Set up as new device, but restore from iCloud - HOW?

Right now I'm on iOS 5 but experiencing MASSIVE battery drain. I need to set up as a new device, but how is this done with iCloud?


I have my contacts and calendar backed up to iCloud instead of iTunes. When I restore my device again, and I select SET UP AS NEW DEVICE on the iPhone after it's restored, will it wipe out my iCloud backup?

No one understands what this guy means.

I have the same question. How do you restore from iCloud after Initial hook up. I had cellular connection but not wifi. So I couldn't restore from iCloud. So is there a way after the fact of booting up the phone after doing a "reset all setting and erase all content?" I had to do this at work because Siri didn't work all day for me. I reset network settings 5-6 times. Nothing worked. So after 12 hours of no Siri I just decided to do a full reset.

Am I going to have to do it again at home where I have wifi to do a restore from

iCloud?
