  Hi, make sure the battery is charge properly. Because sometime if the battery is empty, then the phone will turn off by itself after turning on. the second possibility that maybe happen at your HTC Desire S is because your applications got crash and also can make phone not work right. However, if the problem comes from software or applications, you still can try to reinstall the clean factory default operating system by doing hard reset. Please try to do hard reset with hardware button key above.

Whenever I try to do the hard reset using the volume down and power buttons my Desire S just turns on normally too? It doesn’t go to the menu that you talk about. Also, in the Settings, Privacy menu there is not a Factory Reset option. Any tips please?

  Hi, please note that the steps at #Option 2 above will start from OFF position. Therefore you need to turn off your Desire S first before performing hard reset using hardware button combination key.
