Just a few years ago, almost all Android smartphones were equipped with collapsible cases. If system failures occurred, device owners could perform a quick reboot by removing the battery for a couple of seconds. Today, it is impossible to solve problems so radically - the design of gadgets does not allow access to the battery. Figuring out how to reboot your Lenovo Vibe C phone if it’s frozen can be done without much difficulty – the developers of the popular operating system have provided several ways.
If the device stops responding to usual actions, then the reason probably lies in software glitches. Without the use of equipment available to service center technicians, it is impossible to find out what caused the freeze. However, the underlying factors are most often:
- errors in the operation of the graphical shell or when updating the OS;
- excessive filling of the device’s internal memory;
- failures when updating programs or firmware;
- sudden changes in ambient temperature;
- mechanical damage.
In many situations, rebooting helps the smartphone come to its senses. If the freezes are permanent, then you will have to resort to more serious measures.
Option #3. Flashing
The third method is the most radical, but it is definitely worth using if the phone suddenly turns off, does not turn on, or freezes. We act according to simple logic - if the system cannot be restored, then it should be replaced. In the case of computers and laptops, we usually reinstall the operating system, and for phones, changing the firmware works.
First, download the firmware to your computer, and then transfer it to the memory card installed in the phone. The firmware is downloaded as an archive, and there is no need to extract files from it. We throw it on the map exactly in this form.
Now we go to Recovery in exactly the same way as in the previous case, that is, by holding down the power and volume buttons. If there are installation files on the memory card, the system will recognize them and offer you the following option: install zip from sdcard. This is exactly what we need if the phone turns off and we need to change the firmware. We confirm the actions by starting to download the file.
Typically flashing takes a few minutes. Don't be alarmed if your phone turns off during this process - this is quite normal. It can reboot, and repeatedly. And this is not a cause for concern.
After several reboots, the system will turn on, and, most likely, you will no longer see freezes and slowdowns. This means that the problem is a thing of the past, and now you know how to turn on a phone that has started to slow down or does not turn on.
Option #2. Hard Reset
If a simple reboot does not help, and Lenovo a319 still does not turn on or does not load beyond the splash screen, you need to resort to more radical measures. The best option is to reset all settings, or, in other words, Hard Reset the phone. This is quite simple to do - you just need to go into Recovery mode.
To make it easier for you to complete this procedure, we offer a simple algorithm:
If all systems start normally and the phone functions the same as it did before the problems arose, then congratulations - you have found a relatively simple and painless way to resolve the issue. If the phone still does not turn on, or the download does not go beyond the screen saver, you can only resort to the third method.
What to do if the tablet freezes and does not turn off
Sometimes a situation may arise when the tablet freezes and does not turn off. The device does not respond to anything and there is nothing left to do but forcefully turn off the tablet.
Several ways to turn off the gadget if it is frozen:
- Remove the battery. This option is only suitable for devices with a removable battery, but it will work in any situation, since without energy the device will have nothing to “hang on”. Insert the battery back and turn on the gadget.
- Hold down the dedicated button. By holding down the Reset key, you can reboot the device. Get your needle or paperclip ready!
- Perform an emergency shutdown by holding down the power button and the volume up key. Instead of a volume up key, there may be either a volume down key or a Home button. The buttons are the same as when calling the recovery menu, but the difference is that in this case the device is turned on.
- Wait until the battery is completely discharged. The gadget will not be able to work indefinitely, because even in order to display a frozen state, the equipment wastes charge. Sooner or later it will end!
However, I recommend just waiting and giving the device a chance to sag.
Adb Run Command Line
Another way to reboot an Android smartphone is to call the command line in the already well-known Adb Run program:
- In the main window, use the command S (Go to ADB Shell).
- Enter reboot in the line that appears and confirm the action by pressing the Enter key.
That's all - the owner of the phone was able to reboot Android easily and without wasting time; This method is especially effective if the device freezes and refuses to restart in normal mode.
Reboot program
Another excellent, completely free application that allows you to restart the Android OS with one click on the screen, without using a physical button. The user will need:
- Download (link - play.google.com), install and run the application.
- Select the "Reboot" option.
- And, having confirmed the decision, wait until the smartphone turns off and turns on again.
Important: in the “Settings” section, the owner of the device can add additional options to the main menu of the program - from turning off to rebooting into safe mode.

Restart program
Another way to restart a smartphone running Android OS is using the free Reboot program, available both in the Google Play Market (link - play.google.com) and on third-party resources. After downloading and installing it, the owner must:
- By default, the reboot will begin after five seconds. If there is not enough time, you should click on the “Cancel” button.
- And by entering the “Settings” of the application.
- Set another convenient countdown time.
- Now you just need to wait until the phone or tablet reboots - and, if necessary, cancel the process by using the “Cancel” button again.
Important: for all the mobile applications listed below, it is important that the smartphone has the ability to access the root folder, that is, root rights. Otherwise, the program will either not start at all, or will require the appropriate permissions, and the user will not be able to restart Android until they are granted.
Method 3: Hold two buttons
Most modern devices come with a non-removable battery, which does not allow you to turn off the gadget simply by removing the battery. Then the method of holding two keys comes to the rescue. It is very simple and works on all popular phones.
The principle of its operation is based on simultaneously pressing the volume and power buttons . Once done, the device should turn off and on automatically. Of course, this method has one huge drawback - if the necessary keys break, you will not be able to restart the gadget.
Restart in Adb Run
A convenient, free program for a personal computer allows you to restart a smartphone based on the Android OS using a few simple commands entered via the keyboard. The user will need:
- Go to “Settings” of your phone or tablet.
- In the “Software Information” subsection.
- Tap the “Build Number” heading several times until a message appears indicating that “For Developers” mode has been activated.
- Returning to “Settings”, go to the section of the same name.
- Start the mode by moving the top slider to the “On” position.
- Check the “USB Debugging” checkbox and, if necessary, grant the appropriate permissions.
- Download (link - clouds.androidp1.ru), install and run the Adb Run program, then connect your phone or tablet to the computer using a USB cable, preferably one that comes with the device. Wait for the smartphone to authorize and go to the Reboot Android section by entering the number 2 in the dialog line and pressing Enter.
- In the window that opens, select the Reboot option by entering and applying the command “1”.
If all manipulations are performed correctly, Android will automatically begin to reboot. During the process, the user can disconnect the device from the computer - and congratulate themselves for successfully restarting the phone.
How to Force Restart Lenovo Phone (Hard Reboot)
When the smartphone does not respond to touches and shows no signs of life, only a forced reboot will help. A hard reboot involves stopping all processes immediately, resulting in the loss of unsaved data. The situation can happen unexpectedly and at any time, so it is better to save all personal data in cloud storage in advance. If you have a memory card, all the necessary information can be sent to it.
A forced reboot only deletes data from the phone's memory cache. So, what to do if your Lenovo smartphone is frozen.
- You need to hold down the "Power" button for about 30 seconds .
- A logo should appear on the screen, after which the smartphone will reboot.
The forced method will allow you to reboot a frozen Lenovo phone and any other model. But this method should not be abused.
During a hard reboot, the signal is instantly sent to the processor, so the device reboots instantly, and the data is deleted without being automatically saved.
Tips for further use
Turning the phone off and on again is not a solution to the situation when it freezes again. In order for the device to function normally, it is necessary to detect and eliminate the cause. Remember, you may have installed programs or games. Perhaps they are the ones that slow down the operation of the smartphone. You should remove applications and check the functionality of the device.
If it doesn’t help, then the virus has already entered the system. In this case, you need to download the best antivirus program and scan the entire system. If you find suspicious malicious files, delete them immediately.
To make Lenovo K5 work quickly and not freeze, try updating the system or installing a new version.
Returning your smartphone to factory settings will also help prevent errors and slow operation. Before using this method, save all your information, as it will be completely deleted from the device. The smartphone will be in the same form as it was sold in the store. You will have to re-enter all account information and install applications.
Sudden shutdowns, for example, when the battery is completely discharged, have an adverse effect on the smartphone. This cannot be allowed, and you need to charge the device at 15-30%.
Once a week it is necessary to do a soft reboot for prevention. This will stop all processes and clear RAM.
Method 5: Pull out the battery
The first thing that comes to mind when an Android phone freezes is to simply take out the battery. This method also works. If your phone has a built-in battery, you can try to carefully remove the cover and disconnect the cable from the battery. It is recommended to do such manipulations only for those users who are not afraid of breaking the device .
Now return the power source to its original place and turn on the phone. In most cases, the gadget will return to normal operation.
The phone keeps freezing - update the android software
If the problem is not caused by the application, look for a software update, it may appear.
To do this, go to “Settings”. Click About Device > and go to Software Update. Select check now and install if available.
The developers know very well how their firmware works, and if they receive a lot of notifications about freezes and crashes, they release fixes.
However, the opposite happens: the new version starts to freeze, then you should return to the old one. This can be done through a reset.
