Resetting your mobile device

We recommend resetting your mobile device prior to installing AssetTrack Mobile so that you can be ensured of working from a clean baseline, or when you are troubleshooting issues with your device.

Warm boot

A warm boot, also known as "soft reset", is the equivalent of rebooting your desktop or laptop computer. All of your programs and your data will be unaffected. Warm booting is often the first thing that you try when a device is behaving unexpectedly.

Cold boot

A cold boot, also known as "hard reset", is the equivalent of formatting your desktop or laptop computer and reinstalling your operating system. The device will return to factory state, and all of your programs and data will be lost. The Windows Mobile operating system will reinstall itself.
