Pro tip: Wipe porn off your phone before exchanging it

OK, we’ve talked (several times) about how the Android phone is for porn. And we’ve talked about how during a full wipe on your Android phone doesn’t necessarily kill off every file that might have been downloaded. (And this gets even more murky with phones that have dedicated internal storage.)

Anyway, where we’re going with this is that if you’re sending back your a phone — be it for exchange, or repair, or whatever — don’t leave little pornographic surprises behind for the next person. ‘Cause that’s what happened to an Ann Arbor, Mich., woman who found either five (or a half-dozen, depending on who you ask) porn videos on her supposedly new Evo 4G. It’s not the phone’s fault — it’s the previous owner, and the third-party retailer that told the woman she was getting a new phone and instead gave her a steamy pot of porno.

And because we’re all about teaching you folks whenever we can, hit the source link or picture above to hear all about it, and then let’s discuss a few ways you can be sure to keep your phone clean, after the break. [Click on Detroit via Consumerist]
