Hi any assitance appreciated
In Options>Screen/keyboard, Ii set up the L (or R) Convenience key as "Compose"
This should allow a one key press to initiate an SMS
However when I push it and it spawns the response from the BB Storm, it brings up the contact list ok but when I chose a contact - all it does is ask if I want to CALL the contact. It doesnt switch to the text insertion mode so that I can actuially compse a text. In the menu then it asks if I wasnt o call sms or mms the contact.
Any ideas whassup? Or how els one can get a 1 key method of getting to the SMS prog?
TIAHaving a compose shortcut will take to address book to choose a contact so that you can send emails. It will not direct you for making calls or sending SMS text.

Need of a "convenience key"-like feature for the audio jack
This should be a very simple OS patch for the RIM programmers. When the 3.5mm audio output is connected, it would be extremely handy to have something like a "convenience key" feature. To be more precise:
-in Option, Screen/Keyboard, please make a section like "when in audio output, opens:" so one can choose an app, like an MP3 player or anything else
- and another option "when in audio output, connects:" so one can ENABLE bluetooth (and not Set Up bluetooth which is useless) automatically. The bberry will automatically pair with a preset device, like the bluetooth system of a car.
I hope this will be available in future OS or in a quick patch, and I'm sure many other will appreciate such features.Sure.
I don't think anyone (at least I didn't) state it was inappropriate.
But at least you do see it is useless. And, I didn't say that either.

Convenience Key on my Torch does not work
Hi Everyone!
Seek your help as the convenience key on my torch does not work. I have changed the setting as well but to no avail.
Regards - Nitin
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi just an update to the problem of the convenience key not working or working now and again. I had to do a couple of reboots this morning to update some apps and I noticed the key was not working after the reboot so I attached the charging cable to the phone and plugged into the wall socket thinking that will fix it again, but no it didnt. !!! I then remembered the first time I had this sorted I had plugged the charger in and switched the power on and then attached the phone, so I tried this method again and the key is working fine again!!!!. So what ever is happening when you do it in this sequence seems to reset the key. How did you get on with your phone with the Blackberry info?

I need the right side convenience key to go to: Now Playing.
The closest option now is media.
Can you program that into the next OS or provide a link to a 3rd party provider that has this feature?
I use my BB 8300 series for listening to pod cast. Also it would be nice if the media player had a fast forward feature for listening to the commercials in double speed.Go to Options > Screen/Keyboard > Convenience Key and see if you can.

No matter how many times I reset it the left convenience key only brings up the phone book. I want the default voice calling. I've tried setting it to several things to see if it was a problem with just the voice calling but no the phone book is all that key will bring up. The other side works fine. I reset it when I first got my 8110 for the alarm feature but recently decided to change back to default. It won't go back to alarm either. TIA

Hello lillibitt67
To rule out any Software issue I prefer you should Reload your Device Software and see if that helps otherwise you need to contact your Service provider for repair.So please try it first.

Convenience Key Is Not Working!!!
Hi, BB fans I just got a BB Torch 9860 phone. However the convenience key is not working. No matter to what option I set it to, it doesn't work. The default Camera also doesn't work. I have enabled the keytones on my phone. I hear the keytone whenever I press the convenience key. But nothing happens. My phone's running BB OS 7.1 bundle 2061. So.... any prosss can help of this?
I understand. Since you just did an exchange, I recommend taking it to the store.
It sounds like you're setting up the key right, but the button just doesn't work. It doesn't sound like you have additional apps install that could prevent the key from working.
Here is the doc but I think you've got that covered.

Getting IM+Talk to work - convenience key
Good day,
I have loaded IM+Talk and in order for me to transmit voice, it requests that the "left convenience key" be pressed. There is no left convenience key to press.
Skype connects, and I can hear the other party, but cannot transmit voice.
If I go to options to assign an action to the convenience key (situated on the right), it seems that the convenience key only opens applications such as camera (default action).
Question is - how do I then transmit voice using IM+Talk?
Appreciate your feedback.
JeanCmdfnF5 (or just Cmd+F5 if your keyboard is set to use the F keys as F keys instead of vol controls etc.)
Can also be set from System Preferences > Universal Access -

Any plans for convenience keys?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks much. Again.
FYI, a third party app provides multi function capabilities for 9900 CK. I have the first press opening msgs, 2nd press to flashlight, third press to maps... Etc. It works from inside any app. VERY handy and much missed in BB10.
Thanks again for your time and efforts. -
Convenience Keys and mute/play keys are not working on my curve 9300
Convenience Keys and mute/play keys are not working on my curve 9300, can any one help to resove this issue?
Hey amghouri,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
I would suggest backing up and doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test the keys before restoring any data to the device.
If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
Thank you.

Damage of dedicated Volume, Camera convenience keys
Hi,
I have 8520 model BB and all the dedicated convenience keys are damaged. I understand the quality of material used (presume rubber) is sub-standard and is not able to withstand the number of cycles of usage. The instrument was purchased in 2010 and was sparingly used. I have noticed that several of the instruments which are being used by my colleagues in my company have the same problem.
QUESTION : Does BlackBerry have taken up any initiative to replace the damaged (rubber) convenience keys without any additional cost to customers like it is done in the case of Automobiles? or is there a service center which does this at a cost?
I personally feel that this is a quality failure and BlackBerry has to immediately respond on a solution without penalizing the customers.
Anticipate a quick response.i have been having the same problem too since 2-3 days and i am really worried... pls revert back asap. i bought my bbcurve 9300 in march 2011. n i dnt wanna lose it for sm othr new fon.. plz revert back..its really urgnt
