I did a hard reset on my Droid after futzing around with one app too many. Removed the SD card first. Did the reset via the menu: Settings >> Privacy >> Factory Data Reset. The automated reactivation took less than 2-3 minutes, and all the Google stuff flowed back in as expected once I signed in.
The shocker? When I went to the My Downloads area of the Market, I noticed that quite a few of the apps were marked "Installed". Sure enough, when I checked the Droid, they were there in the Apps screen...and functioning! It could not have been My Backup Pro, cause I hadn't reloaded that one at the time.
Could it be that this is one of the quiet thrills of the Droid, or version 2x?? Or maybe, when I reinserted the SD card, some apps were intelligent enough to reload themselves? (I recall when I did a factory reset of the MyTouch months ago, **I** had to reinstall EVERYthing.) Whatever, sure is making my return-to-where-I-was life MUCH easier than anticipated!
Bonus: 3G reception was ok before, now that sucka is kicking it thru the roof!! Shoulda done a factory reset sooner.
