Help Factory reset

If I do a factory reset on my FRF91 N1, will I drop back to Eclair, or will I be on Froyo with everything set to default?

Battery drain is killing me, I want to get this done before trying other directions.

No, I'm just hoping the factory reset would help my battery life. I was hoping it wouldn't reset back to 2.1, giving me a fresh install of 2.2.

You know, one other option is to load into recovery and clear cache.

See if that helps.

I've just reinstalled everything and signed in apps that need signing in. What would I lose from clearing the cache?

And if I've already done the factory reset, did the cache go with it?

If you already wiped, then no need to wipe cache.

I was just suggesting that you try wiping the cache before you try a full wipe.

When you wipe cache, you don't lose any data, but it may clear up some bugs, especially if you installed ROM updates and whatnot.

Every time I update or get an OTA, I clear cache to help keep it clean and fresh.

And how long is your battery lasting?

I have seen some reports that the JIT enabled in 2.2 increases battery drain but when I was running stock, I didn't really notice any difference between Eclair and Froyo. Drain was worse with Cyanogen's rom IMHO.

So what I am saying is try to identify settings and apps that could be the source of the drain - e.g. Browser settings for plug ins (Flash!) set to On Demand.

I am running Enomthers rom specifically as the battery life is much improved over stock and other custom roms I have tried.....may be an option for you, if interested in rooting in the future.

After the factory reset I saw a post about fixing the car dock volume, so I went ahead and rooted. Using CM6RC2 atm.

My battery life was as bad as 10% an hour. Right now I think our might be the constant switching between H and 3G. Couldn't tell it was doing this until I flashed CM.

Like I said, if battery life is important to you, try another ROM (you already have my recommendation), as CM does tend to eat battery a bit as it is more about performance. Also, try switching only to 3G (from 2G), when you need a fast data connection for surfing the web, downloading apps, etc.

3G connectivity burns battery badly, and this is where you may be losing out. Download 3g/2g toggle switch from the market.
