Clearing Internal Storage

[slbailey1]

Will a hard reset clear the 4gb internal storage?

[Mr. X]

no it will not

I have tried it first hand and I can say negative sir.

thanks, this is the first piece of info that makes me possibly want this instead of the pro.

What difference would that make? A hard reset on the Pro isn't going to clear a memory card (the equivalent to the internal memory) either.

Actually, the answer is maybe. If you do it through the system settings you can "Clear storage only", "Format internal storage only", or a choice for both.

BTW following the instructions for a hard reset in the manual for the Sprint Diamond don't work. Tried a few times.

there are a few apps I use that I could install onto the card, or have them store data on the card. however I have not done any of this for a long time, due to my constant card swapping. (kinda like installing to extrom, but with lots more space.)

also hoping bluetooth file servers start coming out (external drive with built in bluetooth) and yes, I know you can get wifi ones, but wifi's too power hungry.
anyway, sorry to get off topic, but I'm glad the 4gb survives hard-reset

Use the Power + Vol Down + Enter when restarting. The manual doesn't mention the Power button. HTC insists that's it's not required. But as one of the first people I know of to lock up their Diamond, I learned this early.

And the answer isn't "maybe" (IMHO), since that's not a hard reset. That's "running the Clear Memory program".

The reason I'm asking is that I use SpbBackup to do backups of my phone to my SDCard. Now if I get the Diamond, I will have to do the backups to internal Storage. I do not want a hard reset to clear the internal storage.

You know you have a major problem like me when you go to clear storage and to format internal storage only and it says The Mass Storage cannot be accessed. Still awaiting fix for this problem
