My question is do I need to do a factory reset? My 2.3.3 upgrade went pretty well. No big issues. Should I do a factory reset anyway, to really clean the phone out?

Unless something is broke, why try to fix it ... It *could* cause problems. I'd just leave it alone if I were you ... that's what I did ...  not what Wildman did though ...   :smileywink:

If you are not see ing force close issues or any other issue, it is probably best to leave it alone.  However if you start seeing problem you know wher to find the steps. :smileywink:

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I agree if you have did update and isnt having any issues there isnt any reason to reset.  If issues show up then I would concider doing one..

me neither ... I did a "CLEAR SYSTEM CACHE" just for the heck of it the other day, and it hosed over 1 of my SWYPE options that I can't get back.    So, yes, what Wildman said and I previously suggested.

Cody I forgot to point that out, that clearing cache sometime can cause issues like that, if you have a backup app you can restore the settings for swype to fix the issue because I have to do this any time I do a cache cleaning of device...

 

This is one of the downfalls to clearing cache it clears data for several apps not just one most of the time..
