easy way to reboot

[z71kris]

Is there an easy way to reboot the bolt software wise? I want to look at one at VZW, but the one I looked today lagged like crazy, so I wanted to reboot it make sure most of the crap was gone from people playing with it all day long, all the browsing history, and everything from how many days it has been since it has been rebooted...whats the best way for me to get rid of the crap from store, so it would kinda be mine for the 5 mins I played with it.,....

You can't get rid of the bloat ware that VZW puts on the device, but rebooting is easy... hold down the power button on the top right side of the device for a second or two then you will see a menu with reboot as an option... select it and wait for a minute or two for it reboot.

I understand I cant get rid of the bloatware(at least on the store version), but if I hold the power button down, and then choose reboot, that will clear most apps that have been left on, and then I can go to the browser and clear the cache, is there anything else I can do to clear memory so I can have a close to real representation of what a new one would be...

You could just go into the settings and do a factory reset

at the store...hmmm, anything I have to set back to use it? Sim card activation or anything stupid.....

I don't believe there's anything funky except to skip through the account setup.

yeah, just account setup, which you would just skip everything anyways...

Your not going to get a real life experience in the store anyways... they are more than likely fairly close to a tower... but if you reboot, and want to check the browser, just go into the settings of the browser and clear the cache... after all your browser after you use it for a while will be just as bloated and full as the one you pick up in the store unless you clear the cache.

After a reboot the device should be fairly clean and responsive.

I live less then 5 miles from the store by the crow, so that should be "almost" a non issue...thanks for the info..
