• Remove the Battery

If you have a removable battery in your device (not all do), remove it to shut everything down. Then, reattach
it and power on your phone or tablet. It’s a great backup if you’ve exhausted all other options

WARNING: Don’t touch the battery or any components on the device with your fingers. Instead, use
a piece of plastic, such as a guitar pick, to pop the battery out. Some devices include a battery lock
or switch that you must press to pop it out.

• Try Closing Apps Instead
You don’t always need to reboot to solve problems. If your device is running slowly, closing a few apps might
speed it up. When you leave an app, Android keeps it available so that you can quickly switch back to it. In the
meantime, it continues to consume memory.
Swipe up, or tap the square at the bottom right of your device, to show recently used apps. Then, swipe up on
an app to close it. On

some devices, you can swipe all the way to the left while viewing the open apps to find a Clear all button which
quickly closes down all the apps
• Close Recently Used Apps
Some Android devices have a Recently Used Apps button in the lower-left corner of the device. To close apps
in this view, tap the X on each app or tap Close All.
