The easiest way to backup everything is through an application called G Cloud: It will create a copy of your files on the Internet so that you can then easily restore Android. You can download this app from the Google Play Store.

First method to reset the Pantech Element Android

You can reset Android from the Android menu through this method. Hence, you got to have access to your Pantech Element operative system.

If this is OK, then you navigate into the applications menu , tap Settings , go to Backup and Restore (or Privacy if you are on Android 3.2 Honeycomb ), press Factory data reset , then choose Reset Device and finally select “Clear All” .

  3. Press the VOLUME UP button to display the hidden recovery menu
