before you do a reset you might want to back up any picsetc or make sure they are saved to the memory card.
if you want to save any sms message history etc you can download an app caled sms backup and restore.

"cheers guys .. im a total numpty wen it comes to technology so may i ask how i do a factory reset ??"
So, if your brand new Samsung Galaxy S III runs into a problem, the first thing you should try is a reboot.
Here's how it's down:
Press and hold the ‘Power’ button for 10-12 seconds
If, once your device reboots, it’s still suffering from the problem you should then try a hard reset. This can be accomplished thusly:
Press and hold ‘Volume Up’ + ‘Power’ + ‘Home’
This should reset your device back to its default settings and will almost certainly eradicate any problems you’ve been experiencing.
If the problems are still there after rebooting and hard resetting then you should consider wiping your device by:
[This will erase everything, so perform backups before proceeding]
Tapping ‘Settings’
Choose ‘Privacy’
Tap ‘Factory Data Reset’
Select ‘Reset Phone’
Choose ‘Erase Everything’
This will then wipe your device, leaving it in a factory fresh state.

Another thing to bear in mind about these phones, the apps, dont bother with battery savers and app killers etc, they dont work and can cause your phone to keep switching itself off or over heating..
I have an S2 and it used to do it all the time, a reset was suggested but I just deleted those sort of apps and now its fine.
Also, check out the help forums regularly  |
