So I updated my Curve to the new version 5. I noticed that there was no more Keyboard Lock/Password Lock. From my previous software, it was named Keyboard Lock and I set it as one of my convenience keys. After the update, I noticed that it no longer existed. A friend of mine purchased a brand new Curve 8520 with the update already installed of course. She had the Keyboard Lock but it was named Password Lock instead. I have been searching for ways to get this feature back to my Blackberry because I feel it is more convenient rather than the "silent/mute mode" button located on the top of my device. The shortcut to lock my phone which is the "A" on my keyboard quickly "locks" my keyboard only
When I use the shortcut lock, my phone locks the keypad, but instead i want it to be the password lock. I used my dad's phone and tried his shortcut lock and it works on his phone. what do i do to lock my phone using the password lock?
I went to advanced options and updated my wireless and now when i lock my phone i have to unlock by hitting mute.does anyone know how i can get my old lock feature back ( * + send)
Downloaded OS 5.0.508 and now lock icon is missing. I can hold the A button and put it in what seems to be sleep mode, but my name and info does not show up on the home screen anymore. And you now push the mute button to unlock the keyboard. These are the only changes I have noticed. I liked the other way better.
After I upgraded my 8530 to the new OS last week (pushed down by Big Red), my Keyboard Lock function disappeared! I can't find ANYWHERE where I can lock my keyboard now! What gives?
I recently took charge of a Blackberry Curve 8520 - I noticed that after I had linked it to my PC via Blackberry Desktop Manager, the icon for the keyboard lock was removed from the menu. I've looked in the obvious places in Options to try and re-instate the icon but can't seem to see anywhere which allow me to do ths. I've also searched for hidden items but nothing seems to be hidden.

i have a BB 8520 and i recently updated the os, when i restarted the berry my key board lock was gone. Is there anyway i can get it back or get another one without paying for it?
I recently upgraded 8520 handset to device software vers 5.0 - everything fine except that the icon I use the most - "Keyboard Lock" icon has disappeared. Looked all over - hidden icons etc - no luck.
My phone is not accepting the keyboard lock password, it says u should type 'blackberry'. Now i cannot unlock my phone. Is there a way to get it unlocked. Think somebody fiddle with my phone and maxed all ten attempts to unlock it.
I recently installed v5.0 on my Curve 8520 and can't find the icon for Keyboard Lock.Have already looked using "Show All" in the Home screen and all the folders I have to no avail.Even looked through the various setup / configuration menus and options and still couldn't find anything...
I just downloaded the new OS when I plugged my phone to the computer... it sounded like a good idea to upgrade everything but I do not like how the UNlock function is only through the mute button now. I mean, if I wanted to just lock/unlock my phone that way with the push of only one button, I could use the standby (mute) button and press on it again to unlock it before. I really liked the previous version where you had to take the extra step of pushing two buttons (A and Send) to unlock it. Because I unlock my phone by accident a lot when it's in my purse and I reach for something and accidentally press the top button (mute button). Any ideas if Blackberry is planning on a new OS version soon that would restore the old locking/unlocking system? I do not necessarily want to downgrade to a previous OS version but I might have to as the "easy" one-button only unlocking option is not working for me.
I used to have the keyboard lock option set for my right conversion key. I installed the new OS update and poof.conversion key is nothing now, and when I went to reset it, I cannot even find a keyboard lock on my phone anywhere! Please help, I'm calling people all the time, not good!I have a new curve and Sprint, by the way!
I had the sprint store download 5.0 for me cause my phone locked up while trying it at home. Anyway my wife is still running the 4.6 software and I'm running 5.0 with my update I can't find my keyboard lock icon. She doesn't want 5.0 if she can't lock the keyboard.Any suggestions?
After the new OS 5 update, I noticed there was no "Keyboard Lock" convience key. Instead, it is a silent/play key on my Blackbery Curve 8520. I was just wondering if it's no longer included or if I could just download it on my DM.!
After Upgrade of OS from 4.6 to 5.0 keyboard lock icon is gone from menu. BB also doesn't respond to lock button at the top of the handheld.Does anybody know what happened and what is remedy.I also have Bold 9700 and afraid to perform OS update.Please advise.
I've had this Blackberry Curve for around a couple of months and now the right half of the keypad (apart from the p/@ key) is now locked or not working. The keys affected are y u i o, h j k l del, b n m s and their associated alt symbols. Have I inadvertently locked it? I've tried the unlock number shortcut but this hasn't made any difference

Since I updated to 5.00681 the keyboard lock icon has disappeared.I have looked into all the other applications without result But did I not buy that with my new unupdated phone? Or can I do some thing in desk top manager to get KBL icon back?
I 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?
Just a quick question; which is better for saving battery when my Blackberry is sat in my pocket - Keyboard Lock or Sleep Mode? I don't use the holster. Also, what are the main apps that kill battery on the BB and any tips to save battery?
I 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???
I need a way to lock and unlock the keyboard. I have searched a number of websites for an answer to my dilema and it seems several methods are mentioned but none work for me. I need to lock the keyboard when phone is in my pocket.
I am not a blackberry wizŠ. This is the 1st BB I have owned.. my issue: I upgraded to the new software version 5.0.0.508 and now I suddenly have lost the keyboard/pad lock function. Where did it go?? And how do I get it back?? This phone travels in my pocket, I don't need accidental dials.
I recently got a Curve 8900, and I can only lock/unlock it by pressing the top button.On my brother's Curve.he's able to lock/unlock by pressing A+Send.For the life of me I can't figure out how to get mine to do the same thing.I went to the "Tips and Tricks" section for my phone,and it actually says that the A+Send option is the standard way to lock/unlock.Now I'm confused.Please help.
