NEED HELP ASAP! If I hard reset, will I lose my contacts?
- I have the Curve from Sprint and...
Yesterday my phone began acting really slow and the hour glass kept coming up even if I didn't touch it.
I took out the battery and deleted pictures and what not and today it was still slow.
I want to wipe the device but I'm afraid to lose my contacts. I don't know how to back them up.10-24-08 08:31 PMLike 0 - If you are running Facebook, check out this link:

- So you know for future reference, pulling your battery is the equivalent to a hard reset.
An actual hard reset is to push your alt> right shift>delete keys at the same time, then doing this again just as your screen lights up again.

While I was speaking to a RIM Development Engineer the other day, I asked the difference between the keyed and battery reset was. He informed me that the keyed reset will stop the processor clock to reset the device, but does not power the device down like a battery pull.
He said the prefered reset is to pull the battery as this is more agressive and resets things better.10-24-08 10:13 PMLike 0 - A wipe should be a last resort. In fact, if I were going to wipe, I'd go ahead and install a new (or same OS). It seems to me to make sense to undo what you did just before it started acting up and remove AIM. Make sure you back up your device. I back mine up every couple weeks. This was a good thing because I recently lost my berry and had to put all my data on my new berry.

My reason to wipe my Bold 9700 is the same as the original user's. I have done the backup to my desktop manager on my PC, but am still hesitant to do a wipe because I'm afraid my oh-so-precious blackberry messeger contacts will not be restored.....are these included in the back up file my DM creates? by the way, the back up file seems a bit small (about 32 mb)...is that large enough to cover all my data and stuff...i have A LOT of contacts and other data.
Thank you in advance for your time, and hope to hear your thoughts on this.
All the best,
