These procedures are the most commonly used methods to reboot your Galaxy S22 provided that everything in your device is still working properly.

However, if for some reason your phone isn’t working properly or is stuck at a certain screen, then use the next procedure.

Force Restart Galaxy S22

Regardless of whether your phone is stuck on a black screen or froze while you’re using an app, then your only option will be to do the Forced Restart.

Unlike the normal reboot, this procedure will simulate battery pull which virtually disconnects it from its battery. This is the most effective solution in fixing black screen of death issues. Here’s how it’s done:

Step 1: Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power key for 8 seconds. Doing so will trigger your Galaxy S22 to shut down and power back up.

Step 2: When the Samsung logo shows, release both keys and allow your device to continue the boot process.

It will take a little longer for your phone to boot up when using this procedure but don’t worry, it will fix the problem and make your device work perfectly again.

Auto Restart At Set Times

Did you know that you can actually make your Galaxy S22 restart automatically by itself? All you need to do is set the day and time when you want it to restart. However, there are conditions that should be met before you can make it to work, and they are as follows:

  • The screen is off.
  • The phone isn’t being used.
  • The battery is above 30%.
  • SIM card lock is off.

It might seem like it but it’s actually not one of the Advanced features and all it does is reboot your phone and nothing else. You also don’t need to press the Side key for it. Here’s how you set it:

Step 1: Pull up the App drawer and then tap Settings.
