Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.
How long does a factory reset take on the Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Does the Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 lock to an account after a reset?
Usually not — Factory Reset Protection (FRP) and Activation Lock are Android and iOS features. Most other platforms, including this device's, don't add an account lock after a reset.
How do I format my Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
Can I factory reset my Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 without the password?
Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.
How do I reset my Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Samsung Ativ Odyssey I930 is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
