You can retrieve it by pressing the key combination *#06#.
Android users should always install an antivirus app.
Do not send sensitive data via free WLAN.
Charge quickly
The battery level should not fall below 30 percent. Remove the smartphone from the charging station when it reaches around 80 percent. The battery will last longer if you reduce the display brightness and close all unused apps. Incidentally, the device charges twice as fast in flight mode than in online mode.
Keep it clean properly
According to a Bitcom survey, only one in four cell phone owners regularly wipe their display. This is where many germs collect, especially during the cold season. It is best to clean it once a week with a special cleaner.
Delete data
On the iPhone: tap "Settings", "General", "Reset", "Delete content & settings" in succession.
On Android: "Settings", "Security", "Encrypt phone" and "Backup & reset".
