This is like when someone says "Press Alt-F4 to do something brilliant with your software" and then it exits. I tried this, and it works! Brilliant. However, for those who can't remember the key combo, there's also an app called QuickPull which simulates the battery pull. It's available for free, or paid for with a few more features.

No more taking out the battery! Reboot Your BlackBerry Without Removing the Battery Any experienced BlackBerry user knows that it's occasionally necessary to reboot your device after installing a new app, to solve performance problems, refresh your smartphone's memory or fix other minor issues. One way to do so is to remove your battery door and pull the power pack. After the battery is returned to the device, your BlackBerry reboots. This gets the job done, but it's time consuming to power down the device and then remove and replace the battery--and your battery door won't fit as snuggly if you're constantly taking it off. The quickest and easiest way to reboot is via another BlackBerry keyboard shortcut. To reboot, simply hit ALT, RIGHT SHIFT and DELETE. The RIGHT SHIFT key is found on the bottom right corner of the BlackBerry keyboard and DELETE key is also on the right hand side and has the letters "DEL" on its face. After pressing these three keys in tandem, your device powers down, your LED indicator turns red for a few seconds and the reboot process commences.

I have a couple of users whose devices will stop communicating with the BES from time to time and a battery pull will fix it. But before I try that, I try a "reconcile now" and I try regenerating the encryption key. Neither of them work, but when I reset the device, all the emails come through. Anything I could check as to why they just stop communicating with the server? Thanks in advance.
