How do you restore iphone as a new phone?

Hi there,
How do you restore iphone as a new phone? Actually, I know how to restore it but I'm not sure how to get the files back on after... I don't really understand how this will be any different from just restoring from a backup if I'm just going to put the content on later anyways.
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated!
The reason I'm asking about this is because my battery life on my 4S is soooo bad!

Ah. So, the reason it'll help to use as new device is because typically the app data is not the issue. It's a corrupt system file. So using new device takes away any corrupt system files and almost always solves most any issue. However it does cause the pain of having to add everything back. I've done this in cases where restoring from backup just didn't solve my issue. It ***** but is sometimes needed.

How do you restore icloud data to new phone

I have just gotten a replacement phone and I think I correctly saved my data on icloud. Now I want to restore it on the new phone. I can't seem to figure out how to do it . Please help.

If the phone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Make sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

How do you restore iphone 4s when you forget restriction password, how do you restore iphone 4s when you forget restriction password

i lost internet on my phone and the only way to get it back is to restore the phone the only problem is there is the restriction password on there and i have no idea what it is. so how can i restore it without that password and no itunes

You will need to get access to some computer running iTunes to restore the iPhone. There is no way to restore the iPhone otherwise, with or without a restrictions password. To remove the restrictions passcode, restore the iPhone to factory settings, which will delete all your data and documents. You can then sync back or re-download your apps, music, movies, etc.

Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. When you start to set up, then restore to the iCloud backup.

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

You can only edit the content of the chromeappsstore.sqlite file with an SQLIte manager like this Firefox extension:
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# open Profile Directory -> chromeappsstore.sqlite -> Go
# open Table > webappsstore2
# select the "Browse & Search" tab to see all entries in that table
You can select the "batwen.:about" "blockedLinks" line and click the Delete button on the toolbar to remove that record and reset the deleted sites.

How do you restore your iPhone without deleting all your apps?

Ok so I'm trying to remove Cydia from my iPhone 4, and I wanted to make sure it's fully removed. I managed to delete the app straight from my iPhone by force deleting the Cydia Installer package, and the icon is totally gone my iPhone. I deleted it because the jailbreak is eating up my battery. However, I don't think the jailbreak is completely removed.
Question: How do you restore your iPhone from iTunes without deleting all your apps and everything from your iPhone? Like when I click restore it says it will delete it and you will have to repurchase your apps. I have tons of apps and I don't want to spend my money for the same thing twice! I want to know how (step-by-step) to back up and restore your iPhone without it messing with any of the photos, apps, etc.
Also, will updating your firmware to 4.1 wipe out the jailbreak?
Thanks a ton.

How do I know if it's on my computer?
If you bought the apps via iTunes, they will be on your computer. If you bought them with the iPhone, syncing would have transferred them. Look for them in:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications
Photos taken with the iPhone are transferred via iPhoto or Image Capture when the phone is connected to the computer. Other photos on the phone must have been synched from the computer, so should still be there.
