6500s - Can't lock keypad

I searched around, but could only find topics about keypads not responding and being unable to unlock the keypad.
The problem that I have is this:
I sometimes can't lock my phone. If I close (slide) it, it won't give me the option to lock the keypad. If I choose 'lock keypad' in favourites, it simply refuses to do that. I also can't change the automatic lock settings when this happens. Note though; all other functionality is working as should be. If I switch off the phone and switch it on again, I can lock the keypad again.
The problem occurs randomly (at least, so it appears to me). It isn't keeping me from using the phone, but it sure is a nuisance.
I would be thankful if someone could shed some light in this case.

Hi,
Have you tried updating your phone? If not I would recommend you to do so.
Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
If the phone still does not show any improvement, I suggest you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Centre near you.
Good luck

  • CAN YOU LOCK KEYPAD ON NUMBERS

    I nedd to lock keyboard on the numbers keyboard everytime I tab or space it goes back to letters.

    Make it a floating textbox at the position you need and give it wrap to push away the text in the main text body.

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my BB to the newest software available 5.0.0.1030, and in doing so lost a little bit of functionality. Mainly, I used the "Left" Shortcut Key on my Curve to "lock" the keypad.  Also, when I wanted to unlock the keypad, I could hit any key on the keyboard, then hit star and send to unlock it.
    Since the update, I've noticed that there's no way to bind the left shortcut key to locking the keyboard - it doesn't exist anymore.  While I can still lock it by pushing and holding A, the left-shortcut-button was instant.
    Next, I also notice that to unlock it, I now have to push the mute button the top of the phone.  Since my phone is placed in my pocket, I've actually (several times over the last week) inadvertently hit the mute button by mistake, releasing the keypad and actually pocket dialing someone!
    I tried to revert to the old operating system using my BB desktop software, which is the 5.0.0.654, but the keypad lock/unlock seems to remain unchanged.
    Anything else I can do here? Is there a way to make it look like the way I opened it up from the box again?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello...you're right in thinking that there's no way to use anything other than the * and mute button combination in ver 1030.  I'm not sure why that functionality didn't revert back when you downgraded your OS though.  With that said, the advantages of going to 1030 I think outweigh the one disadvantage of the unlock situation.  With 1030 I think you will notice better signal strength, and longer battery life.  Both are more important (to me anyway) than having to hit the mute button to unlock.  Just my opinion, good luck in whatever you decide to do though.

  • Can RAM lock on a new iMac?

    Hi all
    Just a quickie. My mum has recently purchased a brand new iMac. Specs below:
    21.5-inch: 2.7GHz
    2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    1920 x 1080 resolution
    4GB (two 2GB) memory
    1TB hard drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512MB
    OS 10.7.3
    My question is this:
    My mum's not into downloading applications and such, so I have to step in and help out. The following might be a little vague but I'll try and be as clear as possible. I downloaded Google Notifier and World of Warcraft These programs were safely in the applications folder, but there appeared to be some files left on the desktop - files that I'd assumed could be trashed. I filed them in an empty file on the desktop until I could determine whether they were of any use. To cut a long story stort, at certian points a file/files were taken from applications or empty folder and dropped onto the desktop. Although my mum didn't seem to notice, I saw something I didn't like. It happened 2 or 3 times when files were taken from folders and dropped onto the desktop. As they dropped there seemed to be some distortion on the screen as a whole. If I had to describe the distortion I would say it was similar to the distortion you might get on a digital tv when the signal drops temporarily. The times that it did happen, it only flickered for a split second in part of the screen, and only when files were dropped. Maybe the system was being overworked? Maybe it was just a glitch? Maybe applications were still running and files were connected a system that was still running? At one point I bordered on taking the machine back for a replacement as if you're paying over a grand for a new computer I would have expected what I saw not to happen. But might be being over cautious as was simply concerned as my mum had paid a lot of money out.
    I'm just wondering whether this seems strange? Whether anyone's experienced anything similar?
    I've spoken to Applecare. They advised it 'may' be a hardware fault. Or that the RAM may have 'lcoked' when working or large files were taken from a folder and dropped onto the desktop. Can RAM lock? I've never heard of this before?
    All now seems to be working fine. Sorry if I haven't been clear.
    Many thanks to all who take the time to read through my post.
    Kind regards -
    Blubber Bear

    I don't know about locking RAM, but strongly suggest that you contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. That might also apply to a new machine within it's first 90 days of use.

    How can I lock out my iCloud?
    Because of forget my old password I have create a new Apple ID
    But when I wan to log out my iCloud,it call me to logout Find My iPhone.
    I had already forget the password that why I create a new Apple ID.
    Have any solution for problem like this ?

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

    Hi,
    Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

    Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
    Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

    No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
    You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

  • Can you lock a pdf file?

    Hi all! I have a client who has created a pdf booklet. It's a form that people will be filling out. She wants to distribute it on a CD. So... people will have to be able to copy it to their computer to open and fill it in. However, she then wants them to NOT be able to copy the pdf (she doesn't want it duplicated so that others can use it). Is this even possible? Can you lock a pdf like that? Thanks!
    Julie

    >What kind of restrictions?
    Check File>Properties>Security for the different options.
    Keep in mind that security on a PDF file is easy to get around.

    I bought my iphone5 last Mar 1, 2013. However, it was stolen/lost last friday Jun 14.How can I locked it for them not to use or resell it?I'm not registered at ICLOUD. I am not expecting it to be returned. I just want the unit to become useless already so that stolen/lost  Iphone or any kind of apple brand gadget will no longer be of interest by others to buy it from any thief or any person who will resell it in just a small amount.

    Sorry, but if you did not set up Find My iPhone, then unless your iPhone is set up with a company Microsoft Exchange server or other mobile device management system, there is no way to wipe the iPhone of its data, though if you had a screen lock in it, the thieves/finder will probably restore it and wipe the data anyway. There is no way to lock the iPhone permanently to prevent someone from using your iPhone, though you can report the loss to your cell carrier and they may be able to blacklist it from connecting to their network.
    Regards.

  • "Can't Lock IPOD" message

    Okay. Here's the story: After downloading latest itunes and IPOD update, my IPOD slipped into DATA mode and is completely locked up. I tried to reset the IPOD, but it cycles through and ultimately shows a folder and exclamation point on the screen.
    I then tried to restore the IPOD. That is when i got a message stating that the IPOD could not be restored because it "Can't Lock Ipod."
    Any suggestions? IPOD is not recognized by computer as hard drive and does not show up in itunes.

    You would have to ask the Police how they can find your iPod, if it's even possible.  Your warranty with Apple covers defects in materials and workmanship, not loss.
