Re: Unusable Android J5(6)

Frank,

Please *read* my response to J�rg [1], including me pointing to
the specific part of J�rg's reference.

To do a 'Hard reset' ('Wipe data/factory reset'), *you only need
to push/use the (physical) buttons on the device.

I suggest you read your indicated message yourself, and point out (quote)
where you said that last bit.  Good luck. :-)

Besides the problem that my device has a few other buttons other than the
power one that is, and you forgot to mention which one(s) I would need to
press - as well as until when.

I know of a "factory reset" - or whatever its called it the settings  - but
was not aware of a rather similar thing hidden behind a special button
combination.

Also, I was, just as others here where, assuming it was a theft deterrant.
Not something that could be evaded by pressing the right buttons.  And if
anything my visit to a local phone-repair shop seems to support that, as
they didn't make any suggestion that it could be done that way.

And by the way, that special buttons trick doesn't seem to want to work
here.
