How do you do it? and when should you do it?

Battery pull trick = pull the battery out for 10 secs. then put it back in.. it reboots the phone..

Use as option 1 to fix any issues you may have.
If that doesnt work.. its something else.

Yep. With the phone on, remove the battery cover and pull out the battery. The phone will shut off (obviously). Then put the battery back in and replace the cover. The phone will boot up.

This is normally the best way to fix any abnormalities, and works even when it seems like it shouldn't. So, to answer your question about when, pull the battery any time something strange starts to happen.

I've been using my 9700 for over two weeks [light to moderate use] and so far nothing has happened that requires or even suggests the need for a pull. I'll give it a go at the end of the month just as a precaution...

ALT + right SHIFT + DEL seems to work for me to re-boot the phone for a soft pull. It takes about 5 seconds for it to engage

I use the app QuickPull and have it reset every night... Works like a champ.

It can also be used to free up app memory ;)
