It was working fine today, then all of sudden while in my holster, I heard a beep and when I tried to put my password in, my keyboard was locked. I tried using the * plus Send (green phone button), tried the hidden lock button on the top left of the phone and tried to take my battery out (three times). I can use the scroll bar and the prompt to unlock appears, but I cannot unlock the keyboard.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had my phone for a couple of months now and it's been fine. The last software update caused the phone screen to go dark every time I turned on the keyboard lock, which is ok. But now - often, but not always - I can't get the phone to unlock again. I can activate the screen by pressing the Blackberry menu button but it just tells me the phone is locked. Pressing the keyboard lock/unlock button does nothing. I have to either disconnect the battery or connect the phone to a power supply to unlock it. Seems a bit strange to me!

View 17 Replies View RelatedI am working with a user who recently switched from a 9550 to a 9700 (verizon to at&t) for coverage reasons.Whenever he unlocks his keyboard (using the lock button on the top left of the device), he must enter his password to access his phone. The security timeout settings on his phone are set to 1 hour, but even if he locks the keyboard for 5 seconds, he still has to enter his password when unlocking it.The only time that the keyboard will lock and unlock without requiring a password is when it is entered/removed from the holster.We are using BES.I cannot replicate this issue with the 9650 or 9550. Unfortunately I don't have a 9700 at my disposal to play with.Is this a normal feature for the 9700?I've checked his encryption settings (disabled).We cannot disable the password function (mandated by BES policy).The issue is not that he has to enter his password, it's that he would prefer that a password not be needed unless the security timeout has expired.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have forgotten the unlock code for my BB curve 8530. It was freezing up and after hard restart would only go to device locked screen and allow me to switch betwe3en the choices but then would not go to screen i chose. Have downloaded the desktop software and been prompted for the unlock code. Should i have some confirmation code documentation that may have been sent to me, because i cant seem to find any. I bought the phone used and cant remember if i had to have the code to activate it or not this phone now belongs to my teenage daughter and we all know what a teenager w/o a working phone is like to be around!

I have had my 9700. I just noticed today that the sliver pieces that separate each row of keys are fragile. I have one piece that is totally broken on both sides under the Talk and End button, another broken one under the Q and the lower left one below the Z key. On all of them but bottom one, they were originally hard to see. Not sure how I found them but upon closer inspection, more and more were broken. The bottom one actually sticks up some.
My only concern is that they are going to get worse and totally break off and then free for all on dust and dirt in actual keyboard. These silver strips look real cheap. Anyone else have broken ones in their keyboard? How have you solved the issue? Can they easliy replace just the keyboard at the tech center? I have seen OEM keyboards for sale too but not sure I want to try that myself. I am going to call At&t but not sure if they will do a warranty swap for this. My wife has the same phone and hers are all fine and intact. I think parts of this phone were made on a budget. Bad design with the keyboard.
im using a bb bold 9000, and after a years use, the keyboard light seems to be getting dimmer and dimmer. any suggestions on how to get it back like the way it was?
View 8 Replies View RelatedOf the three blackberrys i have owned and used (9000, 9700 and 9800) i have to say i think the 9000's keyboard is by far the best of them all. I am on the 9700 right now and really miss my 9000's keyboard. It felt so much more roomy and comfortable to type on. I wish they would make a larger phone like the 9000 again. IMO it had the best keyboard, best sounding speakerphone and of course that nice large screen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a new Bold 9700 from T-Mobile running stock OS and once in awhile I get the message the keyboard has locked itself, soo, I then have to unlock it by pressing the two prescribed keys. Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a fairly fresh Blackberry convert and I'm absolutely loving my Blackberry Bold 9000 and having an amazing keyboard that worked extremely well, for a bit.
Lately though, the keyboard is WAY too sensitive all of a sudden, many times while I send a message I have to constantly correct errors where I thumb a key and it responds by typing that letter twice. The same exact thing is happening with my menu key, I press the menu key and I quite literally am "moving" an icon around my menu screen as it registers that I hit the key twice.
I've had this Blackberry for TWO weeks and though I'm loving it this is a serious problem and starting to get on my nerves. I contemplated thinking if it was just my typing but this happens so subtlety I ruled that out fairly fast. I really have no clue what's going on and tried playing around with the "key rate" settings to no avail. Unfortunately a return isn't really an option as I bought this mobile new online and am starting a contract with my company soon.
Since my last software update on my BB 9700 I can't lock my keyboard.Now I have v5.0.0.593 (Platform 5.1.0.147).The Icon "Lock keyboard" is not longer on the desktop and I can't find an alternate to lock my keyboard.Why? I want lock my keyboard.What can I do?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy new Bold 9900 has a bug that interferes with typing. It occurs in all applications (eg SMS messaging, typing in the web browser, email, logging on to an application, etc. The specific problem is:
1. when i press "p" it types as "xp" - eg "happy" comes out as "haxpxpy"
2. when i press "x" it types as "xp" - eg "hex" comes out as "hexp"
3. when i press "b" it types as "b" then "enter" - ie "big" comes "big"
4. pressing the "enter" key generates a "b" followed by and enter.
- I have the latest software on the device.
- I have performed the battery out while powered on reset.
- I can't call any blackberry tech support (is there a number or email address?)
- the problem came after my first day of use; it went away temporarily (for 1 day) after I reinstalled the asian character support applications on the device using the Desktop Software on my Mac. It then returned and I am living with it. Unable to text, email, type in passwords to websites...essentially, the phone is useless.
The phone is currently locked (security code) and it is asking me to type in "blackberry." Unfortunately, the "a" button does not work and I am unable to unlock the phone. I have tried a hard reset (removing the battery) but have not been successful.
