With the device on, remove the back, and remove the battery. Leave it out for 20-30 seconds, then put the battery back in and put the back on as well.

This is also known as a hard reboot and clears up a lot of funky issues.

Nope, a battery pull is just that - pull out the battery and put it back in

Thanks for your help.
Just to let you know you're not crazy, the method you're talking about is a soft reset.

Be careful with battery pulls cause' sometimes it deletes your saved stuff. (on phone memory)

That is why you always have a fresh backup.....


I agree with this above. Had a user do a battery pull and the phone booted up and it was wiped. But only certain parts were missing from the databases...

Think it was a low memory issue.

I am amazed, this thread has been view over 20,000 times since it was first posted back in '07.

The value of a good thread title is apparent..

I don't think I ever backed up my 8100 when I had it. Glad that I found CB, and
began learning how to do stuff with my phone.

It's easy! Just take off the battery door, take out the battery for about 30 seconds andthen put it back in!

Anything else does not hard reset your device and will not help with whatever problem you are having!
