Motorola Droid: Soft Reset Using Keys

Posted by Mitch on Nov 09, 2009 under Android Tips | 8 Comments

If you want to perform a quick soft reset on your Motorola Droid using the keyboard, you can. Simply press CTRL + ALT + Delete at the same time just like with Windows. The CTRL key is the one with an arrow pointing at a line. Once you press these keys, the phone will reboot.

      Doesn’t seem to work. Tried hard reset as well. Screen seems illuminated, keyboard lights up, but not display other than a black (yet lit) screen. Any ideas?

      Left “Shift/Ctrl” key
      Left ALT key
      Right Del key

      Work great, last long time.
