How to Hard Reset — Bird S199
The Bird S199 is a 2005 device. It features a CSTN, Mono, 112.0x64.0 display and is available in Silver, Black.
The S199 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion battery. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 75 g.
Hard Reset on the Bird S199 works differently than it does on Android, since this phone uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.
On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.
Bird S199 is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone
The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below
If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
