Your Android or
iOS phone is just like a computer. Evidently, given the fact that it runs with
an operating system; only as mobile version one. Mobile phones run like a
computer now since you can pretty much do things with it that you normally do
with your desktop or laptop.
On a lighter
note, have you experienced while you are using your desktop, it crashes because
a lot of software applications are being used simultaneously? What do you do
then, force shutdown? And since smartphones
are like computers, these nifty handsets are not exempted from the wrath of
screen crashes. I bet you have already experienced that. If your phone crashes
more often than not, then might as well try these tips to unfreeze your phone’s
screen:
Unfreezing a
Stuck Android Phone
Force an app to stop:
If the app you
are using hung up, then you need to force-close the app. To do so, go to the
Settings, and then tap “Applications.” From there, toggle the “Managing
Applications” then swipe the “Running” tab. Once you’re there, look for the app
you intend to close, and then force-close the app by tapping “Stop.”
Restart your
phone:
If you just
can’t stop swiping your phone’s LCD screen protector rendering its screen frozen, then try restarting your
phone by holding down the sleep/power button for a few seconds till it asks for
confirmation if you want to turn your phone off. Have you turned it off? Now,
turn it on once more, and I bet it will run back to normal again.
Force your phone
to restart:
What’s the
difference with restarting your phone and a force-restart? Well, you don’t have
to wait for confirmation. It will restart itself immediately as you press the
right keys simultaneously: power button and volume-up button. If the volume-up
button doesn’t work, try the volume-down button. If it still doesn’t work, you
can refer to your phone’s manual.
Remove the
battery:
If the tips
above don’t do too much, then your last resort would likely be removing your
Android phone’s battery. Not that you’ll have to buy replacement parts already, but perhaps your phone already needs to
restart by removing your battery if the previous methods fail.
Well, that’s for
Android phones. But you must also consider that Android phones are different
from iPhones. So, here are the tricks to unfreeze the screen of your iPhone:
Unfreezing a
Stuck iPhone
Force-close an
app:
Like that of
Android phones, iPhones can also force an app to close. To do so, tap the Home
button twice to display the Multitask bar—the app switcher. From there, scroll
left or right to find the frozen app. When you found it, just toss it up to
close it.
Restart your
phone:
If it’s not just
the app that’s acting wonky but the entire system of your phone, then you
should restart your phone already. Just hold the sleep button until the “slide
to power off” appears, and slide your finger from left to right to turn off
your phone. To turn back your phone on, press the Sleep button once again and
wait for the logo to appear. Give it a minute, and then your phone will
function back to normal.
Force-restart
your phone:
Now, if your
phone has totally frozen in which it doesn’t respond with every tap and press
of buttons, then you may now need to restart your phone forcefully. Since
removing the battery is not applicable for iPhone, the best way to force-restart
it is to hold the Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously for a few
seconds until the Apple logo shows. Your phone then will automatically restart.
