Soft Reset - is this OK when done often?

Hi all,
just wondered, given my last post and the issues I seem to be having with activesync, I know this may seem a dumb question but - can it do any harm to softreset the device on a regular daily basis?
cheers and regards
Rossco

I don't know of any except you could wear out the soft reset button. You may want to use a software "soft resetter" like the one built into Battery Pack.
HTH,
Brad

I don't think you can kill a soft reset switch. Mine would have worn out long ago!

Under Texas state law soft reset abuse is only permissable if the intent is honorable.

You must bring Honor to us all.
This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I've seen worse
We're going to turn this sow's ear
into a silk purse
We'll have you washed and dried
Primped and polished
till you glow with pride
Trust me recipe for instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all
Wait and see
When we're through
Boys will gladly go to war for you
With good fortune
And a great hairdo
You'll bring honor to us all
A girl can bring her family
great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this could be the day
Men want girls with good taste
Calm
Obediant
Who work fast-paced
With good breeding
And a tiny waist
You'll bring honor to us all
We all must serve our Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons
When we're through
You can't fail
Like a lotus blossom
Soft and pale
How could any fellow
Say "No Sale"
You'll bring honor to us all
There - you're ready
Not yet
An apple for serenity
A pendant for balance
Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a cricket just for luck
And even you can't blow it
Ancestors
Hear my plea
Help me not to make a
fool of me
And to not uproot
my family tree
Keep my father standing tall
Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker
Destiny
Guard our girls
And our future
as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on
these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us all

The soft reset is the easier way to clean your RAM. I would recommend everyone to do a soft reset at least two times a week. I personally like to do it one per day. I have soft reseted my h2215 654 times since september 2003.

Apparently it CAN be a problem....

Some Database gets 3 entries EVERYTIME you soft reset.... bad. The page has an application on it which keeps that database clean.

That's the notifications database that Clear Notifications from ScaryBear gets rid of. Everybody running WM2003 should use this app.
