Unfortunately, even the most modern mobile technology is not ideal. Periodic failures in the operation of the operating system may lead to the need for a reboot for further normal operation of the device. But such a function is often missing in phones, and sometimes it is not even possible to remove the battery in order to perform an emergency reset. That is why manufacturers come up with a variety of methods for performing soft and hard reboots. Manufacturers of the Nokia Lumia smartphone have not ignored this opportunity either.
Reset settings on Nokia Lumia
There are two types of reboot available in this model: Soft Reset and Hard Reset. Most often, carrying out a simple manipulation completely revives the phone and saves the owner from the need to go to a service center. Let's look at these types of reboots in order to determine which one is necessary in a particular case.
Using Soft Reset will help get rid of the consequences of minor failures in the operating system. In its action, this operation is in many ways similar to the usual removal and subsequent installation of the battery into the device case. But due to the fact that opening the case in Nokia Lumia can only be done at a service center, to soft reboot the smartphone, perform the following sequence of actions:
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons located on the side of the phone;
wait for three consecutive vibrations;
release the buttons.
In just a few seconds, the phone will reboot successfully.
If the previous procedure did not help correct the situation and the smartphone does not start working properly, you can use the Hard Reset function. It is very important to remember that performing a Hard Reset will lead to the loss of all information stored in the device’s memory and will cause the changed settings to be rolled back to the factory default settings. But if operating system froze and could not be rebooted using the method described above, try the following:
Unplug your Nokia Lumia phone;
perform a three-button reboot, that is, press and hold the volume down, Power buttons and the button responsible for turning on the camera;
wait until the device vibrates;
release the Power button;
hold the other two buttons for about 5 more seconds.
If using Hard and Soft Reset did not lead to the desired result and the phone continues to act up, then take it to a service center. Specialists will be able to fix normal functioning Nokia Lumia under warranty service. You should not continue experiments, since any attempts to open the case and remove the battery yourself will lead to termination of the warranty agreement. In this case, any further work on the repair and maintenance of the smartphone will be paid.
