Therefore I assume it's a network problem not a handset problem!

I hate doing resets because I have to change my theme each time as I'm using a beta theme that sends my phone bonkers if it's active during a reboot

I've been having some problems with my Media Player and it "working" when I click the trackball so I have been resetting it a little more than usual.

But on a normal week I would say that I reset it once or twice throughout to keep it fresh

If you and puddy are losing connection, there may be something else going on you may need to address. If you're also connecting to WiFi, follow the settings in the WiFi setup guide in my signature. Also, you might try registering your device with your network.

Register Device: Click options> click advanced options> roll down and click host routing table> press your menu key> select register now> click back and close.

It only happened twice in two months. As for WiFi, I have no problems with that. I also tried registering the device when it happened but that did not fix it. Only a reset fixes the problem.

I might try getting a new SIM card since I use to always swap out the one I have now. People are saying that this could cause the problem. So we'll see.

I think a more effective strategy is to clear your browser cache every few days, and clear your event log every couple weeks.

I clear my event log near enough every night, I am so used to doing it because I had the Pearl before and the memory on them SUCKED. I was going to get a new Pearl with my upgrade but couldn't resist the Jave.

"Xavier85 what is the difference between EDGE and edge? I don't really understand it."

Basically:
EDGE = data active (data works)
edge = data inactive (data does NOT work)

I'm pulling my battery a few times a week - normally when I get repeated black screens, or some of my MP3's are no longer found in the library.

What is quick pull?

quickpull is a nice little program where you can schedule resets to be performed without doing a actual battery pull. you can find the link here

You're right, twice in 2 months isn't anything to worry about - I only mentioned it because I though maybe you were concerned. Sounds like it's fine, just a hiccup once in a while.

Thanks! Downloading now - should be pretty nice since I've got a Seido Innocase II on order, and won't want to have to remove it every few days!
