what's up guys is Davey here from Wambach calm and today I'm gonna show you one the most basic troubleshoots you could do on your Android phone and that's a hard reset or a factory reset basically what this does is it wipes out everything on your phone and revert it back to the factory defaults like the way it was the day you first got your phone this helps ensure any software problems you might be having are resolved and also help determine whether or not the issues you're having our hardware or software related with that said I'll go ahead and show you how to do it you're going to press Menu from your home screen you're going to hop into settings and from this list you're going to look for something along lines of privacy or phone and storage every phone is a little bit different so you might have to look around but in this case it's under privacy for this phone you see at the very top it says factory data reset here's might say something different but it's pretty much you know along those lines so I'll go ahead and tap this guy and you can see you have the option to format my USB storage because this phone does have an internal memory I can format this but this erases all my music my photos and other media files so I'm going to skip that and for the most part if you're trying to fix problem you can too but if you want to wipe your phone out completely pictures and all just hit check that guy and your phone will be completely wiped but in this case I'm just going to hit reset phone and it warns me says it will delete all personal information and downloaded applications basically like they was when you first got it so I'm going to go ahead and hit erase everything and you see it's going through its little boot it'll restart your phone takes a couple of minutes depending on your device and it'll load back up and you'd have to LA tree login to your Gmail account to get your contacts back if you have synced them with Gmail but that's pretty much it this is Dave in phonebook calm thank you for watching the video and don't forget to visit fumble comm for more cellphone news reviews and help twos thank you
