Must soft reset often?

Anyone else have to soft reset at least once a day? My touch pro freezes and I can't get it to do anything. Today it wouldn't respond at all so I had to soft reset

! Another issue I am having is I get the "cannot complete call error" about every other day (while signal is strong) and either I can't call out for several mins or until I soft rest. I am thinking about returning it to BB, but I want to make sure my device is the issue because I don't have any of the other issues frequently discussed on this forum. Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated!!

Are you running a custom rom or stock?

It's pretty rare my phone makes it 24 hours without being soft reset at least once. I always check it and hope I see it over one day of uptime. Last night I almost made it -- 23 hours and some change. Started up Skyfire to watch a show off Hulu before going to sleep, but it wouldn't load. Oh well, I still had SprintTV. Started that, worked fine, the "Press the center button to keep watching" after 5 minutes came up, but my center button wouldn't respond, nor were any of the hardware keys. My video stopped, I got frustrated and tried to get the hardware keys to work, but they wouldn't. At like 23 hours and 45 minutes I soft reset it to get the keys working again.

Generally, I end up soft resetting it because I'm making changes to it, or something freezes. I haven't been experiencing the call issues you say you have.

I was able to go 3-4 days between soft resets when I was running Hibby's 1.7. Right now I am running stock, flashed back while waiting for my replacement, and I have to reset about every other night. The reason I am resetting that often now is due to my task manager on the today screen disappearing after awhile but I think this is due to SPB mobile shell. Other than that it is still running great when I do reset it.

Wow! I rarely soft reset unless I have to after I install an app that ask to reset. What programs/apps you guys running cause I do a lot at a time n it don't have to load or freeze!

My phone soft resets every night due to SPB backup. But if I didnt have that installed I wouldnt really need to.

Just uninstalled nueGPSSecurity to switch to Smartphone Tracker (which isn't working properly by the way), and it required a restart on the uninstall. It'll probably need an uninstall removing Smartphone tracker too. Installed the HD Manila to try it recently. The extra tabs caused too many issues, removed them -- soft reset. A few hours later noticed that my settings tab still said comm manager, reinstalled the HD manila -- many soft resets.

Lots of things seem to require it.

I have had my TP since early November and I rarely need to soft reset. I only have after in install or uninstall, I never have because of freezing or any other problems.
