I see there is a reset button by the battery pack on the inside of the phone.  Silly question, but will resetting the PPhone 64 wipe the OS?   I have the Ubuntu Touch on my UBPorts version.

No, it just does a hard reboot of the phone. I wouldn't use it unless you need it though, hard reboots like that aren't good for the modem.

I would prefer to remove the battery and put it back in. Tongue
Find me in the forest, when I'm at my lowest. I don't really think you should continue..

I was thinking of trying to to see if, with a clean boot it would setup the APN for Mint Mobile, which I cannot set up manually sine the phone won't save the settings.
