Hard Reset - advantages and disadvantages ZTE Grand X4?
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 problems that arose after installing some applications and remained after they were removed from the phone.
Disadvantages of Hard Reset:
All data and applications on the device will be deleted. The need to have a fresh backup of your phone's data, contacts, and media. 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 do not need to enter the login password for your Google account and you can immediately use your device. If after a hard reset the phone is locked and you cannot remember the login and password to enter your Google account, then you need to bypass the FRP lock. Some new phone models may have problems with bypassing the FRP protection and for this you will need to contact the official service center.
After performing a hard reset, your device will be completely wiped clean. Everything that was in the memory of your device will be deleted.
