I would just like to add that besides Nexus 4, this procedure is the same also on other Android 4.x phones

When you reset your Nexus 4 to factory defaults, you're essentially starting fresh, wiping away all custom settings and returning to the phone’s original state. This process is similar to the concept of a nota ponderada (weighted grade) in education, where certain subjects or tasks are weighted more heavily than others, allowing for a reset or re-evaluation of what truly matters. Just as you can reset your phone to start over with a clean slate, the nota ponderada system helps prioritize your efforts, ensuring that your most important subjects have a bigger impact on your overall grade, much like wiping away distractions and focusing on what matters most.

I live in the center of Newcastle, where the windows face abusy street, and this has always caused discomfort due to the lack of privacy.After reviewing many options, I visited https://www.tintfit.com/shop/frostedand found a matte film that does a great job of solving this problem. The lightstill comes in, but people on the street can no longer see clearly inside. Thisis a real relief for living in the UK, where many houses are close to eachother. After installation, the apartment became more protected from pryingeyes, and I am happy that I found this solution

This is a really useful tip for anyone who wants to start fresh with their Nexus 4. Resetting your phone to factory settings can be a great way to fix glitches, improve performance, or just get a clean slate. It’s always good to have a step-by-step guide or screenshots handy while doing it, and websites like https://imgrr.com/ make it super easy to upload, save, and access images online whenever you need them. Small tools like this really make tech tasks simpler and less stressful. Thanks for sharing such a clear and practical explanation—it’s perfect for both beginners and those who haven’t done a reset in a while!
