CHAPTER 30 Maintaining Your Device
Doing a hard reset
Only do a hard reset if a soft reset doesn’t solve your problem, or if you want to clear all of your
information from your device.
A hard reset deletes all records and entries stored on your device, including the
username that identifies the device. This is another reason why it's important to synchronize
often, so you have an up-to-date backup available. Before you do a hard reset, be sure to
synchronize
. Applications, files, and folders moved to your device's internal drive with File
Transfer are not automatically backed up during synchronization. Use File Transfer
to copy or
move the updated files and folders to your computer, or to back up the contents of your
device's
entire internal drive to your computer.
