If you are a user of any of the phone models HTC and began to notice that from time to time your HTC phone freezes, does not respond to your actions, slows down, you need to stop panicking and the first thing you should do is simply try to reboot the device. Remember that in all problems the best initial solution is to reboot.
No response to the power button
It may happen that the smartphone will not respond to the power button after a reboot. In this case, you need to remove the battery and insert it back after a while. Usually such a simple operation is effective.
The problem is not being solved
After rebooting, check if this helps and the problem goes away. If the problem persists, you will most likely have to reset your smartphone.
Hardware fee
The procedure you need is often called a hard reset and it erases all user files and data from the phone's memory card. Therefore, if you have anything important on it, it is better to create a “backup”.
Remember that after a master reset, all your applications, data and user settings will be deleted, so think carefully about this operation.
If you still decide to perform a hard reset, you need to press the button on the phone’s home screen Menu, then select Settings.
Scroll down the screen a little and you will find a menu Confidentiality, which contains the graph Factory reset.
It is in this column that you can safely click on Reset your phone, then click Erase everything.
If the problem is still not resolved
If you are unable to turn on the phone, or even after a hard reset, problems with the device remain; in such cases, it is recommended to contact a specialized service center, where professional staff will deal with the problem.
I want to tell you some things that may be useful to you when using the device in the operating room Android system 4.0 and specifically on . I will write tips on how to take a screenshot of the screen, how to update Android on HTC One V and a few more useful tips.
It’s just that I’ve often come across such questions on forums, and they answer them endlessly all the time, although there is a FAQ for each device, I’m now entering the forum http://4pda.ru/forum. So, I’ll collect here a few questions, and of course the answers to them.
HTC smartphone It seems to me that One V has become quite popular, even judging by the number of reviews on Rozetka. So let's look at the most frequently asked questions about this device, which I've had for three months now and am very happy with.How to take a screenshot in Android 4.0?
I don’t know for sure, but it seems to me that this method works on all Android devices. Everything is done very simply, hold down the power/lock button of the device and press the home key. The screenshot will be saved immediately, for example on One V it is saved in the “All pictures” folder.
I'm still waiting for the update to Android 4.1 :) I don't know how things are going with this now, I'll have to look for information, but that's not what I'm talking about right now. There have already been several updates on the One V, and the phone itself checks for updates, but you can check for yourself whether there is anything new. To do this, go to the settings, select the most last point“About phone” and click “Check now”. If there are no updates, the phone will tell you about it, and if there is, it will offer to update the software.
What kind of glass does the HTC One V Gorilla glass have or not?
This question was very relevant as soon as the device appeared on the market. But even now I think many people are interested in what kind of glass protects the screen on our phone. I may upset you now, but this device does not have Gorilla glass. The glass is tempered and very powerful, but not from a well-known company; when it fell, there was not a trace on the screen. I think I wrote about this.
Is it possible to remove HTC SENSE from HTC One V?
No friends, unfortunately not. You can only replace it with another launcher, but you cannot remove it and leave the standard Android 4.0 interface. Yes, it seems to me that there is no need, for example, I really like the interface from HTC and I don’t see any reason to demolish it. Many people buy devices from HTC because they have the SENSE interface.
Well, I think that’s enough questions/answers for today, while I was writing this post, the idea came up to make more articles with a similar FAQ on this phone. Let it be “Answers to questions about HTC One V No. 1.”
I'll tell you right away what I have SONY Xperia SP on Android 4.3, but the recipe for brakes can help owners of other phones.
A little about the brakes
I bought my phone at the end of 2013, and although it is already old by the standards of the phone market, I am quite happy with it.
But not everything is so good, the phone starts to slow down a lot over time. And sometimes, just to make a call, you have to watch the strongest lags for 10-15 seconds. There are times when it is easier to reboot the phone than to wait.
Cleaning your phone and Hard Reset
I already wrote as much as possible, you can start with this, but such cleaning did not help my phone.
I also wrote how to do it, but after full reset telephone need to be reconfigured and reinstall the necessary applications.
And then when the lags became so bad that it was necessary to do a Hard Reset again, I decided to disable applications which take up the most memory. And I saw that my Android stopped slowing down, at least it started working normally.
Disabling Google Search
Turning off the service helped me " Google Search"The phone started working just fine, the lags are gone at all! I don’t know the problem is in the SONY firmware or in the Google search itself, but this really helped.
What do we have to lose?
Disabling the Google service means it will stop working voice search And Google Now of course it is convenient applications, but it’s better without them than with brakes. There is no way to disconnect will not affect regular search in the Google Chrome browser, only voice input and voice search will stop working!
Disconnection instructions
If you have made a decision and are ready to disable Google search, then take these steps:
Go to Settings - Applications, for me the “Downloaded” tab opens by default, on other phones the order may be different, look for the “All” tab (scroll to the right) 
To make it easier to search, we sort applications by size and look for an application with the name "Google Search"(may be called “Google Search”) and click on it. Here we have it stop, turn off, additionally erase data And clear cache.
Before checking, I recommend restarting your phone.
What if the phone is still slow?
Disabling search helped remove the brakes on my phone. If disabling search does not solve the problem try disabling other "fat" applications.
Write in the comments whether disabling search helped or not?
Sometimes phones, including HTC ones, freeze, slow down or lag while loading. In some cases, the process can be cyclical. The device turns on, starts to boot, the HTC logo appears, then turns off, after which it turns on again, turns off again, but it does not boot up normally.
This situation can cause you a lot of unpleasant moments, because you really can’t turn on the phone and use it. If a similar situation occurs with your device, then do not worry - it is possible to restore its operation.
First of all, you need to deal with the cyclic turning on and off of the device. If your smartphone has a non-removable battery (on most HTC phones you can remove it), turning off the device will be a little more difficult.
Press the power off button and hold it for 10-20 seconds. Sometimes difficulties may arise when using this method and then you will have to hold the key pressed for 1-2 minutes. If after 10-20 seconds nothing happens, then try not releasing the button a little longer.
Turn your phone back on. If you managed to turn off the phone, then leave it for 30 seconds and then turn the power back on. When trying to turn off the phone, some difficulties may arise.
Spontaneous reboot when HTC freezes (brakes). The task becomes more complicated if the device turns on spontaneously after turning off the power. Make sure that the power switch is not stuck or pinched under the protective cover.
The phone won't turn off. A frozen HTC phone may not respond to commands, and you may not be able to turn it off. In this case, you need to let the device completely discharge, then charge it and try to turn it on.
If possible, try to avoid complete discharge lithium ion battery, as this places a significant strain on the battery and in some cases may cause difficulties when attempting subsequent charging.
If, after turning it on, your HTC phone freezes again and does not turn off, then try discharging it again, and then charging it a little while it is off, then go to next steps.
Try removing your SD card from your HTC phone
If your HTC phone has a memory card installed, try removing it and rebooting the device. If the download is successful, you can reinsert the card. After installing it, do not forget to turn off and turn on the phone in order to check its functionality with the inserted card.
If your HTC phone freezes (lags and slows down) again, this may mean that the card is faulty. In this case, formatting or replacing the memory card may help.
Check the operation after downloading. If the phone turns on normally and functions properly, it is recommended to create an archive important information. If a malfunction or other emergency occurs, you will not lose the data you need.
Why does my HTC phone turn off spontaneously (by itself)
Sometimes the phone may turn off spontaneously. In some cases, it periodically reboots for no apparent reason.
Possible solutions:
If the problem is caused by a specific application, then open Settings – Energy consumption – Usage and determine which applications are consuming significant resources. If there are any, delete them from the phone's memory. You can also try uninstalling all apps and then selectively reinstalling them.

Should I change my phone?
If even after a complete reset the Android phone slows down, then perhaps it is simply outdated and no longer meets your requirements, it’s time to change it! 🙂
There are special applications to evaluate the performance of the phone, for example. Install and run this application and test your Android device; if your faithful friend scores less than 6000-7000 points in the test, then you should seriously think about a new device. 
When choosing a new device, it is desirable that it scores at least 15,000-20,000 points in Antutu; this is the minimum required for comfortable work and launching most games. But that's a completely different story.
