The MDA Vario III is a smartphone manufactured for use with T-Mobile network. If the cell phone is freezing up or not working correctly, a soft reset can be performed. When performing a soft reset, all information that is not saved will be lost. If a soft reset does not work, if you wish to delete all saved information or if you wish to reset the phones settings to the factory settings, a hard reset should be performed. A hard reset will delete all of your saved information, including personal preferences, calendar and contact information.
