Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 review

Hello, I have been using this phone for 5 years, what can I say.
Pros: small, convenient size. Fits very well in the hand, not too heavy! The screen works well, does not slow down! I have never complained about the connection, the reception is excellent, the interlocutor can be heard well, the speakers work well, it is loud enough and there are headphones, wifi, 3g. But there is one bad minus, a very weak battery, if you actively use it, it will last half a day! And so, in principle, the phone is normal and inexpensive) Thank you

As you can already understand, this instruction is devoted to how to hard reset Sony Xperia. We will look at several working options for performing this action and why this is necessary at all and in what cases it is useful. A hard reset itself is a complete reset of the system of your smartphone or tablet to its original settings, naturally with the complete deletion of all personal data from the internal memory (everything on the SD card remains in place). Synonyms for this concept include the following: hard reboot, factory reset, wipe data and, in fact, these concepts define the same action - rebooting the device and rolling back the system to its stock state.

There is even a joke that “a hardset saves you from all troubles.” Here are the cases in which it is appropriate to do a hard reset of Sony Xperia:

  • when the device malfunctions (maybe you suspect that the system is infected with a raging virus);
  • if you want to reset your smartphone’s configurations and settings to its out-of-the-box state;
  • The device’s memory is full, it’s glitchy and slow, and there’s no desire to bother with cleaning;
  • you are planning to sell your favorite gadget and want to delete all personal data and return its system to stock condition, or you yourself want to use the device, as they say, from scratch;
  • hard reset is also applicable in the case of resetting the password and unlocking the smartphone if you have forgotten it.

It is worth understanding that this manipulation will completely clear all your data, so before performing it, make a backup, save photos, videos, music, contacts and everything else. Well, now there are several ways to do a hard reset on the Sony Xperia Z5, Z3, Z2 and other smartphones.

The first way is through the settings menu

The simplest and most effective method. Go to “Settings – Backup and reset – Master reset”. Here you can choose to delete data from memory or not by simply checking the appropriate box. If your smartphone is buggy, the memory is full, the system is not working as it should, then we recommend checking the box and pressing the “Reset phone settings” button.

The second way is through the service menu

Another simple way, if the smartphone is not frozen, and you can control it. Open the dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialing field, which will open access to the service menu. In it, select “Customization Settings – Reset customization – Reset customization and reboot”.

The third way is using PC Companion

Every Sony Xperia owner's computer must have this application installed, which is universal for updating, restoring, creating backups, etc. To restore your smartphone, you need to run “PC Companion – Support Zone – Software Update – Phone/Tablet Recovery”. We wrote about this in detail in
