Want to sell HP? Here are 5 things you must do

factory reset before selling the cellphone

For those who often change cellphones, it's really mandatory to read this article until it's finished. Selling old cellphones is a mandatory activity for some people who have bought new cellphones, unless you really want your old cellphone collection in a glass cabinet, or you want to give your old cellphone to a relative or parent or friend, that's also a different story. Eh, but does anyone really give cellphones to friends? Try writing in the comments column, have you ever given or not given your cellphone to a friend? Vicigers.

Back to the main discussion, we want to tell everyone, that before selling your old cell phone, at least you have done these 5 things. Curious what are the 5 things to do? Let's look at the following explanation.

  • Make sure you have backed up important data on the cellphone you want to sell

If the cellphone you want to sell is your daily driver. So make sure no important data is left on your cellphone. For those of you who don't depend on or don't use cloud services at all, we suggest that you first move all your photo, video, music, or downloaded files that you consider important to your flash drive or laptop/PC.

Then you can back up all your chat applications, such as Whatsapp, Line, KakaoTalk, etc. Telegram is the best for now, because you don't need to bother with backups, your chat history will always be available wherever you log-in. Some chat applications have their own drawbacks, such as not being able to restore backup files on different platforms. This is very difficult if you want to switch from Android to iDevice or vice versa.

  • Make sure your Google/iCloud account is synced, especially phone contacts

Let's be honest, how many of you have already factory reset the cell phones that are for sale, then realize that your phone contacts are not synced by Google or any other storage service, because in fact you made the default storage of phone contacts in the internal memory.

So before proceeding to the factory reset step, you must make sure that everything that should be synchronized is properly synchronized.

  • Make sure you don't forget any passwords on your cellphone

This will be complicated, if the recovery option due to forgetting the password in an application, takes you to enter the email, but you also forget the email password. Then the email is not accompanied by any recovery options, which causes you to get stuck on things you shouldn't need, because you just forgot your password.

So if you can remember or record all your passwords in a safe place, there are even many applications in the play store/app store that provide a secure password saving feature, if you really need it.

  • Make sure the factory reset has been done completely before selling your cellphone

You don't want important data/photos/videos or your embarrassment to be seen by people, do you? So before selling your cellphone, make sure that you have done a factory reset correctly. Then you don't need to worry about this.

  • Make sure your cellphone is complete and functioning properly

This is the last step, before you sell your old cellphone to the new employer. Make sure your cellphone is complete and everything is functioning properly. It's another thing if you really plan to sell your cellphone in bars, and with detailed information about what minuses are on your cellphone.

Remember carefully, we really advise you to provide honest information to potential buyers, so you don't lose out in the future. It could be right, because you are not honest, and buyers find minuses that shouldn't exist. Transactions that should have been completed were cancelled.
