BB Torch :: Depressing The Unlock/lock Icon Is Very Unstable?
Jan 4, 2012
depressing the unlock/lock icon is very unstable. Sometimes it works and it locks and then I can unlock it...very frustrating and drain on battery. It will stay working for about 5 minutes and then when I try either actions it won't work
I have a Blackberry Torch and I have found that the touchscreen has started to react slowly. Sometimes I have to lock and unlock the screen before it will react at all.
I have the 9860, It goes off on a tangent, never keeps the wallpaper, had to delete battery indicator as it wouldn't charge. Now it doesn't like the screen lock I downloaded for fun, so it wouldn't connect to desktop for offload of pics etc.
I am suddenly missing the Password Lock icon. I had it as one of the icons on my Favorites screen and now it has vanished. I can do a search for it and it will be in the results list and, while greyed out, I can use it to lock the device. However, I do not wish to do a seach for it everytime I want to lock the device when it was available before.
I lock my bb my pressing the top left keypad lock button but when I press it again to unlock it it won't unlock!! The only way to unlock is to take the battery out and put it back in! It only started doin this yesterday.
I want to be able to only lock my blackberry by pressing the top left lock button and not unlock it when i press it again. This is extremely annoying. Can anyone help me?
I have a blackberry torch 9800, num locks and cap locks were working fine by holding aA or 123 keys on virtual keboard earlier. But all of a sudden (I still wonder why?) its not working any more, and is very frustating to press 123 or aA kes each time you need capital letters or numbers.
I'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!
I dropped my phone not too long ago, and ever since the lock/unlock key on the top is very fussy and only works if pressed a certain way. I tried changing the lock button to the convenience key, and it works fine, except that there isn't an option to set it as the unlock key. Is there a way or program to set a key to unlock the phone? Or am I stuck using the dedicated lock button?
I lost my lock icon when I upgraded to 5.0. I've lost a lot more than that over the years. I'm over it. I can lock it with the "A" key, but I can't unlock the phone no matter what key(s) I press. The only way to unlock is to turn it off and then back on. I'm open for suggestions.

The lock/unlock button has a crack next to it. I am afraid it will get bigger. The phone is 2 months old, the crack is from locking and unlocking, extra insurance through FUTURESHOP does not cover it apparently (last time I buy from them).This should not happen, does blackberry stand behind their products
I just got my Blackberry Bold 9780 last night and the 'lock/unlock' button on the top left doesn't work at all. It feels somewhat sticky - the mute key on the right side makes a clicky sound when pressed down whereas the lock button just presses in without making any contact. I understand that you can set a password but that is rather inconvenient as you have to wait 1 minute for it to lock and every time I want to use the phone I have to type in a code. I can lock the phone by holding down A/* but then there is no way of unlocking it again. the phone came with the holster because that seems to unlock it for me - but this is obviously less than ideal.What can I do? Is there a shortcut to unlocking like on the Curve 8520 (a/* and the call button)?
My daughter (whose BB this is) downloaded a smiley pattern unlock from BB App World and entered a password but the app will not now recognise the password and so the handset is effectively locked! Is there a way to get round this such as restoring factory settings?
I got the unlock code, entered it into my Samsung and it said personalization canceled but when I put in my Fido Sim Card it says sim lock. I tried all types of 0 codes, 0000 00000 000000 00000000 and none of them worked. What should I do?
I dont think i'm bring Paranoid but I am noticing when I swipe up to unlock my screen, enter my Pin and press Enter.. the phone doesnt unlock. It hangs and i get a blank black screen for a maybe 7 to 8 seconds.
I have to retry the process a few times to get a successful result.
It is noticeable now i have a software Update of 2.1.2. Not the Android Update.
My iphone5 lock/unlock button doesn't work. I checked with the Apple Store and my phone is eligible to be repaired. I just wanted to know when I give it to the Apple Store how long would it take for it to be repaired?
Yesterday I wanted to unlock the phone and unlock switch literally jumped out. It doesn't seem to be damaged in any way. I tried to put it back without any sucess. Phone is still under warranty, but since I use it alot and according to my previous experience with nokia service in my country, it can take up to two or three weeks, if and how could I put the switch back myself?
I have my BlackBerry Bold 9700 for over 5 months right now. It always was working nice, till one day ago.The lock/unlock (mute?) button doesn't work properly anymore.I can lock my blackberry with the lock/unlock button (and the a/* key) but I can't unlock it anymore with the lock/unlock button. I've to reboot my BlackBerry Bold 9700 every time. My phone haven't got damage.
I have a blackberry bold that i paid 150$ for.The lock and unlock button works but it doesnt make it the 'CLICK" and i have to press it a little harder to make it work. how much it would cost me to fix such an issue ?
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 use A BlackBerry Curve 8900 I had to shut down my phone and when I tried to pwer it up the keypad lock was activated . I have tried to unlock it using the lock key and also the * key but both dont work. I have also tried doing a hard reboot ( removing the battery and then turning on the phone. This has not worked either. Is there anywya to bypass the keypad lock and also can the keypad lock be deactivated.
Is there any way or any app to "unlock" the phone using touchscreen only. i dont want to use the key lock button which is at the top of phone to lock the phone. i found one app in the market to lock the phone using touch screen.
