CHAPTER
Performing a hard reset
A hard reset erases all personal
information, such as appointments,
contacts, and tasks, as well as programs
you have added, such as third-party
software on your smartphone. Never do a
hard reset without first trying a soft reset.
You can restore previously synchronized
information the next time you sync.
IMPORTANT Synchronize to restore your
Outlook data, such as Outlook email,
Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Tasks. You
can use a backup and restore solution
(make sure it’s an application that’s
approved by Palm) to restore
configurations and preferences such as
speed-dial buttons, SMS entries, call log
information, and personal settings.
A hard reset can tell you whether a
problem stems from your smartphone or
from an application installed on it. If you do
not experience the problem after you
perform a hard reset, the problem may be
related to software you installed. See
