i second that.

This application works off of the reboot prompt given upon installation of an application. This app actually installs a small application that asks for a reboot. When you install any new application it always takes a little longer to reboot the device. It's normal.

yea but the way this this program does it is different compared to other resets. this one brings that 1 of 5 reminders to reset the phone. there are other programs that when they are installed they give a different restart message and it seems like the way this program is made that it takes the longest to restart. Also if i do a battery pull its about half the time to reboot then when using this program, the only advantage is that i dont have to take the batt cover off and actually pull the batt. cant this program be sped up?

Ill tell ya....this is one of my biggest phone pet peeves.Before my 8130 i owned a treo and with a PDA you may have the occasional freeze up,and pulling the battery is a pain in the butt.But this app. is a huge time and life saver.....great job man.

thank you, this is a wonderful app

Quick question: I dl this program and I love it. However is this the same as taking the battery out for 30 seconds and rebooting? The reason I ask I did the mass storage cleanup that John Clark walked us through and I went back to the default ATT theme and the Push To Talk icon was still showing on the menu. (I know its gone, I tried clicking on it and the an alert came up saying the .cod files couldnt be located) I havent tried pulling the battery just because its a pain, but I would just like to know for future reference.

No - soft reset is not the same thing as pulling the battery. In most cases it is "close enough," however, in some cases a battery pull may be required.

thanks so much for the autolock and soft reset program. 2 great programs and loving it so far .

awsome program

[Raven]

Nice app, very useful

[rkirshner]

sorry but i am new at this
to download an app do you do this right on your device or do you do this on a pc and download to a media card
if you do this on the device is it stored in device memory or media card
for soft reset specifically what are the steps for down loading this
thanks learning

[jeremyckitching]

No applications can be stored on the media card, so it will be stored in main memory. Yes, you will download the application using your device by browsing out to the URL given. You also have the option of downloading the alx/cod file and using the Desktop Manager to install the program.

Would you be able to put in a scheduler so it can be made to automatically reboot late at night on a regular basis?

Yo! metsfan: Thanks just downloaded SoftReset to my Sprint 8830. 1 min. 45 sec. and all reset. Just in time too. I put a new Otter Box on my ceL. Your program makes it so convenient to reset. Thanks again. I will now Donate.

Thank You,

SoftReset does not work on 8100 running v4.5.0.9 or even 4.3.X.

[ArmyGeorge]

What does reset actually do? I'm still not clear about how the BB uses flash vs RAM and that kinda stuff...like how do I know how many apps are running in the background?

[bbkiller]

you can check to see how many apps are in the background by pressing alt+the back key at the sametime and continue to hold just alt and you use the back key or the track ball to navagate.

[ArmyGeorge]

Ahh, it appears that there are certain apps that need to run, like phone, home screen, messages, etc., how do I get rid of PTT? I don't use that and don't want it running. Thanks.

[BB8100user]

What is the code module that needs to be deleted? I accidentally clicked "restart later" because of the annoying delay when I click on "reset", and now I can't remember what software module to delete.

Thanks.
