How In The World Do You Soft Reset…..Just Venting!!!

Picture this…………

Pots flying….dishes crashing against the wall….picking your TV up and slamming it…..throwing a chair through the window….take a deep breath, ok, now count to 10…..and WUSSSSSA

I know you’re thinking what???  But that’s how I felt last night.  Here’s the scenario…..

I started working on a video review last night about a particular software, won’t tell you what, you’ll just have to wait and see (but I guarantee you’ll enjoy it).  Anyway, the software begins to malfunction midway through the review.  So, I tell my fiancee to stop taping (she was taping with her N80 by the way) and I close out of the software and re-open it about 4 times.  Much to my surprise, I get the same problem.  So I decide to do a soft reset.  Coming from the Treo, I’ve gotten used to many soft resets.  Then it hit me………..How in the world do you do a soft reset.  So I jump on the internet and do a search.  My search takes me to a site that says to pull the battery out and wait for a minute.  So I try that and that doesn’t work.  So I end up at another site, and this site says to hit *#7370#.  So, I enter the code and it prompts me for the unlock code (which I enter) and the device resets.  I jump up thinking ok, everythings good to go and when my phone reloads….it is back to its factory settings. 

I wanted to lose it (remember my opening paragragh).  I had left my chord at work and my bluetooth on my computer was acting up.  So I had to wait until I came into work this morning and reload everything.  Of course I did do a restore memory from card, but I didn’t get too much.  All my contacts, calendar info and a few programs reloaoded, but that’s about it.  It’s definitely not the phones fault.  Just a rookie mistake!
