My phone (Samsung Fascinate, 1 year old) has been acting very flakey lately. Battery life also isn't as good. Verizon person suggested a "factory reset" but I didn't want to lose all of my stuff! She backed up my contacts on the little card thingy, but I still didn't let her reset it yet. Do you lose EVERYTHING, including apps, notes, calendar stuff? Is there a way to save it all before you reset, then get it all back afterwards? I'm not that worried about the apps, as all of mine are free and I can easily download them again. Has anyone done a "factory reset" to their phone? Any advice would be appreciated.

Because that is the only job she can get?

(apologies to anyone who is an actual tech for Verizon...just couldn't let this one go. It was just TOOOO easy!!)

Uhh, did she call YOU for help or did you call HER? (No sweat Verizon techs- we know you gotta be smart to have your job. And this one was toooo easy!)

FF: Download this to back up all of your data first: https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... ckup&hl=en

Then you can do a factory reset. If you've set up a Google account you'll be able to restore your contacts and such later.

If you can't figure it out or need some help just stop up to the pressbox before the hockey game or text me. I'll be at the IA around 5:45, 6.

Downloading right now!! I'll be over there aroudn 6:30. If we don't have time to take care of this before, we can do it after the game, if you have time!!

THANKS, DREW!!!

Had a scary evening when I couldn't get my phone contacts and stuff back, but today my daughter figured it out for me and I have all of them back! YAY!!! Love these kids who were raised with technology!!
