BB Tour :: Keyboard Functions Do Not Work - Cannot Open Any Windows
Apr 22, 2011
My BB Tour is completely frozen; the trackball moves the cursor but that's it! The keyboard functions do not work at all; they are completely frozen. I can't open any windows. I have taken the battery out and tried to reset it but that's not working and its been almost 48 hrs now with the battery sitting out!
As the title states, my keyboard won't work at all and my trackball won't click in. I think it's because I touched my trackball when my finger was slightly wet. After that, I tried texting and the characters on the screen didn't correspond with what was being typed. Now it won't work at all. What can I do?
Just went from a storm 1 to a tour and I am loving it. I can't believe how much more app. memory I have!
However, I cannot get my tour device to show up in windows explorer. It connects and I can browse my media card. There is no drive in windows explorer for the device itself. I can connect to desktop manager and back-up my device memory so I know the computer can read my blackberry device. I upgraded the os with no problems.
I am running vista home premium with blackberry os 5.0 from sprint. I am on verizon. I do have mass storage mode enabled and all of those memory settings set to yes (auto connect, etc.). BBSAK and Blackberry Master Control Program see the device as well. I do not use roxio media manager and it is not installed with my desktop manager. It was too slow and clunky when I had my storm so I never bothered with it.
Just updated system software to v.5.0.0.973 and bing the local searches and direction searchs no longer work. I have deleted and reinstalled bing several times with out any luck.
has any one tried swapping out a trackpad in place of the trackball. i know the keyboard would need replaced also.i have found the replacement parts and i have someone who can help me take it apart but was curious if anyones done it ?
I dropped my Tour and scratched up the bezel, and made the dumb decision to replace it. Long story short, I messed up switching over the buttons, and I stripped the screw putting it back in, so there's no going back to fix it. Now, when I press the keyboard lock button, it doesn't work. I figured out that I can hold down "A" on the homescreen to lock it, but now how do I unlock it?!
And PS: DON'T CHANGE YOUR HOUSING/BEZEL! I would much rather have a dinged up bezel than the situation I'm in now. Looks like I'm stuck with this Tour 'till December. I hope that people listen to my housing advice, and not be naive and ignore others like I did!
My Tour has stopped giving me audible alerts when it is in the holster regardless of how I have the settings configured. Pulling the battery doesn't help. I have no custom profiles set up. I'm at a loss on this one. I've seen lots of older threads on this but nothing recent so I'm hoping that maybe there is now a fix. Any suggestions?
When you type a text message, the keyboard slides up and the message box slides up above it so you can see what you're typing. That's the way its supposed to work. I just started seeing this today.
Now, my keyboard is covering the text message box so I can't see what I'm typing. I have to hit the back arrow to make the keyboard go away so I can see what I wrote before sending it. But not just text messages, seems like the keyboard is covering up ALL text boxes in everything making this phone pretty useless.
I tried to uninstall 5.0.0.484 and it wont let me uninstall it. It says Error 2738. Could not access VBScript run time for Custom Action. I even tried to take off 5.0.0.419. Anyone else have this problem? Can someone please help me out? Im tryna get rid of .484 because I believe .419 is better.
i cant seem to dowload the OS 5.0 to my phone. ive tried 3 different times to download the device software and got nothing. im running windows 7 on my desktop. ive tried the OS from sprint, appliacian wireless, and mts mobility and it keeps telling me the only upgrades are the current 4.7.62
After downloading the pdf files from internet/mail it shows in the file explorer, but when try to open it, the app pickup list only showing Project Spartan. Nothing else, no Adobe Reader nor PDF reader. I installed another PDF file reader app call Xodo, still no luck.
I regularly get .eml attachement files on my Samsung Focus with Mango. I can't get them to open. I'm using the built in Oultook email email client. I have Exchange. (.eml files are emails that are attached to an email.) A friend who has the same phone says he can open them. Could that be? What could I do to get them open?
I used to have a nokia n95 a few years back, I no longer have it. But I found a load of old files in a folder labelled 'nokia n95 phone messages' stored on my comp. As the folder name suggests, they're phone messages (I assume so anyway) ! I now want to open these messages but cant find a way to do so! I have downloaded the nokia suite 3.2.100 and tried to open them in there, but to no avail. How I could open these files on windows?!
I am new to this forum, I just have a quick question. I have a desktop computer running windows 7 with zumocast installed on it. I have accessed my files (mainly movies) from another windows computer just fine. I just got a macbook air for christmas and i tried to access my movies through zumocast on my mac but none of the files showed up. I dont want to put all the files on my new laptop because it only has a 120 SSD installed. Is it possible for me to access those files on my desktop from my mac?
almost technophobe pal Greg has an X3-02 and the keyboard can't lock. He's getting sick of all the newe anniversaries and stuff the phone writes in his poacket!Is this a firmware upgrade issue, or does he just have to live with it?His f/w version is 05.68, variant 255.01 of 10-12-10, the phone an RM-639.
I dropped the bold and at&terrible and have taken my business to verizon and am the proud owner of a tour last night trying to install 5.0 I seem to have run into an issue using swiss army knife AND DM it wont load past the Loading RAM phase ive done bat pulls re wiped the phone, removed and reinstalled software finally I just said it and went back to verizon 4.7 and I STILL can not get past the loading RAM image.I am running windows xp through VMware on a macbook. I did read somewhere that running windows this way you can NOT update OS's past 5.0 but why would I still be having the same issues trying to install 4.7 anyone care to chime in because for now my phone isnt touring at all.
I did it previously and now it doesn't work. Sprint doesn't know what they are talking about I'm hoping someone here does.My Yahoo! account syncs PERFECTLY w/my Tour. My Gmail and WindowsLive accounts do not. I can delete a msg from the PC and it remains on the phone. I delete from the phone and it remains on the PC.
Basically my friend made a backup for my phone in is Mac and sent me that document through email. when I came home and tried opening the email, it wont open? I would basically like to know how to see my contacts that have been saved in there because they are very important and cannot afford to lose them.
The problems I've been having are intermittent disconnection of the mouse using a Logitech v470. When I used the Apple Magic Mouse I never had an issue but you weren't able to scroll in the browser using the touch feature. Some scrolling standardization among all the apps and OS would be nice. Some parts you have to click and drag to scroll (scrolling bookmarks in the browser, App World and in the OS launcher) while other parts like documents or the browser you can use the scroll wheel perfectly. Scrolling on pages that open up windows or use pains is also not possible using the mouse. For example scrolling in gmail for tablets and scrolling if you open up a picture using facebook.com. Gesturing using the the right mouse button is fantastic but I'd like to be able to hold either the right or left buttons and bring up the contextual menus. Currently this is only accomplished by having to touch the device which is ok as long as the device is within reach but hook it up to your TV and you're sol. Copying and pasting by selecting text with the keyboard (crtl+a) works sometimes and other times you're just better off using your finger to bring up the select widgets and copy/paste that way. I really like how you're able to tab text boxes using the tab key.
Overall I'm very happy but these few annoyances really hold the device back from being used on the couch with a TV or being used anywhere out of arms reach for that matter. Being able to scroll with inertia while holding the right mouse button would be really nice. Anything you can do with your finger should be able to be accomplished mimicking those motions while holding or clicking the right mouse. I hope in the next update or sometime soon these issues are addressed.
The button on the top of my phone is broken, so I cannot lock the keyboard. I also cant seem to make the side keys lock the keyboard either. Any other options besides setting a password?
how to fix my E7 without going to NCP? When you open the keyboard, it does not register that it has been opened, and also only the top row of the keyboard works (does numbers correctly but characters wrong). I've already tried doing a hard reset on the phone which was to no avail.
My phone is not recognizing when I open the physical keyboard. I do not ever use the soft keyboard and it used to be the case that I would never see the soft keyboard as long as I had the keyboard tray open. But lately, I cannot make the soft keyboard go away. I have not upgraded to ICS or made any other changes to the settings.
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.
