Why reset your Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 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 Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004?
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 Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 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.
Can I factory reset my Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 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 Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004?
Use the Factory Reset method above — the Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
Does my Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 have a hard reset button?
No — the Sony Ericsson BRAVIA S004 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
