The soft reset has been completed.
On the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, the small yellow reset button (OFF) is placed under the cover for the nano SIM card holder. Press the button with the tip of a pencil or a similar object and hold it down for 5-10 seconds. After a series of quick vibrations, release the restart button. Don’t use any sharp objects or press the button too hard, otherwise you can damage it.
Then turn on the phone in the regular way by pressing the power/unlock button. After the restart all settings and personal data such as contacts, music, photos and other files will stay intact.
