Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Samsung i900 Omnia?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Samsung i900 Omnia to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Samsung i900 Omnia 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 i900 Omnia?

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 i900 Omnia 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 reset my Samsung i900 Omnia?

Use the Hard Reset method above if your Samsung i900 Omnia 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.

Can I factory reset my Samsung i900 Omnia without the password?

Yes — the reset methods above don't require your lock screen password, since they bypass the normal login screen entirely.

Does my Samsung i900 Omnia have a hard reset button?

Not a single dedicated button — the Samsung i900 Omnia uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
