So, For these steps we usually prefer Soft Reset.
Soft reset:
In this case when the phone is locked and does not respond to any action. Of course, the first thing is to make sure so just press the power button for several seconds to see if the phone performs an orderly shutdown. If the phone still does not respond, for phones with removable battery , just follow these steps (which I think we all have know already):
- Open the terminal (removing the box as necessary)
- Remove the battery to let the phone without power
- Wait a few seconds for the phone fully discharged
- Replace the battery and the corresponding case
- Boot the phone normally
This is fine for phones with removable battery. But as we know, Nokia is making rug phones and they also become famous thanks to its polycarbonate body (for example, Nokia Lumia 920) and that is not easy to remove the battery. So for these phones, how do I do?
Dont worry we have a solution for this as well.

Nokia explains that there is a way and that is to simultaneously press the button on/off with the volume down button for about 10 seconds.
You will notice that the phone vibrates, and thats when we can release the buttons. The result is that the phone will reboot and will start as if it had been turned off.With this method, the information we have on the phone should not alerted.
