We bring to your attention some useful tips that will help you solve various problems that arise with your HTC One M7 smartphone. The HTC brand is associated with very large devices, and the One M7 is no exception. The smartphone supports GSM communications and also works in fourth generation LTE networks. The HTC One M7 features a 4.7-inch LCD-3 screen, brighter than previous One series models. If manufacturers of other smartphones still determine the quality of the camera by megapixels, then HTC has moved to a new level - ultrapixels. The One M7's four ultrapixels provide better image quality than the 4 and even 8 megapixel cameras found in previous models from the Taiwanese manufacturer. Other interesting innovations include a powerful processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM, and a new version of the proprietary HTC Sense 5 shell.

How to restore HTC One M7 if the smartphone freezes, stops responding to touches, or simply turns off and turns into a brick?
With such a powerful 4-core processor and a large amount of RAM, HTC One M7 can easily work with any application - both built-in and downloaded from Google Play. However, sometimes problems arise due to the fact that this or that application was originally created for a different version of Android and for different device specifications. Of course, it is possible to run such programs, but this can lead to the smartphone turning off and or simply freezing. In this case, you first need to try to soft reboot the device. If this does not produce results or the phone turned on, but soon began to work inadequately again, you need to proceed to a hard reset or formatting.
How to soft reset or soft format HTC One M7?
HTC One M7, like its predecessors, has a non-removable battery. So we won’t be able to remove the battery and thus restart the smartphone. So how then can you turn off a device that is frozen and not responding to any presses or touches? If your phone suddenly freezes while using an application, simply press and hold the power button for a few seconds. The phone will reboot and, as you can see, there is no need to remove the battery.
If the phone is partially frozen - that is, navigation in the menu is still possible - you can reboot it using the software method. A soft reboot is much safer, because in this case the smartphone will not lose any data that it managed to accumulate while working with applications.
Option 1: Soft reset.
If the phone is frozen and rebooting does not help, but we still have access to the menu, we need to do a soft reset.
1. Turn on HTC One M7.
2. Fully charge the battery.
3. Make sure that all important data is saved because soon all of them will be deleted from the device memory.
4. Go to Settings - Memory and select Full reset.
5. Confirm that you want to delete all data from your smartphone.
Option 2: Reset using the power button.
In cases where the LCD screen of the smartphone does not respond to anything and, therefore, we cannot use the menu, the only option is to reset using the power button.
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Make sure that all important data is saved because soon all of them will be deleted from the device memory.
3. The reset can be done both with the phone on and off.
4. Press both the power button and the volume down key at the same time and hold them until the menu appears.
5. Use the volume keys to select the “factory reset” option and press the power button.
6. HTC One M7 will start formatting, after which the phone can be used normally again.
How to install or reinstall "pure" Android on HTC One M7?
Everyone knows that no matter how good Android apps are, over time some of them can clog and damage the system, resulting in the need to reinstall it. Don't worry, it's very easy to do. First, you need to make sure that “pure” Android is in the built-in memory of your phone. Actually, it couldn’t get away from there anywhere unless you rooted the phone or installed custom firmware, which we don’t recommend doing. So, to restore your phone to its original state, just do a factory reset (software or using the power button), and Android will automatically install in its original form. Just remember to save all important information from your phone before reinstalling, as it will be deleted during the reset.
How to unlock and access HTC One M7 if you forgot your password, PIN code or don't remember the pattern (pattern) that unlocks the screen?
To protect your smartphone, you don't have to download any third-party apps; we recommend using the built-in screen lock pattern or PIN code. If your smartphone falls into the wrong hands, no one will be able to access your data. Problems begin when we ourselves forget the drawing or code. But, again, there is no reason to worry - Android provides for bypassing these protective mechanisms. First, try giving answers to a code or pattern request at random until the phone is completely blocked. Then the message “I forgot the code” will appear on the display. Press and hold it and you will be taken to a page where you will be asked to enter your Google account username and password. Thus, you will be able to bypass your own protective measures. If the transition to the Google page does not occur, the only option is a complete reset using the power key.
How can I improve the performance of HTC One M7 to make my smartphone run faster?
We already know that the HTC One M7 is a very powerful and fast device, but many people note that after some time of use, the phone begins to work slower. Why? The point is in applications, many of which load the phone with background tasks, and the user is not even aware of most of these programs. To find out which applications are slowing down your smartphone, go to Settings, then Applications, and check how much memory certain programs consume. If, after unloading unnecessary applications from memory, the phone does not work faster, do a hard reset. Just, we repeat once again, do not forget to save all important data first; they will be deleted during the procedure of resetting the phone settings.
Is there any secret code to format HTC One M7?

Soft Reset HTC
If you want to restart your HTC device's power cycle, you can simply soft restart your HTC. Ideally, this means restarting the device and turning it back on. Depending on the version of the HTC device you are using, there may be different ways to reset it. Most HTC One devices run on Android OS. If you also have an Android HTC One device, simply press the Power button. The power button is mainly located in the top corner.
After holding the Power button for a while, you will get various options like Power off, Restart/Reboot, etc. Tap on the restart option to soft reset your HTC One.

Note that on several HTC One Windows phones, this can be done by pressing the Power key and the Volume Up key (instead of the Volume Down key).
How to reset HTC to factory settings?
Before we tell you about the different methods to reset HTC, it is important to know the different types of reset that are available. You can reset your phone to factory settings or perform a soft reset on your HTC.
It is comparatively easier to perform a soft reset on your device. Ideally, a soft reset of HTC involves powering on the phone, that is, turning it off and on again. It involves a "reboot" process that can be easily performed by the user. If your phone has been running for a long period of time, then a reboot cycle can solve a lot of problems.
If you are facing problems related to calls, text messages, synchronization, sound problems, incorrect settings, Wi-Fi problems, network error, minor software problems, etc. Then a soft reset can fix most of these mishaps . Basically, it is used to stop slowness or delay in a device.
On the other hand, reset 2 returns your device's settings back to the original. It is also called a "hard reset" because it clears the operating system of any additional information. Once you reset your HTC, it will be as good as new.
If you are facing serious problems on your device due to corrupted firmware, any malware or virus attack, you have a bad app, you should try to reset your phone to factory settings. Users also perform a factory reset when the phone becomes obsolete or simply passes it on to someone else.
Although an HTC soft reset does not remove anything from your device, it is not the same as a factory reset. A factory reset makes your device's firmware brand new and you will lose your data during the reset process.
