Anyone know how to remove the PTT from auto running or maybe remove this program from the bb 8820 all together, using a att 8820.

ok cool I think Ill skip that a little too difficult for me. Is their a way to reset the device instead of pulling out battery 8820?

[jtsunami09876]

Also if I wipe the device by going into security options, what does that do exactly, will it be like I just got it new from ATT and just reset everything up again?

[Ulukia]

Do you want to reboot it like a batter pull (Alt + Shift + Del), or a full wipe?

[Ulukia]

Yes, if you do a full wipe it will be reset to factory defaults AKA fresh out of the box.

The initial read on that post can seem a little laborious but I assure you the steps are easy to follow and you will do yourself a favor by following instructions on that optimize post.

Ah, there he is. ^

Cool so to do full wipe I just goto security settings or something like that and choose wipe ?

That is what I would like to do in the future if I get too many apps on it.

Kinda extreme to remove some apps. Easier to delete through Options > Advanced > App or use the Application Loader when connected to the PC to delete or add multiple apps simultaniously.

** Warning ** Continuing with this action will erase all user data. Strike Y to continue.

Full Wipe: Options > Security > General setings > (BB Key) > Wipe {Yes, there probably is a better way}

** Warning ** Continuing with this action will erase all user data. Strike Y to continue.

Any 3rd party app can easily be deleted from the device. Removing PTT requires use of a PC.

Not a problem. There are no bad questions, just bad answers.

After you get settled in with your new device, getting rid of PTT is not so hard. It does free up some memory but what I like best is when I het the menu button and then switch app the ribbon of applications open do not go across the screen telling me instantly that only the mandatory 4 apps are open and running.

Getting rid of PTT and some other junk leaves me with 34.4mb Free which makes for a very stable device
