Samsung has, however, come up with an alternative by integrating a nifty hardware force-restart feature on the Galaxy S6 trio and Galaxy Note 5. The process is not dissimilar to the standard Android force-restart facility, but the operation requires the inclusion of an extra button when doing it on a Samsung device. All you have to do is press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons consecutively for just seven-seconds, then your handset should turn off for a few seconds and power up again.
There’s not much else to say about the force-restart function, other than to advise you not to overuse this feature as it’s not particularly good for the CPU owing to the fact that rebooting puts a lot of strain on it during the course of recovering any data that was corrupted when the unit shut down.
