I also have to ask why you aren't rooted. It is a great way to be.

1. You are going to lose app info pretty much NMW. You could root and use A2SD2 then it wouldn't delete them, but it would also defeat your purpose of Hard Resetting. Most stuff will come back when you sign into Google. You will lose your playlists, if you use your hero as a Media Player.

2. You can save a scene, but I have no idea where it goes, so you wouldn't be able to use that. There is a way to get screenshots without being rooted, check my sig, I think I linked it in the Tips Thread. I, again, suggest rooting and using a screencap app though.

3. This is what I was trying to answer in my previous post. gangmobb may be on to something, I don't back up sms and I have never had this problem. I just noticed Lookout was on your device. I have heard of some lag with this app, I know it is a great app for what it does, but wavesecure does most of the same for free right now. Try removing that and see what happens.

Other than that I have no idea what would be causing this. I still suggest rooting and going fresh to see if that helps, and removing Lookout until its lag is fixed.
