Because the Pocket 2S is an Android device, the normal reset is the standard Android factory reset under Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data. If the system is frozen, hold POWER for about 10 seconds to reboot. If Android cannot start, boot into Android Recovery from a full power off by holding POWER and tapping VOL+, then highlight Wipe data/factory reset with the volume keys and confirm with POWER. A factory reset erases internal storage and settings but does not touch files on the microSD card, so back up internal saves first.
