Is it necessary for Sprite to soft reset? I got it a few days ago and was having it back up daily at 11pm but this morning my battery was at 0%

Maybe it didn't turn itself off - and if that's the case then I need to make sure I just use the manual backup option.
The reason I ask (and BTW, sorry for hijacking your thread

) is that PocketMon disappears after a soft reset and requires a trip to the Today screen (don't do nothin' just go there and click OK) to get PocketMon back on the screen.
I made some screen shots that illustrate.
screen1a.jpg after soft reset - PocketMon is not visible
screen2a.jpg a few seconds after going in and out of the Today screen - PocketMon is not visible but the location for it has been drawn
screen3a.jpg a few seconds later - PocketMon is visible but it has kinda hosed my wallpaper.
The fine folks at Sprite software are not nearly as good (read: responsive) as some developers (Amit@SBSH comes quickly to mind), even on their own forum so I thought I'd post here and see if a grass-roots approach has a better effect.
