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

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
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.

I have read here that when you hold down the end call key the screen should lock. Whenever I try this my screen flashes black but the handset never actually becomes locked. Anyone else experienced this? I've tried a hard reset and i've checked all the settings and cant understand why this is happening. For now I am using the on/off button to put it into hibernation but when you recieve a text in this mode the device fires up and therefore could start phoning people in my pocket if I dont notice it vibrate - not really ideal.
Any ideas on this would be much appreciated.
Exo
104 views and no one has any ideas... hmm
Same this is happening on mine
would be nice to know a solution
I'm assuming that you have checked in Settings that you have the End Key set up to lock the device when you hold it down? If you have then it sounds as though you have a PIN set up on the phone. There is a bug with the HD that means the End Key won't lock the phone if a PIN has been set up. You should find that if you remove the PIN then the End Key will lock the device.
I hope this helps. I find it rather annoying as I would like to have both features in place so I am hoping HTC eventually release a hotfix for this. Fingers crossed!

Thanks alot for the post mate. I wasnt aware of this bug. I tried changing the pin settings and it then worked. Thats a shame you cant get both. I guess ill just need to settle for a pin and pocket shield =)
Hi,
I have read and tried what I could find, but it does not work on my Jade.
Are there any new ideas how to keep the screen from swithching off?
Joe
This is copied from the Jade Manual:
Call functions
When a call is in progress, tap the available buttons on the Phone screen to put a
call on hold, dial another contact for a phone conference, enter notes about the
conversation, and more.
None of the above is possible because the screen disappears by itself.
Do HTC know about it? This seems to be a major f...up.
This problem has been discussed in many threads, there is no real solution.
If you activate the speaker for hands-free immediately after connecting the screen keeps on.
on mine the screen goes off... but if i press one fo the direction buttons it comes back on and stays on so i can use the keypad or look at contacts etc
Thank you guys.
I will try to contact HTC because I think this is a major fault. There is no access to those Call Functions if the screen disappears.
But people should also have the choice of switching the screen off to conserve battery during long conversations. That should be one of the Call Functions.
I tried to bring the screen back by pressing the OK button, but instead it ended the call. So why do we need the END button ?? Poor HTC. They are in front of themselves. Ever producing new half-baked models without thinking it properly out.
I have not tried the < or > buttons, but it would be risky because usually the OK button gets activated as well.
Has anybody on any HTC forum tried to petition HTC? I think this issue would be a nice one for a petition.
Joe
you say you dont want the screen to switch off but u dont want the < and > active?
tring to understand what you want/dont want here?
if i press < or > the screen comes on fully functional...
I did not say I did not want the < > keys active. I don't care what those keys do because I don't use them. The reason is that when I use them, I always inadvertently activate the Enter button. On my phone that terminates the call - the same as the End key.
It would be nice (and even logical) to have the Enter (OK) button to wake up the screen instead of the directional buttons. Maybe there is a registry tweak to do that.

I think it's about getting used to and familiarising with the intended design and button functions. Now after nearly 12 months using Jade I have no complaints. Even using phone banking, no problem with inputting the required numbers. Concur with MvBoe and DJHicks. It should also be acknowledged that this is 80% PDA and 20%phone (roughly).

I was playing with the < and > keys to try to bring the screen back on, and I can definitelly tell you it does not work on my phone.
While doing that, I accidentally pressed the Power on/off switch - and voilá - the screen came back on and stayed on.
I repeated the experiment to confirm it.
Why didn't I think of it earlier? So obvious.

Good for you Joe. I suppose many other Jade users are already using that method. I thought you knew it already but wanting something more simpler.

Also with other buttons if you set your phone to wake up with all buttons. See item #10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476493

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?
