On the Samsung Galaxy S5, it may happen that due to a malfunction of an app the display freezes. If the so-called screen "Freeze" occurred, no more actions can be made via the touch screen of your smartphone.

We show you how to perform a soft reset on the Samsung Galaxy S5:
Press and hold for about 10 seconds the power on/ off button. The smartphone will now turn off and then gets restarted. Subsequently, all functions should work again as usual.
You know now how to perform on the Samsung Galaxy S5 a soft reset when no more touch inputs can made on the device.
