Soft reset works fine on my dstt but I stopped bothering with it after discovering some game I was playing occasionally got a little buggy if played after soft resetting but was fine after a fresh power up. Haven't missed it to be honest. The power button is right there and it takes just a few seconds to power cycle. Sorry I don't have an actual solution for you, but just try and not worry about it and it won't seem like a big deal before long.
