How often do you perform a system reset? Do you think it is effective?:)

A system reset (warm reset), is a reset that puts your device into safe mode. It disables hacks and system extensions. This allows you to remove programs that put your device into a reset loop, or cannot be removed otherwise. It usually involves hitting the reset button while holding another button (not the hard reset button). It may be the left or up button, but I cant be sure on a Tungsten device.

A warm reset (akin to safe mode) is pressing and holding the "up" button while using the pin reset button, at least on my T3 and T5.

As far as a normal (pin) reset. I only do it when my device is acting strangely or not acting at all. I don't do it just for kicks.
