Hi
i have a SE P1i for more than a year now. i am in India on an Idea network. recently i had installed the exchange active sync for which i had to remove the blackberry exchange which was provided with the phone.

after i realized that exchange active sync wont work, i un installed it and put the BB exchange back. ever since, the phone keeps restarting at regular intervals. sometimes twice a day saying the phone restarted to improve performance.

have i messed up with the files in the software? what do i do now? it so happens that sometimes i do not take a look at my phone for hours, when in calls or meetings, i would not know if it did a reboot and was waiting for me to select the mode phone or flight mode. to get back on the network.

any suggested help on this would be appreciated

I'd suggest your best option is to do do a master reset or reformat of the internal disk. You will lose all your data & installed apps by doing this, so make sure you syc all your contacts etc. to Outlook first. You could use the backup software in the pcsuite, but there is a chance that whatever has become corrupted will be put back on your phone when you restore.

thanks AD
i think i will bear with the restarts. there are way too many licenced applications that i have installed for a master reset or a internal disk format

thanks for the help but

I used to have these restarts all the time after I debranded my P1i from Voda. I did all the shit, master reset and internal format, reflashing,everything.Still restarting a lot. The curios thing was that it wasn't like this after the debrand exactly , but after some months of usage. The only thing I could track to related to the restarts was the usage of Opera browser.The more I used it, the sooner the phone restarted. So, I guess it's, again, memory related- the leaks they never took care of and they never will,as they are bankrupt now.
So I replaced it. That was the only solution.After so many years I went to the dark side-BlackBerry Bold and I never looked back!
