Iphone 4 reset question

Every now and then I like to start over and factory reset a device and start over. I a noticing lots of people saying that IOS7 is really bad.
Now I am having no issues but on the odd occasion there is some lag, overall though I am very happy.
My question mainly is to find out the difference between two actions.
If I were to factory reset and start over I am sure I would notice an increase in some speed, but what is the difference between that and say reset device and then after restore from Icloud? Would I notice an increase with the restore as well? Would I be better of resetting and redownloading some apps etc (doing some spring cleaning in the process) or would a reset and restore practically be a reset but with the luxury of having my data again? Would I gain performance in much the same way as a reset and wipe all data?
I notice there is some considerable space under "other" in Itunes when looking at the device, would this go after reset? (I guess this could be when I did an OTA update on the device ages ago but not certain)

Well I did a reset and restore  using the restore option in ITunes. When a clean IOS installed it then prompted if I wanted to restore data from ICloud or Itunes backup. I chose ITunes back as this would be slightly faster route.
Ive gotta say this phone now has a new lease of life and is so snappy! The "Other" data reduced from 1.2gb to 537mb so happier in that respect, still sounds quite high. Annoying really as I have only an 8gb model!

  • My Apple ID asks for answers to security questions which I never input. I have searched how to reset my security questions and have found that the option below where your answers are to be input to reset questions does not exist on my iPhone 5c

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Does restoring the iPhone reset the call time usage?

    Mine seems to have done, and now I find it hard to know how much time I have used. One other thing, will this automatically reset at the start of a new contract month when your minutes gets renewed? Thanks

    Wasn't the question "does restoring the iPhone reset the call time usage?"

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • Encryption algrothim used for Password reset question and answer

    We are trying to write a custom interface to the Password reset service.
    The interface is supposed to allow the user to enter a question and answer, then using SAM SDK write the value to the iplanet-am-user-password-reset-question-answer.
    The problem is SAM saves the values encrypted, so do any one know the encryption algorithm used and what is key or they are specified.
    Thnaks

    Only you and Apple know your secret question.  See if changing the password via email will allow access to your account.. Then you can chnag yur secret question. See:

    My iPhone reset itself and is now asking me to reconfigure it. I connected it to my computer to do it on iTunes, but it says that it can't... It went back to the configure screen as it was when I first got it but I've had this phone for about half a year. It was fully functional until about yesterday. Someone help.

  • IPhone resets back to wallpaper randomly when I touch it.

    the iPhone resets when to the wallpaper slider screen when i touch it at times. also, if i have the phone open and i try to raise or lower the volume, it resets as well.

    I've had the latest software since it was released a few weeks back, but it only started yesterday. I did load a new app and it started after that, but i've deleted the app and reloaded my software to no avail.

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions.

  • Hard Reset Question on 2G iPhone

    Has anyone done a hard reset with totally skipping the "slide to power off"? It happened to me today.
    My 2G iPhone was acting wierd and not letting me unlock. It was responding to me tapping on numbers, but the 4 spaces for the password were staying blank. So I did a hard reset (holding lock/home till apple logo appears). I was holding for like 8-10 secs, I then see fading horizontal lines, which then brings up the apple logo.
    So 2 questions:
    Has anyone skipped the "slide to power off"?
    The fading horizontal lines, is this normal?

    Yes, a "reset" of the iPhone is where you hold the sleep/wake and home buttons for ~10 seconds, ignoring the slide to power off prompt, and keep holding until the Apple logo appears. That's normal (and in fact, not a bad idea to do once in a while, as it clears out the caches and corrects problems with crashing apps).
