Music, memories and money. Your entire life is right there on your phone, easily accessible with just a few swipes. With three simple steps, we'll help you transfer your valuable information and memories, erase data and get that old phone ready to sell.
Think of all the music you've collected on your phone over the years. All those thousands of pictures and videos, your favorite games, the apps you can't live without, not to mention your contacts and emails. You've got a lot of data on your phone. Let's talk about relocating it, so it's ready and waiting to be transferred to your new phone.
Backing up
Backing up your LG G4 makes it possible to transfer your old data to your new phone
Before you start: Make sure to save and close your files before copying them from your phone to your computer
Backing up your data
• Navigate to the Home screen
• Select Apps > Settings > Backup & reset (make sure that the check box is enabled)
• Select Backup my data (make sure that the check box is enabled)
• Select the items that you want to back up
Now that you've completed the important step of backing up your data, it's time to disconnect your phone and make sure your account is paid off.
Make the call
Call your carrier and disconnect service to your old LG G4. Before you do, make sure:
• No time is left on your contract
• No fees will be charged if you cancel your account
• All bills have been paid
You're in the final stretch of getting your old iPhone ready to sell. You've backed up all the data you want to keep and called your carrier to disconnect your old phone. The last step is wiping the slate clean by resetting your old phone.
Ready. Set. Reset.
Your phone's Factory Data Reset is a tool used to remove everything that was imported, added or installed on the phone. Keep in mind: Everything will be deleted, so before you start the reset process, make sure you’ve backed up all data you want to keep.
• Turn the phone off
• Hold down both the Volume Down and Power buttons on the back on the device
• Once you see the LG logo on the front of the device, release the Power button for just a second
• Press down on both the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time
• Once the Factory data reset menu appears, use the Volume Up / Down buttons to select the appropriate option
• Use the Power button to confirm your selection:
• Select Yes to perform a master reset, Select No to cancel
Charge your phone
