Tutorial: How To Hard Reset ACER Iconia Smart S300

Like any other devices or gadgets especially for smartphones like ACER Iconia Smart S300, there will be a time where you will need to reset your device back into its original state or factory default settings.  The most common reason for doing this is because your device is no longer functional or keeps on freezing due to an application that you have recently installed.  Sometimes, we forget or maybe neglect to properly take care of our phone’s memory by dumping so much information as if the device we have can store data infinitely.

2. When the display prompts the widget to turn it off, tap “Power off”;
3. Then tap OK;

5. Then press and hold the power button until your Iconia Smart S300 vibrates;
