How to soft reset
Soft resetting is just the process of rebooting your phone. In contrast, a hard rest is when you remove everything from the phone to restore it to the factory state.
Normally you can simply restart the phone in the normal way via the power button, but if it has crashed, that may not be possible.
To soft reset your phone press and hold the Power/Lock button for around 8 to 10 seconds. The phone will restart automatically.
If that doesn’t work, then remove the battery (if it has one). Wait 30 seconds and put the battery back in. Then press the Power/Lock button to turn the phone on.
