Does a hard reset wipe out the SD card?

[WBFAir]

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if when you do a device hard reset does it erase all the info on the SD storage card too?

Mostly why I'm asking this is, I am thinking of getting one of those remote wipe out programs and I am assuming that for the wipe out part of it, it basically does a hard reset.

So I'm just wondering if I have any info on the SD card, if this will get wiped out too.

Just to mention, I'm hoping it will.

Thanks

the stock, built-in hard reset does not wipe the SD card. the software you buy might, though.

Oh Ok so I should look for one that does.

Does anyone know of any that do this?

Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't even bother trying to find software to do this.

The built in hard reset will do everything you need to do if you just want to wipe the phone clean.

Yeah, if this thing is ever lost or stolen:

One: I would want to be able to remotely wipe any info from the device and the card or at least make the entire device not operable.

Two: If the device could be made inoperable, I would also want to be sure the card is also in the case if it was ever removed and say put in a reader.

Third: Again if the device and the card were made inoperable, I would want to be able to track the device via GPS.

Lastly: If non of the above were possible, basically I would want to be able to remotely brick the device.

I believe Sprite does all this... NOT sure about bricking but at least all your data is wiped.

That looks pretty nice, I like the idea of locating the device remotely via a web browser.

Don't know if I would want to set off a siren though, I think I would rather just find the person who stole my device, get it back, then make them in-operable.

Seriously though, darren, is this program possible to get without all that other stuff as I kinda have things I have bought for that?

As well, does that part where it remotely wipes out all the data work for the SD card too? (sorry, posted this before I read the above)

Lastly if that part of the program that wipes out all the data is enacted, is it still possible after to still find the device via a web browser or no?

Thanks.
