Tried the factory reset today. First thing I noticed from yesterday was the Nighthawk app kept indicating no internet connection.
After the factory reset, I ended up seeing the Nighthawk app when I tried to set up to my settings. It doesn't give you a choice about Armor. In order to proceed, you have to accept it. However, after the reset, I restored my cfg file, and was back in business.
Now when I look at the Nighthawk app on my phone it shows I have an internet connection. It also shows Armor enabled and activated.
At the moment iTunes and the other software problems seemed to have stopped. However, since they used to come back after a few hours I won't know if the reset did the trick. Hopefully the reset worked. Thanks.
