My Razr Maxx HD and my wife's Razr HD both seem to suffering from increased battery usage since the KitKat upgrade. My wife is not too happy with me anyway for upgrading her phone since she was perfectly happy with it, and now she's lost a few things she liked.
So I'm thinking I should do a factory data reset on my phone first (then I'll do the wife's after I figure out if it helps on mine), but hate to start over getting my phone back to the way I now have it setup. I noticed in Settings, Backup & Reset, there is a "Back up my data" option. Does anyone know what is backed up in this option?
If I remember correctly, Gmail will save my contacts and reinstall them when I log back in after a reset. Is this correct? Will it also remember the apps I have installed, or do I need to make a list so I can reinstall them after the reset.
I have lots of photos of my grandkids texted to me by my family members, and I've already gone through those texts and saved the photos I want to keep to the SD card. I'm going to go through my files in file explorer and make sure there aren't any photos still in the phones storage that would be lost.
I'd appreciate any help and advice in making sure I've backed up settings, contacts, apps, etc. before doing the reset. I'm sure I'll forget something I can't recover after doing the reset.
