The Android mobile operating system can be not only a convenient tool for performing everyday tasks using a smartphone, but also a very capricious burden with freezes, errors and problems. One of the cardinal and correct ways to solve problems with a "tired" system is to completely reset your Android smartphone to factory settings. The need for this event may also arise if you need to sell the device on the secondary market.
So, you finally decided that it's time to reset the settings to factory settings, because when buying a smartphone "flew", and now there are noticeable delays when opening menu items or launching applications. There are several ways to perform a reset.
Important! Before performing a general reset, make sure that you have saved all the data stored in the smartphone's memory: photos, contacts, SMS messages, and notes. A factory reset will completely delete the information stored in the device's memory.
Method 1: Factory reset via the menu
The easiest way to restore your Android smartphone to its pre-sale state is to perform a factory reset from the corresponding menu item. This option is relevant for devices that do not experience critical problems with navigating through the system's menu items.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the list that opens and click on " Reset settings "(the name of this item may look different on different smartphones: "Reset phone settings", "General reset"," Erase all data", etc.).
Important! The system will warn you that all personal information, settings, apps, and data will be deleted during the reset.
3. Confirm the reset operation by selecting "Erase all".
Method 2: Reset using hardware keys
Depending on the current state of the device, you may need to perform a general reset using the smartphone's hardware keys. If your device hangs tightly on the logo at boot, or immediately after booting the system, problems start moving through menu items, endless pop-up errors and a complete failure in the adequate operation of the capacitive screen, this option to reset the settings is what you need.
