iPhone 4 Reset Settings Question

beerjjj · Mar 29, 2011

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone could answer a question around the reset functions in the settings menu?

Reset All Settings - Does this reset all the different sections detailed below with the exception of the Contents & Settings?
Erase All Content & Settings - What data is deleted whilst using this setting?
Reset Network Settings - I'm using a valid sim card but if I use this setting what does it actually reset?

Thanks in advance all.

Reset All Settings means

If you choose “Erase All Content and Settings” you will return to the iPhone’s settings to their factory state, you will also erase all of the music, email, apps, calendar info, and other data from the phone.

If you choose “Reset Settings”, you will simply return the phone’s preferences and settings to their factory-original state. You will not be able to delete your data.

If you choose “Reset Network Settings”, you will erase whatever current network connection you may have on the iPhone. Then the device will create a brand new connection. Your files won’t be erased when you perform this activity on iPhone.
