Won't a Hard Reset wipe everything and put you back to Factory Settings? HOw exactly does one do the Reset?
To clarify myself a little bit since it may look that I was saying that no one should post about their problems/issues/feedback/etc....I agree with you but these build are developing very slowly. They are working on it for 5 months (or maybe even longer) so you would expect that some basic functions work as expected.

I don't know why people complain about others complaining or pointing out issues.

What I am saying is not that people should not report what's going wrong with their phones (since there seems to be someone, not you, with comprehension issues). That is after all one of the most important things when testing something: report what's wrong so it can be fixed.
What I am saying instead is people have to be prepared for EVERYTHING to go wrong. We cannot (should not) take shots at a company because an alpha/beta build that they gave us doesn't work in whatever way we expected. Even if it is the most basic thing. Everything can and will go wrong.
If nothing works in the build then that's fine (in a rhetorical sense). Report it. No need to name call Microsoft (not saying you did it but I have seen people that have) or their employees because that is part of software development. There are cases and scenarios where nothing will work. Devs and internal testers cannot catch everything. I am a software engineer and I work in much MUCH smaller scale projects and we still miss stuff that gets released all the time. A bug free build of alpha/beta software will never happen (or even finished software for that matter). Keeping an open mind and being able to provide level headed feedback is key to keep this thing moving forward.
In the case of people where they cannot do anything then I strongly suggest that they stop installing unfinished builds in their main phones and only do so in back up phones. That way if nothing works they can report that nothing works and it doesn't affect their daily usage of their main device and they will avoid a ton of frustration.
I cant find the settings on my phone after the upgrade. When I click on All settings from Action Center, it says search for an app in the store. How do I hard reset my phone without getting to settings?
Again, I agree with you because I'm windows developer too. I'm just little disappointed about development speed of these build. Anyway I fixed all of my issues by doing hard reset. Did anyone notice that if you swipe down from the top in action center toggles will expand. Nice feature.
It is kinda funny. I cant find any system app on my phone. Settings, IE, Messaging and a lot of others. I let my phone sit there for more than one hour and nothing changed. I may have to reset it from Find My Phone section on Windowsphone.com.
