My phone keeps emailing and calling random people from my contacts, because I am carrying it in my back pocket. The phone is very easily unlocked accidentally as the unlock button sits on top of it, sticking out of the holster. I have even tried placing it upward down into the holster but it still easily unlocks through the holster.
What is the most efficient way to keep the the device locked for back pocket storage? I could set up a password, but as the number of bad password inputs is obviously limited, I also do not want to have accidental password input.
Is there a way to deactivate the unlock button on top and use a key combination instead? Or anything else?
I recently bought a 9360 Model REM71UW which came with no BIS,Friday morning I purchased this BIS and I received a message instructing me to remove and re-insert the battery in order for some files to be loaded.After I've done that first my trackpad would'nt respond and later all the keys now the phone is black in screen even though its on.I've tried almost every advice i saw in this support forum to no avail.
My daughter's BB Curve is password protected and it will not accept the password. Is there anyway to reset without losing the data or photo's that have not been backed up? Can the memory card be removed before resetting then reinstalled after? She has done 9 attempts (and yes, the password is the correct one LOL) now if she tries again, she will definitely lose everything.
I just upgraded OS5 on my 8520 but after upgrading I can't see keypad lock option anywhere. Before there was keypad lock icon in menu but its just vanished now and I even checked all the folders its nowhere. How can I get it back?
I've just upgraded my 8520 to 5.0.0.681 and can't find the keyboard lock anywhere. I used to have it assigned to the left button and it no longer gives me this option.
Can anyone explain what the difference is between keypad lock and standby on the curve 8520? I've trawled the website and they both seem to do the same. Which is better to use? Or am I missing the blindingly obvious here.

How i can activate the automatic screen and keypad lock when i put my phone into the leather holster? My BB before the 9320 did this automatically , i did not have to activate anything , the new one doesn't to do it. And i have tried more than one holster.
I have a 32gb iPhone 3gs and it regularly freezes when I lock the keypad. It sometimes comes unfrozen after a while (usually a long time) and sometimes doesn't come back at all and I have to reset it. I find that it consistently and nearly 100% of the time freezes when I lock the keypad when I have accidentally left the wifi connection on. when the wi-fi is off it doesn't usually freeze, the problems mainly when the wifi is active.
I have had this fantastic phone for a couple of days now but I have one minor niggle, how on earth do I switch off the automatic keypad lock ?, I do not mean how do I unlock the keypad, I mean the lock that automatically comes on when the phone is left idle, I've scoured the manual and can't seem to find it.
My phone model is Nokia 2680s.I want to learn if there is a way to lock and unlock the keypad merely with the slide operation. for unlocking the keypad it is not a problem. The feature already exists. However for locking the phone I could not find a way. Evenif I slide off the phone, the phone keypad is still active.
Before I was using samsung and this feature is default in samsung models and is very efficient. You just receive a call, slide open your phone or you browse the menus and when you slide off the phone, the phones keypad is locked! that's it.is there a way to apply such a feature for Nokia 2680s as well?
I have had Blackberry for over 4 years and got so used to the keypad icon to lock and unlock by pressing *send and now I downloaded newest upgrade os>743 and now that icon and feature is gone and its pissing me off, anyone know if or how I can get it back. (If it ain't broken, why think to fix it)
Is there an "auto" keypad lock in the bold 9700? by that a mean can you set it to auto lock the keypad after a certain time of no use like the nokia and other phones, The only way I have found to lock the keypad is with the button on the top left.
Phone was originally a work phone, now personal. But originally set up to change keypad lock every 90 days and to have 6 attempts. Work no longer set up with BES?
For first time ever i changed keypad lock code and now can't remember it. It have used up 5 out of 6 attempts and am now on last attempt,
I cannot lose all my data. Is there anyway on this earth to reset keypad lock or get more than 6 attempts.
How do I get the keypad to lock on my Spiro?When I close it up the keys below the screen still work, and I don't want to be accidentally calling people.how do I make them lock?Probably a really dumb question, but I'm completely confused.
