Re: Clear Storage vs Hard Reset

Quite right. There is 2 options in Clear Storage section, the factory settings option clear all user file, information and NVM. So u have to reactivate your phone, I think. The NVM clear may solve some phone problems caused by miss configed ##778 etc.

If you have one that you did a carrier conversion on the hard reset is ok but the clear storage will kill any NV settings you changed for the new carrier.
