Phones tend to act up at times, and we find ourselves needing to reset them. The process of resetting a phone to its original manufacturer settings is called a factory reset. Mobicel devices are among the smartphones that people do a factory reset on. If you plan on resetting your Mobicel, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Back-Up Your Data
The first thing you need to do before resetting your Mobicel is to back up all the data that you do not want to lose. A factory reset wipes out everything on the phone, including contacts, text messages, and media files. To back up your data:
- Connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable
- Access the internal storage and copy all the files to your computer
- Copy your contacts to your SIM card or email them to yourself
Step 2: Perform A Factory Reset
The second step is to perform a factory reset using the following procedure:
- Go to the phone menu and select settings
- Select the "Backup and Reset" option from the list
- Select "Factory Data Reset". A confirmation prompt will appear
- Confirm that you wish to proceed with the reset by clicking "Reset Phone"
- The phone will reboot, and the reset process will begin
Caution:
Performing a factory reset on your Mobicel permanently deletes all data from the phone. Make sure you have backed up all your important data before proceeding with the reset.
Step 3: Restore Your Data
After completing the factory reset, you can restore your data from the backup you made earlier. To restore your data:
- Connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable
- Copy all the files you backed up earlier to the internal storage of your phone
- Import your contacts from your SIM card or email
Conclusion
A factory reset can resolve many issues with your Mobicel, from software glitches to improving device performance. It is easy to reset, but remember to back up your data before performing the reset to avoid losing important files, contacts, and media. To reset again, just follow the straightforward process outlined above.
