How to restart a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 if it does not respond

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gold Cover

On occasion it may happen that a Samsung Galaxy Notes 5 does not work properly and is "frozen". This means that the terminal has stopped responding and, therefore, it is not possible to do anything with it, not even to restart it regularly. We tell you what you have to do to bring it back to life.

This with previous versions of the phablet for the high-end of the Korean company had a drastic, but simple solution: remove the battery. But as in the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is not accessible to the user, this is not possible because other processes have to be used to make the SoC able to manage the operating system again (which, generally, is what stops happening when the device does not respond).

What has to be done

The thing is, Samsung has been aware of this, and has included a forced hardware reset option for its Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (and also him Samsung Galaxy S6 in all its variants). And, the truth is that not particularly complex the process, although it should be clear that some information may be lost if this is done, such as the specific progress in a game (we are not referring to stored information, such as images).

And what is there to do? Well, use a combination of the hardware buttons that exist in any of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Specifically this: power + volume up + volume down, and this for seven seconds you will realize its effectiveness because the device will turn off. After a moment, it will restart automatically. It goes without saying that this is not exactly something that suits the RAM and processor especially well, but the truth is that sometimes it is absolutely necessary to do this.
