Reset button on Blackberry.
- Wouldn't it be nice if all Blackberries had a reset button? Obvious QWERTY BBs can reset with a key combo, but it would be nice not to have to ever worry about taking off a battery door to reset.
Hey, I'll even take a certain physical button key combo (common to all BBs) as a reset button. How about ESC+Mute+Power = Reset?
Sure as heck wouldn't be too hard to code into the OS. What do you others think?

- I agree with Civic, the non-keyboard toting Storm owners are left with only a battery pull, no easy way to reboot the STORM maybe that will clear up some confusion. Also even if you have a combo key why those keys and not change it to something that is generic to all Blackberry Devices.07-28-09 07:52 AMLike 0

Pearl, Storm, etc. (all non-physical QWERTY BBs) cannot do that buttom combo to reset. Why is that so hard to realize... and to top it off, I even indicated this in the OP. Sheesh...07-28-09 08:17 AMLike 0 - I'm all for a single button reset somewhere but hate those paper clip nightmares. Seems every time I need to reset one of those I scan around for a suitable weapon and rarely have a paper clip... and if I do then I have to destroy one to do the task. The OCD in me forces me to then try and "fix" it when I'm done... never satisfied.
Maybe a slightly recessed button that wouldn't be hit by accident...?07-28-09 08:41 AMLike 0 -
- well this is what i got from my buddy with a storm.

among its many tools (although not shown in the picture) is a really small screwdriver, which is useful for hitting reset/eject buttons.07-28-09 09:53 AMLike 0 - Before you go off on other people, make sure your original statements are complete. You did not specify that you were talking about a Pearl or a Storm. I assumed (it appears that someone else did too) that you were talking about BBs in general and not a specific model.07-28-09 10:57 AMLike 0

- What about this: download Quickpull & then set it to a convenience key. this wouldn't work if the device were completely frozen of course; but it would work for those times when its about to freeze up & you get that lag but its still partially functional.
Its worth a shot.

She is stating [correctly so] that there should be a reset button, or barring that, a reset combo that is universal to All BlackBerry Smartphones. Qwerty, Suretype AND touchscreen.
As civic says it(Universal reset combo) could be easily done via OS code so it makes me wonder if RIM could slip it in, intime for 5.0 release.07-28-09 11:28 AMLike 0 - What about this: download Quickpull & then set it to a convenience key. this wouldn't work if the device were completely frozen of course; but it would work for those times when its about to freeze up & you get that lag but its still partially functional.

- To clarify for a few folks, the ALT-SHIFT-DEL combo is NOT a hard reset. It does not accomplish everything that a battery pull does. The only way to do a hard reset is with the battery pull. RIM distinguishes between the two methods on their web site.
