Hi Sieghard, I'm not going to argue that resetting one's settings after a full reset can't be done but the amount of time involved will be a function of one's memory or documentation of custom settings which I suspect few have. I believe I had reset most of mine accept for the background wallpaper color which was reset to what appeared to be an orange color. I could not figure out how to get the sea green color I previously had back. The bigger issue is identifying the benefit of resetting all your settings. I know James said it resolved most of his issues but it certainly didn't resolve the one I reported to Apple Accessibility. And I can't say I was noticing any difference in responsiveness of my SE 2020 after the reset so the cost of the reset in my case was a lot greater than any benefit received.

If you actually take a moment to read what it says before youc onfirm, you would see this: This will reset all settings. No data or media will be deleted. After you confirm you are furthermore told that it will erase any payment cards on file and since passcodes and any Touch Id or Face Id entries are also settings they will also be deleted and after the phone reboots there will be no passcode, you will have to again set one up and redo your Touch or Face Id authentication. I actually did this also on Sunday and it took me maybe half an hour or 45 minutes to first of all reconnect to WiFi and rename my phone, then to set up a passcode and Touch Id, then to add my two credit cards and to a large extend the time was spend going through a bunch of settings like Background App Refresh, Keyboards, Privacy/location services etc. and putting them back to what I had/wanted. Of course that also included switching my main voice back to American female SIRI, adding a German voice and so on. Apart from that it was not such a big deal and I previously chose to erase all settings and content and to start from scratch without restoring from a backup and that was truly a lot of work since I basically redownloaded all my apps again and set up everything from scratch. Resetting all settings also reset my ringtone and other sounds to factory default, but since I didn't erase all data and content my custom ringtones and alert tones were all still there and it took me maybe 5 minutes to set my custom tones up again, go into the individual Mail accounts I have to set up the tones I want for them etc. Best regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2020 8:40 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: How I solved most of my voiceover iOS 14 problem how I solved most of my voiceover iOS 3 team problems James, I'm glad resetting all your settings corrected most of your iOS 14 issues. I'll caution others from doing that because when Apple Accessibility had me reset my settings in connection with an issue I was reporting, not only did doing so not affect the issue but all of my custom settings were reset to factory defaults. This was such an inconvenience that I attempted to get my settings back by restoring an iTunes encrypted backup which failed and hung requiring me to restore my iPhone SE 2020 to brand new factory defaults. Fortunately, after doing this, I was able to restore my iTunes encrypted backup but I spent about 12 hours on Saturday messing with the phone.

Hopefully it does not come back. Hopefully it does not come back.
