Factory Reset

[droidX1991]

If I perform a factory reset, how would i get all my contacts and pictures back? I have heard that you use backup assistant but how does it work? Also, I use backup pro and I have saved everything to my SD card... Sorry if it is common sense to some, I am just new to android.

I have choppy signal everywhere and my phone can't seem to maintain a strong 3G signal.... I have read taht a factory reset could solve the problem.

AFAIK a factory reset should not format the SD card. Contacts can be backed up easily with the included Verizon app.

I just did it a couple of days ago, because of a problem adding a second gmail account, which it resolved.

The reset didn't touch the SD card at all. It was relatively painless, and I was able to restore all of my apps with AppBrain. Of course you do have to reenter all of your user ID's and Passwords, and Settings, and you will have to restore any Bluetooth pairing. I recommend that you backup up everything prior to doing it, just to be sure.

I was able to get all of apps installed within a couple of hours, and had all my home pages reorganized by the following day. I didn't notice any change in operation, except for the fix on the gmail thing.

try *228 first. option 2 might help.

Yeah factory reset didn't help my service much... Guess I'm going to have to wait for the local best buy to get shipments of the X for an exchange. Guy said it could take up to a week and a half =/
