With all the memory leak issues people are seeing with their 8130s we all need to reset our phones pretty often. I'm hesitant to keep pulling the battery though there has to be a better way to reset the device. It's not like you pull the plug on your computer, you go through a shutdown process. Is there something similar for a blackberry?

From my experience, its generally not that the phone needs to be turned off but that the batter needs to come out, to remove any funky things the phone is doing/not doing. I have turned off my phone doing quirky things before and that not solve the issue but doing a hard reset did.

For the SureType devices, no, the only way to reboot it is to remove the battery.

[clxa38#CB]

there is a software called softreset. download that and use that to reset. no more need to remove battery.

[Gibralter]

Thats cool. I personally would still stick with the manual battery pull.

Yeah last thing I need is more software. Isn't that the main reason for the memory lag? I love my blackberry but I hope rim increases memory in the 9000 series!

i use softreset. it works great. much better than pulling the battery out. imo.

Softreset! It's a small program and works great!

Soft Reset FTW! I imagine it's got to be a little less harsh than a battery pull.

how does the soft reset differ from turning the phone off/on? what does the soft reset do?

thanks

Soft Reset!! Great program. only 6k

i use the soft reset and it works the same as a battery pull. it is a very small program and worth the download in my opinion

[kristinlynn]

Agreed. SoftReset is a must, I love it.

I also have SoftReset and love it...I agree...taking the battery out once a week increases the risk of damaging the battery terminals.

once a week, i wish! i have to do a soft reset at least once a day! that's why i love the soft reset program so much.

I use soft reset once or twice a day. It works great and its much easier than doing a battery pull.

I just installed this wonderful app I can't believe I have been going without it for so long!

Yes...my BB only gets down to about 10MB about 1x/week....that's when I'll do the reset again.

Softreset is a godsend. I have also removed some programs to free up some memory. After a soft reset, I have 12.7mb free.

[akira751#CB]

Soft reset a must have.
