I apologize for the noob question, but when you say restore as new, does that mean you do a hard reset and reload all your apps and settings manually?
BTW, I installed OTA, but then I did a hard reset and restored from iCloud.
Basically, yes or connect it to iTunes and then select restore, and after it boots up, set up as a new device and not from a backup. I even go as far as remove the ipsw file to the trashbin, put my device in DFU mode and then restore. It causes iTunes to download a fresh copy of the latest iOS version and install it, but that's "my personal" preference...

Thanks for the explanation, although I have no idea what the ipsw file is or what DFU mode is.
