Re: Other way to reset phone
If we wipe clean and restore, is there any choice then as to what we restore, or is it just a choice of backup from which to restore? I really want to restore my phone but put apps on in an order, specifically to get one to work which won't and it does using the 4S for others. If anyone has ideas about this then please let me know. Thanks. -- Carol P - Original Message - From: "Raul A.

Resetting your phone is done from the Settings App. This can involve setting the icons to alphabetical order, or it can involve totally wiping your phone as if it was new. This is also called Restoring. Don't you love all these terms? Now if your phone is acting strange, or not responding, then rebooting might be in order. Some people will say there is a soft and a hard reboot. I really don't know which is which, but pressing the sleep button for 5 or 6 times quickly seems to reboot it rather quickly. So maybe this is a soft reboot? If you do what you are asking about, where you press sleep and home at the same time for about 10 to 15 seconds, it reboots and takes a bit longer to come up.

Re: Other way to reset phone
Hello James. I agree with your comments below. It would seem to me that Apple would not have made a reset/reboot feature so easily doable. Pressing the sleep/power button over and over seems too easy. The reason I don't feel that a reset/reboot should be easy is because this way it avoids you doing it by accident. Pressing the sleep/power and the home button for 10 seconds or more, for example, takes some effort, and you can't do it by accident. So if the phone locks up, or acts strangely, this is what I use. Cheers. -- Raul A.

Re: Other way to reset phone
Debbie, it's a hard reset, where as if you hit the power button five or six times, that's considered a soft reset. A hard reset won't damage any of your files, I've used it sometimes when I just cannot get Siri to work. It essentially shuts down and restarts your iPhone, without actually turning it off and having to hit the power button to turn it back on.
