    Default what to do before selling phone?

    it's deactivated already, but what about my personal data? I have it backed up to my PC already, and clicked factory reset, but it still left behind some of my photos and music, what other stuff should I do to ensure it's cleaned?

    Any photos, music, etc.. Just delete them off your sdcard or internal storage...

    Factory wipe should of taken care of the rest... Just make sure you delete out and make sure your contacts aren't syncing back into the phone so thats clean too...

    +1 to the last comment. If you are signing into your google account after factory reset, you are going to end up syncing all of your data from your google account back to the phone.
