All,
I thought I would post my pathetic work around for the SoftReset not working.
Set up:
1. Set SoftReset Download page as bookmark (this is so you can reload SoftReset easily, also note you can do this with any app but SoftReset is nice and small)
2. Install SoftReset
When you need to reboot without battery pull follow these steps:
1. Open SoftReset - It must be open for this to work
2. Press Call End (Red Phone used to Hang Up on a Call) - do not press cancel as that will close the app not put it in the background)
3. Go to Options - Advanced Options - Applications
4. Find SoftReset and Select "Delete"
5. After deleting the BB will offer to Reboot to complete the deletion
6. Click "Yes" or "Reboot" or whatever is necessary to reboot
After it reboots, I reinstall SoftReset and start the process over so I can use this method even if I am out of coverage areas.
If you did not know, this is essentially how SoftReset works in the first place. It installs a small prog to your BB that has parameters to require reboot upon deletion. Then SoftReset sends a command to delete the prog and you get a nice message (presumably caught by SoftReset and reworded for user friendliness) asking you if you want to Reboot Now or Reboot Later. After the Reboot you don't even know that this prog was ever installed, nor do you care!!!
Happy Resetting!!!
