idk for the eris but a hard reset is just erasing any user data - and you shouldnt have to reprogram it maybe just go thru the intros n things again

I actually just did the same thing to my phone. Go to Settings > Security > Factory Reset. I formated the SD card before doing this too to clear off everything. Its is just like turning on your phone for the first time again. You will have to reprgram your phone after the hard reset. But you can do this by dialing *228 and using option 1. Just make sure your contacts are all synced to google and you may want to write down your apps cause I have been using appbrain and none of my apps are there.

But after the reset my phone seems to be working a lot smoother. I also stopped using Advanced Task Killer. This I found out made my phone run horribly.
