Hard Reset (hardware reset to factory settings) is needed in cases where, for example, you have forgotten the password to your Meizu smartphone, or you are selling your old phone and want to first erase all your data from the device’s memory. In this manual, we offer two ways to make a Hard Reset on Meizu phones.
Method one: through the settings menu
This method is suitable for all Meizu brand smartphones (M3 Note, M5 Note, MX6 and others) that are based on the latest version of Flyme OS 6. In order to hard reset your phone, do the following:
- go to settings menu
- scroll down to "Personal" and click on "Storage and Backup"
- in this menu, select Factory Reset (reset to factory settings)
- then tick the first item "Reset phone to factory default"
- and click "Start Reset"
Now your device will be completely cleaned. The advantages of this method include simplicity and speed, because resetting through the settings is really easy and fast. By cons - the inability to enter the settings if you forgot your password, PIN or pattern. Then the second method comes to the rescue.
Method two: through recovery
This method is also quite simple, for this you do not need to know the password to the phone. To reset Meziu to factory settings, follow our instructions:
- hold the lock key to completely turn off the smartphone
- after the phone turns off, hold down the lock key and the volume up at the same time
- in the recovery menu that opens, select "Clear data"
- and press the right key "Start"
This is all, as you can see, everything is quite simple. Attention, after a complete reset of the settings, it will no longer be possible to return deleted files from the smartphone. So be careful and save all important information to external media or to the cloud before resetting.
What should I do if my phone asks for a password before resetting?
There is another case, for example, you forgot the Meizu password and it is requested before resetting. To recover the PIN code, you need to do the following:
- enter 15 times any password at random
- the phone will show a menu in which it will prompt you to enter the password from the Flyme account
- log into your Flyme account and reset your password through it
Meizu m3 note frozen, heats up and you do not know what to do with it? In this article, you will learn how to force restart a frozen Meise M3 note and similar devices on Android.
There can be many reasons for Android freezing. Lack of RAM for several applications and games open at the same time. Sometimes one powerful app or demanding game is all it takes to get your smart phone just freezes. Even those androids hang which, in principle, should not hang, since you paid a tidy sum for it. Any device needs to be rebooted and it is better to reboot it regularly until it freezes due to errors accumulated during the long operation of the android. Sometimes Meizu may freeze when you put it on charge, when watching videos, opening web pages, and sometimes the screen just turns white. It happens that the phone worked fine in the evening, and when you woke up, it simply does not turn on. It's good if the battery is removable, but what if the battery is built-in and there is no way to pull it out of the phone? It is possible to simply reboot the android, otherwise you would have to carry it in for repairs and spend a lot of money.
Below you will find information on how to restart a frozen meiza and similar androids.
Perhaps this method is also suitable for other Android smartphones, a big request is to leave feedback and indicate the model of the device to which this reboot option came or did not fit.
let's get a look what to do if meizu m3 note freezes, gets very hot and does not react to anything.
First way. To reboot a hung Meizu m3 note, you need to press and hold the "on / lock" button of the android for about 20 seconds. You need to keep holding this button until your smartphone or tablet reboots.
The device may restart in less than 20 seconds, or you may have to hold down the power button a little longer.
If it doesn't help, then try the second method below.
The second way. If the first method did not help to get the android out of freezing, then try holding down the "on / off" button and the "volume" button at the same time, hold both buttons until your smartphone or tablet reboots.
We kindly ask you to leave feedback and indicate the model of the device to which one of the reboot methods came up or did not fit.
- I hope you were able do a reboot on a hung Meizu and get the phone out of a freeze.
- We will be glad if you add reviews, additions to the article or useful tips.

We love Meizu mx4 smartphones and other mobile gadgets from this manufacturer, in particular, for the Flyme operating system and its ability to set the maximum number of personal settings. It is always nice to make sure that the gadget works exactly in accordance with our wishes. But if you get carried away with this business, it is quite possible to make some kind of mistake, and then the device may malfunction.
How to solve such a problem? The way out will be a return to the factory settings. It is also called Hard Reset. If you think that restoring a phone in this way is a complicated procedure, then you are mistaken. Resetting to factory settings is quite realistic for each user of the gadget, even at home.
Today we will tell you how to reset settings on Meizu M3s, Meizu M5 Note, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu M3s mini and other Meizu mobile devices.
Method number 1. Through the settings menu
The easiest way to reset the settings is through the menu on the phone. For this you need:
- Enter the menu.
- Scroll through the list of items to the "Personal" option.
- Find "Storage and backup" and click on this option.
- Select "Factory Reset".
- Check the box next to "Reset phone to factory default".
- Start a hard reset of all user-defined settings.
The procedure takes only a couple of minutes, and as a result, all data on the Note or another Meizu phone will be completely reset.
But remember that you can restore the system in this way only if you remember the password from the phone. Otherwise, the menu simply does not get. But what if you forgot this information? Then the second method will come to the rescue.
Method number 2. Through the recovery
You can also hard reset Meizu m3s through recovery. This method is a little more complicated, but it is indispensable if you forgot your phone password. It is done like this:
- Hold down the lock key to completely turn off the phone.
- As soon as the screen goes blank, press the volume up button and the lock button at the same time.
- We see the recovery menu, in which we are interested in the “Clear data” item.
- Click on "Start" and thereby reset all the data.
When performing these steps, be extremely careful and careful, because after you have reset all the settings, you will not be able to return them. So it is recommended to periodically save the data stored on the phone to some other medium so that they do not disappear if you need to suddenly clear the settings. Also, modern phones have a convenient option to save files on the cloud on the Internet, which we strongly recommend using.
Now that you have learned how to reset settings on Meise, you can set up your phone as you wish without fear of causing irreparable harm to it. If the device requires you to enter a password before starting the reset, and you forgot it, you can enter any combination 15 times, after which you will be transferred to your Flyme account. It remains to enter your password from it, log in to the system, reset the password of the gadget and continue Hard Reset.
Despite modern technology and high quality, many smartphones slow down in work. If such a nuisance has happened to you and you do not know how to restart your Meizu phone if it freezes, this article is for you. We will analyze several ways that will help solve the problem and speed up the operation of the device running the Android operating system.
Why an Android smartphone can freeze
There can be many reasons for freezing, but most often it happens due to a large number of open applications, accumulated garbage, clogged cache. Sometimes system errors are to blame.
Custom firmware can lead to slow smartphone performance and system errors. Therefore, it is undesirable to change the factory firmware.
It is recommended to download applications only from trusted sources, such as . If you download APK files from third-party sources (especially if it's a paid program), it's more likely that they contain a virus. As you know, viruses lead the device to freeze, slow operation, and sometimes to serious damage.
An error in time can cause the smartphone to work incorrectly. The device will hang, and it may even require a flashing.
How to reboot a frozen Meiza with a soft reboot
If Meizu M6 or any other model freezes, you need to reboot. This is the only option that will help restore the stable operation of the device. If the smartphone responds to touch, perform a soft reset in the usual way. It is important to remember that the usual way allows you to close all processes and save information without losing it. We perform the following actions:
- Press and hold the power button.
- A window will appear with several options.
- Everything, the smartphone successfully reboots.
After the actions taken, the Meizu phone on the Android operating system should work stably and without glitches.
How to Force Restart Meizu Phone (Hard Reboot)
When the smartphone does not respond to touch and does not show signs of life, only a forced reboot will help. implies an instant stop of all processes, which will lead to the loss of unsaved data. The situation can occur unexpectedly and at any time, so it is better to save all personal data in advance in the cloud storage. If you have a memory card, all the necessary information can be sent to it. A forced reboot only deletes data from the phone's memory cache. So, what to do if the Meizu smartphone is frozen.
- Necessary hold down the "Power" button for about 30 seconds.
- A logo should appear on the screen, after which the smartphone will reboot.
The forced method will allow you to restart a frozen Meizu phone and any other model. But this method should not be abused.
On hard reboot the signal is instantly sent to the processor, so the device reboots instantly, and the data, not having time to be automatically saved, is deleted.
Switch off and on again the phone is not a way out of the situation with repeated freezes. In order for the device to function normally, it is necessary to find and eliminate the cause. Remember, maybe you installed programs or games. Perhaps they are slowing down the smartphone. You should uninstall applications and check the device's performance. If it does not help, then the virus has already penetrated the system. In this case, you need to download the best antivirus program and scan the entire system. If suspicious malicious files are found, delete them immediately.
ToMeizuM5S worked quickly and did not freeze, try updating the system or installing a new version.
From errors and slow work will also help. Before using this method, save all your information, as it will be completely deleted from the device. The smartphone will be in the form in which it was sold in the store. You will have to re-enter all account information and install applications.
Sudden shutdowns, for example, when the battery is completely discharged, adversely affect the smartphone. This cannot be allowed, and the device needs to be 15-30%.
Your smartphone Meizu m5 note frozen Does not respond to any actions and the phone is still very hot? In this article, we will see what to do if Meizu and similar Android devices freeze. If your smartphone has a removable battery, then to wake the device from freezing, simply remove the battery and reinsert and turn on the phone. For those with a non-removable battery, don't rush to take it apart or get nervous about breaking it, there are a few other easy ways to force reboot a frozen Android device. Also, many immediately carry it to hand it over under warranty or give it for repair for money, take your time and first try to solve the freezing problem on your own using the methods below.
Despite the fact that all modern smartphones and tablets, including Meizu, are equipped with powerful technical characteristics and large RAM and built-in memory, we see how they begin to freeze more and more often. It's not just Meizu that freezes, but other manufacturers' devices as well, so you're not alone in experiencing these issues. The reasons for an android freezing on each smartphone or tablet may be different and not always this is a lack of processor power and RAM. On many frozen smartphones, the case around the battery starts to get very hot, and this really starts to excite users. We deduce Meiza or another android from freezing in one of the following ways.
1) To force a reboot, you need to press and hold the "on / lock" button for about 20 seconds, after which the smartphone or tablet will reboot.
If the reboot did not work and the phone continues to hang, then you can try holding the power button not for 20 seconds, but longer. It may also take several attempts.
2) If the above method did not help, then try pressing and holding the "on / off" button and the "volume" button at the same time, hold both buttons until your smartphone or tablet reboots, usually about 20 seconds, and maybe more. You can try pressing the volume button in different ways. For example (on/off button and volume up button) or (on/off button and volume down button) or (on/off button and volume on both sides button). It may also take several attempts or a longer time to keep the buttons pressed.
Do not forget to leave a review and indicate the model of your device to which the information came up or not and which of the methods helped to restart.
- I hope you were able to get the frozen Meiza or other smartphone out of the freeze.
- We will be glad if you add a review, addition to the article or useful tips.
- Thank you for your responsiveness, mutual assistance and useful advice!
