Valentine Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Seems a lot of new phones are coming out with non removable batteries. So what do you do when the phone hangs & does not respond. On the rare occasion it happens with my old phone one can simply remove the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 There should be some button combination which you can press and hold which accomplishes the same thing. What is the make/model? Often it is: hold volume down and/or up and simultaneously hold the power button for 5 - 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 On my Samsung you push the home button and the one that you use to shutdown the phone at the same time if it locks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thx for the help. Not sure what phone yet as just looking to buy but your info leaves the choices wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapd Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Holding down the power button for several seconds should hard reset it. Maybe in combination with holding down the volume up or down but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
