Just because I'm curious--Turn Off/On vs Soft Reset

[sprintgirl]

"soft reset" "shut down turn on" "battery out in power up" are all the same. Also a faster way to soft reset is turning the radio off and back on. same thing. that is why on android when u update the prl the radio disables and enables. you would most likely conserve the same amount of battery in airplane mode (radio off) as powering down. on standby the phone uses hardly any power at all. kind of like asking...does my car use more gas turning off and then on or leaving it running for a minute while you run in someplace. *Not saying to leave your vehicles unattended and am not responsible for GTA* just an example.

yea, but turning the radio off and on doesnt do anything to running programs. a batt pull or soft reset will kill programs, thus the phone running smoother/faster. after a radio "soft reset" the phone will act like you had it in airplane mode.

and to the OP, no offense, but why have a phone if you always leave it in your car?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Just for clarification, when I meant I turn the phone off, I don't mean just the radio. I mean, using the power button on the top, left hand side of the phone, so it's completely off. No phone, no calendar, no power.

And, finally, for Piranah. Trust me, I wish I could bring my phone into work. I have it becuase I love it and I'm an overly organized individual. Unfortunately, because of my work, I can't bring it.


It seems like the general concensus is that I'm just imagining that the phone runs faster after a soft reset.

wow, couldn't imagine a job these days where phones are off limits, i would be worried about leaving a phone in a hot car all day. eventually i think it would damage it (at least where i live).

when you turn the phone off properly, it will boot up 'normal'. but via reset or battery, the phone was turned off 'unexpectely' so during boot, the registry will get defragmented, ect...
