This works on Galaxy S10, S10+ and Galaxy S10e. These are stylish phones with a premium waterproof design, but that means the back is not removable. You cannot remove the battery if your phone is working. Instead, use the button press method we’ve detailed below to fix your issue.
How to Reboot/Reset Frozen Galaxy S10
Did you know that a quick reboot will fix almost any minor Galaxy S10 problem? A quick and easy trick that everyone should know. Here are the instructions. As a reminder, it’s on your phone.
- + button for approx. until the device turns off and then on again.
- Buttons when your phone vibrates and the Samsung logo appears.
- Wait up to 30 seconds for the reboot to complete.
Again, although any open applications or browser windows will be closed, no data is lost or deleted during this process. If your phone has been dropped really hard or froze excessively, can restore into what is known as maintenance mode or safe mode. Follow the onscreen instructions to “reboot” with the volume keys, then press the power button to select reboot. Be careful in this safe mode because if you choose the wrong line you can factory data reset your phone and wipe everything.
This applies to the Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, Galaxy S10e and most Samsung phones released in the last few years. A quick forced restart also fixes minor issues you usually deal with. Before you go, consider some official Galaxy S10 accessories like the wireless charging pad.
