Samsung Note 10: Soft Reset - how to do it

If you have problems with your Samsung Note 10, they can often be solved with the help of a soft reset. The process forces a reboot of the Samsung smartphone using a key combination, without deleting any data from the device.

How to perform a soft reset of the Samsung Note 10

If your Samsung Note 10 hangs and no longer responds to key presses or touches of the display, in most cases a software problem is the cause. This can be fixed most quickly and without data loss by performing a soft reset, which forces the device to restart.

1. To perform a soft reset, it is necessary that you simultaneously press the "On-Off Button" and the "Quiet Button" of the Samsung Note 10.
2. Please hold down the two buttons until the screen of the Samsung smartphone first turns black and then the device reboots.
3. If the soft reset was performed successfully, the login page of the Samsung Note 10 appears and you can unlock the device via PIN, password or pattern.

Samsung Note 10: What to do if the soft reset does not help

If the soft reset can not be performed, you have the alternative option to perform a factory reset, but all data will be deleted. To perform the factory reset, first press the "Volume down button" and the "Power button" for a few seconds and then the "Volume up button" and the "Power button" simultaneously until the recovery menu appears. Select the entry "Wipe Data/ factory reset" in this to reset the device and then restart it with "Reboot system now".
