The brand new 2015 Moto X Pure Edition has a lot to offer buyers. A huge 5.7-inch Quad-HD display, dual front speakers, tons of customization, and pretty much anything from stock Android. It’s a popular phone for its low price, and as a result, a lot of questions are being asked about it. This quick guide explains how to reset a frozen Moto X Pure Edition.
Motorola’s impressive new flagship smartphone is getting a lot of attention now that it’s available online and shipping to buyers. Mainly because it is a wallet-friendly high-end smartphone Asking price of $399. That low price means it could be the first Android or the first Motorola for some owners, and you need to know how to perform certain tasks.
It shouldn’t happen often but there can be a situation where the Moto X Pure Edition becomes unresponsive and not working. You can’t remove the battery like some Android phones or most older Samsungs, but fortunately, there’s an easy-to-press key combination that will save owners from being frustrated by a frozen smartphone.
One trick that fixes almost any minor issue asked by friends, family or readers is to restart the phone. If he’s acting funny, try rebooting. However, in the unlikely event that it is completely frozen, you cannot remove the battery and you will have to resort to what is known as a hard reset.
The Moto X Pure Edition has a powerful 6-core processor and runs almost stock Android 5.1 Lollipop (soon to be Android 6.0 Marshmallow) so most owners won’t face any performance issues. If so, here’s how to quickly reboot a non-working Moto X Pure Edition.
Instructions
Typically, if the Moto X is acting funny, long press the power button and turn it off, then back on. However, if nothing is working, a quick hard reset will get everything back to normal and not delete anything. It saves you from disappointment.
All Moto X Pure Edition owners need to do is approx.
If the Moto X Pure Edition is frozen or unresponsive, a “hard reset” will be initiated after pressing and holding power and volume simultaneously for 7-10 seconds. This is not a factory reset and as we said it does not delete any data, it just restarts the phone.
Owners will feel a short vibration, loading screen, and in a few seconds, your Moto X will reboot completely and be fully functional as always.
If you continue to have problems after this, it could be an app that is causing the issues. Try uninstalling recently installed apps or do a factory data reset which will wipe everything and leave it blank out of the box. This can be done by going to Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > PHONE RESET.
But the above step is a last resort and in almost every case pressing the two buttons we mentioned above will reboot it and have everything up and running in less than a minute. Give it a try and leave a comment below for any other questions.
