The question, however, is of how to perform the proper reset. Some problems are small and can therefore be solved with a soft reset. Other problems are a bit more ingrained, and will require a hard reset. In this post we&#8217;ll go over the terms and how to accomplish them. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>Soft reset<\/h4>\n<p>A soft reset is the simplest kind. It just reboots your BlackBerry in the quickest, easiest way. It doesn&#8217;t completely clear the memory, so if you&#8217;re suffering from memory leak this probably won&#8217;t help much. If it&#8217;s a more simple issue, though, soft reset away.<\/p>\n<p>To perform a soft reset, press: right-shift + alt + delete. <\/p>\n<h4>Hard reset<\/h4>\n<p>A hard reset can be accomplished by pulling the battery. This will <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\/quick-tips\/how-to-solve-any-blackberry-problem-88906\/\">solve most BlackBerry problems<\/a>. If a hard reset does not solve your problem, your device probably has deeper issues.<\/p>\n<h4>Bonus: Double soft reset<\/h4>\n<p>If you need to perform a hard reset but really don&#8217;t want to pull the battery &#8212; maybe you have a big, bulky case around your device &#8212; there is an alternative. A double soft reset might not perform exactly the functions of a hard reset, but it comes close.<\/p>\n<p>To perform a double soft reset, press right-shift + alt+ delete. When the device lights up as it reboots, press right-shift + alt + delete again. That should do the trick. <\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
