Hard Reset - advantages and disadvantages Vodafone Smart 4G?
In simple words, Hard Reset means hard resetting the phone. As a result, the system automatically returns to the factory settings and the system is completely cleared. Contacts, correspondence, application, files, search queries, passwords - all of this is deleted from the device's memory.
Benefits of Hard Reset:
The ability to get a completely clean phone from user settings and data. Remove viruses and applications that slow down the phone and give constant errors. Solving various problems that arose on the device after installing some applications and did not disappear after uninstalling them.
Disadvantages of Hard Reset:
Complete cleaning of all user data on the device. The need to back up all data and contacts. Not all viruses will be removed even after the hard reset procedure.
What needs to be done before the Hard Reset operation.
Before hard reset, make sure you know the access data for your google account, otherwise the phone will be blocked by the FRP. You can sign out of your google account before resetting. In this case, after performing a factory reset, you can immediately use your device. If, after a hard reset, the phone is locked by the FRP and you cannot remember the login password for logging into your Google account, then you need to use the instructions for bypassing the FRP lock for your phone model. Owners of new phone models do not get to bypass the protection of the FRP and will need to contact the official service center.
