In formatting your cell phone your operating system like iOS, symbian, Windows or Android are not at all to be reinstalled unlike in computers. The OS is not affected and it remains intact.

The procedure where you have to reinstall the OS is called flashing in cell phone repair jargon, which is very much different from formatting. So let us go ahead with formatting a phone and not get confused with flashing. DIY type of people especially get confused between these two terms.

In general the process of formatting is usually done when there is any problem due to infection by a virus.

The most common signs of virus infected phone are:

1. Opening of an application takes time or in other words the process is very slow.
2. The phone switches off and restarts on its own frequently.
3. The phone hangs up i.e freezes often ie to say no buttons operate and the screen remains as it is.
4. Sometimes some application and/or files get corrupt or they are inaccessible.
5. Any related problem that looks like the system is infected by virus.

The method to format a cell phone is given below:

Open the menu and select settings. You will find an option for reset settings in this menu. Select this. In this you will get multiple options viz. 1. reset settings only and 2. Reset all / master reset / erase all data. Select the second one. You will be asked for the security code, If you have changed the default code then type the changed code if not then enter the default security code . If you do not know the default code then click on default security codes for all phones and get the code for your brand of mobile from there and type in. Your phone will be formatted.

The above procedure has deleted data from phone memory only. It is necessary to know that whenever the phone is infected, the virus infects the internal memory as well as the MMC (memory card). Hence you will have to format the memory card or scan it with an antivirus.

Is Nokia making a Nokia Android mobile phone? If yes when? Read further to know the relation between Nokia and Android! Every Nokia fan today wants to know why Nokia is not making and Android mobile phone or when will Nokia make a smartphone with android OS?
First of all, let me tell you that according to the latest leaks, Nokia is developing an android and will very well launch it soon. The name given to it is Android Normandy.  The codename given to it is Nokia X and it may launch in May 2014 if all goes well.

There may be many reasons behind Nokia not launching it up to now. Some of the reasons for Nokia not using the Android platform are explained.

Reasons for Nokia not making an android mobile phone:

1. Nokia bought by Microsoft: Nokia was bought by Microsoft, the maker of Windows OS in the year 2013. So Microsoft will want to promote its own OS rather than using a competitor’s OS. Why would the windows OS maker use a competitors operating system.
2. Nokia had its own OS: Nokia was using its own operating system i.e Symbian which flopped with time. Agreed, it was a hit till 2010, but with time it lost its colour. It was hated by the developers due to apps which they had to make for different models due to incompatibility. Nokia used many versions of symbian OS like symbian Belle, Anna, etc but failed miserably. Later Nokia launched handsets with Asha OS which still didn’t succeed. Nokia was too much dependent on Symbian and failed to develop a successful OS.
3. Migrating to Windows: Before the buyout of Nokia by Microsoft Nokia had preferred using windows OS and therefore made an agreement with Microsoft. Nokia had expected compete using its good image and brand name. Also with people not preferring Window operating System, the fortunes of Nokia also faded. Nokia, till recently also had never thought of at least trying to make a handset or two android as a trial.
4. Partnership with Microsoft: There was a business partnership contract signed between Nokia and Microsoft that may be restricting Nokia from using Android earlier. Microsoft had invested a huge amount in Nokia for promoting its own platform.
5. People preferring Android or iOS: All smartphone users either shifted to Android or Apple’s iOS. Nokia had a great fan following in the developing and under-developed markets, which gradually shrunk with the increasing number of people upgrading their phones to smartphones. Had, windows succeeded, the sales of Nokia handsets would have increased and Nokia would have held its position amongst the top manufacturers.

There are many more reasons other than the ones mentioned above. One more was the increasing number of people buying cheap Chinese handsets with Android which are still cheaper than many Nokias with Asha platform.

At one time Nokia was the No. 1 handset manufacturer in terms of sales. All Nokia fans are now waiting for the launch of Nokia Normandy which is sure to give its segment competitors a run for their money!

Note: The above article is for information purpose only. This is our view according to the information we have. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the above information and therefore we request you to clarify with official sources from Nokia and Microsoft. Sorry, at Microsoft only, as Nokia has been sold out!
