Default Soft Reset for the 8830

Please Login to Remove!

Is there a way to reset the device without having to pull out the battery?

it's alt - caps - del, that will soft reset your 8830. I did it all the time when I owned one.

It doesn't do a thing when I press those three keys simultaneously on my 8830 (VZW).

ALT+(right) Shift+DEL. It has to be the right Shift, NOT THE LEFT.

Thanks! It works now that I'm using the RIGHT shift key instead of the left. Who says we don't learn something new everyday?
