Battery Pull or Reboot Program/option ?

Is there a "Battery Pull" or "reboot" program?
I DID in fact research it but everything goes towards the task killer, which I did download it....
Thanks again!

Trying to have it reboot to shut down all applications not in use and to refresh the device.
My blackberry storm had a "battery pull" program I downloaded from App World.
It just is a debation. I have never used it. Check out the link below:

I have read though that you don't need task killer if you are running on 2.2

Battery Pull - When, Why, and How

An *excellent* article on the when, why, and how of doing battery pulls on your BlackBerry. It's recommended many times on these boards to fix a multitude of problems because it WORKS! Here's why:
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-battery-pulls-when-why-and-how
And if you don't want to click the link, here are a few of the highlights:
Maybe [your BlackBerry] is not working as fast as before, the internet is stalled, or application memory is gone and nothing has been added. Is it possessed? Do you want to hurl it against the wall?
Before exchanging the device or panicking that it’s broken, know this. It’s normal; from time to time, your device might become slow and unresponsive. There is a quick and simple way to troubleshoot these issues. In these cases, it’s necessary to reset your BlackBerry device by performing a hard or soft reset. A hard reset is also called a battery pull.
Essentially, a battery pull restarts the operating system on your BlackBerry device and is just like rebooting your PC when it’s experiencing problems. It is not the same as using the Pwr Off/On button. This only places the phone in standby mode. Not only does a battery pull solve various problems with your device, it also frees up application memory and shuts down applications running in the background that can drain battery and resources.
A battery pull can help when:
Hardware Problems
Device display freezes or jerks
Torch/Storm devices lag when going from Portrait to Landscape and vice versa
Keypad/Trackball stops responding or does not work
SIM card errors
Software Problems
Java code or module errors appear on screen (e.g. Uncaught exception)
Applications are slow, unresponsive, do not load or lag
Theme issues
Bluetooth errors – connecting, pairing, etc.
Installing/Uninstalling Applications & Theme)
Music streaming apps (Slacker, Pandora) experience continuous buffering
Social networking apps (Twitter/Facebook) indicate there is no connection available
Memory leak – available application memory drops
LED Notification - LED keeps flashing when there are no new e-mails, texts, alarms, etc.
Maybe you don't WANT to physically remove the battery; I know I don't like removing the protective case repeatedly to take the battery out of the phone. Thankfully, there are third party "apps" that simulate a battery pull that you can download from BB App World. I use QuickPull by Steelhorn Software (free); it will reboot your device on a schedule you set, or you can do it manually as needed. A+ Reset ($2.99 after free trial), deReset ($5.99), Restart Me (free) are other options, all available through BB App World.
HTH someone...your BlackBerry can do a lot for you, but you do need to do some caretaking and maintenance.

Device will not Boot up after a battery pull.

Hi guys, today is my first time using this website and I also registered today so I am very much NEW here.
I live in Jamaica and my service provider is Digicel Jamaica. My phone is out of warranty by 6 months now as it was purchased 1.5 years ago from Digicel through my company that I was working for.
I have a Torch 9860 with OS version 7.1.
Two months ago while charging the phone with the charger that was supplied from the manufacturer, i realised that the phone had become very hot and as such i removed the charger and let it cool via removing the battery cover, at that point i realised that using the keypad to type messages the slightest tap of any letter resulted in that letter either not responding or it would give me multiples of the same letter , which prompted me to tap delete which would either delete the whole word or sometimes just the letter. at other times, the keypad would work just fine. the battery also did not keep charge for more than a few minutes, and upon inspecting the battery realised it was swollen, as such I had it replaced with one purchased from my Dealer which solved the issue of not holding a charge, but the keypad was still behaving funny as previously explained above.
My major issue I am now facing is I did a battery Pull anf after replacing the battery, the Phone will not boot up, no blackberry logo with the load bar being displayed, the phone appears to be dead. the battery indicator light is blank even if the charger is connected. This occurred once about a week ago and after several remove and replacing the battery it finally booted up and worked, but did another battery pull two days ago and it still will not power on.
Please Help, can you advise me if this is a new issue or what needs to be done. I am thinking as a last option to replace the entire board, but out here in Jamaica, that is a very costly option.
Thank you for taking the time to review this, any help or guidance or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jamaikhan
If this happened to you because your problem is that is nuked stay dead ...
I can relive through using programs like BBSACK to apply a Wipe
You must download the OS from your Blackberry 9860.
Having the Desktop Manager installed on your PC ...

Battery Pull --To Pull or Not to Pull

When I bought my Curve 8330 recently, the sales guy at the Sprint Store said I should pull my battery on a weekly basis to re-set the phone. Is this really necessary? I just got an Otterbox cover and holder for my birthday and it seems like it's gonna be a hassle to pull the battery.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Blackberry's do need to be rebooted from time to time (I do it every day). There is a free program called Quick Pull that simulates a battery pull (http://www.mobihand.com/steelthorn/productMobile.asp?id=27660).

BB Q10 - Difference between Power OFF and "Battery pull out"?

Hello,
Any one has any info on what difference the phone sees between a proper power switching OFF and doing a battery pull out?
Apparently, some of the customer service guys at BlackBerry advises you to do a battery pull out while the phone is in ON mode.
Just curious to know what is the reason behind it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you power off your phone, it keeps everything intact until you power on again. When you do a battery pull, it interrupts the operation of the phone and many temporary files, not necessary to the proper operation of the phone, are erased. In many instances, when there's something playing havoc on your phone it can be found within these temp files.
Another method to do a battery pull is to press and hold the power button until BlackBerry appears on the screen. Other things will appear before that but if you continue holding until it shows, the effect is similar to doing a battery pull with the phone powered on. Note that pressing the power button to shut off the phone does not erase these temp files unless you hold it until BlackBerry shows, usually about 15 seconds.
I hope that helps you.

Z10 freezes, switches off, requires battery pull

I have had my Z10 since July. Initially every 3-4 days it would not respond and require a battery pull to start working. After all the updates this has become frequent. Now the machine locks up 3-4 times a day.
Any suggestions!

What is happening is that your on-device battery meter is off-sync with the actual battery charge.
Connect to your OEM wall outlet battery charger and while still connected and powered on, remove the battery a minute to reboot. After reboot leave to fully charge to 100%.
This will reset the false charge reading. You may need to do perform this procedure 2-3 times.

Z10 Phone Ring Going Silent Until Battery Pull, and Sometimes Loosing Its Knowing Its ID Information

I had a number of instances where the phone would no longer ring. No ring, or notifications have been modified.
The temporay fix is to do a battery pull and allow a full reset.
I found this happens sometimes after installing and then uninstalling a downloaded program from Blackberry World formerly known as App World. I also noticed this issue sometimes happening after updates have been installed.
The unfortunate part of this is if the Bluetooth earphone is not being used calls will be missed because the phone will be silent. I found there was no ring because I had messages and callers displayed during periods where I should have heard the phone ringing.
I also had issues where the phone lost the capability for it to know its ID. In this case the backup, or restore, and downloads will not respond. The fix is a battery pull.
I had one time where the battery pull did not fix it. I had to re-install the OS for the phone to become normal again.
Jerry G.

Personally, I think this is a super deluxe great phone. I like everything about the Z10 from a user point of view. We have a number of these Z10 phones and love them. When the Q10 comes out, we may get a few to use as keyboard phones.
I am thinking the OS was not exactly ready for release. There are some important missing issues and bugs that I have been running in to. I cannot see during testing that these bugs did not come out because there are many users who are having them.

Why does Google auto-complete fail in Firefox 17.0.1 when I type something in the search field there is no pull down list of options as I type?

When I type a word or term into the Google search bar the auto-complete fails; there is no pull down list of options for my search, only what I have completely typed in. I have to type in the complete word or term that I am searching for and then press return to get the results. I'm using a MacBook and OS X 10.7.5 Please help! This is so frustrating!

Note that websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling autocomplete data as I posted above.
Did you check for that?
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the autocomplete attribute.

You can paste this code in the command line in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console; Ctrl+Shift+K) and press the Enter key to verify if there is an input field with autocomplete.

<pre><nowiki>var c=0,e=document.querySelectorAll('input[autocomplete],form[autocomplete]'),T='\n';
for(i=0;E=e[i];++i){T+='['+(++c)+'] '+(E.name||'#'+E.id)+' ('+(V=E.getAttribute('autocomplete').toLowerCase())+')\n';}
console.log('autocomplete: '+c+T);

BB Curve 8900 - randomly stops receiving emails and requires battery pull

I'm a newb to BB and this forum has helped a lot but my BB Curve 8900 randomly stops receiving emails about every 2 days and requires a battery pull to correct.
When it stops receiving emails and I go to the browser, it is also unable to connect. I basically lose all connection to data. I can receive calls and sms.
Turning unit off and on does not help.
I need to do a battery pull. Then starts working fine right away.
I'm with Rogers in Canada
Is there a fix for this? Could I possibly have a bad phone? Battery pull once is a while is fine but to need to do that every 2 days is not.

Something similar happens to me. I have to keep resending the service books and then it works fine, try this, at least it will stop you keep doing a hard reset. I have read somewhere else that this can be influenced by having your phone to turn off at night etc. So for now I have turned this feature off. I can actually receive emails via wifi and the failure is only on GPRS. It sounds a bit strange but I am also becoming convinced that it only occurs when I leave home, go somewhere else and then come back.
Read this below. I did do all this but it hasnt worked for me, may help you though

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option for Lion?

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option in Lion? I use it to design quilts.

Nothing that comes with Lion.
Just put, "osx drawing program free," in Google and take your pick.
First one on the list is one called Paintbrush: http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/
You could also just search the App Store.

Lost media after battery pull

So, on Sunday my phone wouldn't connect to the network so I tried a battery pull. When the phone came back on, it connected just fine, but all of my saved media (pictures, music, videos) was gone. The media was all saved on the device and we use a BES at my office. Any chance of recovering the lost media? Phone seems to be working just fine--just don't have any pictures or videos left. Thanks for any advice.

Hi
Do another battery pull whilst powered on and leave the batterry out for a minute or 2.
Make sure that the folder/s with the media aren't hidden. Go through each folder - and Media and downloads and apps are the most obvious places and ensure "Show All" is ticked in the menu.
I presume you do regular back-ups as part of your firm's IT policy. You should be able to restore from a recent back-up with no fuss.
Otherwise I would refer to your admin for assistance; many admin folk prefer to deal with issues.
