Samsung Galaxy S10 - Restart Device

Here's how to restart your Galaxy S10e / S10 / S10+ if it crashes and resets, freezes or runs slowly.
  • Since this device has a non-removable battery, the restart (soft reset) process can be used to simulate a 'battery pull' when the device is unresponsive, frozen or doesn't power on.
  • In rare cases, a restart could affect data (e.g., backup in progress, cached data, etc.).

Preferred Method

  1. Press and hold the
    Power button
     (right edge) until the 'Power off' prompt appears then release.
    If the device is unresponsive, attempt the alternate method.
    Power button
  2. Tap
    Restart
    .
  3. To confirm, tap
    Restart
    .
    If your device won't power back on, partially charge the device then retry.

Alternate Method

  1. Simultaneously press and hold the
    Volume Down button
     (left edge) and the
    Power button
     (right edge)until the device powers off and back on (approx. 10 - 15 seconds).
    Power and Volume down buttons
  2. Release the buttons when the device vibrates and the Samsung logo appears.
  3. Allow several seconds for the reboot process to complete.
    If your device won't power back on, partially charge the device then retry.
