Resetting Your Phone; Performing A Hard Reset; Performing A Soft Reset - Samsung SGH-i718 Series User Manual

The basics

Resetting your phone

You can perform a soft reset or a hard reset – a
soft reset restarts your phone and a hard reset
switches the battery off. During a soft reset,
some data may be lost in programmes that are
open. However, cutting power (a hard reset)
wipes out new programmes you have added,
i.e., the phone will only have the software that
was present when you bought it.
You can return the phone to its factory settings
and remove all of the programmes and data you
have added by resetting the system.

Performing a soft reset

If your phone responds slowly, stops
responding, or freezes, try a soft reset. A soft
reset causes the phone to restart and re-adjust
memory allocation. Unsaved data in open
windows may be lost.
