I was hoping to accomplish this by injecting the alt-shift-del key combination. 

After some research I came to know that it is not possible to inject such combination.

Is there any other way to reset the device programatically?

Have you looked at

Device.requestPowerOff( true )

[CharlesMorse]

I can use that API as a last resort.

But I am really looking for a way to soft-reset the device.

Anybody?

I picked up the following code from someone on the Old forum, sorry don't remember who so can't give them credit. 

Not sure why I have commented out the request to POWER_ON.  I've not looked at the code in a year.  So this code, as supplied, might not work.  But I remember playing with it, and without much effort, I could get it to do a soft reset.  However this is NOT enough to install applications, so didn't do what I wanted.  But if all you want is a soft reset, then hopefully it will work for you.

public static final void powerCycle (int delayToPowerOn) {
    int timeDelay = 1000 * delayToPowerOn;
    ApplicationManager myMgr = ApplicationManager.getApplicationManager();
    ApplicationDescriptor myDsc = ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor(); 

    // myMgr.setCurrentPowerOnBehavior(myDsc.POWER_ON);

    Date myDate = new Date();

    myMgr.scheduleApplication(myDsc, myDate.getTime()+timeDelay, true);
    net.rim.device.api.system.Device.requestPowerOff( true); 

}

Thanks very much for the code snippet.  Going to be very useful if I have to go with power recycle option.

I am still looking for a way to accomplish the equivalant of what happens when you press alt-shft-del  (ie soft reset)

^^ bump ^^

Is there a way to programmtically do the equivalant of pulling the battery?  I am looking for the kind of reboot that happens after reinstalling some apps.  Not the soft-reset (alt-caps-del).

Thanks in advance.

Use net.rim.device.api.system.CodeModuleManager.promptForResetIfRequired()

Is there a programatic solution to execute a soft reset (alt+right shift + del)?

[tbilisoft]

Check the following classes to emulate soft reset key sequence:

net.rim.device.api.system.EventInjector
net.rim.device.api.system.EventInjector.KeyEvent

[MSohm]

The EventInjector can not be used to inject 3 simultaneous key presses (Alt+Cap+Del).  You can do 2 (Alt+Del or Cap+Del), but not three.
