Here is a list of actions to take to try to fix a frozen phone:
- Attempt to power off the device. Press and hold the power button for a long period of time. If successful, the device should shut off.
- If that does not work, try removing the battery and SIM card, if applicable to the device. Wait at least 15-30 seconds, then replace the components and attempt to power on the device. It should begin functioning normally.
- If the device will not respond, or continues to freeze up, connect the device to a computer to restore the device to factory settings and attempt to use the device.
- If the device will not power on, or continues to malfunction, consulting a qualified technician with the device may be the best option.
