For Android phones, you can do a factory reset, then immediately open an ADB shell and use dd to create a big file that overwrites all free space. That will stop wannabe hackers and some advanced users, but Flash memory is almost impossible to sanitize correctly (and certainly not through overwriting, which is almost never done in place), so if you need 100% assurance, physical destruction is the only way. A high-power blender or incineration should do the trick.

If you take this path and the phone's battery is replaceable (or can be forcibly removed), don't be a moron, take it off and dispose of it in a recycling plant or similar.

Google records everything with android, and yes Apple allows you to turn cloud off, but not sure if that is everything. Going old-school and pre-smartphone is probably best, though maybe a smartphone with a custom built ROM could do. Then an app with end-to-end encryption so noone can evesdrop.

laptop fixed by the normal method "have you tried turning it off and on again"

My first cellphone did fit in my pocket, it was on the analogue network and you had to remove the battery (which was thicker than the rest of the phone) to charge it but a lot smaller than those portable units

I only use pay phones but the problem is I have to walk eight miles to now find one.

Probably just give up at some point and go back to carrier pigeons. They're pretty cost effective and dependable if you don't count storms, overseas calls and falcons.

I don't think I was; the earliest mobile phone I recall seeing in 3D was the Motorola Tango :happy:

I did have a Motorola V3 Razr ten years ago which I liked a lot, to the point of building my own custom firmware for it. But nowadays I think good reception and long battery life are far more valuable than a camera, color screen or Internet access, and the Snowden leaks, baseband exploits, ADUPS, Motorola Blur, etc. only reassured my decision. The aforementioned Nokia 1100 delivers, so if you're going to use a mobile phone at all, I'd recommend that or a similar model.

PS: one-way pagers cannot be traced :whistling

It doesn't bother me one bit. I find myself to be the only one not staring at a cellphone where ever I am. Last Monday when I had jury duty, I was the only person that was not sitting there staring at their cellphone the whole time. There was a TV with daytime talk shows on (no other channels available). I sat there and listened to music on my Zune HD. I would get up every 45-60 minutes and walk around. The jury room had a separate area with vending machines and bathrooms.

In the UK a lot of villages are losing their payphones because not enough use to justify the rental/upkeep. So a long way to walk to find one!

Not the easiest but the most effective way to destroy a mobile phone is to travel back in time and kill it's mother.

Normally this would seriously impact the time space continuum so that none of the phones descendents could in turn ever do any good but since they too would be mobile phones there is little to no chance of that.

Now going back a bit but did you ever do that stick a wad of paper up the coin return slot and next day to school remove it to get all those 10P`s as some design error had that going on :D

Also I may have used to ring free phone numbers on my way to school and leave `em off the hook just for fun, Roland Rat had an 0800 for some reason but can`t recall the exact details on that one.

drop it in a toilet as that tends to destroy most phones and then cook it in the oven for a hour. that should kill it dead!

Pull the SIMS card and destroy that separately (in case messages to/from Brady left on the carrier's server). Take a sledgehammer to the chip until it's broken into several pieces. Do the same with the phone. Gather up the pieces and divide them into ten piles.

[johnsmith9200]

What is the simplest way to destroy a mobile phone so that no information can be recovered from it? Simplest? Throw on driveway until it's in pieces. Throw pieces until they're little pieces.

[IT4INT]

Least complex? Toss on garage until it's in pieces. Toss pieces until they're little pieces. Dissipate pieces into discrete junk jars.

Different alternatives:

Purchase muriatic corrosive from the handyman shop. Absorb telephone it.

Put on flame broil. Cook for a few hours.

Put in stove. Heat for a few hours.

Put in profound fryer. Broil for a few hours.

Get a decent blaze moving… toast telephone alongside marshmallows.

Telephone Baseball.

Telephone Golf

Drop in profound sea water.

Tape to vehicle tire - go for a drive.

Place telephone into fluid cement. Hold up 24 - 48 hours until it has completely set.

This is fun!

Interesting fact- the US government has protocols for this and PC/laptop destruction as well. When a few years back China grabbed a US spy plane, the crew on board activated these protocols to destroy the onboard systems- like smashing the HDD platers.

But for the plebs, the government wants you to follow BAD advice.

1) Been using the phone as a phone? it's too late, your info was always being recorded on the networks you connected to. If they REALLY care about you, the NSA has all your details. A 'lesser' person of interest, and lower authorities still have access to all your messages, and location details (if your phone has power, GPS or no GPS, SIM or no-SIM, the phone location is tracked to within a meter every few seconds).

2) If you are a person of no interest, simply wanting no-one to have access to your piccys etc, then it's the chips on the circuit board you want to destroy. The US military use a hammer and a hard metal surface- so should you. A hammer blow should split open the phone, revealing the obvious circuit boards. Outside, wearing googles and probably a mask, pound all visible chips into somethiong like dust. That's the NSA protocol, and the military protocol. Anything less (like fire or microwave nonsense) would allow someone to remove the flash chip (memory), put it on a clean circuit board, and recover your data.

PS for many years, online NSA shills told the hard-of-thinking that erasing files on a HDD was a waste of time, cos the NSA had a 'magic' method for recovering magnetic data from the platter, and that because the heads don't have perfect alignment, your erase action left a circle of recording untouched.

This was an utter lie (think about it- if erasing by overwriting doesn't delete data, the capacity of your HDD has effectively DOUBLED. Erase again, and the capacity would have TRIPLED). The NSA actually paid PC utils companies to have delete functions that did not use data over-writing by default- cos that way the delete would happen hundreds of times faster (and the authorities could recover deleted data).

When Hilary Clinton erased her illegal server, her people went to the best, and used NSA protocol over-writing methods - the same method the NSA had shills in forums like this one tell you were a 'waste of time'.

Do NOT burn your phone, microwave it or drop it in water. None of these methods destroy the flash chips. Only the hammer method, as mandated by all high level US goverment security depts, gets the job done.

That's news to me. It seems a bit silly considering the NSA themselves publicly approved the ATA Secure Erase command, built-in to all mechanical hard disks made after 2001, and use it to delete their stuff. This feature does a single overwrite pass and that's all you need to permanently delete data.

https://tinyapps.org/docs/recovering_data_from_zero_filled_hard_drive.html

However, mobile phones use flash storage (the same kind used by SSDs and USB sticks), and sanitizing that is far from a solved problem, with no true solution at the moment. As you correctly pointed out, proper physical destruction is the only way. dd, cat /dev/urandom > file.bin, shred at al. are a compromise.

Good post, by the way. Looks like you're the only NZB downloader who hasn't turned to spam in these last few days. :)

When I see 'destroy it with fire', I think of blowtorch. Would that not be sufficient? I physically destroyed a HDD from my first PC (this was a few years after its lifecycle was complete) due to concerns of old credit card info and other information that would have been long-forgotten/not realized would have been collected. And I have to say that damaging a HDD is *a lot* more work than one would think. I smashed, bent, scratched, dismantled, and swore at the thing for quite a while. That was after formatting and overwriting... :01:
