Do you Factory Reset after updating to a new version of Android? - General Questions and Answers

Hello
They seems to be mixed info on the internet based on this question! My old HTC 10 started playing up with its battery life and for the first time since owning it "2 years" I did a factory reset, this fixed the battery life
Was this because I never reset after each new Android upgrade?

Hello
My Question isn't based on this device only. Rather than a general question about Android. If you google about you find so meany mixed opinions around if you should or shouldn't factory reset after each update. So i thought I would see what the XDA community think.

Okay then... I really can't provide input for this myself but, If you had a question regarding the "Android" in general, I would suggest/recommend that you phrase your question in that manner because your question is phrased in such a way that it looks like it's related specifically to your device.
You should be able to obtain some member guidance within one of the following General Q&A threads on the Forum that may result in a better chance for a response from one of the more experienced contributors there.

Just be sure that your question is as specific as possible and also mention that it's a General Question regarding the Android and not the Device Specifically.
Don't be surprised if the responses may end up as Device Specific depending upon the assistance/feedback/guidance provided to you.
I wish you the best of luck!

Problems with Android O

Since yesterday, when I got the upgrade to Android O (Moto Z2 Force) I've gotten some issues, it started with Spotify stoping half a second everytime I played a song but meh, it was okay just a little annoying. Then the voicenotes I sent through WhatsApp or facebook's messenger sounded like supressed (calls and videos are okay) and I also can't send videos through whatsapp. Tried doing a factory reset and still the same. Any ideas?
I'm thinking on downgrading back to Nougat
P.s. Sorry if this has already been answered, I couldn't find anything.
Here's an example of a WhatsApp voicenote

Sm-n920v root method plox?

How is everyone doing
Sooo...I have a couple questions about the rooting of the SM-N920V (Verizon Note 5)
From what I've read from past threads, it is impossible to root but pretty much all of them went inactive about a year ago. I have found Odin files from CF and various websites/forums/blogs and was able to tinker with a lot of them (I had all my files backed up so I had some freedom) ranging to Android 6.0.1 to 7.0, but unfortunately to no success :crying: If you DO NOT have this phone I will volunteer mine as a test subject as all my stuff are backed up. Thanks guys! :laugh:
