The HTC launched its new compact featured phone Desire 816. The phone has got some decent specifications like a 1.6 GHz processor, 8 GB internal memory, 13 MP camera, 5 MP front camera, latest android OS and many more.
The price for the Desire 816 is around US $ 400 which I guess is not much to invest in the brand called HTC. The phone is very good with all the touch and apps, but the android makes a hole in security and thus virus can damage your phones easily but the hard reset can do the trick for you.
Here below are some methods which can be used for the hard reset of the HTC Desire 816.

If the above method is too long or hard to practice for you, then you can follow the 2nd method of hard reset which is as below.
- First of all switch of your Desire 816 before pressing and holding the volume down button.
- With the volume down button holding, press and hold the power key too.
- Release the keys after the android logo appears on the screen.
