By default, your Android smartphone does not back up the settings and other data. Therefore, after hard resetting your phone, you need to have lot of work to get things back. However, you can easily prepare your Android phone to backup all settings and other data automatically.
To enable automatic backup and restore option, simply press the Menu button from the Home screen, tap Settings, and then tap Privacy.
Make sure to enable the ‘Back Up My Data’ and ‘Automatic Restore’ options by tapping the respective checkboxes. The ‘Back Up My Data’ option will backs up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, bookmarks, and other settings to Google’s remote servers. Automatic Restore option lets the phone restore backed up settings whenever you reinstall an application.
