Reset The Samsung Intercept

The Samsung Intercept is an Android smartphone available from Sprint and Virgin Mobile. To clear all of the data off of your Intercept and reset all of the phone's settings, you can use the factory data reset command in the Intercept's privacy settings menu. If a software error is preventing you from resetting your phone from the privacy settings menu, you can reset the phone from a service menu instead.


Instructions


Settings Menu


1. Press the "Home" button to view your Intercept's home screen, then press the "Menu" button and tap the "Settings" icon.


2. Tap "Privacy," then tap "Factory data reset."


3. Tap the "Reset phone" button, then tap "Erase everything" to reset your Intercept to its factory state.

4. Hold the "Power" button, tap "Power off" and tap "OK" to turn your Intercept off. If your Intercept is frozen and will not respond to button presses, take the battery out of your Intercept to turn it off, then put the battery back into the phone.
