1. How do we restart the Storm ? If I turn it off from OFF button, then it gets switched off , but when I click the SWITCH ON button, it just appears instantly. It looks like, its working like a SLEEP MODE. I have to pull out the battery each time to restart the phone and thats like a f**king stuff , bcz everytime, I have to get out eh polycarbonate cover, which I got after searching for months and months.
So, how do you do it ? Or Am I missing something ??
2. How do you block or blacklist calls from specific numbers ? I dont see any such option in the contacts. But when im on the phone and I right click the number, then it shows a menu item, VIEW BLOCKED CALLS . So, where do you do that ?04-14-10 01:16 PM - Blackberry's do NOT "shut off." Using the Power Off button simply puts the phone into something akin to a sleep mode, thus the "instant on" you're experiencing.
In order to do a complete "reboot" (like you'd reboot a Windows computer), you do need to do a battery pull. This will clear your device of any unnecessary apps running in the background, clear system cache, recover memory, etc.
There are multiple apps out there which can allow you to do a "simulated battery pull" that are quite effective. "Quick Pull" is one and I believe they have both a free and a paid version. Back when I had an S1, I used that and it worked fine, but then discovered MeterBerry which offered more features (monitor and log battery strength and memory in user-definable increments) as well as doing a soft reset. For 99% of the cases where you might need to do a battery pull, the soft reset feature of these two apps works just fine. On occasion, a full, complete battery pull might be needed. You can find links to both of these apps here in the Crackberry App store.
EDIT: I just saw your responding post to a previous post. If you're on OS 5.0, not sure the "Call Blocker" app will work.
As to your second question, if I"m not mistaken, you can block certain numbers if you're with Verizon, from an account on the Verizon Wirless website. I do not know about your carrier. I may be mistaken on this though. I do not believe there are any apps that specifically allow this to your main number, but if you use a Google number, I think that has the ability to block or immediately redirect to voice mail, desginated numbers.
