In case you were wondering, here’s how to hard-reset (a.k.a. factory reset) the Nexus One from HTC and Google:
- With the phone off, hold the Volume Down button and press and release the Power button.
- You’ll boot into the menu you see above with the little skateboard guys. Select Clear Storage from the list by pressing the Volume Down button.
- Press the Power button, and confirm by pressing Volume Up.
- Sit back while your phone reboots in its virgin state.

I’m in the process of writing the Droid Pocket Guide and looking for input from you.
If you have any interesting Android/Droid stuff that you come across in your travels, please post it in the comments below or Tweet it to @jasonogrady.
I’m specifically interested in things that Android can do that the iPhone can’t (i.e. multi-processing, background apps, open platform, etc.), and:
- Augmented reality apps
- Innovative HTML5 web apps
- Geo-location apps
- Cool widgets
- Android Market – picks/disses/comedy/faults
- Tricks to do with the Droid’d 480 x 854 pixel, WVGA screen
I’m also interested in interesting Android roots, hacks and mods — although not specifically for the book, more on a person level.

(Don’t ya just love headlines that start like that?)
If you liked my earlier post (actually link to a post) on linkbaiting you’ll love “Andy Hagans’ Ultimate Guide to Linkbaiting and Social Media Marketing.” It’s a must read for people that are into such things and it’s written by the guy who wrote the book on the topic.
While we’re at it, there are “over 100 SEO factors” that Google uses to rank pages in the Google search results (SERPs) and this site tracks them.
