Why Does A Double Hard Reset Help With IPhone Issues,

My iPhone 4, upon upgrading to iOS 5, isn’t slower. However it has greatly reduced battery life and gets physically warm for seemingly no reason. What do these two things have in common (besides being upgraded to a firmware designed for the next generation of hardware), Both phones can be temporarily healed of their maladies by being Double Hard Reset.

To perform a Hard Reset, press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons on your iPhone simultaneously for 5 to 10 seconds. After a few seconds the Slide to Power Off notice will appear, ignore this and keep holding down both buttons. In another few seconds the device should abruptly turn off. They go on to say that the device will reboot itself after you've done this, but both of my devices stay off.

To complete the “Double Hard Reset,” you need to power on the phone after you’ve done this, then do it again before the phone gets to your lock screen. I have personally experienced this numerous times. Why does this help, What does doing a Double Hard Reset do to the phones,

Fear not, because a hard reset won’t break anything or cause any lost content or settings. It also works even when the iPhone X has a black screen or unresponsive buttons. Here’s how to do it. It’s sleek, it’s gorgeous, and it’s arriving today. The question is, how do you hard reboot the iPhone X,

This process, for the iPhone X as well as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, relies upon speed. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button first. Next, quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Again, you might need to be faster than you’re used to when it comes to pressing and releasing the volume buttons. Just a quick tap is all it takes. If you time it right, however, you’ll get that lovely Apple logo and your iPhone will return to the world of responding to your taps and commands. If you haven’t updated to the iPhone 8 or iPhone X yet, but have the previous generation, here’s what you need to do. Press and hold both the Side and Volume Down buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

The procedure is still different for older iPhones, as well as all iPad and iPod touch devices. You press and hold both the Home and Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Me too. I wish Apple would decide on one method to perform a hard reset and stick with it.

If you want to alleviate confusion, just bookmark this article and when you refer to it, look for the name and vintage of your device. Of course, if you haven’t yet ordered your iPhone X but intend to, you should read what Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus has to say about whether to order from your carrier or direct from Apple.

We get this question several times a week, so it's not just you. And no, it doesn't mean you're crazy - even if your friends think so, and even if law enforcement won't take your case. People's computers and phones get hacked, every day. Why won't the police do anything about it - isn't it a crime, 500 in property (this changes from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and can include intellectual property), a believable threat to Homeland Security, or a clear threat to the safety of your person - like a death threat, for instance.

They may take on cyberstalking if it is part of violation of parole or a court order. Otherwise, they'll be needing you to furnish more evidence, such as that provided by a private investigator or computer forensic expert, before they'll take on a case. The police are just too busy with a limited budget.
