give to someone else with no data in it.

any possible software issue you might be experiencing with your Gionee F205 or
other similar android devices that the quick fixing guide for issues like camera, Bluetooth, SIM, Wi-Fi, YouTube or other malfunction could solve. But if you have tried that already and it
failed then, you should probably opt-in for formatting in this case I will show
