upon updating i notice that the "key lock" key and the "standy key" located on top of the phone is not functioning anymore. Unfortunately the phone does not go onto standby mode when pressing the mute key. The mute key does however mute a telephone conversation.
View 9 RepliesI updated my OS on my 8900 to the latest version yesterday 5.0.0.681 Most of it looks the same, however I used to use the lock ley (top left ) on my handset, to password lock my unit before putting it in my pocket. Now I find this only put the unit into and out of standby. Does anyone know why this has been changed? Can it be changed back? I am really angry that this usefull feature has been removed without the ability to customise my handset and put it on.Why could it not have been an option to change what this key does? From a quick search on Google I see lots of other people have the same problem, and some are even paying to download aps to fix the problem!! For now I have changed my side convience key to activate the password lock, so all I have to do is keep remembering to press side button instead of top button. I cant even find anywhere that I can contact RIM about this, and request they reinstate the lock key. Very disapointed with the way this has been handled and the lack of support / advice / comment from RIM.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHere's the results of my 5.0 OS upgrade using the recently released Sprint package:
1. Phone boot time, from battery out to usable (home screen icons displayed, etc): 3 minutes, 15 seconds! YES!!!
2. Threaded SMS messaging is nice!
3. Phone doesn't feel any "faster".
4. Being able to set the phone to automatically adjust for time zones is nice--I don't recall that being an option before and has always bugged me.
5. QuickPull Free didn't work at first. Had to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
6. Standby button no longer putting phone into standby.Still works for mute/unmute though.
Of all of these, item #6 is the only one that bugs me a bit.I think the standby operation still works in general, as when I put it into the holster, the screen did turn off, but I don't use the holster and usually "lock" the phone by holding down the mute button to go into standby.
So, does anyone know if the Lock button does pretty much the same thing as Standby, or is there really a big savings in battery life by going into standby mode? As long as battery life isn't too adversely affected, I'm pretty sure that I'll stick with this release. Hopefully the next OS upgrade will restore the button... unless someone here knows how to fix the issue now!
My problem: My 8310 will not standby/lock when it is holstered. What I've tried: The obvious, Options > Security > General Settings > Lock Upon Holstering = Yes. I will put it in the holster wait a good 30 seconds - 1 minute, then push on the holster to hit a letter and see if the address book opens up and it does (from my understanding it shouldn't if locked) My guess is maybe I just have a junk holster (it is magnetic) or maybe something with the battery.I have searched and just couldn't find much, this forum is great and full of knowledge so figured i'd give it a shot.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded my software to the newest 5.0 version. However, it seems like the ability to lock the keyboard is gone!When I press the top left hand button (lock key shortcut), nothing happens. Tried doing a hard and soft reset. Still doesn't work.I tot that my button was spoilt, so I programmed QL to have a lock device shortcut. But guess what? Nothing happened either! I am aware that I can press and hold the A key to do a pseduo lock, but that is not what I want.Anyone else facing the same problem?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI upgraded the other night to the V5 and I'm really not that happy with it. I can't stand the new lock feature. I also seem to be having a problem when I lock the phone. After pressing the top left button or holding "A" I can't get the phone out of lock without holding some of the buttons down for like 6-7 seconds. When I try to press the send or end key the screen doesn't even come on. Even when I press the top left lock button. I have to hold it in and it's REALLY annoying. I'm seriously considering downgrading. Anybody else having this problem???

Before the update, the two buttons on the top of the phone worked as follows:
Right button: Locked the phone (have to enter password)
Left button: Locked keyboard
After the update, the top left button locks the keyboard, but the top right button does nothing. This happened after the update.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to (according to my phone) version 5.0.0.1067, platform 5.20.96. Since this upgrade I can no longer use my browser to do anything. It shows at the bottom that it's "requesting" the site, then it changes to "loading" and gets stuck there forever. The blue bar at the bottom indicating how much has loaded will go all the way over to the other side, in about 15 minutes, but never loads anything.
I haven't changed any settings with the browser. I have icons for my email and for facebook and can still receive updates/emails so it's even more confusing to me as my internet is obviously working.
I apologize if this has been answered already, I went through 5 pages of questions in the forum and had not seen anything yet. I've tried taking the battery out about 10 times, I've cleared all of the history, cache and cookie cache and noticed that there isn't any "pushed" content.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI updated my BB 9700 to v 5.0.0.545 (Platform 5.1.0.140) and subsequently pressing on the "mute" button no longer turns on/off "standby mode.
I tried the mute button during a phone call and that works fine. So I don't think the issue is hardware. Plus it was all fine before the device update.
I just upgraded from my old Curve 8330 to the Tour 9630, both on Verizon, and I couldn't be happier with my new device -- except for one thing. The Curve had a great "standby" function I could use at night, in which the phone would lock its keyboard and effectively shut down, but still be able to receive calls if one came in. This also saved lots of battery power. After hours' worth of mashing the top "lock" and "mute" buttons on the Tour, and searching through the internal menus, I can't seem to find a similar mode on my new phone.
First: If there's a thread about this already somewhere else, I beg your pardon; I'd be grateful for a link and I'll be on my way there. But if not, does anybody know whether some devices just do not have a standby mode anymore as part of OS 5, or whether there might be something wrong with my phone because its mute key won't activate standby mode?
The key lock button the top left works, but, at least on my Curve, the key lock and standby were two very different things -- I'd lock the keyboard when I put the phone in my pocket, but I'd put it on standby before bed every night. Does key-lock mode on the Tour replace standby?
One of the very handy features on my E63 was the ability to begin entering a contact name when at the standby screen, and a list of matching choices would pop up as I entered the letters. I could then select from the list using the D-pad and make a call, send a message, etc.That function seems to have stopped working, and I can't tell the reason why. Unless I didn't notice the elimination of the feature months ago when I installed the latest firmware (don't think that's the case here), this doesn't appear to be the result of a firmware update, new software install, etc.Any suggestions out there, shy of the royal pain of doing a reset and having to reinstall software and reconfigure/recustomize my phone?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off, let me just say that I am very pleasantly surprised at how well the ICS upgrade went for my Atrix2. First off, the upgrade itself went smoothly and I lost no data. Second, the phone seems much snappier in all respects. Third, I like some of the new features that ICS provides.
One question I do have is whether it is possible to change the applications that are available on the lock screen? For example, I use a popular third party app for my camera (CameraZoom) and it would be nice to be able to access it from the lock screen instead of the stock camera.
