Personal details of 500 million Android users at risk: Researchers find it is impossible to completely clear data from handset when changing phone

- Emails, texts, pictures, videos and apps can all be accessed after full wipe
- Up to 630million phones don't wipe internal SD cards when phone is reset
- Researchers say the issue may limit growth in the phone and app market
This research was confirmed and the only way to safely dispose of Android devices is to SHRED them. You cannot sell them, give them away, or donate them without providing vital personal information such as passwords or other ID data. The majority of Android devices did not wipe the internal memories at all. . . nor did the ones that did erase the internal memories erase them with industrial/military strength overwriting. They merely reset catalogue pointers so that the data was still present in the "reset" or "erased" device.
This problem will not be solved for all older Android devices either because the manufacturers and carriers have no particular interest or benefit to push out an update to fix it.
