Ok, I am a newbie of a few weeks and I noticed that everyone is talking of doing a battery pull. I have searched the forums but I have not found out how to actualy do a battery pull. I realize you open the back and take out the battery, but do you have to leave it out for a while? Is there anyother way than opening the back every time. I find it difficult to do. Thanks for your help.

take out the battery...leave it out for 30 seconds... but it back :-)

there is a program you can download, im sure someone here has it, i cant remember it.

30 seconds. Or use this program and schedule it to occur every night while you sleep.

To do a true battery pull, you have to take the cover off every time and remove the battery. Leave it out for about 30 seconds, and pop it back in.

Thanks so much. 30 secs it is.

[Crackberrykills]

I wait 40 secs. Just for kicks most of the time.

[KoukiFC3S]

Hmm I usually wait like 5 sec lol. Gonna try 30.

I go 10! And I'm sure it doesn't matter how long you go......despite what some ex gfs have told me!

[BBartist]

ya it doesnt really matter how long you leave it out once the power is cut the power is cut...all your previous settings are restored when the battery is reinserted into the phone. The only downside to doing a battery pull is having to log back into a lot of sites i.e. Facebook/Myspace/Flickr

Quickpull, quickpull, quickpull.

Time doesn't matter folks...the storm doesn't have any sort capacitative power storage enough to keep anything running for more than a second or so once the battery is pulled.

5 seconds, 500 seconds, same deal.

[Lightninrod]

Pull it with the Storm still on.

I think you are thinking about "SoftReset". It worked the same as a battery pull. I had it on my pearl but didn't transfer it to my storm. If it works on the storm it's worth looking in to!

Haha I don't even wait...I pop it out enough that the device turns off, then pop it back in...usually just try to stop the electrical connection lol

I think I may try the 30 seconds too and see if it makes any difference, but my inclination is that it doesn't...

anyone else find it difficult to get the back off of the phone?
If I have to do a battery pull, the worst part is trying to get that back panel off.... and waiting for the reboot (sheesh!).
thanks.

[goseminoles]

I hope there will be a time when I don't have to do a battery pull once a freaking day with this phone.

it's all about technique...
i cradle the device in my left hand, screen to my palm, earpiece down, and gently massage the triggers with my thumb and index finger in a downword motion, and then sliiidddeeee my right index finger underneath then i rip the battery out in a passionate ferver then jam it back in and huff and puff and shiver while i wait for the phone to power on

As mentioned before, use the quick pull program. It is free. You schedule it for a time to do it every day. So, I do it while I'm sleeping. Also, if needed, you can do the quick pull manually anytime with the software.

With as many battery covers as I've seen get messed up, I wouldn't want to open the battery door 365 times a year. That's just begging for additional problems.
