Despite the focus on the hardware issues, just like with the factory reset, this process is pretty invasive.
Since hardware and software work hand in hand, the action will still erase all the data stored on your smartphone.
Apps will also be uninstalled and settings will once again require a detailed restore and personalization.
1. So lets get started, please unlock your device and press and hold power button.
2. When you will see this menu you can let go of the power button.
3. Now all you have to do is tap on Reboot/Restart option to finish.
4. And this is it! your device will work faster and smoother after the restart.
A Soft Reset (or Forced Restart) differs from a Hard Reset (or Factory Restore) in that it doesn’t delete any essential data from the smartphone or tablet but you may lose some RAM or temporary data, for example any unsaved game progress or the page you were viewing on a website.
A Hard Reset on the other hand would only be required when you want to wipe all data from the device, starting it over.
