Default to Contacts when any key is hit

currently, by blackberry will bring up the contact list when i hit a key when i am on the main blackberry home page. is there a way to stop this default? i have accidentally dialed people in my contact list because of this default action. i do not want the contact list to be brought up when i strike a key.

Open your Call Log by pressing the green dial key > press the Menu key > Options > General Options > Dial from Home Screen = No.

Equium A210 hangs on Post when any key is pressed

Hi, I have a Equium A210-1C4 that has an odd error, when I boot the machine and don't touch the keyboard it loads into Windows fine and everything works as it should.
If the machine shuts down unexpectdley,on restart it shows the common selection of safe mode and so on with the countdown timer, if I try and select one of the other options with the arrow key the timer stops and the machine hangs (as soon as I press any key) I then have to power it off and allow it to boot without touching anything in order to get it working again.
The same thing occures if I try and press F8 on boot, it just hangs.
I can get into the BIOS settings and also select the boot order settings. The keyboard is functioning well within windows (no stuck keys) and I have reloaded the O/S and flashed the BIOS to try and resolve this.
The Laptop had Vista loaded origianlly but now is Win 7 - both O/S's have had the same issue
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

Since you traded keyboards and got the same results when booting into Windows, it sounds like a Windows issue. Running the Recovery disks would reimage the hard drive and probably fix the problem. However it would wipe out all of the programs, files and settings that you installed and set since you got the computer. It would fix the problem but could cost you a lot in time and preparation by having to backup all of your files, music and pictures. Plus you may need to let some of your program publishers know that you are doing a reimage so you can get your software reinstalled without having to pay a second time. Depending how much stuff you have to backup, this could be a very time consuming process to fix this one problem.

The 'caps lock indicator immediately truns off when any key is pressed.

I have a 6 week old system. When I press(turn on) the 'CAPS LOCK' key it does lite up . However it reverts to lower case - and lite turns off, immediately when ANY OTHER key is touched on the keyboatd.
I ran the anti virus program and it appeared to be fixed. However it does the same thing today, even after I run the anti VIrus program(s) again.
Help!?.........

E71 no longer shows contacts when a key is pressed...

I turned my phone off and on.
Now when I press a key, no contacts appear. Before I would press a letter, some names would pop up with that letter, I could then scroll and call.
Now I have to go to contacts -> press letter -> scroll -> etc
How do I reactivate this functionality?

Make sure you don't have duplicates in your contacts and turn on contact search in the phone settings.

Sound alert and no letter when a key is hit on the keyboard?

Whenever I hit the key to the right of the "shift" key, a sound alert occurs and no letter appears. That's why I can only describe the key, and the type it here. What am I doing wrong. I've replaced the keyboard to no avail.

I have dowloaded a upgrade utility for my laptop from lenovo website but when I try to upgrade it I get a blue screen error and my notebook reboots.... Please help.
Kind regards
Faisal

There is a processing delay. When typing in Word there is a delay between when a key is hit and when the corresponding character appears on the screen. Another example is when scrolling down a page, the scroll is also delayed.

What is cause of processing delay. Fraction of a second delay between hitting a key and seeing result on screen. Another example is when scrolling, the scroll is delayed for a fraction of a second.

This is only in Word? Sounds like Microsoft's software has a bug. Have you checked for available updates in Microsoft AutoUpdate?

First Text field in page submits when Enter key is hit. Don't want Submit

Hi,
I have searched and can't find this answer I got before...
The Text field does not have the Submit always when pressed included, just a standard Text Item.
because it is the first text field in the page.. or maybe it was because its the only text field on the page that causes it to "Submit" the page when the "Enter" key is pressed.
I do not want the Enter key to Submit the page.
Was it to add a dummy hidden text field before this text field?

Awesome... I just found a post also with same answer!
Thank you very much!

How to detect any key pressed for program running in the background?

Hi All,
is it possible to detect when any key is pressed if a java program is not in the focus? For example, when I have a console based program I can write something like:
System.in.read();
and wait until any key is pressed. However, if I move the mouse away from the console and make any other window active, the console program "doesn't hear" anything. Ok, it's clear, of course, but how is it possible to make the program detect any keys pressed even if it's running in the background?
Thanks a lot for any hints!

There are very few legitimate problem domains that would require what you are asking about. There are illegitimate ones though. And the legitimate ones would generally require someone with quite a bit of programming experience and would also be required (the fact that java can't do it would not get rid of the requirement.)
Thus one might make assumptions about your intentions.

Well I am truly staggered, I have tried this on two different MacBook Pros, with three different external USB optical drives. Don't know if you googled as I suggested but you would find hundreds of others who have found same thing. The exception is MacBook Air which works with the Apple writer, but I don't know much about this.
Were you doing any of the special workarounds with refedit etc?

Just powered down and moved my iMac and when powered back up all it says is no bootable disc-please insert disc and hit any key......what do I do?

when starting up my iMac (had just moved it from one room to another, was working fine) it only shows on the screen "no bootable disc...please insert disc and hit any key".....what do I do?

That sounds like a message from a DOS-based computer. A Mac would just show a folder with a question mark, unless they've changed things recently. Do you have a BootCamp partition?
Try holding down the option key immediately after the Chime. You should go into the startup manager and it will show all bootable drives. Pick yours, then go into System Preferences and set your startup disk.
Next would be to try a Safe Boot by holding down the shift key right after the chime until you see the gray screen. It will take a while to boot up as it is running some disk checks.

Hi, My computer has started to talk to me. Every key I touch it tells me what it is, any activity t all it repeats it, for example "HTML Contact" when i go online. I can't find where to switch off this preference? It's an iMac G5.

Turn off VoiceOver in the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.

When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'. Not sure how to fix this.

I'm not sure what to do, I did not recieve a cd with my mac to boot it up (I ordered it online).
Also I can't find my harware serial number (I've tried many times to input what I thought it may be from my receipt). I saw that I need this number to contact apple support, my 90 day complimentary support is still valid so I wish to contact them.
I don't know much about apple products as this is my first apple computer so any information is helpful.

Hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your iMac to get the Boot Selection screen.
From that choose to boot into OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.
The new iMacs have OSX 10.7 Lion preinstalled and don't come with any CD/DVD anymore.
Instead OSX Lion includes a new feature called "Lion Recovery".

S10 Loads Bios then Stops, have to Hit Any Key to Load Windows XP

I have a Lenovo S10, after powering on, the just loads the bios screen of LENOVO. With the F2 & F12 at the bottom of the screen. If you press F2 to setup & F12 to Boot Menu, it will do so.
When you press other keys, it will then load windows xp.
In the Boot Order, I already put the HDD on top (the first) but you have to hit any key for Windows to load.
Why?
Also, flashed the bios to version 14CN94WW. But did not help.
Suggestions? Assistance?

Hi and welcome to lenovo forum,
to exclude BIOS ... go in BIOS and press F9 to setup defaults....
set in Config page quickstart disabled and Beep disabled
F10 and exit
unplug PSU and Battery press 30seconds switch On Button ...
Then plug PSU and Battery in ... press Switch On ... if this wait behavior is gone...OK if not ... it could something to do with harddrive ... easy if you have another harddrive to check this , if not save your data and work on other media and recover to factory condition...
overal there is no wait for key in BIOS should boot straight forward into OS without that press any key ...

Please Wait Screen when I touch any key

I believe that I am upgraded to windows 8.1, but I'm not entirely sure about that. I do have automatic updates on, so that is why I believe that I do. I have been having trouble getting an internet connection over the last week on boot up. A few days ago I used a reset command at the command prompt, restarted my computer and the connection was fine.
Yesterday I decided that I would do something different because I still had no internet connection. I uninstalled my Qualcomm Atheros AR9845 wifi adapter software from the control panel and now that I'm writing this, I probably shouldn't have done that. The computer froze at the "finding a software to update with" window and I had to power off the computer. It booted up with no problems, though I had no chance of getting an internet connection now. Then I went on to uninstall the drivers for the wifi adapter. There were no drivers to be found, obviously, since I had no internet connection. I used another computer and found one for win 8, not realizing at the time that I had 8.1 as I believe, downloaded it, saved it to a flash drive, and then uploaded it to my internet connectionless computer. It said it was fine and I rebooted.
Ever since I rebooted I have been stuck in a loop. Once it starts booting up it comes to a green screen with a Please Wait sign and it just spins then it goes to the welcome screen. If I click my mouse it goes to the Please Wait screen. If I touch a key on the keyboard it goes to the Please Wait screen. After 30 seconds or so it goes back to the welcome screen. On the welcome screen there is an icon with the monitor and cord with a red x where the internet connection usually shows. I know this means there is no network connection. I don't know if that has any relevance to the problem.
I used my son's computer and made a flash drive reboot drive to get to the repair/recovery process, only that didn't work because it's not looking for it. This is when I realized I most likely had windows 8.1 because I couldn't make a repair/recovery disk. I had to use a flash drive when using his computer. Apparently that's a windows 8.1 thing. I have looked up everything I know to use as keywords to find a solution to this problem. I have seen a couple of similar issues, but they were old or didn't have quite the same problem. One was about static discharge and to unplug everything from your computer and even unplugging the power cord. Tried that. Didn't work. I am completely unable to get to anything where I can actually get into a screen because it goes to the Please Wait screen. I tried the safe mode from outside of windows trick for HP computers using the ESC key when it boots up. Guess what? The Please Wait screen. Every time I hit any key it just goes to the Please Wait screen. Right now I have a very expensive paper weight. It is completely unusable and I have no idea how to get to the troubleshooting screen since everything I do just takes me right back to the Please Wait screen.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, I would be absolutely grateful! I have included all that I know to include at this point.
Thanks so much!
Jill

Get "no bootable device- insert boot disc and hit any key" error

Hp G72 Laptop, Windows 7 64 bit,
"no bootable device-insert boot disc and hit any key" (I have no boot disc.)
I was in the process of replacing the hard drive and the computer was starting the final phase after copying all files. When it restarted the first time, I got the message. I was getting this message randomly prior to replacing the hard drive and if I turned it off for 2 or 3 hours and turned back on I would not get the message. The reason for replacing the hard drive was a "Smart Disc " imminent failure error message.

Yes and yes. The final recovery disc had completed and it was moving to the next phase. It said the computer would restart several times during this phase and when it went to the first restart, the error message came up and I could proceed no further. I ctrl/alt/del and restarted, pressed escape to get the start-up menu but was lost at all the options. The information screen looked like the old hard drive info.
