strange pearl errors including java exception
I had been running into a few strange errors over the past few days on my pearl and I thought I'd post a thread for anyone with similar issues. Yesterday I was unable to answer my phone when someone called. I could see them calling and I could switch between answer or ignore, but I couldn't answer the phone while it was in standby mode. The reason for standby mode is: I don't have a holster, but I don't want to hit keys while my pearl is in my pocket.
The other error was when I would type a name into the home screen. This is my way of initializing SMS messages and calling people without going to the address book. Anyways, every time I began typing a name, I'd get an error (java.lang.illegal
Argumentexception).
I was able to solve this problem by removing the battery, waiting 20 seconds, and putting it back in. Not a ingenious solution, but it fixed my problems. I hope this helps.

p.s. I do have a question. When I shut down my pearl to take the battery out, I got a message saying: "Turning off phone. Next on time August 3rd, 7am." What does that mean? I was worried I wouldn't be able to turn my phone on until then.
