Is your Android phone freezing?  This is how you make it work again

Very occasionally it can happen that the screen of your phone freezes. Your Android smartphone will then no longer respond to touches. Fortunately, you can force it to reboot so that it starts working again. We explain how you can do that.

Phone stuck?

Just like humans, technology is not perfect. Very occasionally you can notice that your phone no longer does anything, and one particular image remains visible all the time. Don’t worry, because it doesn’t mean you have to buy a new one right away. We’ll explain how to force your phone to reboot.

  1. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds until the frozen image disappears. If that doesn’t work, press and hold the lower volume button and the power button together
  2. Once the image disappears, you may feel a short vibration indicating that your phone is rebooting.
  3. Your phone’s manufacturer logo will appear on the screen, and you can use it again once it boots up

What is the cause?

A phone screen that freezes usually indicates a software bug, but the exact cause can vary widely. Just to be sure, check that your phone has received its latest system and app updates. You can check that in the settings of Android and in the Google Play Store.
