Do you need to reset Android to factory settings?
If your phone is lagging, you want to remove junk files and apps, or you're planning to sell or donate your phone, performing a hard reset will delete your personal data so the phone will be as good as new.
Watch this guide to find out how to factory reset an Android phone.
Applicable for all OPPO smartphones.
Important: Performing a factory reset may erase all personal data on your phone. You should back up anything you need before formatting the device.
Before you start
To avoid problems, there are a few things you should do before performing a hard reset of your device:
1. Know your phone password and Google Account username and password
You will need to enter your phone password before you can format your device. You may also be asked to log in to your Google Account, depending on the reset method you use. If you have changed your Google Account password recently, you should wait at least 24 hours before doing a reset.
2. Back up any data stored on the device
Personal data such as contacts, images, videos and downloaded apps may be erased when you reset Android to factory settings. If you don't want to risk losing your data, make sure it's backed up in the cloud, on a storage drive or on another device.
3. Make sure your phone is fully charged and connected
Formatting your phone could take up to an hour, depending on how much data there is. If the phone battery dies during the process, this will interrupt the reset and could lead to problems. Make sure your phone is fully charged or keep it plugged in. You should also make sure it's connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile network in case you need to sign in to Google.
