Whatever the circumstances may be, sometimes we need to wipe our phones of all of their content. Maybe you are getting ready to sell it through mobile shope, and whoever is buying your phone certainly doesn’t need to see all of your stuff on their new phone. So, how do we factory reset an Android device? Let’s get to it.
Follow this step
a. Open the Settings menu on your device.
b. Under the Personal category, select “Backup & Reset.”
c. At the bottom, you will see “Factory data reset.”
Note: If you select to factory wipe your device, all info will be wiped including contacts (unless they’re sync’d to your gmail account), pictures, documents, and everything else.
d. After selecting Factory data reset, the device asks to make sure this is the task you want to perform. If yes, push, “Reset phone.”
Once push, the device boots into recovery and wipes it full clean. After it is done, it will reboot and your device will act as if it is brand new with all of its content gone. At this point, you can go ahead and do what you will with the device with don't worries of anyone seeing those pictures you took in Vegas.Factory Reset
Factory reset would not be Android if there was not at least a few ways of doing things. For anyone running a manufacturer’s skin atop their Android OS, things sometimes look different. Also, depending on which version of Android you are running, the Reset option could be under the subcategory in the Settings menu. For example, for users on Gingerbread, the option to factory reset a device is under the “Privacy” settings menu.
