Data Solution for Mobile
Memory storage differs depending on the type of device. iOS based smartphones and tablets store the information in the internal memory of the actual device or possibly via iTunes or iCloud. Accessing the internal memory of an iPhone is difficult to do and probably beyond the capability of most users. iPhones do not support SIM cards and Micro SD memory readers are useless. Furthermore, up to and including iPhone 4, although it was difficult to do, it was possible to switch the device into maintenance mode and read the memory with bespoke software. With the advent of iPhone 5, it is only possible to access the memory with special, non-commercially available tools. In contrast Android phones have three different storage solutions; internal memory; SD card slot and SIM, depending on the type of data and availability of memory.

In terms of prevention, users should back-up data regularly wherever possible so that, in the event of a malfunction, information can be retrieved easily. If you data is not backed-up and you are fairly technically savy you might be able to retrieve your data by reading the internal memory using commercially available software; but be warned if you don't know what you are doing you can cause further serious damage.
Ontrack EasyRecovery is one such piece of software; a complete data recovery software solution that enables the recovery of deleted and damaged files and can recover from all types of data storage media. Information is downloaded from the mobile device to a PC using a USB cable.

Ontrack EasyRecovery also enables hard drive monitoring which provides an insight into the health of your hard drive.
