Resetting the device

Occasionally you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should only be performed if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost.

LG GM730 | User Guide

To perform a soft reset

Find the Soft reset key. This is the small hole inside the charger socket cover on the right hand side of your device (shown enclosed by circles in the picture below). Use the stylus to press the reset key and hold it for a while. Your device may shut down. Press the POWER button, the device restarts and displays the Home Screen.

Soft reset key

To perform a hard reset

A Hard Reset should only be performed after all other trouble shooting options have been exhausted. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost.
