A soft reset abruptly turns your Samsung Galaxy off and back on.
- Simultaneously press and hold the volume down button and the power button.
- Release both buttons when the Samsung Galaxy logo appears on the screen.
Why this works:
A soft reset is a great way to fix a Samsung Galaxy that’s frozen or won’t turn on. It will sometimes fix software glitches that can cause a variety of problems on your phone!
Pro tip:
- A soft reset isn’t a permanent fix. The software bug on your Samsung Galaxy might still be there, which can cause the problem you just fixed to return again.
