N95 Keypad Issues - Help
I have just returned from my first holiday in 6 years, and very nice it was too. I used my N95 as the camera as there seemed no point carrying a seperate one when the camera is such a decent one anyway.
The phone worked after our return and well for our first day back, yesterday. I got up this morning and my phone is completely none-functional!
The only button which works is the power switch, the media buttons do nothing (except rotate the screen when exposed) the number keys do nothing, and the keys under the screen do nothing. I have tried taking the battery out, I have left it without battery for 15+ minutes, and I then cannot reset the clock.
I guess the next step is to take it for repair, but that means everything will be deleted, this is not good as all my holiday photos are on it!!
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Your holiday photo's should be safe on the phones memory card. You can test this by using it in a card reader on a PC.
Your phone is behaving like it's been exposed to moisture which has caused internal damage. Obviously I can't say that for definite.
What you need to do is take it to a nokia care point. If moisture is the cause it won't be covered by warranty. I hope it just turns out to be a simple hardware failure instead so that you may be covered.

Hi.
I'm having keypad issues with my Blackberry Curve 3G. It has been fine all day but since about 5pm, when I press the green 'call' button, it has been bringing up the letters 'jk'. It also does the same thing when I type 'f', 'j', 'k' and use the caps button. Last time a software update fixed this, however I am now using the latest OS.
My daughter got hold of it earlier and had one corner of it in her mouth. Could this be the issue? Will it rectify itself once dried out?=thread moved to Z1 forum=

my iphone5 has keypad issue which is getting stuck and the display starts blinking the phone doesn't respond until it's turned off n switched on what might be the solution ???
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -

There are well-featured models out there now for 2-300 bucks. But watch out for cameras that connect to the computer via a dock. I had two Sony with these @#$% docking stations .... both docks broke and rendered the cameras useless for capturing. replacing the dock was nearly the price of a new cam. -
Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!
You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G. -
8700g Strange Keypad Issue: Letters typed do not appear on screen
I support two 8700g users. I too am an 8700g user and have not experienced this problem: randomly and intermittently, the users report when they are typing messages on the keypad, strange combinations of letters appear instead. There is no apparent pattern to which keys are pressed, what order they are pressed in, or what appears on the screen; this, too, is random. This aggravating problem appears and disappears at will whether or not the battery is removed or not. Of the two units, one is brand new as of January 2008 while the other has had some exposure to water and has been wiped twice, once for this weird keypad issue. The language selected is English and the auto-text is off on both units. The units otherwise work according to specification. We are on a BES using MS Exchange. I have read on other boards sometimes there are identifiable patterns in what is keyed and what appears, but I have not been able to establish such patterns with these users. Can anyone offer a diagnosis and a permanent solution? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thank you, Bifocals, for your reply! Memory is an issue, but more importantly a recognizable pattern DID emerge so I could identify and resolve the issue: when the user typed "a" they got "on on" and when they typed "no" they got "pt no pot" - which I learned is caused by the input language accidentally being changed to Catala. I learned via this and in other BB forums the input language can be easily changed when the ALT and CAP keys are pressed simultaneously, the old way of locking the keyboard on the BB 7250.
Eureka!
Thanks again,

Okay well i just bought my n95 like a month ago and one day i look at my phone the backlight just pretty much gone. So is there anything i can do to get it back. Or do i need to send it back to Nokia and get it replace?
Heh,2 men and a horse walk into a taco stand...
When I boot, the backlight does not light up and cannot be changed up/down.
but when I come out of sleep the backlight kicks in and works normaly.
My workaround so far is just to quickly sleep each time I boot.
But I've noticed laitly when I launch certain things (like certain games) the backlight kicks back off. -
E66: "press unlock to activate keypad" issue
hi,
i've been using the phone for a few months now and i noticed recently that sometimes,when i lock the keypad, i get the "press unlock to activate keypad" message, on and on, without me touching any buttons at all. It just keeps appearing very rapidly.the backlight goes off but the screensaver won't start because of this message that keeps appearing as if i was pressing one of the buttons continuously.
whether i use the slide or the keys to lock the phone, it happens anyway.
if i unlock the keypad everything works well, no problems at all.
it doesn't happen all the time, but is really annoying when it does.
please help,
thanks.
hi,Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Ever since the update I am having issues with my Droid X keypad. Whenever I try to type the keypad will disappear or it won't type the correct letters and it becomes quite a mess. I thought maybe it was my texing app but it appears to be happening in any app I try to type in. I took it to the Verizon store and the guy switched it into the swype mode and it seems to work like that, but I don't like swyping and I don't like pecking in the swype mode. He said it was an issue with the new software but had a replacement phone sent to me anyway. Still the same problem with the replacement phone. Anyone else expereiencing the same issue and possibly know of a fix?
Sometimes clearing the learned words from the Settings / Lauguage and Keyboard / Multi-Touch Keyboard / Clear Learned Words helps....
Another option you can try is Smart Keyboard, I posted about this app at http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/BEST-KEYBOARD-REPLACEMENT-EVER/m-p/572950 you may want to check it out.. -
Hi
I am not sure if this has a really simple answer (ie pay for it) but downloaded the UK map last week and have tried ever since to start using the Sat Nav.
What ever I tried it just didn't get a GPS signal... Next I tried using my separate GPS receiver and blue toothing it to my N95. It paired perfectly but still no GPS signal received.
Is this because the guys at Nokia want more of my hard earned cash for using Sat Nav?
Any help appreciated.
A.Hi adrianwalsh
You only need to pay if you want "voice navigation"
Go outside hold phone with keypad slider open at 45 degrees, don't cover the "#" key as GPS antenna is below this. you need view of clear sky away from buildings and trees.
I suggest you open GPS data application to monitor situation.
Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > GPS data > Position > Open > Options > Satellite status > Open:
You will see 5 empty rectangle outlines, you need a minimum of three solid black rectangles for triangulation, but usually get four for lock-on postion.
If you don't get any solid bars by 20 mins your GPS isn't working!
Start Maps on N95 and get satellite lock-on (RED CROSS on satellite icon bottom right disappears) location is then saved on closing application (get message above globe on screen)

Hello Palm Forums -
I have a Centro with Verizon... I went to make a call today and keypad was frozen. No buttons work. However touch screen does work. Tried to hotsynk and nothing happened. Tried hard reset and when asked "erase all data?" palm ring dosnt work so i cant press up to choose yes or no.
please advise or point me in the right direction.

Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
This question was solved.
View Solution.I'm out of ideas. Since you can't do a Hard Reset, you can't determine if it's a software problem. If the phone is under warranty, I'd return it ASAP to Verizon.
I would have suggested downloading the "Hard Reset" program from palmpowerups.com, but you can't Hotsync... BTW, what happens when you try to HotSync? Since you can still use the screen, what happens when you Open the Hotsync app, and tap the big Hotsync icon in the middle? What happens when you tap the Hotsync button on the cable?
Can you get to the Prefs icon and check all the Keyguard settings?

Nokia BH-902 and Nokia N95 Compatible Issue
Hi, I have just bought the new Nokia BH-902 OLED headset and manage to pair and use as voice call. However,it keep synchronizing the Recent Calls and nothing appear. Tested on Nokia 6120 Classic and same thing, synchronize and no effect. I guess must be the Phonebook Address Profile not compatible in N95 and 6120 Classic. Will there be a new firmware update in N95 to resolve the issue?
My main purpose is to see who call, missed call, recent dial and dialed number. I had pay quite alot for this headset and end up only can see "Incoming Calls" and also no Recent Calls log. Please help. Thanks!is the BH-902 listed in the compatiblity list for head phone for N95? If it is, then you can demand a replacement! There really lots of issues regarding blue tooth devices. Bluetooth profiles differs from one manufacturer to the other, & even with the same manufacturers its an evolving & improving technology!

N95 keypad lock, screen stops updating?
When running a sample application that moves a ball around the screen and the keypad gets locked, the application freezes and the screen dims. When the keypad is unlocked, the app continues from the point it left. I can't find an explanation anywhere on the behavior of the phone when keypad lock is on. I would like to have an app keep running normally without the screen dimming, even if the keypad is locked.
Questions:
Is there any documentation on the behavior of the n95 when keypad lock is on?
Is there any way to keep an application going w/ keypad locked?
Can the backlight be set to stay at the level the application had it set to when the keypad gets locked?
Is connectivity (i.e. bluetooth) also affected when the keypad is locked?try this
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute). -
Lumia 720 - screen feeze and keypad issues
Hi,
My lumia 720 has for a for a while now started to freeze when doing anything! Initially the phone seems to do weird things like the keypad pops up and srarts typing randomly then after a second or two the screen will just freeze and will not respond to anything. I have to press the lock screen button to lock the phone then unlock it to be able to use my phone again. Initially the problem only occurred once every week but now it happens every few minutes and is becoming untolerable. I really need to get this issue fixed! Has anyone come across the same issue and got it resolved. Nokia please help!Hi Abbas001,
Sorry to hear this. Here are the troubleshootings that we can do on your phone:
1. Restart your phone.
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds. Release and the phone will restart. If the problem persists, reset and restore your phone as instructed below.
* Just a quick reminder, doing the reset will wipe off everything that you have on the phone. In case the phone is not responding anymore to anything, we can't do anything to save them. However, if your Windows Live account is signed in on the phone, your contacts, pictures and videos will be synchronized to it.
2. Reset and restore your phone.
Important: This erases all personal content on your phone and restores the factory settings.
Make sure your phone’s battery level is above 50%. To check the remaining battery life, go to Settings > battery saver > battery info. If you are not able to check it, or the level is too low, charge your phone for at least 20 minutes.
Switch off your phone, and disconnect the charger.
Press and hold the volume down key, and connect the charger. An exclamation mark (!) is shown on the screen.
Press the keys in the following order: volume up, volume down, power, and volume down. Your phone resets, and boots up. This may take several minutes.
3. Update your phone software
You may not be using the most recent software for your phone.
To check if there is new software available for your phone, on the start screen, swipe left, and tap Settings > phone update > check for updates.
See more information on updating your phone software.
