How can I wipe all user data from my phone before ...

Hi,
Please could you let me know if you have any tips for preparing a phone to be sold or given to someone else. I have an N80.
I can take out the memory card, use an external usb reader, and securely wipe that without any problem.
However, it is the phone's internal memory I'm thinking about.
I have tried doing a factory settings reset, but this still leaves text messages, and some applications. I could manually delete / uninstall these, but I'd probably miss something.
I'm not necessarily looking for full secure overwriting (although that would be good), but just some way of deleting all personal data.
Thanks for your help,
Charlie

Turn the phone off, get someone to help you at this point. Whilst you hold down the green phone, the star(*) key and the number (3) key, get the other person to turn the phone back on. Keep holding down the keys as idicated until the unit prompts for the pin or if no sim is inserted plays the nokia hands welcome video.
Phone would have been restored to "out of box" state!

    YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
    Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

    Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

    Hi Vanessa,
    There are two ways to solve your problem.
    1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
    2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
    Hope this helps

  • HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?

    Hello!
    I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) .  How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
    How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Maria

    backup the device and restore it as new.
    If you already have or don't need a backup:
    Erase your device
    Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
    To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
    If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  for the exact steps.
    Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

  • HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

    Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

    Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

    Hello,
    Please allow me to explain my situation:
    I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
    I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
    Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
    I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
    How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
    Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.

  • How can I erase all personal data from an e72?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. 
    I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box. 
    So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call). 
    But this hasn't removed my email accounts, text message inbox or calendar appointments from the phone, or removed applications that I installed. 
    Is there a simple way to erase all private data, as I really don't want the handset going back with all my work and private details on there.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yep, make sure it gets the most recent update when you get it (guide): http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
    I would recommend to use memorycard as messagememory. You fixe that in messaging->options->settings->other.
    Try to install all 3rd party apps on memorycard and stay away from awkward themes
    Clear the privacy data within the browser once in a while (if you surf a lot).
    As much free space on the phone memory seems to be a good thing. I had the E71, and E72 and never had better phones with better buildquality. The E72 is fast too.
    If you concider this thread as Solved, set it as solved and set the post you felt answered your questions as solution. Enjoy your new device!

  • How can I migrate all users preferences from 1 user to another on same MAC

    To get CS3 to work Adobe tech support had me create a new user account and install from there. Now the NEW account is the only account CS3 works in but all my settings, files, addresses, EVERYTHING are under the old account. Since it works on one account it's not their problem anymore. Is there ANYWAY to get all my old stuff from old account to new. I don't know where to begin, it's like I'm at a new computer. I can get to some of my files but can't save them back where they belong, grayed out.

    Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think we'd be better off figuring out how to install it for the other User, but...
    Do a Get info on the Adobe Apps/Folders in Applications on the working User, report the 3 Rights/Privileges.

  • How can i recover all my data from my HDD?

    My main External Hdd while writing to it got an error saying Cyclic Redundancy I tried using Chkdsk but it states that the data had turned RAW. Upon
    restarting my pc the disk drive H was no longer visible and the Hdd space is now unallocated space. 
    I want to recover all of the data if possible but most of the software i found was only one file type recovery software, I know that resigning the Volume
    to H will format the drive but as i dont want that i m lost . Can MiniTool Power Data Recovery help me ?

    Hi,
    As you said, in order to recovery deleted files or files on a corrupted disk, we will have to use a third party application.
    At this situation you may have to confirm with application provider to contact a data recovery company to see if files could be recovery. Generally a format will not affect finding the files back but as files on that disk is important, it is not recommended.
    Also if available it is good to ghost that disk and try steps on that ghost copy to product the original one. But if it is a hardware issue you may not able to get data back.
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

    I have  the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

    iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
    Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes.  Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
    If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how.  Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.
