Tips and Tricks: Hard Reset of your Motorola Droid
Unfortunately, this is something that sometimes needs to be done with a phone. Fortunately, outside of your applications, contact information can be synced from your Google account and such, so restoration isn’t as terrible as you may think.
For me, it was the official Twitter application that hosed my phone up. When you have a lot of contacts, my suggestion is that you do not sync your Twitter contact information. Since it doesn’t ask where to store the information, it stores it directly on the phone memory which will fill up and basically leave you with an always syncing phone.
To hard rest your Motorola Droid:
- Turn the Droid off.
- Open the keyboard.
- Hold the X key and hit the power button. Keep holding the X button down until a yellow triangle appears on the screen.
- Press the camera and volume up buttons at the same time to get to the menu.
- Use the directional pad to the right of the keyboard to select the Format option.
Once you format the phone, it’ll basically set it up like it was at the store. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through the entire process of letting the system know what your ESN is and what not, since that should already be in the system. The rest is just setting the phone back up to however you had it before.

I recently loaded my work netbook with Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala. What’s interesting is that with the HP Mini 210, the touchpad is an integrated key/touchpad. Which means you can run into some really nastiness when it comes to trying to click or right click since the mouse will move to place where you’re “pressing” for the click.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_c.png?x-id=df1fcf4e-59bc-434c-9b84-0389b81a96a2)
If there’s one thing that I despise, it’s when sites move slowly. Like they drag. And when it comes to blogging software, these usually are hella draggers. But fortunately there are a few ways to speed things up without actually giving up as much. The biggest one that you can ever focus on is caching.
