Ok, I see that froyo is finally available for o2 uk, so going to make the change tomorrow.
Will it completely reset my phone back to default? Just concerned I will lose contacts and photos etc. I know kies can backup contacts, but does it work?
Will I lose the installed apps?
After the phone has updated, would I be best resetting back to factory defaults?
If so how do you factory reset?
I just want to get the performance from my phone. And am happy starting back from scratch (as long as I don't lose my contacts)
All advice is welcome!

you would be best backing up your contacts just incase.

*B U M P* I really need this.....
You might have to factory reset your phone. Back your apps up first using astro or similar. Make sure you've synchronized your contact lost etc too. Then it won't be too painful to set your phone back up.

Download the appropriate Desire HD RUU from this forum with your PC, connect phone to PC and run the RUU. This will reset your phone to factory fresh state.

a really strange thing happened to me....
i had to have a factory reset since the camera app just decided it didn't want to work properly. started with not playing back videos, then while recording videos it would just crash to home screen and in the end it just didn't start at all. lol
anyhow. i had the factory reset and everything went great. but i noticed that every app i had previously installed started coming up in the applications list. i only had to restore my contacts and the phone was just as before. even the wifi list was not cleared. i had every other wifi installed already..
another good thing that came out of this whole thing (well, the menu buttons still go off and on whenever they please...) is that the battery consumption is awesomely lower. i mean, i had to recharge the phone twice during the day, but now it stays on for about 24H even if i'm gaming on it for some time....
strange things....
oh, forgot to mention that it's a non rooted, stock rom carrier free phone
(i wish i could root it but it's all SO complicated and the risk of bricking it leaves me with stock apps like facebook/tweeter/stock market etc eating up the battery juice.... oh well)
sorry for the lengthy reply..
Cheers !!!
Yeah, your previously downloaded apps and some settings are stored in the cloud. If you don't want them back, during the initial setup, skip the Gmail account setup. Then open Gmail and add your account back. Your apps and settings should not be downloaded again.
The Apps and other things come back when syncing with your google Konto. Nice Feature BTW

Hey fellas
Since i flashed the new 2.1.B.0.1 FW the sync icon is always there even when the phone is not syncronizating. Any thoughts?
Thx

Nope, it's off for me and is off until I want to on it.
i heard that the same thing happened to some people with droid x when they used Titanium Backup and restored all apps + data.
It could be caused by a conflict with new data and old data with some apps like google calendar or contacts. Any chance that i got the same issue here?
Had a similar issue with the old firmware.for some reason the sync always on every time I had switched on my phone.you can try closing the sync under preferences->apps running (don't know how it is in English)and do a restart.

So when ics ota is avaliable on my phone, I'm going to update it. But I have one serious question: do I need to factory reset my phone? I heard that I don't need to but if I don't, my phone will get very sluggish because of the old os fragmentation or something... Is this true? Do you think I should erase all my data and apps to update? (ps. I'm not rooted) I actually have mybackup pro, but does that restore apps and data of the app? Some said that it does and some said it doesn't. I want to make sure.
Thanks so much.

If you have a locked bootloader and you have a straight stock GB rom, with the apps and so on you have downloaded from market, you should have no issues. All apps and data should still be there on ICS.
I highly doubt mybackuppro can backup all apps/data on a non-rooted phone, so i wouldn't rely on it.
Keep in mind however it is still a fairly large upgrade and it is ALWAYS best to backup the data you need most (SMSs, contacts (if not synced), photos, videos, music and so on), even it's on the SDCard. Also note that if your bootloader is locked (no padlock on boot) you don't have any option to do a full backup at all. Unlocking it will get rid of ALL personal data. Only way forward is through the update.
So let me get this straight...
I should factory reset my Nexus S and I don't need to worry about apps and data of the app because Google will do that for me? Well that's very convenient! And I don't really care about media cuz everything is on my computer which I can just copy it back to phone.
Thanks a lot man! Now I can rely on Google for all my apps ;-)

I get the feeling that's *not* what Harbb said
If I'm correct... Harbb is saying
1) you don't need to factory reset your phone
2) theoretically, your data and apps should be safe on your phone
3) but for safety, you should backup all your stuff
Sorry kyokeun, i forgot to say that you should NOT factory reset. kto_matchu hit the nail on the head.
Every flash has it's risks, even the most minor ones. Although nothing should go wrong for you, and i highly doubt it will, there is always a chance. For your situation though, the only way to get to ICS is to go through it without a full backup - however doing so definitely doesn't need a data/factory reset.
OK, thanks guys :-D

I did mine using the downloaded OTA, and it was fine. I am running a stock, non-rooted and non-unlocked NS. However, I did backup my "SDcard" contents, SMS's and call logs prior to the update. There were no issues at all with the update process.
OK thanks. My sms and contacts are backed up and all I'm worrying is just apps and data.
