I’ve often wondered why mobile device manufacturers don’t allow for an automated way to warm reboot our devices as we sleep. It seems that the cure for half of the problems with erratic application behavior can be resolved with either a quick battery pull or click of a hardware reset button.

QuickPull 2.0 for BlackBerry OS 4.2+ provides just that. It simulates a “battery pull” – freeing available system memory and reclaiming all the stolen resources that some naughty applications “forget” to return to your BlackBerry. The price is free. Now if RIM could just figure a way to reboot my BlackBerry in under five minutes.

    Neat app. I usually just do a quick press of ALT+SHIFT+DEL on my BlackBerry devices if I don't want to do a full hard reset via Battery Pull. While this is a soft reset, it does the trick 9 out of 10 times (you can also do this twice — press ALT+SHIFT+DEL again when you see the screen turn on if you want a full hard reset without pulling the battery. Handy if you use skins or cases that make it a pain to unlatch the batt door).

    Some other ways of freeing up memory (besides removing apps) is pressing ALT+LGLG. This takes you to the BlackBerry Logs. Clear your warning logs and it will free up space as well (only folks who run into frequent or odd errors they need to send their BES admin or RIM will likely ever really use the logging feature on the device).

    Of course, this app makes the above even more painless since it's Free and you don't have to worry about remembering to pull the battery or go through a series of QWERTY key presses :-)
