This is probably the first app review that I’ve ever posted that doesn’t include any screenshots, but with JBAK’s great little freeware utility Reboot there really isn’t much to take a screenshot of. Reboot is a very simple little app that does just what you’d think - it reboots your S60 3rd device. Now I have to admit, I’ve laughed to myself before when I’ve read posts asking for this functionality. Seriously… How hard is it to hold down the power button twice?!? The truth is however, that I use this app all of the time now that it’s available.
S60 3rd is an excellent platform but most devices are already starved for RAM before you even consider all of the memory leaks that plague them. The only way to clear up your RAM is to reboot the phone and even with my new E61i I find myself rebooting at least once every other day. I’m less bothered by this now that I have Reboot though, I must say.
There are a few apps that can reboot your device for you but Reboot is by far the most convenient - it really could not be easier to use! Once installed, simply click on the Reboot icon and your device will reboot. That’s it! I have Reboot added to my active standby list and it really does make my life easier. Now when my E61i is getting a bit low on RAM I just click over to the Reboot icon and then drop my phone back into my pocket and forget about it. Then I’m back up to 20MB+ of RAM before I know it…
Reboot works perfectly on most S60 3rd devices but in the event that it doesn’t work for you, try editing the file C:\system\data\Reboot.cnf to read “ekern” instead of “efile” (with a text editor). That should work out any problems with stubborn devices.
