how often do you reset your smartphone?

Yup ^^^ Mine is powered off completely frequently but no good reason to wipe/reset unless there is something I can't fix any other way. Redoing accounts and such is too much of a pain not to mention 2FA!

I am an iPhone user now though so they won't let me fix anything anyway lol
 
Same here. I might occasionally re-install an app if it's behaving badly, but it's very rare that I get to thinking that a fresh OS install is going to be the answer. (It probably helps that I don't really use all that many third party apps on my phone(s) anyways.)

Same. Full reset prior to sale/trade in.

I do generally reboot it once a day or so and whenever landing in a different country, mostly in hopes to kill any errant memory/battery wasters and for the landings as I find sometimes a US/Mexican/International network doesn't seem to work well until a fresh reboot.
 
Generally uninstalling and reinstalling a mobile app doesn't help do much. All your doing is resetting the cache basically and that can be done in Android without the uninstall/reinstall. (Don't recall how Apple handles that).

Only time I even bother with a power cycle is if it is acting up in some weird way or or some kind of update force power cycles it.

most interesting. as much as I'd like to be able to buy a new phone whenever I want, I can't, so often need to do a refresh every now and then. I haven't done one with my P9PXL yet, but I had done several in teh 4 years I ran an LG Velvet 5G and every time I did it was amazingly fast and smooth. heck, the phone is almost 5 years old now and my brother-in-law is very impressed with how well it runs when there is little on it. I wiped it when I got the Pixel and installed stuff that had to do with turning it into a gaming / emulation station.

that said, I don't have a lot on the cloud, so no worries about a lot needing to download and synchronize.

It will be 1 year for the Pixel this December, so I plan on doing a wipe and see how much a performance difference there is form pre-wipe. I sorta also hope the battery life will get a bit better. I noticed issues after it upgraded to 15, but not enough to bother with a wipe, but it's gotten worse since updating to 16. with my daily use, which usually involves about 4 hours of stuff after work I would run down in the 50's and it would idle overnight and be in the low 50's when I woke. now I'm finding it in the 30's. it sits there for the day while I work and drops from 80% (I have that max battery saver 80% charge thing turned on) to high 60s when I start to wind down for the day. :P

@gingerbee no, it has nothing to do with the hundreds of apps I have installed, I swear it! :LOL:
