(Pardon the story that follows, I had to show it just as it happened.)
Yesterday, I almost lost my mind when my phone couldn’t recognize my touch on the screen. All other functions; the volume high and low, power button and fingerprint was functioning properly.
My phone already had a crack a day after purchase (don’t ask me how and no, I’m not careless), I was scared it had packed up finally.
Questions like; when did it slip out of my hands and how much would a new screen cost? (although I no get money) Kept popping in my head.
I was in transit when this happened and couldn’t wait to get home to try all the many solutions I thought I would find online.
No matter how bothered I get about a situation, I always try to troubleshoot before reaching a final decision.
While trying to decipher what was wrong (although a part of me thought it was a screen problem), I stumbled upon a soothing eye-opener.
Which is; the Samsung A21s has some bugs and there were common technical problems with this phone. You guessed right! A stuck screen was a part of it.
As much as it wowed me, it was a soothing discovery.
Funny enough, I heard somewhere far within my head; ‘Now is a good time to grab some ice cream, don’t you think’.
Snap out of it, I said to myself. This is serious business.
Okay, back to business.
I was 70% certain it wasn’t an actual screen fault, the 30% was however there because the article I saw reads, ‘as long as your screen is not broken, it is a firmware problem that can be fixed’.
But my screen was broken! argh!
What I found online
Most of the articles online were about forced reset, and I wasn’t ready to lose all of my data (especially the pictures of my shugs)
In the course of my research, I mistakenly typed Samsung Galaxy S21 and lots of articles came up, I chose to watch a YouTube video that I can easily follow through. Anyways, I was a few seconds into the video when I realised it wasn’t the a21s that was being talked about.
I watched it to the end. (it was a force reset video, the technique I gained from it however changed my life)
So, without further ado,
How To Force Reboot or Restart a Galaxy Samsung A21s
I would have made a video but I’m not a tech guy with all ’em gadgets but why am I writing this? You will obviously need this knowledge when you find yourself in a similar situation.
Just follow through, it’s gonna be easy peasy. Here goes…
- To begin with,
You want to get your phone plugged into a power source before trying anything out. (I don’t know why, and I’ll leave the space for you to research and share with us all)
I connected it to my laptop, as seen above.
- Is your phone plugged in?
Now, hold the volume down and the power keys on your phone. It should go off after a few seconds.
- You’ll see the round icon with the battery life percentage (because it’s plugged into a power source).
- At this stage, release the keys. You have successfully turned off your phone
- Press the power button as you would and release the key immediately you see the Samsung display interface.
There you have it, you have successfully turned on your phone.
Note: This will not work for the hard reset of the Samsung Galaxy A21s. However, It is just a step difference; if you ever need help leave a comment below.
