Xperia SP hard reset problem

[ugurkaya]

Hi guys, I have got a problem with hard reset (volume up+power key combination). It does not work at all. I've waited pressing these buttons for about 1 minute and nothing happened. Also tried this when screen locked, when unlocked, when phone switched off. No change, no effect.

To soft reset an Xperia SP you have to remove the back cover of the phone. Then press the 'OFF' button with a tip of a pen (or something similar) for about 5 seconds.

The back side button to Hard reset isn't working either. The better solution is to remove the SIM Card and the touch screen will work (Incase touchscreen wasn't responding before) and then insert the screen and use Power off button & select the Power off option on the Display screen. Hope this helps.

Xperia SP comes with a non removable battery.So turning off in this condition is not possible by removing battery.The volume up+power button doesnt work in Xperia SP unlike other phones.The solution is given below.

• Remove the back cover of Xperia SP and look for a small yellow dot on mid bottom with “OFF” written below it. Check the image below.

• Now “Press & Hold Down the OFF Button, using a tip of pen or any other pointed object for around 10 seconds”. Phones vibrates and will be switched off automatically. Check image below.

P.S. Don’t use very sharp objects as it may damage the OFF Button.

• Now phone restarts.

After restarting we found that our Xperia SP got back to normal temperature and everything was fine.   We were able to charge our Xperia SP again, device was cool.

I also faced the same issue and got solved with the solution given above.Hope it will work for you also

So will this soft reset erase your data just like the factory reset?? And can do it if this phone facing with hang issue??

[Ashroft98]

zulhamizan,doing this hard reset will NOT erase any of your data.It just reboot your phone.Yes,it can be used to solved hang issues.Mainly,it was used to free memory(RAM) used from RAM-hungry apps.

so doing this often wii cause any problem to ths phone?? 

[Ashroft98]

No,it will not have any side effects even when it is done frequently.
