Factory Restore before accepting update...

Yeah, I think it is a good idea.

Fortunately, I'm at home this week, so Thursday night just before I crash for the night, I plan to restore the phone to its original out of the box state before I do the update. Although I'm one of the hated group of people that has NEVER had a problem with an update, but just to be safe and set a good example for the kids watching at home.. :smileyhappy:

I would agree that this is the wises decision to minimize issues before hand... I am backing up my data now so if it does hit I will be ready..

I don't see a need for that. I've never had a problem receiving an OTA update.

As of now, I don't want the update anyway. I've read about things not working for multiple people using the leaked version. I'll way until the offical release and see what others have to say before I switch. My X is working exactly the way I want right now I'd hate to update and lose functionality until another fix comes along.

Some dont have issues afer update but from results from Froyo update seem to prove that most issues a user has with device after updating usually came from unsupported apps or setting that carried over from previos OS... Best solution is to cut off the possible issue before starting, but each to its own.

And as for problem with apps with leak build was usually from unsupported apps because developers havent really made a number of apps GB capatible because only a small hand full of devices has the update but I only had a few apps not work and after a message to developer I was back up without issues.

Does anyone know what will happen if we're running a launcher? I have both Launcher Pro and ADW. Will our home screens be reset and lose where our icons are and have to redo everything again?

So, Cody, was I wrong to make the initial post and express my view on this matter?

And you obviously missed my statement about never having problems with an update of any kind...

And by the way, Cody, I see no "debate" here.

The task-killer subject...now THAT'S a debate. But this....please....

-------------------------------------------------------

gerio - I only came into this "discussion" 7 deep into it and was only expressing my opinion, like the others before me.

I think there are 2 camps in this discussion; those who firmly believe you should RESET-before-updating, and those that don't believe that. I just happen to be in the latter group as expressed in my opinions above. I see WHY some prefer to do so, but it just seems like a lot of work (for some people - especialy for the less-tech-savy ones here) if there are no problems with the update. I value/respect your opinion.

take care.

Well, as for problems with the update, we will certainly know in a little while, eh?.. :smileyhappy:

I understand and agree that the extra work may not be needed especially for "Less Tech-Savy Users" but from what I have learned that the extra work can be worth it because it beats having a user load the device and complain about issues for weeks because they refused to acknowledge a reset as a solution.

My thought is if I can isolate possible issues before hand it is best to go that direction... Oh well time will tell.. :smileyhappy:

Will there a full day before the complainers begin?

Wildman

Do you expect that long? :smileywink: :smileyvery-happy:
