applications and games, products directory data and WAP bookmark etc.

Before proceeding towards the reset procedure, you must make sure that the phone battery is almost full, all of your data has been backed-up (including contacts, media files, pictures, music, etc.) and that the SIM card and SD card are not inserted. Although this last step is not mandatory and the reset procedure should not affect data stored on them, you can never know for sure.
