How to reset a Palm Pre mobile Phone

Turns out I was mistaken in one of my last posts “Palm Pre acting slow“. You can in fact restart a Palm Pre without taking the battery out, and this serves the same functionality and allows you to restart your phone speeding up the mobile device. As I mentioned in my “Palm Pre acting slow” post, the reason I was needing to restart my Palm Pre on occation is due to the speed of the Palm Pre, for some reason my Palm Pre has been acting very slow and all the functionality on the device has been slow. Restarting the Palm Pre mobile phone seems to fix the problem at least temporarily.

Here are the 4 steps needed to restart your Palm Pre

1. Press the center button.
2. Open up “Device Info”.
3. If you want a partial reset tap “PARTIAL ERASE” twice. Doing this erases all data on your phone (except your music, videos, photos, etc.)
4. If you want a full reset (proceed with caution, and backup all your data first), then tap “FULL ERASE” twice.

Be careful when doing step 4 as it will do a FULL ERASE!!
