Help Manually start com.samsung.internal?

It's clear I'm not alone, when it comes to the loss of network comms on my Moment. I've just resigned myself to the fact that I have to get used to power-cycling the phone when things go bad, and hope against hope that 2.1 is our miracle cure.

But I'm looking for a quicker way to restart my phone, instead of doing the off/on thing. When the phone stops being a phone, the process "com.samsung.internal" has likely crashed. I found where I can force-stop that application (and just about anything else), but I haven't seen where it's stored, in an attempt to manually start it. Can it be done? If so, how?

Thanks.
 
I don't think that's the process we need to restart. I killed it with a task manager and the radio still works fine.

I was just wondering about the same thing as the OP...

Mine did that "internal.process yada yada" force close pop up twice. The second time it went into lockup.

Can you double check on that IOWA?
 
If relevant, I also always try to experiment with what could restore my service. I pretty much try to kill anything that seems to restart the network service. Along with the com.samsung.internal process, I notice that killing the Dialer and/or the Sprint Updater (if open) jars the phone, flashes the LED soft keys and does the little "bloodleoop" sound that it does when going in and out of service.

I noticed that one time service actually DID come back was when:
Got a Data lock
Messed around and tried to kill Phone, com.samsung.internal
then got frustrated and forgot about it... was driving and went through a spot where I lost service. When I came out of that spot, my EV was restored.
So, maybe the solution is just to stay within a few blocks of that spot.. too bad it's like 40mi away from my place.
