Factory Reset Tips

[PurpleSunday]

My phone keeps defaulting to speaker when I make or receive calls. I haven't done a reset for a while so I guess I should try that.

Any suggestions for how to save some steps in getting things back to normal afterwards? I saved my Apex settings so hopefully my screens and dock will come back the way I had them. All my contacts and calendar are on Google. I read something about moving apps to the sd card. I've checked a few of mine and so far they're on the card. Is there a way to do that all at once instead of one app at a time? Any other tips?

And yes, I already know to reset twice then clear cache.

Take screen shots of your home pages. Widgets don't automatically get restored on your home screen but have to be replaced manually..Screen shot pics help. This thread may help give you some ideas when backing up and restoring before doing an fdr see: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-help/219101-getting-most-success-upgrading-ics-gb.html

Thanks! I just stumbled across another thread where you posted that link.

Any way to backup smart actions?

Oh boy, I think mybackup may but I don't know how well because I never restored the settings for that app. I only use battery extender for smart actions so it is very easy to just re-activate it.

I also copy my internal & external sdcard onto my pc. Sometimes complicated settings for some apps are stored in the sdcard and I can put the app folder back on the sdcard and I get my settings back. Not sure about smart actions though.
