Blackberry - How to reset your frozen Blackberry - Step-by-Step

Frozen Blackberry's can be annoying. I know that my RIM Blackberry in that past has locked up or frozen on me a number of times. Some of the symptoms have included unresponsiveness to the wheel and the keyboard, a screen freezing with the hourglass icon, and 3rd party applications like Google Talk just freeze.

In addition, on several occasions my Blackberry's signal has been locked on GSM, GPRS, and will never ends up connecting to the EDGE network. What that has meant is that I could receive phone calls while on the other network services like GSM & GPRS, but not receive any data services.

However, there is a pretty simple way to fix this, or do a soft-reset on your Blackberry when it freezes. All you need to do is hold down ALT + CAP + DEL and your Blackberry will reboot itself. Most of the time, it successfully solves the issue. Sounds like a Windows computer, right? See the picture below for the details.

Wow! This worked great and so simple. I thought I was going to have to take out the battery - this is faster and so much easier!
