Do you do a factory restore after major updates on smart phones?

I usually don't but after I update my note 3 to kitkat, my battery life went to shite and I noticed quite a bit more lag in the phone.

I did a factory reset yesterday and it's looking like I got my good battery life back and phone is running wayyyy smoother... I guess this could be because my phone has way less shite on it now but things are looking up.

Interesting. I'm gonna have to try this. My note has been miserable since update in regards to battery.

Did you back up or start from scratch

I've never had to do this personally, but a clean install seems to yield the fewest issues regardless of device.

Yeah, it's a bit of a PITA but I always do a factory reset after an update. I also do a clear cache every month or so with the volume up, home, and power button.
