I'm assuming that the QuickPull application is doing something else to trigger a reset, since simply calling a Device.restart(); isn't possible.

Can someone please tell me what are the conditions that will trigger a soft reset?

I've noticed that when uninstalling applications that sometimes a reset is required. I'm assuming that's because the module being uninstalled is still running.

If a module is set to run when device starts (autostart in JDE project settings) then when you remove/uninstall this module - the device is going to restart. It is 100%.

uuuh, sneaky workaround - respect!

Have used CodeModuleGroup and CodeModuleManager to create a cod programmatically and uninstall after running it. The device gets rebooted 100% times on all OS versions.

Could you post some/all of the code for the rest of us so we don't have to go thru the pain no our own...

Considering the interest in this subject - why doesn't BB simply expose the API to do this?

[osm]

It don't works on BB 8900 curve. Any ideas?

[peter_strange]

The process documented should work.  Do you want to show us your code so we can check it?

[osm]

This is my dummy class:

import net.rim.device.api.system.Application;

public class Restart extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Restart().enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    
}

and restart method:

    private void restart() {
        try {
            byte[] cod = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(getClass()
                    .getResourceAsStream("restart.cod"));
            // create new module
            CodeModuleGroup cmGroup = new CodeModuleGroup("RestartApp");
            int newHandle = CodeModuleManager.createNewModule(cod.length, cod,
                    cod.length);
            if (newHandle != 0) {
                int savecode = CodeModuleManager.saveNewModule(newHandle, true);
                if (savecode == CodeModuleManager.CMM_OK_MODULE_OVERWRITTEN)
                cmGroup.addModule("restart");
                cmGroup.store();
                
                int[] hand = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandles();
                int handleForDelete = 0;
                for (int i = 0; i < hand.length; i++) {
                    if (CodeModuleManager.getModuleName(hand[i]).equals(
                            "restart")) {
                        handleForDelete = hand[i];
                        break;
                    }
                }
                ApplicationDescriptor appDesc[] = CodeModuleManager
                        .getApplicationDescriptors(handleForDelete);
                ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager().runApplication(
                        appDesc[0], false);
                CodeModuleManager.deleteModuleEx(handleForDelete, true);
            }
            if (CodeModuleManager.isResetRequired())
                CodeModuleManager.promptForResetIfRequired();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }

Code looks OK, I will have a test later.

Is Restart marked as a System module and auto-started?

[osm]

Not, Restart is not system module or auto-started.
