Backup and Reset Settings

Set options for backing up your data to the Google servers.
Backup and Restore Settings
You can back up your data to a Google Account, and use the backed-up date to restore information when
you re-install an app, or when you get a new phone.
1. From home, tap
2. Tap Backup and Reset to configure backup features:

Back up my data: Tap the checkbox to turn on automatic backup to a Google Account, and
then set up an account for the backups.

Backup account: When Back up my data is turned on, set up a Google Account for backups.
You can set up a new Google Account, or sign in to an existing account.

Automatic restore: When Back up my data is turned on, you can also turn on Automatic
restore to automatically restore settings and other information from the backup when you
reinstall an app.
Factory Data Reset
When you perform a Factory data reset, all your personal information is erased from the phone, and all
settings are returned to the factory defaults. All data will be erased, and cannot be recovered. A factory
data reset also erases the key for decrypting files stored on an optional installed memory card, so files on
the card cannot be used after the reset.
1. From home, tap
2. Tap Backup and Reset > Factory data reset > Reset device.

If you have set a PIN, password, or fingerprint screen lock, enter the PIN or password (or
backup password, in the case of fingerprint), and tap Next.

Tap Format SD card to permanently erase all data from the memory card (not included)
when resetting the phone.
3. If you are certain you want to reset your phone and delete your personal information and
downloaded applications, tap Delete all.
