How the duce do I do a factory restore?

---

Anyone got any idea how to restore this to factory OTB settings? I basically want to turn it on and see it as a new phone again and set it up all over again... I'm too new for android for the sales rep to throw me in it like a toddler at a public pool

Settings -> SD & Phone Storage -> Factory data reset

alright next question!

Is there a wiki that can teach me or introduce me to android in a simpler manner? Like how to become a power user with customization and such? I AM SO EXCITED =P

Hmm...

I think most of us have learned Android by trying everything until something breaks.

On just about every screen in every app, I try the menu button and try long-pressing things to see what type of context menus I get. If you don't do anything to root your phone (like using Visionary) then you really can't break anything.

For extreme customizations you would have to wait anyway since there aren't any custom ROMs our for mT4G yet. But, you can go as far as putting a different launcher onto the phone like Launcher Pro or ADW (but I really like the HTC Sense customizations so I'm sticking with stock on that one).

I think you've already found the best Android resource now that you are reading XDA. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you want - just try a search first so you don't get flamed. LOL

I also read the T-Mobile mT4G forum regularly but that generally covers the less sophisticated types of questions if you know what I mean.

Good luck and have fun!

I have a sanding vibrant which is much easier to use because it's on 2.1 as opposed to 2.2. I will trade it for your 4g if it's really driving u nuts. ; )

I've heard ADW - what is a custom launcher? can I use multiple or revert back to the original without many issues?

Also I'm a power google voice user (been using it since closed grand central beta) and power Google Sync user, when I'm first setting up this MT4G if I just put in my gmail account information in the default email will it setup a full ActiveSync/Push Calendar/contact/email setup or do I need to set it as an activesync/exchange like I did on the iphone for it to work properly?

IMO LauncherPro is the best launcher, it gives you a lot of cool customizations. And you can revert to the stock launcher at anytime.

If you log into your phone with your gmail account it will push/sync all your info.
