Performing a SOFT reset on the BlackBerry device Performing a soft reset stops all applications on the BlackBerrydevice by pressing the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys. A soft resetre-establishes communication between the BlackBerry device and thecomputer.
Note: This does not apply to the BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone.
Performing a DOUBLE-SOFT reset on the BlackBerry device Performing a double-soft reset stops all applications on theBlackBerry device and is nearly the equivalent of a hard reset. Timinghowever is critical. Perform a soft reset by pressing the ALT+RIGHTSHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys. The screen will go blank. When the screen is nolonger black, press the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys again. Youshould then see another blank screen followed by an hour glass.
Note: This does not apply to the BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone.
Performing a HARD reset on the BlackBerry device The first step in troubleshooting a network, software or hardware error is often to perform a hard reset. With Java® based devices, thisis accomplished by removing the battery, while the BlackBerry device ispowered on. Hold the battery out for about 30 seconds, and replace. TheBlackBerry device will reboot.
Note: A hard reset on a C++ based device is accomplished by pressing the Reset button.
Note: To perform a hard reset on a RIM models 850, 857, 950,or 957 device, insert the end of a paperclip inside the small hole onthe back of the handheld.

Konka r8a phone wont turn on only about 4 months old
I found this information in the manual.
"If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a "soft" reset instead of a hard/factory reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone."

If this doesn't fix the issue you can try a hard reset. A hard reset would erase all information and data on your phone.

PTT SCREEN HAS UNABLE TO ADD CONTACT MESSAGE:
I had this problem and we needed to contact our cellular company to verify settings. After some time looking into the problem they said it was a hardware malfunction and swapped phones for us. I think there must be a solution to this problem that the cell representatives did not know about.
