How to do a Soft or Hard Reset on phones Nokia Lumia in this instruction (in continuation to the post)

Not all technology in the world is ideal; there is none at all! This also applies to Nokia Lumia phones. Yes, the phones are good and of high quality, but like any operating system, they can freeze or go into a coma, but they do not have a “Reset” button, like on computers, and many phones do not even have the battery removed to reset the phone... Sometimes you have to invent various ways hard and soft reboots of phones to restore their working state, these were also invented by Nokia.

There are two types of resetting your phone and deleting content: Hard Reset And Soft Reset, which in most cases will bring your “beloved pet” back to life without visiting service centers and without wasting unnecessary nerves and energy.

Soft Reset on Nokia Lumia

Soft Reset fixes minor software glitches. In its action, Soft Reset is similar to simply removing and then replacing the smartphone battery. But, unfortunately, the cases of the latest Nokia devices are tightly sealed, and they can only be opened by contacting the Service Center.

As shown in the picture above, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until the smartphone vibrates three times. A few seconds after this, the phone should reboot successfully.

Hard Reset on Nokia Lumia

Sometimes a regular “soft reboot” does not help to “revive” the smartphone. In such cases, there is nothing left but a hard reboot (that is, Hard Reset).

Important! All information stored on the phone will be lost when performing a Hard Reset.

If the phone is turned on and working, you can reboot through the menu: Settings -> Device information -> Reset settings. This will roll back all settings of your device to factory settings. If the operating system is frozen and does not want to boot, use the method described below:

Step 1: Turn off your phone.

Step 2. Perform a 3-button reset

Almost all Nokia smartphones have an inconvenient 3-button reset. As with Soft Reset, you will need to hold down the Volume Down and Power + Camera buttons. Hold all three buttons until the phone vibrates, then release the Power button, but hold the Camera and Volume Down buttons for another 5 seconds.

Step 3. The phone is rebooted! On this moment, all settings of your device have been restored to factory settings.

Attention! These methods do not always help, it also happens that the phone cannot be revived without visiting the Service Center, but as a rule, for most cases of errors, these two methods help and bring the phone back to life. If this does not happen, then it is better not to experiment and take your Nokia Lumia phone to the Service Center, where it will be repaired under warranty.

What is Hard Reset? I myself asked this question once, for the reason that I read in one article about how to solve a problem with firmware that, after an update, lost the Russian language. That's when I wondered.

Now, I want to help you too by telling you, How to do Hard Reset. In general, as the question was originally asked, what is Hard Reset? – abbreviated as XP (many of us like to abbreviate phrases), with its help we restore the device to factory settings, having previously agreed to delete all information installed in the device.

How to prepare a little?

By deleting all information, there is a risk of deleting something important, so it’s worth it on time, but if you are sure that there is no important data on the device, then you make a backup copy only if you wish.

Please note that XP should not be done right away, as it happens that phone frozen, and any key press has no effect on it, in such cases you usually just hold down the Power button (turn on/off the device) and hold it for about 10 seconds, the phone should just turn off.

I myself often encounter similar problems, and, like you, I strive to solve the problems of my pocket pet.
