Backspace and return keys make phone inoperable

Whenever I try and try to make a correction using the backspace, the backspace does not stop and erases the entire message. Or if I hit the return key, it doesn't just return to the next line, but repeatedly returns making an infinite number of new lines.
Basically this problem makes the text, messaging, emails and so on useless - I can read things, but can't use the key board at all.
I have tried every setting I can find on the phone, nothing seems to correct this.
What is the fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a similar problem with the backspace and the letters A and P it was so annoying.
The fix is simple:
Go into Settings > Accessibility > Magnify > OFF
This should solve the problem. If not then you have a different kind of issue.
Hope it works

InDesign CS5 - Enter and Return keys give unexpected results

I've been using CS5 for just a few days (Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.3). I've noticed that the Enter and Return keys aren't always behaving as expected. Enter doesn't give me a column break, shift-Return doesn't give me a line break but a new paragraph, and more often than not I can't select the default option in a dialog with either Return or Enter. I've just read cpsid_84345, which says this is an issue in German and Swedish language versions, but I'm using English. The 7.01 update doesn't seem to be available. Any advice?

That the KBSC files are XML doesn't guarantee faultless migration from one version to the next, probably because Adobe just forgot to cope with importing KBSCs from previous versions. It's great that InDesign offers you such flexibility with the KBSCs, but it's terrible that the implementation has been so sloppy in at least the three last versions (maybe earlier versions, too, but I try to repress the memories).
Some people have been asking Adobe to make KBSCs scriptable. This would enably you to maintain a small database with KBSCs which a script could read and feed into a new version of InDesign, or redo a KBSC file after it has become corrupt, or whatever minor or major mishap.
The more people ask for this the better: go to http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html and request script access to the KBSCs.

Hello, my backspace and enter keys suddenly stopped working. I have done a PRAM reset and used the keyboard viewer to see if the buttons work and they don't. The PRAM reset didn't work either

Dear All, the backspace and enter keys on my wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working. Im using OS 10.7.5 and have tried a PRAM reset which didn't work. I also used the keyboard viewer to see if the keys worked on that but they don't. This is driving me mad, can anyone please tell me what to do? It happened just after an update but this could be a coincidence. Thank you for your time

For my computers, though some of them support BlueTooth devices and accessories,
my preference and economy of standard, is to have wired USB and also use powered
USB hubs for accessories.
I've used USB wired keyboards and mouse products; and some I've bought from the
original owners who had upgraded to BT, and never used the new Apple USB model;
so I have spares of these on-hand since they seldom fail, but do work when BT won't.
{A SMC reset should not cause a problem, or seldom has; but can solve some.}
In my opinion, the wired USB keyboard is an essential accessory, if not a necessary
primary means of user access on a continuous basis. At least until the wires fail...!

Backspace and delete keys not working in LS?

Hi all, I was tutoring a co-worker on the basics of LiveCycle Designer, and ran into a very odd problem. Neither the backspace nor the delete keys work in the application. In order to delete text or a cell, she had to resort to using "Cut."
Moreover, when she tried to create a drop-down list, she was not able to click the "+" sign in the object palette in order to add items to it...it was as if the button simply was not there. I've never seen this issue before. Anyone know what's going on and if there is a setting to fix this? I know the keyboard is not damaged because backspace and delete keys work fine in other applications.
Thanks!

It's quite possible. Closing the document and then re-opening it somehow magically reset the keys so that they work now. Thanks for the response, though!

After downloading iOS 6, I can't seem to shut down my phone after holding the lock and slide key. Phone not jailbroken

You mean lock and home key right? I have the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. Seems as though if I hold the buttons again a 2nd time, the iPod automatically restarts as it loads the apple screen that appears when you turn on the iPod/iPhone but I can't get the iPod to stay turned off.

Can I buy an iPad which can be used as a Mobile Hotspot and used to make Phone Calls?

Can I use the new iPad as a phone and a mobile hotspot?

Yes, it can be used as a mobile hotspot if your carrier supports it. iPads can only make calls using Voice Over IP apps such as Skype or FaceTime.

I did factory resetting and loaded my back up. It worked for few hours then back to same situation. any pointers?

ALDSP 3.0 -- create and return key

I have a situation where the client needs to be able to generate a key for new records prior to sending to the server. Trust me, the client needs the key before a new record is inserted.
Is there a way to get the key that DSP would generate using a sequence number for my physical service? That is to say, under normal circumstances I use DSP to generate the key from a sequence and stick it in the new record. In this one situation, the client needs this information in advance, and I want to use the same sequence for it. Ideally I would like to just call a function in DSP to retrieve the key for the physical service. If necessary, I would create a new physical service to retrieve it.
Thanks!
Jeff

Generating globally unique keys is hard work. You need to ensure they are unique between threads, servers - even domains, and over server restarts - it's not as simple as myKey++. So instead of re-inventing an Oracle Sequence, we'll let you create a physical data service that does ... SELECT MYSEQUENCE.nextval from DUAL.
Also - you have a corner case - where your client needs the unique number before the update takes place. Most applications are happy to have it after - in which case ALDSP will do everything for you if you configure the element to use the autoNumber type=sequence property.

Return Key doesn4t make my defined KEY-ENTER trigger to fire.

I4ve found that the trigger that fires when I press Return is KEY-NEXT-ITEM,but this doesn4t resolve my problem,because the tab key also fires this trigger.
I want to navigate within textitems with the tab key and that when I press return key make an action on the values entered in the items.
mila, PJR

You have to perform key mapping to get the Key-Enter trigger to work.
Open your forms90\fmrweb.res file in a text editor. Find the line:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 27 : "Return"
Change it to:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 75 : "Return"
Save the file and run the form again. The key-enter trigger should then fire when you press the Return key, but not when you press the Tab key.

My return and shift key stopping working

my return and shift key stopping working. It wont go to the next line or function as an enter.
Now, most of the time it wont do anything but if you push it several times it will type a 0p or /- or control volume the instead. I checked the keyboard setting and voicecontrol and reset it to default and updated software for system but no resolve. How do I fix this?

Hi -- I have this problem too. I cleaned out the keyboard, did an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and also followed the steps I could follow from this article, linked to in the answer to another question:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
no luck with any of it. Could we please have some advice targetted at the specific problem of nonfunctional shift and return keys on a MacBook Air?
In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.

Returning an old phone on Edge?

I recently used the Edge program to get a new iPhone 6. I still have my iPhone 4, and want to avoid the $200 charge (I upgraded on Early Edge and returning the old phone is a requirement). However I have no idea where to mail my old phone or how to make sure it is associated with my account. I went to my local Verizon store and they said they could not take it there. Any help?

Here's the link. You have to log in and it should take you directly to the label page. I've heard that using Internet Explorer is a better option than using Chrome or Firefox when trying to print the label.
