12.8 Resetting your phone
12.8.1 Backing up my data
You can use your Google account to back up your phone’s settings to
Google servers. If you replace your phone, the settings you have
backed up will be transferred to the new phone the first time you sign
in to your Google account.
1. On the Settings screen, touch Privacy.
2. Select the Back up my data check box.
12.8.2 Restoring factory data
If you reset your phone to the settings that were configured at the
factory, all of your personal data stored on the phone, including
information about your Google Account, any other accounts, your
system and application settings, and any applications you have
downloaded will be erased. Resetting the phone does not erase any
system software updates you have downloaded or any files on your
microSD card, such as music clips or photos.
1. On the Settings screen, touch Privacy > Factory data reset.
2. When prompted, touch Reset phone, and then touch Erase
everything. The phone resets the settings to the original factory
settings, and then restarts.
