So you want to sell your Galaxy S II or return it but you dont want to leave your data for others to find? Heres how to ensure that its gone.
Dont laugh, Ive been reviewing smartphones for years and I could write a short book telling all the funny goodies Ive found on phones because people didnt take the time to remove their personal data. I had one that must have been used by the PR rep that sent me the unit since they left their contacts on it and the contents read like a whos who of mobile blogging. I had the personal data of a financial analyst from the Wall Street Journal a few years back. I also found a memory card full of music, photos, and even some NSFW video. These are people that should have all known how to protect their data. I never used any of this data for evil, Id just wipe that data for them.
So, that said On to the show.
Heres a quick video I did to demonstrate how to do a hardware hard reset on the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. This same method works for all of last years Samsung Galaxy models like the Fascinate and Captivate. It also works for this years Galaxy S II models.
If you have any questions on how to do a reset on other models, feel free to contact me.
