IPhone is not working after Factory reset?
You need a sims card now dummy lol. Thats why you dont hard reset an iphone unless you buy it new xD now find a mini sims card and put it in the phone. Then it wont fail to verify it
Can I factory reset my I phone but keep my number? Do I need to take out the SIM card first?
When a phone is reset, it erases all user settings, files, apps, content, contacts, emails, and so on. It is like a fresh install of the operating system. The phone number and service provider are stored on the SIM and this is not erased. There is no need to take it out.On an Android phone, go to Settings > General Management > Reset. (Different versions of Android name menus differently.)On an iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset.
Will there be any problem if we factory reset a phone? What is the benefit of resetting a phone?
Thanks for the A2A,Well, the benefit is that most simple issues that are software related can be solved by factory resetting a phone, such as lags, or something not working properly (as long as it’s not a hardware fault), camera app is very slow, things like that, or simple viruses,But, do note that some viruses cannot be simply removed by factory resetting a phone, because factory reset only reset data, apps, personal info and cache, and not the system itself, you can do a system wipe in recovery mode, but then you’ll need to manually install the original ROM yourself though the same mode in order to remove a tough virus,And also, there won’t be any problems with the normal factory reset, on the contrary, you will notice that your phone became more quick and more responsive,Hope my answer helped.
If I do a factory reset on my tracfone, will I lose all the talk, text, and data?
It should be fine. You will lose every that is ON the phone but Tracfone will remember your activation, service days, minutes (and for Android phones the text and data bucket totals). I factory reset my Android Tracfone w/ no restoration of any backed-up apps/data and it still had its days and minutes/texts/data buckets. I did need to re-install the Tracfone widget to see them (since Android Tracfones don't have a Tracfone airtime display built in), or I could have checked in my account at the Tracfone site. TIP - back up to a computer or cloud anything you don't want to lose. For example, I went into Contacts, exported those to a VCF aka Vcard file then mailed that file to myself and I saved off my photos. After I reset, I restored some photos and I imported the Vcard file to get my contacts back.
