Oh god don't remind me. You'd hear a notification for a text message, unlock the device and you'd see

> JAVA MESSAGE ERROR

Which required removing the battery to do a hard reset (which took about 120 seconds).

I used to have an auto-reboot app that scheduled hard resets to free memory and reduce crashes. So glad to be off that platform now.

I thought there was an OS feature that did that. I remember scheduling a reboot nightly at 3am. I loved that phone at the time, but hate it in hindsight.
