Removing the Sim Hard Resets...mith or not?

[sergeantash]

I have searched here but can't find the answer anywhere but... - O2 activated my Sim card apparently 24 hours ago yet my new 3G sim still isn't working in my XDA Exec - therefore I'm assuming the salesperson took the Sim Card serial number down incorrectly.

Today the sales girl on the phone asked me to reread it, but a day later I've now customised my XDA Exec, installed apps etc, and remember reading somewhere that removing the battery and sim hard resets back to factory defaults...is this correct or not?

No.

Thanks! Is there a limit on the time that you can leave it without the battery attached?

[CouchPotato]

No limit, because the exec has persitent storage. So everything ist stored in flash.
Just give it some seconds in sleep mode after closing the device to write the last changed data from RAM to PS (Persistent storage eg. internal flash).

You have all the time you need to change battery and SIM-card.
When you switch back on everything is there again. :)

when changing the sim all that occurs is a soft reset due to the battery being removed. I love persistant storage, i can swap sims to my hearts content.
