Luna restart vs. full restart

prubin · 01/09/2010, 12:12 PM

What is the difference between a luna restart and a full restart? For example, if we need more memory do we need to do a full restart or will a luna restart do? Is the any reason to do a full restart instead of a luna restart?

Yeah that's a good question. I would like to know too.

Luna Restart is just restarting the OS (only software will restart). A full restart is a FULL restart. Meaning software AND hardware will turn off, and then turn on again. If you want more memory, you can just restart luna, but with all the problems and memory leaks NOT yet fixed by Palm, I myself do a full restart to be sure.

Restart Luna Like Logging Off PC

Full restart Like Restarting your PC

This is accurate and simple. i don't think a complicated explanation could put it much better for us simple folk

I've tested both during memory issues, both work. Luna restart is simply faster.

How do I do a Luna restart? Im only familiar with a full restart in the device info icon. Thanks

I don't know of any way to do this without Homebrew. Downloading Luna Manager from PreWare will give you the ability to do a Luna-only restart.

mrloserpunk · 01/11/2010, 01:49 PM

yeah that's the only way. Luna manager. I've tried simply restarting java.... Its helped with the browser a few times but not 3D games. Its inconclusive at this point. At least for me.

amjz · 01/11/2010, 02:04 PM

also there is a PATCH called: "advanced-reset-options.patch"

That patch adds a Luna Restart On holding the power button.

Is their ever a reason to do a java restart instead of a luna restart. i find that a luna restart takes about just as long as just hitting an regular restart

odontastic · 02/06/2010, 05:26 PM

Luna restart can also be initiated in the terminal by typing

Code:

pkill LunaSysMgr

netwrkr9 · 02/06/2010, 05:35 PM

I use JStop to clear memory.

Luna restart can also be done by ORANGE+SYM+R.

That's actually a full restart (the R stands for reboot).

A Luna restart is twice as fast as that.

No. That is a full restart of the phone software and hardware and it takes a LONG time.

A luna restart is software restart only and is MUCH faster.

EDIT: rlopin beat me to it

Irocdaspot513 · 02/07/2010, 02:28 AM

a luna restart will help 3d game up to a great start...did it last week when I was showin off my pre...was gettin too many cards msg and after luna restart I was able to load asphalt game

bdhu2001 · 02/07/2010, 05:38 AM

I have AutoCorrect edit installed and tap "activate changes" to do a Luna restart.

orizzle · 02/07/2010, 10:17 AM
