AT&T Tilt Cell Phone Freezes or Locks Up - How To Restart the AT&T Tilt Cellphone

Perhaps you're wondering what to do if your AT&T Tilt cell phone freezes or locks up. I’ve had my phone since October 2007, and it’s only happened to me a few times, so this is a pretty infrequent occurrence, but still a problem none-the-less.

When the AT&T Tilt cell phone becomes frozen, unresponsive, or appears to be locked up, it can usually be resolved by holding down the power button (located on the top right side of the phone and shown in the screenshot below) for about 3 seconds.




What normally happens next is a message displays on the screen, saying “Your are about to power off and you may lose data. Do you want to continue?” When you click yes, the AT&T Tilt cellphone will turn off.

This worked for me almost every time. One time it was completely un-responsive, and the only way I could restart the AT&T Tilt cell phone was to take the back casing off and remove the battery. See the image below of how to take the battery out of the AT&T Tilt Cellphone.





This is an alternative way to power off the phone if the power button on the AT&T Tilt cell phone doesn’t seem to work.
