Hard Reset iPhone, Forced Reset or Forced Reboot
February 28, 2010 – 9:20 amIf your iPhone is not functioning as fast as it used to be and restarting it is doing no good, try Hard Reset – It might improve your iPhone’s performance. The term “Hard Reset” is a bit dicey. Hard Reset in ‘windows mobile’ terminology would mean that applications have gone bad and hard reset would restore the device to factory settings. But in iPhone’s terminology, it just means “Forced Reset” or a “Forced Reboot”.
Beware that if you hard reset a iPhone then it might go back to factory settings. Be sure to unlock the iphone properly.
