== Wipe android phone before selling ==Erase your Android device before selling it or throwing it away. You need to do this to keep your personal data secure. All Android devices, the phones and tablets, allow a way to wipe via a hard reset. The reset process is different from one Android device manufacturer to the next. The best thing to do is to go to your settings menu and look for a reset option.Keep in mind that a reset does not clear your microSD card. You should remove your microSD card. If you plan to sell it with the phone, you should wipe and reformat it manually. Some phones give you the option to format the SD card at the same time you erase the rest of the device. If not, you'll want to connect the device to a computer and format the card.Technically data can still be recovered after a format by someone with advanced technical skill and/or the right tools. There are programs that will do a secure wipe or overwriting format. This extra step will prevent recovery of your data from the microSD card.Finally, if you want to be extra extra careful, you should change the Google account password associated with your phone. Each time you change Android devices and dispose or sell it, go in to Google and change your account password.
