Hang in there! It’s super annoying, but you’re not alone. Hopefully, one of these solutions works for you. 
You know you could always try turning it off and on again. If only it were that simple for life, right?
Haha, so true! But seriously, if nothing works, maybe take it to a professional. They can diagnose hardware issues more accurately.
I totally understand your frustration! When my phone said ‘Initializing’, I simply restarted it. Have you tried that yet?

I tried restarting, but it’s still stuck. Is a factory reset worth it?
Yes, a factory reset can help, but it will erase all data. Just be sure to back up anything important first!
Thanks, Darlene! How do I perform a factory reset?
You can usually find the option under Settings > System > Reset options. Just ensure you follow the steps carefully.
If all else fails, it might be time to consider professional repair services. Sometimes these problems are hardware-related.
That sounds like a hassle! I hope I can fix it myself first.

Hang in there, Iacosta! Sometimes a good ole’ soft reset works wonders, too. Have you tried removing the battery (if applicable)?

I haven’t tried that yet! Hopefully, it’ll do the trick!
And if it doesn’t work, it might just need a knight in shining armor—aka the technician! Seriously, sometimes we all need help!
