How many times a day do u perform soft reset ?

Just something that interests me, and i did a search in the forums to see if theres a thread about it, didnt find (maybe im blind )

i find myself performing soft reset about 5-10 times a day, mainly to clear good the memory, as closing programs and killing proccesses doesnt help as reset does, and sometimes reset to make the active sync work :rolling:

Sprite backup does one automatically for me everynight when it finishes its backup.

Apart from that.. maybe once every other day

On average 2-4 times a day. Betaplayer tends to get locked up if I pause it too many times and requires a soft reset. Most softresets are to fix specific apps that either lockup, or require a reboot prior to running. (Even though I use SPB Pocket Plus and kill all running apps on closure)

I'll soft reset 2-3 times a day mainly because of games and occasional GSplayer. No biggie though.

1-2 times a day, especially Navigon hangs up (in stand-by-mode, vertical stripes on screen).

Once daily with scheduled Sprite Backup and that's really about it, unless installing new software or pushing Betaplayer beyond its limits...although I've had less with Betaplayer recently now that I've changed its video setting from "Intel 2700G Decoder" to simply "Intel 2700G".

I think this pool is way to large.

I usually do 1 by day.. just to "clear" the ram and free some space.
Sometime 1 more if a program hang (mainly games)

Edit: The Guy that awnsered 10-20 should really send his pocketpc to Dell or learn how to work with.

Generally Sprite backup does it. I've always figured that
if I have to manually reset that I've goofed in setting up programs or have a program conflict/operator error.

None was not an option - maybe once every 2 weeks at most.
