How to Reset an Android Ascend
Perform a factory reset on your Huawei Ascend phone to restore it to the original manufacturer settings. This process can also be useful if you are planning to sell or trade in the Ascend, as it completely erases all of your user data including contact lists, notes and calendar entries. Protecting sensitive data with a factory reset can be especially important for businesses that distribute Huawei Ascend phones to employees.
