For some reason, every time I go to write an SMS it is defaulted to be in CAPTIALS and I have to press the shift/cap button twice to get it back to lower case.
It's only just done this today and I can't remember changing anything. Does anyone know how I can change it back to the old setting of being in lower case as default.
Had the same problem once...
Did a soft-reset and everything was back to normal.
OK, will give it a go - thanks
Yeah mine did this, stopped it after i updated the rom which would reboot it to high heaven.
not seen it happen again yet.
I just had this problem.
i had been using the soft keypad and had left the CAPS button on. Soon as I changed it the hard keypad worked properly again

That could have been the problem actually, I remember using the CAPS on the soft pad this morning.
Either way, the soft reset has seemed to have fixed it so it's all good

wtf?! They all worked fine an hour ago (power, camera, talk, softkeys, messages...) and now they don't. It isn't a hardware issue because when it goes into standby, I can press the power button to bring it out of standby. Now though, I can't open anything using their respective keys and can't power it off. Anyone have any issues like this? I hadn't installed anything or even been using the phone from the time they worked to the time they stoped working.
Try opening settings -> buttons ->lock and click in "dont lock keys"
Had similar problems that now for some reason went away.

Unfortunately, I tried that and it didn't fix it. It's so odd that the Comm Manager button works when the phone is on and that the power button will work to turn it on or to wake it up. Are there places in the registry that control what the buttons do? Maybe I need to reset this thing? I love this phone when it isn't locking or acting up.
So I reset the phone to it's factory settings. After I went through the calibration and setup, the keys still weren't working. Before I did the reset, I did notice the keyboard keys weren't working either . So after the reset, the buttons still weren't working. I kept just typing stuff in on the keyboard with Word open and it finally started working...all buttons are still working now, but I don't trust it much. Should I bring it in to Cingular to get a new one? I'm still within my 30 days
Yes. If you can get a new one do it. do it.
Okay, TyTN has developed this very annoying feature turning off the backlight after 10 seconds. If I change the settings to anything else and put the phone to sleep and wake it up, the setting is back to 10 secs. If I uncheck the [ ] Turn off the backlight thingie, that setting will remain even when cycling the sleep/stand by mode.
I've tried to make the adjustment directly from registry, but it's still the same.
Last time this happened, hard reset helped, but I'm not quite ready to do that yet. Any other ideas about what to try?
This worked for me:
a.) Delete the following key entirely - HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/LockLevel
Thank you, that hit the spot =).

That key does not exist in all cases - it does not exist on mine. If you do not have it then your problem is elsewhere.
I assume you make the backlight changes the normal way, but after a soft reset they are gone again. Do not sodt reset immediately after making the changes, but long press the on off key until a pop up appears warning that unsaved data will be lost. Tap on yes. Restart with a long press on the on/off button. This procedure unlike an immediate soft reset ensures data is written back to the registry before closing down.

This is probably a hardware problem (did a hard reset, no change). The symptoms are:
The start menu flickers on and off, pressing the start button on the keyboard stops it, but it soon starts again if I try to write something.
Sometimes the keyboard doesn't work at all, and even the soft keyboard can't erase letters at times.
It actually disappeared a for a couple of hours after me hammering the keyboard in frustration, but then it came back again.
And I think the warranty has expired, so, anything I could do? Anywhere I can get it repaired cheap? Could it be a bad keypad connection?

Could be the keyboard connector, but equally it could be the phantom screen presses on the start menu problem. Does it ever close programs for no obvious reason?
Mike
Yes. it does (usually when the start menu starts flickering on/off), and sometimes lolololol is "typed".. apparently it think it's funny.

Sorry but this could be a noob question so please bear with me.
So I woke up this morning, ready to send a text message using the slide out keyboard, I noticed even WITHOUT the Function (blue button) active I get numbers instead of letters. Funny thing is, I thought my Function button was malfunctioning but it's not because ONLY the numbers will come out. Others such as the &, -, *, all come out as regular letters. So I believe there is some sort of number lock I pressed by accident. I've been using this keyboard for almost 3 months now so please don't say double check with the blue button. IT'S NOT for sure.
Please help guys, thanks.
Also, incase you're wondering, I've resetted the phone a couple times already, and still have the same issue. I really hope I don't need to go through a hard reset.
bump, no one has an answer?
it is the blue button! lol... you pressed it twice, 2 times make it lock onto Num lock

Did you even read the first post? Idiot.
No its not. There is no Fn sign at all next to the keyboard icon. Besides, ONLY the NUMBERS are showing up. I can't explain how the other brackets, asterisks, #, doesnt show up.

bump. im sure someone knows. please help out
come on.... someone
did you try a soft reset?
if didn't work, try opening the SIP Keyboard, there might be an option there to enable numlock (it might not be visible clear that it's enabled)
i got a similar problem with the CTRL key always pressed
pressing it in SIP and closing it then restarting the phone did work.
even though, you can try going for a hard reset.
please let us know how it goes
cheers
mine is doing ths same thing.. pissin me off
did the same to be for a bit i remember - dunno how i got over it - wasnt a hard reset though - prolly just a restart

Try a hard reset!
I had a similar problem with my phone. The slider would not move left or right so it was impossible to unlock the phone. It was very frustrating.
After a few episodes of this I noticed that when it happened the hard buttons below the screen did not illuminate but if I woke up the phone using any one of these buttons and held the button down until all of the buttons lit up the slider would work. This was more of a work-around rather than a fix.
More recently, since installing the remarkable Co0kies Home Tab, I have not experienced any unlocking problems whatsoever.
Hope this helps.
Talk to your ROM chef (if it´s not stock). Try a soft-reset, if it wont help backup your system and do a hard-reset.
My Rom chef? I don't get what you mean by Chef haha, It is stock rom and what files do I back up with a hard reset?
