@big1big: if you're a little unsure what this is all about still, the Treo(s) have the same type of issue; here's a good article to read that will explain it:

Treonauts | A Simpler Soft Reset

metsfan is providing us with the same sort of applet to solve the same problem, but on a BlackBerry device.

Version 0.2!

Before installing this I recommend deleting (in this order) SoftReset, and _DeleteToReset from your BB.

This version no longer requires a manual delete of an application, unless you don't hit the "Reset Now" button that appears when you run it. Then you'll have to manually delete a code modules but it tells you what to do.

Install: OTA or alx/cod
Use:
Run the application from the home screen/applications. It has an icon now! Click the big Reset button, and then choose "Reset Now" when it asks you to reset. If you choose "Reset Later", you'll have to delete a code module to force a reset. Clicking the big Reset button again will give you those instructions.

Click Cancel instead if you run the app but don't actually want to reset.

Testing out the new 0.2, when I click Reset ("my what a big reset button you have, little blackberry") and the hourglass spins for a few seconds I get the notice to reboot, but it also includes some text like "Notice 1 of 5". Is this normal?

(I have no ability to 'see' the other 4 notices, if they exist?)

thanks!

Yeah, that's normal. I don't really know about that message much either. I think the BB will automatically ask you again at some point if you don't reset there, and on the 5th it'll just do it. But I'm not sure, I've never seen another one.

hey metsfan,

love the app... use it all the time.

can you update your first post in this thread with updates to the program. It will get hard to sift through the whole thread for new versions.

thanks

How the heck do you guys do this? I have a Pearl with .64 OS (latest T-Mobile official), and I just sat here using the second hand on my watch:

-press Restart Now and it resets-

1m 55s: first initial screen 'blip' that means it's almost loaded up
2m 21s: that blip to a bright white screen right before the home screen shows
2m 29s: home screen, radio attached to cell tower

How in the world are you cats getting your devices to reboot in under a minute?

I'm on Rogers in Canada, and I have loaded the Cingular .71 OS with just a couple of 3rd party app. Along with everything that I don't use deleted. I guess that makes the difference, or some of the Pearls are just faster..

Great job with this program, I get sick of pulling out my battery all the time to reset it. Great idea, and great implementation

When you get a chance, can you use a watch and post your startup times like mine? More for my personal curiosity, as you aren't the first person to comment their Pearl reboots in a minute or whatever...

I was beta testing another app (I do the beta testing thing on GetJar.com and submit reports) and it locked me up so hard (hard, I say!) that almost required a battery pull (*) -- I ended up doing a SoftReset anyways just in case, and got to watch that fabulous spinning hourglass.

(*) amazingly I let it sit long enough and the RIM OS eventually caught it as a nasty bad app and shut it down on it's own, about 3 seconds before I was going to yank the battery.

Interesting....

Using SoftReset:
2:15 to the TMobile splash screen
2:25 to "verify security settings"
2:35 to Home screen and attached to EDGE signal....


Removing the battery:
1:05 to the TMobile splash screen
1:15 to "verify security settings"
1:25 to home screen and attached to EDGE signal...

Is it possible to just have the BB reset when you hit the reset botton.

FANTASTIC PROGRAM. I am donating and I hope other BBF members have too.

This saves wear and tear on my cases that I have always had to pull apart to do the battery reset.

FANTASTIC PROGRAM..... oh, already said that.

At the moment, no. There may be a way for me to have it automatically push the "Reset Now" button when that window pops up, but I think there's no way to stop it from coming up. I'll look into it automatically pushing the button.
