Sonim XP8 - Restart Device

Here's how to restart your Sonim XP8 if it crashes and resets, freezes or runs slowly.
Restarting your Sonim XP8® can help if you experience continuous resetting / rebooting, crashing, freezing, or if the touchscreen is unresponsive.
  • 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
     (left edge) until the 'options' menu appears then release.
    If the device is unresponsive, attempt the alternate method.
    power button
  2. Tap
    Restart
    .
    If your device won't power back on, partially charge the device then retry.

Alternate Method

  1. Press and hold the
    Power button
     (left edge) until the device power cycles (approximately 10 seconds) then release.
    power button
  2. Allow several seconds for the reboot process to complete.
    If your device won't power back on, partially charge the device then retry.
