Nexus Post on Facebook recommends resetting phone after update.

[Captainbob767]

I just read this , this morning on the Nexus Facebook page.

Important note for all Google Nexus 4 users who updated to Android 4.3 (Just an recommendation not mandatory)

Its highly recommended that you must Factory reset* your Google Nexus 4 after every major update (This will fix all miscellaneous bugs and improper behavior including battery life )

"So you have no bugs or improper behavior after Android 4.3 upgrade ? Then also it's recommended

To reset your Nexus 4 to factory settings, please follow these steps:

*Warning: By performing a factory data reset, all data will be wiped from the device. While any data stored in your Google Account will be restored, all apps and their associated data will be uninstalled.(Take back up of all your important data because it will make your phone like new)

Go to Settings > Backup & reset.
Touch Factory data reset.
Touch Reset phone.
If your phone is password protected, you'll be prompted to enter your Pattern, PIN, or Password.
Touch Erase everything to confirm. (Comment Done if you did factory reset) "

I don't know about you, but my phone is working fine, and I don't think I want to go though this hassle of having to reinstall all my apps and lose all my data.

apple says to do the same thing with updates. If you are not having any problems, I would not restore my phone. It is just something they say as a recommendation. If you have a problem and called that would be their first suggestion.

Agreed. It's a recommendation, especially if you are having problems, but not something I would do on a whim if your phone is working fine.

Also, I doubt this is an official Google FB page. I see nothing on it indicating it's so. It looks more like a dedicated fan page, so don't assume anything posted there comes direct from Google. For that, check the official blogs (like the Android blog) or their respective G+ pages (like their official one).

I actually did a factory reset before I preformed the update. I wonder if that gets the same results?
