If you have a stuck Nokia Lumia 610 or Nokia Lumia 610C this how to
reset guide can be helpful to you. First thing you need to know is that
you should never reset your smartphone’s OS unless there is no other way
to solve your problem. Because sometimes you can damage your phone even
further. Only Hard reset your phone when there is absolutely no other
other way.
This
guide works for both Nokia Lumia 610 and Lumia 610C, both of these
mobile phones are practically the same. Okay so first step if your phone
is stuck and is not responding to any of your commands simply do a
power reset. To do a power reset pull the battery out of your mobile
phone, wait for a few seconds and put the battery back in. Turn on the
mobile phone and hopefully your phone will start working again.
Nokia Lumia 610C and Lumia 610 Power Reset Guide. Doing a power reset will not reset of delete anything on your mobile phone.

Wait for a few seconds
Put the battery back in
Turn on the phone
Okay
so if that does not solve your problem and you are still having trouble
working with your phone then it is time to do Software OS reset on your
Nokia Lumia 610C.
Warning! Doing a software OS reset will delete
all of your data from the mobile phone. It will delete all the Contacts,
SMS messages, Games and Applications. It will reset your Windows Live
ID as well and your phone will get back to its original factory state.

If your Nokia Lumia 610C Proximity or Ambient Light Sensor has
stopped working or you are getting any other kind of malfunction
solution in this post can help you. Before I explain the solution let me
explain what Light Sensor and Proximity Sensor is.
Ambient Light
Sensor in Nokia Lumia 610 or Lumia 610C is used to detect light around
your mobile phones to make necessary adjustments to the brightness. When
you activate Auto Brightness feature in your mobile phone the
brightness gets low when you are in a dark area and it gets high when
you are outside. This information is provided to your mobile phone by
Ambient Light Sensor or ALS for short.
The proximity sensor is
used when you receive a phone call and pressing the phones next to your
ear the screen gets dark to save battery. To start repairing first you
need to check if Software is not causing this issue. To check that your
need to activate Diagnostics App in your Nokia Lumia 610C. If you don’t
know how read this guide How to Test and Diagnose Problems in Nokia Lumia 610C.
After
opening Diagnostics app open up ALS Test. Here you will see a grey
scale rectangle in the middle of the screen and a light intensity value.
Cover the Proximity window on your phone to see the if the Rectangle
changes colors and The Light Intensity in mLux is changed. If the ALS is
working there then you need to flash your phone. If not than you need
to change your Nokia Lumia 610 ALS sensor with a new one. Nokia Lumia 610C ALS TestHere
is a Flowchart explaining the same procedure I mentioned above. Read it
carefully. I have also marked Nokia Lumia 610C Proximity and ALS sensor
