    If I sell my Nexus, do I need to do a factory reset?

    Or is all of my information stored with the 4G sim card?

    You should always do a factory reset before selling any phone. There's no telling what data your apps have.

    it takes a half second to initiate a factory reset. why would there be any question in your mind about whether you should do it?

    I went into a local Verizon store to exchange my Galaxy Nexus due to an audio issue with it. I asked the guy if he should be doing a factory reset before he took the SIM card out and put it into the new phone and he said it wasn't necessary.

    Is that true? I'm a little worried now...
