As any smartphone, this phone works really great when you purchase it, but, after a period of time, it starts to crash and freeze when you open some applications. For this reason, it is recommended to perform a hard reset to the factory settings of the phone. You might think that this process is difficult and you have to go to a GSM store and pay a fortune for a hard resetting your phone, but, actually, you will be able to do it by yourself.
There are the two methods to perform a hard reset. The first is considered to be the easy one. Here are the steps that you need to follow:
- From the main screen you have to select Settings
- From the Personal are, you will have to select Backup & reset icon.
- You have to touch the Factory data reset.
- Select Reset Phone (remember that you will lose any personal data on your phone)
- Choose Ok and the process will begin. Your phone will reboot with the factory settings.
- Your phone will restart and it will start up with the factory settings.
The second method uses the hardware buttons and works when the phone is unresponsive and you can`t access the menu of the device. Now you can try the following steps:
- Turn off your device.
- Press and hold the Volume Down and the Power button.
- Your phone will reboot in Recovery mode. Use the Volume buttons to navigate in the menu and the Power button to select an option.
- Using the Volume buttons navigate to the Wipe data/Factory reset option and select it using the power button.
- Using the Power button select Yes—delete all user data
- Select reboot system now
- Your phone will reboot with the factory settings
