How to reset Verizon Wireless Samsung Saga

Instructions for reset options for Verizon Wireless Samsung Saga

Soft reset:

The Reset button allows you to quickly turn off the phone in the event of a program or application error. In this case your Saga™ would appear to “freeze” and become unresponsive.

1. Locate the Reset button positioned just below the Camera/Camcorder key on the right side of the phone.
2. Carefully inserting a thin blunt object (such as your stylus) into this slot will exit the current screen and cycle power to the phone.

Reset button

Hard reset:

You can reset your phone’s settings and clear all data/applications from phone’s internal memory by using the Reset button in conjunction with the Optical Mouse . This action resets your phone to its factory default settings, ends all applications currently running, and wipes all data (pics/video/contacts) from your phone.

Note: Although this action wipes all information and settings from your Saga™, you can circumvent the
deletion of important data by storing it on your removable microSD memory card.

1. Locate both the Reset button and the Optical Mouse (shown below).This process requires the reset button and the Optical Mouse be pressed
simultaneously to initiate the reset process.
2. Press and hold the Optical Mouse and Reset simultaneously (by using a blunt object such as your stylus) for a few seconds.
3. First release Reset then the Optical Mouse . This action restarts the phone, clears any data stored on the phone, and then cycle power to the
phone.
4. The prompt: “Are you sure you want to format?” appears, press the SEND key to format, or END key to cancel.
5. Once the phone starts, you must tap the LCD screen using your Stylus to begin the calibration process.

Note: You should not use your fingertips during the calibration process as this can improperly calibrate your device. Please use the stylus for calibration of your Saga™.
6. Using your Stylus, tap within the crosshairs that appear in the align screen.
7. Follow the on screen tutorials and complete the setup process.

Clearing all Phone Data
Another method of deleting data and applications stored on the phone is to access the Phone Settings screen and use the Clear All Data function. Unlike resetting your phone back to its factory default (which wipes out both data and phone preferences), this feature only clears the data and applications stored within the phone’s internal memory while retaining all previous phone settings and preferences.
Important!: To be certain that your important data (Contacts, videos, pics) and applications are protected from such a deletion process, it is recommended you utilize a removable microSD card as the preferred storage medium.
1. From the Today screen, tap Start located in the upper left corner of the screen.
2. Tap Settings . By default, the Personal tab is highlighted.
3. Tap Phone .
4. Tap the Security tab.
5. Tap the Clear All Data button.
6. If you previously created a password, tap the Password field and enter your Lock Code into the Password field.
7. Tap the OK button to initiate the process.
8. Tap Yes to confirm.
