People use these terms. I have spent a week trying to find the difference. Can some one please explain the differences and how to do them.

BTW I have a Pearl 8130

Hard Reset=Pulling out the battery

Soft Reset= Alt/Shift/delete or app

soft reset is a keypad combo or app that resets the phone, and a hard reset is a battery pull

The hard reset(battery pull) works the best for me...

oddly enough, the soft reset app works best for me

Exactly, it is whatever you feel comfortable doing as well. Some people do not like removing the battery. My buddy BMC937, swears by the double soft reset.

I have actually become far less obsessive about resets and memory optimization. I was on a binge for a while about Memory Optimization and Resets, but now I am much more lax.

I usually stick with a soft reset if something acts up.... but I have not done any sort of reset for a good amount of time now. And I always prefer the Double Soft Reset over a Battery Pull.

Some of the links that were posted above are great resources and threads about this "Soft/Hard Reset" debate
