Clamshell style phone with QWERTY keyboard?

Does Verizon Wireless have any plans to once again sell a basic clamshell-style phone with a QWERTY keyboard?  My aging Samsung Alias 2 fits this description, but it is getting old.  I can find phones with QWERTY keyboards but they are "candybar" style, which I do not like.

    Steve_in_Maryland, thanks for posting. I can understand you anticipation for a new clamshell device. For the latest releases stay up to date right here: http://bit.ly/n5snpq .

  • Webstart with qwerty keyboard

    I have an application which can run as an application or with webstart. Normally, I use then an azerty keyboard, but when I want to use a qwerty keyboard, I can add the system property -Duser.language=en when starting my application. Can I also make webstart work with a qwerty keyboard? I tried to add the property user.language with value en to the jnlp file (resources/property), but this didn't work...
    Can anyone help me??
    thanx!

    The problem is that setting system property in the jnlp file dosn't launch java -Dxxx=yyy, but instead only sets the system property xxx to yyy only if all-permissions is asked for, and only after verifing the certificates in the jar files.

  • Can't sync bluetooth mobile phone with wireless keyboard or mouse

    Hi,
    I can't sync my mobile phone (K750) when I am working with my wireless keyboard and my wireless mighty mouse.
    When I start the sync progress I loose contact to my mouse & keyboard....the sync progress starts with the mobile phone, but after transferring some data it also looses contact to the phone, so the sync interrupts. After some seconds I get back in contact to my mouse & keyboard.
    When I turn off my wireless mouse & keyboard and I am using a wired keyboard & mouse instead everything is working fine!
    Any ideas????
    Many greetings,

    this happens alot, use a usb2 flash drive (not usb3) and as a precaution for other issues, also disconnect any other usb devices except your kb and mouse

  • Key mapping question. (for mobile phones with PC-like keyboard)

    For phones with mini keyboard (one button per one character, like a PC keyboard).
    I'm trying to implement a form with few text boxes. The goal is to let user type the message like they're using a PC keyboard (unlike in traditional phones, where you need to press the 'numpad two' button three times in order to type the character 'C')
    I've successfully implemented this functionality. But it's an ugly implementation because I use a switch-cases for each and EVERY keycodes.
    Forexample:
    char inputChar;
    switch(keyCode)
    case 97: input = 'A' break;
    case 98: input = 'B' break;
    // go on until every keys are covered, including the lower case letters. T_T
    buffer.append(inputChar);
    Yes I know that my programming skill is real crap >_<, so I try google for some good implementation method. But I always found only the detail about the traditional numpad implementations.
    Ok, my real question is, can this keyboard implementation be done in a better way? The code should be able to look more beautiful than this, right?
    Thank you. =)

    I still don't get the problem here?
    A textbox in a form will work just fine with those mini keyboards. You don't need to do anything for it..
    Otherwise, this code can obviously be done better, a simple array where you just lookup your keycode will be much simpler and faster for instance.

  • Pathetic lack of 4G phones with no physical keyboard

    I've been a Verizon customer since my first mobile phone and I was one of the first people to buy the original Droid when it launched, but the leaked news about the upcoming Droid 3 has me strongly leaning towards going with another carrier.  I find it baffling that the Droid 3 would come out right now and not be 4G enabled.  It hasn't even been released and it's already outdated, and yet Verizon will insist on sticking people with 2 year contracts for a phone that will never be able to connect to its fastest networks.  I've yet to hear of any other 4G phone that even MIGHT come to Verizon with a physical keyboard, an absolute 100% dealbreaker for me.  The loyal early adopters who jumped on the Android bandwagon and made it the juggernaut it is today come out of contract in July.  We want physical keyboards and we want cutting edge phones.  Where is the phone you think we're going to buy, Verizon?  Because everything else I've seen is a joke.

    This has been a significant frustration for me as well.  I follow phones pretty closely and have kept up on all the rumors, leaks, and announcements on the various forums from BGR to droidforums and howardforums.  What is killing me is that there is not so much as an obfuscated indication that Verizon will have a 4g with a physical keyboard any time in the future.  
    They are rolling out more and more candybar phones and there are, essentially, zero options for anyone who does not like the candybar models with only virtual keyboards.  Meanwhile, the other 4g carriers all have phones out with physical keyboards.  Sprint actually has at least 2 of their 4g phones with physical keyboards and have had them out for months now.  Seriously, how hard is it for Verizon to get it together and diversify their offerings with something other than yet another candybar 4g phone?
    The real kicker is Verizon put out the Droid 3 without 4g.  Seriously.  What are you guys thinking?  4g covers a huge part of the market and your only new Android phone with physical keyboard is only 3g?  Was this an attempt at marketing suicide?
    Those who say you don't really need a physical keyboard must not use the phone the same way many of us in professional environments with detailed and quick response demands migth use them.  I have tried numerous virtual keyboards and none of them are responsive and fast enough to keep up with me.  One my Droid 1, I can hammer out significantly detailed and thorough responses very quickly with little to no error.  This is why so many BB users demand the physical keyboard of the BB.  If the virtual keyboards were good enough, trust me, we would have switched long ago for the weight and size differences.  The simple fact is no virtual keyboard is on par with a decent physical keyboard.
    My contract is up in a few months, I am well into my upgrade period, and I am seriously considering switching to another carrier for 4g with a physical keyboard.  I am not blowing my upgrade on a phone that will irritate the hell out of me, especially when it would mean locking into another 2-year contract with a carrier who clearly is not developing devices for professional users who prefer Android.

  • What Is Best Feature Phone with Texting

    I love my Droid, but am starting to think I am wasting too much money for the benefit of web access. It's fun and neat to have, but I don't need it. I just cancelled my Netflix account and premium cable movie channels and am thinking about ditching my Droid. What is the best feature phone with qwert texting capability?

    Kind of like asking who the best team/player in baseball or basketball or hockey or Nascar or Opera is. My family uses the following phones all with no major problems. Samsung Intensity II, Pantech Jest, LG Octane, LG Cosmos, KIN TWOm and Samsung Zeal. All with QWERTY Keyboards. Most are high volume(1,000's) texters.

  • Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard

    I am looking for Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard, that will text and send pictures without a data plan.
    I am now on disability and can't continue with the high cost of data plans.
    I was using my Droid 4 but without Data turned on it will text but will not send pictures.
    My daughter is sending me an LG-505c so I am hoping that will work but I would still like to get my calender on the phone also.
    anyway I need ideas on what phones will work. 

    The LG ENV3 will work without a data plan, as will several of the older "multimedia" phones and basic phones.  My husband is still using an LG VX 5400; my mom uses an LG VX 5200 and both send and receive picture messages (though they are small).  Samsung Sway, Alias, LG Voyager, EnvTouch - all of these work without a data plan, and will send and receive texts.

  • No data plan - camera phone w/ flash and qwerty keyboard

    Is there a current list of all supported/allowed verizon phones that DO NOT REQUIRE DATA PLAN  &&  have camera and flash and qwerty keyboard?

    I don't know how long this has been available; ebay now lets you submit a review for the cellphone you bought.
    While sometimes the review is about the experience(s) with the seller, most of the reviews are for the cellphone itself.
    Say you're looking for reviews for an LG enV2. Type "LG enV2" and the first lisiting is a summary of the current auction listings. Don't click on an individual ebay auction. Look at the last line of the summary -- it'll list how many reviews have been submitted. Click on that and then scroll about half way down the page to read the reviews.
    e.g.
    http://www.ebay.com/ctg/LG-enV-VX9100-Maroon-Verizon-Smartphone-/99979912/r.html?_dmpt=Cell_Phones&_pcategid=9355&_pcatid=801&_refkw=lg+env2&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A5216&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

  • How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

    (My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
    Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
    This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
    Problem:
    I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
    (Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
    Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
    Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
    I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
    Thank you. =)

    The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
    Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

  • I cannot change language with my qwerty keyboard

    I'm using firefox for mobile 5 on LG LU2300(optimus Q) which has physical qwerty keyboard.
    When I try to change language to Korean with the qwerty keyboard, I failed. The language is stick to ENGLISH.
    When I use on screen touch keyboard, it's O.K.
    please help me to use firefox.

    Hi freetbet,
    This is currently a known problem and we have an open bug report tracking this issue, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361 bug 669361]. At this time I am not aware of any workaround besides continuing to use the virtual keyboard as you mentioned.

  • How to read the keyboard of a smart phone with labview mobile?

  • Using a laptop as a qwerty keyboard with an imac

    Hi,
    I have an imac, and i am in the middle of a project which is on a deadline.
    I don't have time to get to an apple shop, or to wait for a delivery, but for various reasons i am short of a qwerty keyboard for the imac. I have a powerbook G4 here, and wondered if the keyboard from that could somehow be used to run the imac.
    Is it possible?
    David Tobin

    If I were you I'd either: 
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences... > International > Input Menu tab then add check Keyboard Viewer.
    Also check that Show Input Menu in Menu Bar is checked.
    Then in any application, on the Union Flag on the right of menu bar choose Show Keyboard Viewer. You can then 'type' using the mouse.
    2. Any USB keyboard will work though! so if you can scrounge a PC one in short order.
    3. I'd also advise trying a different USB port with the current keyboard to see if that helps.

  • Problems using Devanagari-Qwerty keyboard in Mountain Lion

    I have  all the discussions about Devanagari-Qwerty and have looked at and used all the websites that give instructions. But most do not apply to a Mac using 10.8.3. Nor do I get any answers from the people at Apple-Care when I phone them. My current questions are the following:
    1. What is the exact default font that is attached to the Devanagari-Qwerty keyboard in Mountain Lion? It is definitely NOT Devanagari Sangam MN, and it is NOT Devanagari MT. I cannot even use Devanagari MT in Mountain Lion on any of my programs, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign.
    2. I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to type one of the Sanskrit vowels that transliterates as "kree" or "kreem: ऋ़ं According to all the instructions I have read, theoretically this should work by typing option+r, shift+f, shift+m. But this does not work In Microsoft Word or InDesign, it just types a halant after the "kr"
    3. I cannot figure out how to turn on or use any advanced typography characters in any Sanskrit font with Mountain Lion. The instructions I have read do not apply to Mountain Lion.
    I have been wasting many hours! Please help me!

    Dear Tom,
    Thank you so much for responding to my questions. I have more questions:
    1. InDesign says it does support Indic scripts:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2012/05/indesign-cs6-indic-support-and-preference s/
    I have followed their instructions and have turned on that script in their program. Yet I still have problems.
    2. What is the default font that is connected to the Devanagari Qwerty and Devanagari language keyboards on Mountain Lion? Or is it different for each program? MSW appears to default to "Sanskrit 2003." Text Edit appears to default to "Devanagari Sangam MN." InDesign appears to default to "Adobe Devanagari." Yet I cannot actually choose any of these fonts and use them in MSW or InDesign. In other words, on the font list, they do not display any Sanskrit characters. Instead, they become English letters when I select them from the list to type with. But if I use  Devanagari Qwerty or Devanagari language preferences to type with, then they do show up as Sanskrit characters. I do have other Sanskirt fonts that do appear on the font list and that display properly. But none of these other fonts default when I use Devanagari Qwerty or Devanagari. This is very confusing.
    3. I have never seen the gear wheel on any program except Text Edit. I wish I could find it, because I would like to turn on "additional conjuncts." I can go to Format > Fonts > Show Fonts with Microsoft Word, but I see no gear wheel. With InDesign, which supposedly does support Indic fonts, I don't know where to go in order to find the gear wheel. And I don't see any gear wheel on the Font Book program.
    4. My publisher requires that I use Microsoft Word to deliver my manuscripts. They do not accept any other programs. I am trying to type Sanskrit letters easier by using Devanagari Qwerty and/or Devanagari keyboard on my Mac. Any solution for Microsoft Word? Whatever solution I use has to also be compatible with InDesign, because my publisher copies and pastes everything into InDesign to design the final pages.
    Thank you!

  • No QWERTY keyboard, I have a QWERTZ keyboard. Z and Y switched

    I bought a Curve 8520 last week for my son. He just noticed today that the z and y are switched on the keyboard. I called the place where we bought it and they said oh yeah some are like that. I said it is a defect.  I have not actually gone there to the store yet but am going tonight when my husband can go with me. Well I am in Panama and the phone says made in Hungary. They advertise a QWERTY keyboard not a QWERTZ keyboard. Anyone else have this?

    It is not a defect, it is designed that way for German and Dutch language users.
    Yes, many German users have that keyboard.
    You cannot change it that keyboard (well you can, but the firmware within is still going to make the Z and Y keys operate as indicated on the keyboard you have not.
    Return the device to where you purchased for a QWERTY keyboard device, or get your money back.

  • LG Extravert QWERTY Keyboard stopped working.

    I got an LG Extravert for Christmas so it is less than 6 months old and the qwerty keyboard just stopped working.  It was fine one day and keys stopped reacting the next.  I've tried turning off the phone and restarting, no luck.  I take very good care of my cell phone and it has never been dropped so I have no idea what happened.    Any suggestions on how this can be fixed?   Thank you in advance.

        Ryath, let's see if we can change your luck. Have you tried soft resetting your device by removing the battery? Your next step would be to save your contacts at Backup Assistant and hard reset it in Settings. If the hard reset doesn't work then we can provide you with a warranty replacement device as long as there's no physical or liquid damage.
    For your convenience, I've provided the steps on how to hard reset your device below:
    From the main screen, select Menu.
    Select Settings.
    Select Phone Settings.
    Select Security.
    Enter the Security Code (default is the last 4 digits of the phone number).
    Select Restore Phone.
    Select OK.
