Hi Nosa,
I don’t have this type of phone, but I know others that do. You provided great information of how to reset this phone.
I myself have an IPhone and still can’t figure out all those things on it. I am not a technical type of person, so it is difficult for me. Good thing my kids came to visit and showed me how.
Now this information is valuable for people who have this phone and I will pass it on.
Nice to meet you,
-Donna

Thanks for the awesome share buddy, I personally do not need shut down my device to reset in most cases.
All I do is tab the power button to put the device to sleep/lock mode, then tab again to restore the responsiveness.
Do have a great day bro.
