Hey guys well I got a lot of junk on my phone and I was wondering if I hard reset my phone will I have to reprogram it back to my # or as soon as it boots back up will I be good to go? And are there any bad side effects to it?thanks in advance
 
You'll be fine. The phone has an internet SIM card that Verizon is infamous about (to keep people from easily unlocking their phones or switching out phones with people) has all your information on it. The phone will go through the prompts like when you first got it and you'll start a new.

Your contacts will be saved with your Google Account and will be automatically Synced to your phone.

So happy trails with a 'fresh' new phone! But try not to keep reseting it. Eventually it can cause and full system crash and well.. bye bye Eris. :(
 
You shouldn't have to. I didn't when I last did it. But if problems accur, just call 'em up. Or head on over to your favorite Forum *cough* AndroidForums! *cough* :p
 
I'll save you some time..

Setting > Security > Factory Data Reset > Reset Phone

You'll lose your apps. So you might wanna write 'em down before-hand.
 
ok thanks thought there was a combination of buttons to press, but after i do that, i just add my gmail account and my contacts will get synced?
 
There are a combination you can use, but I don't recall it. lol

Yup. You have to have a Gmail account to use the phone to it's full protential.
 
Hmm, You may and may not get them when your phone is set back up. Not totally sure. Though it takes just a few minutes to do it, so you shouldn't miss a crap-load of messages. Unless you are a super-messager. lol
