Remove Messages, Contacts and email settings

[Freeman551]

Hey

I've got this ASUS smartphone I'm giving away (its got a cracked screen) - and because its ASUS I cant flash it.

Is there a way to wipe the Messages, Contacts and email settings through activesync, I can see program files windows dirs etc...?


Thanksn

you can hard reset it. just search for the combination of how to hard reset your asus and you'll be ok.

The only way for this phone is through the phone interface of which I cannot access (http://www.hardreset.eu/asus_p750_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html)

Doesn't make sense. there's always a way to hard reset using the Hardware buttons only since a Hardreset is supposed to solve the issue of having problems using your touchscreen or the Interface in general. find it .. and you're ok

Are you saying theres nothing I can do with remote filesystem access through activesync.

if you go to active sync and uncheck the sync options for contacts, callender and emails, doesnt this wipe them off the device?

The other option in to rename the pim file on the device to something else, soft reset, then you can delete the pim file. worked for me when i lent out my prophet to a mate for a while (although i didnt delete the file, just hid it out of prying eyes:D

yup, these are good options as well.
when you sync with nothing it erases everything. messages and call history won't be wiped.. for messages you can rename cemail.vol and pim.vol and then delete them.
tho if your screen is cracked.. i see no reason why not to save yourself the trouble and just hard reset

yh thats true:)

there should be a way to hard reset using clear storage in software, unless the screen is dead dead and cant be used... (or is that just wm6? its been a while since i used wm5 lol)

[nir36]

you can hard reset using software in WM5 to my knowledge.. but he can't since his screen can't be used (as far as i understand).

[timmymarsh]

if he can still sync, might be able to use my mobiler to access the functions on the device whilst synced via the computer, goto clear stoarge and activate it... should work... long winded yes lol, but short of knowing how to hardware reset i dont know.
