Right I have now bought a Tmobile Vario II upgrade and so far the keyboard seems to be working okay.
Serial Number is a HT632
two questions
if you use the CAP Locks button by mistake how do you take it off from CAP locks? If I press the Cap locks and then again the C doesn't disapear.
Same for the the function button which looks like a bullet point in the bottom left section of the qwerty keyboard. To get it off it I have to double click the function button.
Press the blue dot and CAPS/SHIFT to get CAPS lock on, repeat the procedure to turn off.
Double press the blue dot to switch num lock on, one press to turn off.
Does that answer your question?
thats what i was looking for thanks bydandie.
Hello I noticed that the caps lock function no longer works the way it did. In order to turn it on, i have to press the circle key then the caps lock button to keep it in caps lock mode. Before, simply pressing it twice would lock it, and pressing it twice again would unlock it. Fixes anyone?
I frequently lock my Trinity by clicking on the power button briefly, but whenever I get a text message or any kind of alert, it unlocks itself - so if it's in my pocket the buttons can get pressed accidently. Anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Thanks
key lock is on?
in start-settings-system
and "lock" ?
in start-settings-personal
yeah, i don't want to lock-up the device so much that I have to go through menus or enter passwords to unlock it, just have the keys locked until I press the start key again. Is this possible to do?
During typing I often get to a point where the 7500 thinks that I have pressed a combination of keys to get the Caps Lock on, only it won't stop. I can't find a combination of keys to turn Caps Lock off & can only reset the device.
Does this affect anyone else ?
Any help ?
The 'red dot' (bottom left on keyboard) and shift key turn caps ON or off.
Now, when it comes to the 7501, the red dot is 'blue'. Also, to set caps lock on and off, you have to hold down the Shift Key and touch the Blue Dot key!
Thanks for your tip on the combination, though, as it caused me to reverse what to me would be the normal procedure, ie hold the Blue Dot key down and touch the Caps Lock key which never would work for me.

I found out the caps lock actived on the onschreen keyboard reverses the actions of the HW keyboard functionality!

True (on mine a blue dot) but it only turns it off for one character and then goes back to Caps Lock, that's why I am saying it is stuck on, I have tried all key combinations to make it go away.
It may just be my machine.

HOLD DOWN the shift key and then touch the Blue Dot key. Locks caps on and off alternately when you do it.
Once I managed to lock the numeric/special character keys on but can't find the combination again

I just checked the User Manual and it is all messed up with respect to Upper Case/Lower Case. I do not find that having the soft keyboard set to caps does anything on my device.

This happens to me a lot too. It happens when I press shift and then quickly another key (also only when the Athena is reacting slow already because of whatever it's doing in the background or so). For some reason it sees the other key as that pressed the shift key again. After that it doesn't swith off easily.
I find that it switches back off when I double press the Shift key and then a regular key. That one is still in caps, but then the caps is off.

This sounds like the same behavious I am getting (I am not dismissing the other posts here, but I am not new to XDAs and I know how to turn CL off under normal circumstances) - the 7500 simply keeps itself in CL even when you turn off on the keyboard. I also think it is when I am typing quickly (if that is really possible on this kb).
I'll try this solution next time it happens, but I am sure that this is a bug.

Doesn't work for me. Strangely I had Transcriber mode on (I write a lot) and trying to change back to keyboard doesn't work. There is something wrong with the input somewhere, a re-flash is required over the weekend I think.
I get CAPS-lock when I pres shift and then quickly just about any other key (double shift or a letter). Seems like it has to be timed just right and then it happens. The same combination will switch it back off again. Although again, it seems to need to be timed just right. I only get it once in a while.
Have you tried "dot" and then "shift" to switch the caps lock off again?
Is there any way to change the key to turn on the screen? The Power button is on the top and I bet most people hold the bottom of the phone, I can't reach the top button with one hand....
Thanks,

You can try mapping it with this program.
I haven't tested on power button though.
Although it would work if I map the 'END' button to "screen power toggle". I also lost the End funtion....
Do you guys use two hands to turn on the screen everytime you use? I was so used to My Treo Pro that I can use the END key to turn on the screen...
Thanks,
First, there's a never version of keyboardcontrol.
Second, you have to set end key normal standard and e.g. longpress to turn on.
