BB Torch :: Lock Touch Screen While On Phone?
Sep 23, 2011
Another frustration I'm having with my first smartphone, torch 9860 bought 1 week ago ....hen I'm talking on the phone, several undesirable things might occur, like I hang-up, or put on speaker phone, or put on hold, or unless the fingers are placed "just so" and my earring doesn't happen to bump the touch screen I can't seem to just have a conversation.Is it really necessary to hold this BB like a small pizza, that is, flat and carefully around the edges, and speak down into it with my chin on my chest?

I like the Torch a lot. The for factor suits me. I have no problems with it. I would however like to have an app or some way to disable the touch screen so that Im using the trackpad as im used to. In any case apart from web browsing i use the trackpad mostly.
Im not saying the touch screen is bad or faulty or I shld get another phone etc! I just want to know if anyone who is using apps like pattern lock etc have come across a way to make the Torch disable its touch screen - even if for a short while?

I have a Blackberry Bold 9810 and the screen/keypad lock feature is always activating itself, even when I'm in the middle of sending a text or otherwise using the phone. Yesterday, it happened while I was talking on the phone and it cut off the call. I cannot find an option on my phone to turn this feature on/off. How can I fix this problem, because it is virtually making my phone unusable.

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.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1 or even other iPhone versions. Sometimes - it becomes more frequent - when I turn on the screen (the phone was on standby) and I start giving some input (e.g. sliding to unlock or entering the PIN) it will recognise my input, but then rejects it. For example when I want to unlock, I slide and when I lift my finger it rejects my input by sliding back to the start position. Another example is when entering the PIN (this happened once).
I started entering the numbers and when reaching the 4th, the input gets rejected (the last circle fills up and gets empty again). I also had it once when I had my phone unlocked already and I was looking at my home screen, sliding to the right - got rejected and landed on the first screen. When this happens the workaround is easy, putting my phone into standby and bring it back up and everything is fine. I have the suspicion, that there is a timer triggered or there should be a popup appearing - which is not coming up. And just for the record, my iPhone is not jailbroken or something.

Just bought a BB Storm 2, 9520. But i find something doesn't seem right, but not exactly sure if it's a problem or it's just the design of the phone. Please enlighten me on this.The touch screen of my phone doesn't seem "fix" like other touch screen phone. The feel of touching the BB screen is like pressing a button where it'll "depress" when u press the screen. Is this normal for this phone?

My iphone 5 screen just stopped responding to any touch stimuli. The home button works, and Siri works, but I cannot use the screen at all. Also, my lock button hasn't worked in a few months, so I've been using Assistive Touch to lock and power down my phone. I was hoping to try to reset my phone (home+lock) and see if that worked the screen issue, but I can't find a way to power down. Any tips? Should I restore the phone with iTunes? Or is this the end of the line for my phone?

My touch screen stopped working only when the Torch is slid open. The track pad still works and can use the menu to navigate but what a pain. This started three days ago. Phone is 17 months old. Is this a setting?

I really dislike the touch screen, I'm constantly correcting mis-touches. Is there a way to disable the touch screen and just use the touch pad to navigate?

Is there a way to end a call from the touch screen, or is the only way to use the hard key on the bottom right of the phone?

I have used my torch for a long time now and it used to work perfectly, now the touch screen doesn't work at all, I have to use the track pad for everything. The pulling out battery doesn't work; and its not an option to take to my carrier since it is an Att device and my provider is Tmobile.

The touch screen of my Torch is failing. Sometimes it work but most of the time it's dead, sometimes I can just like on an item but not move the page. I rebooted, reloaded, redid everything I could but still to no result.

My torch touch screen is being weird. I works sometimes and others not. especially the bottom or top icons are not responding to touch at all. Is there a way to calibrate it? I dont understand what a hover time is or a tapinterval is and what it should be set at. I have only had this phone for 6 weeks and it has never been abusing, water logged etc...not sure what I should do?

My torch 9800's screen wanders to the right on it's own all the time. If I'm sending a bbm it keeps kicking me over to the emoticons, for example. I can actually watch it scroll through my home screen on its own. How do I fix this? Operating system 6

I'm a 1st time owner of a brand new 5800, this is my first experience with a touch screen phone and I was wondering since the screen is plastic and I absolutely hate scratches on my phones anywhere but especially on my screen, is there a way to put a screen protector on the screenof the phone and have the touch screen still work, will it be less sensitive or will it work at all?

was working perfectly fine until i downloaded an app that you can now get for free from RIM until some date in may. anyways, i wiped my phone and it was working fine for a few days, then it stopped working out of no where. then for some reason when i upgraded bbm and had to reset my phone, the touch worked perfectly but then randomly stopped working again. It basically does not work at all, except for sometimes when my phone is plugged in. idk how to fix this, would re-installing the software get it to work again or should i just take my phone in?

My mom´s Blackberry Torch 9800 (Carrier is Claro Brasil and the OS is updated to 6.0 Bundle 2647) isn´t working properly. Sometimes the touch screen doesn´t work and sometimes is works but not in a perfect way. When I try to type some numbers to dial using the virtual keyboard some keys doesn´t work out like the back button. When I type the back button the number 3 appears in the screen. I tried to downgrade and then upgrade the software using the desktop manager but this didn´t fix the problem and even after pulling the battery several times the problem remains.

Am I the only one that is having trouble with the calibration of the touch screen on the Torch 9800. This is so far the only complaint about the phone.

My touch screen doesn't react. Properly. It's normally dead. Sometimes it allows me to push and open icons but that's it.

My touch screen keyboard does not come up when I want to use it and so I can only use my keyboard once I slide the screen up. I must have hit a button but for life of me cannot find which one I need to turn it back on again. It use to come up automatically when I touched in a typing area for texts, web etc - now nothing.
