Reset

Performing a hard/factory reset

You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the

factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you

are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove

all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not

solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.

A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your

personal data and customized settings, and also removes any

programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the

information and files you want to keep.

If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft”

reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove

the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-

installing the battery, turn on the phone.

Performing a factory reset via settings

The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone

settings.

Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.

Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data

reset.

On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap

Erase everything.
