Android phone reset

How to safely reset an Old Android phone before giving it away!

  • Don't just do a factory reset. That is not safe and is the equivalent of just reformatting a hard drive the data is still recoverable if you know how.. Make sure the phone Battery is fully charged.


  1. First go to Settings on you Android Phone - Security.
  2. Now ENCRYPTE THE DEVISE this may take awhile but it will safe you later.
  3. After encryption is complete you can now proceed with the factory reset.


This is not something I figured out. Cannot take the credit for it, found it on yahoo and felt this is important to share. Once I find something for IPhone you can be assured I will post it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
