N95 - keypad not working

Hello,
5-6 days ago I updated the software on my N95 using PC Suite. Everything was fine until 2-3 days ago when the keypad stopped working. When I pressed some button the phone went crazy and started opening random things. I didn't dropped it or get it wet. I tried removing the battery, removing the SIM card - nothing worked. The next day, all the sudden the phone was working again. The day after that the keypad stopped working again. Now it's either not working at all or it's opening random things by pressing some buttons or working normal for a while ...
By the keypad I mean ALL the buttons (including the media keys on the side) except the ON/OFF button on the top (it's the only one working all the time).
So, please tell me is this a software or hardware problem ?
Plus, I'm really really tired of this phone. I've already paid about 150 Euro for repearing which were not because of my fault and now maybe I have to pay and wait even more .. This phone is nothing but trouble for me so far and it is the most expensive one I've buyed ...

Well, I took it for repair and after a first look the guys said that the whole keypad must be changed. After a few days I recieved a call from them to tell me that it is not worth it to be repaired and it will be better just to buy a new one.
We are talking about a pricey phone which never been dropped or got wet, but it was repaired a lot of times for defects. So, I will buy a new phone, but I doubt it if you can convince me to buy Nokia again ...

Problems with lost bookmarks, keypad not working, apps shutting down

Out of the blue, while I was still using Safari, all my bookmarks disappeared. No matter how many times I tried to add a bookmark it doesn't show up on my Bookmarks tab. I've tried adding a new folder on my bookmarks tab but it doesn't work either. I don't know what's going on. I've already reset my iPhone once because there were so many problems after I downloaded iOS4.
Also, I don't recall seeing "History" under the Bookmark tab but now it's there. The History option (along with the websites, etc.) comes and goes. Even after I delete everything from the Settings app, the history still shows up afterwards.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If I absolutely need to (again), I'll reset my iPhone. I honestly didn't think I was going to have this many problems with iOS4. Everything was perfect before I downloaded the new operating system. I'm also experiencing other problems with iOS4 such as the keypad not working during a phone call and apps shutting down multiple times. Again, any help or suggestions would be great.

Keys-keypad not working

Certain keys on my Curve 8300 keypad are not working, the Q A W and space bar are pretty much non-working. If I hold them down hard 1 out of 10 times I'll get them to work. I've only had a replacement blackberry for a couple of months, so it is fairly new and I take care of it, keep it in a case and have not dropped it or exposed it to water or sand, etc. Any ideas.

hey im having the same problem did u get it solved the same keys are not working on my phone as well
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!

Numeric keypad not working

The numeric keypad no longer functions with my Apple keyboard when trying to input numbers with Excel or AppleWorks. It has functioned in the past. The screen just freezes. Not sure what might have caused the change. Trying a different known working keyboard with keypad does not work either.
Would doing a SMU reset help?
Any suggestions?
Disk Utilities corrected permissions but the problem persists.

Thanks for the hint, I found the following:

My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.

The track pad scrool but you cant confirm nothing with it nothing else works on the phone can some please tell me whats the problem and how it can be solved.

Hey,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
It seems you may have a hardware issue with the keypad but I would suggest to first try doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software and then test.

Keyboard Keypad not working

iMac G5 rev.A OS 10.4.11, Original Apple Pro Keyboard
I never noticed that the numerical keypad on the RH side of my keyboard was inoperative, in that I cannot use the keys to type the digits in any text, nor for entering numbers in an Excel spreadsheet cell.
I never use it except to use the 12346789 keys to nudge the pointer. I always use, by habit I guess, the number keys above the letter keys.
I checked the Finder’s Help and did not find any specific info about the numerical keypad. I thought that may be the Extended Keyboard that came with the computer, somehow had not been identified properly when I installed OS 10.4. Reading Finder’s help about that subject, it said to “Open Preferences, Click Keyboard and Mouse, Click Keyboard, Click the “Change Keyboard Type” button, and Follow the steps when the Keyboard Setup Assistant appears.”
I have one problem: my Keyboard and Mouse Preference does not have a Change Keyboard Type button.
Any suggestions as to how I can get the numerical keypad to work?

Hi,
This morning my numeric keypad quit working and
I lost an hour trying to fix it
(COUGH theft of my time).
This article didn't come up in a Google search
because this article doesn't use correct terminology.
So, for Google's benefit, I'll add a few search terms here:
numeric keypad stopped working
numeric keypad doesn't work
numeric keypad won't work
numeric keypad quit working
Mac OS X 10.3
G3 G4 G5
_Recommended Solutions_:
1. Press the Option key 5 times to turn Mouse Keys off.
2. Better yet, disable the feature so it can't get turned on again
every time a book leans against the keyboard.
Go into System Preferences,
click Universal Access,
click the Mouse tab (even though this is a keyboard problem),
and uncheck the checkbox labeled "Press the option key five times to turn Mouse Keys on or off".
Gotchas suck!

Hp pavilion dv7 notebook numeric keypad not working

The numeric keypad on my hp pavilion dv7 notebook does not work. I can't get the num lock to work or any of the number keys to respond.

Hi,
While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
Shutdown the notebook.
Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Note: If the keyboard doesn't work when trying to access or navigate the Bios Menu, then this is probably a hardware fault.
Regards,
DP-K

6.84, Vista and N95 - Still not working

I was kind of hoping that 6.84 would be the answer to a few problems however there are still problems with the Nokia Flagship and Microsofts Flagship OS.
The Driver for the "Nokia N95 Bluetooth Modem" still is not supported comes up with Code 10 Error. Driver is not automatically detected by windows. I manually used "Nokia Phone Bluetooth Modem" which works OK.
The other Bluetooth Services such as OBEX still do not have drivers available for them.
Still appears to be Malfunctioning really. IMO Perhaps its wise to make sure things interwork with each other rather than rushing to bring them out.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

I mean that the system is unable to initalise and install device driver for "Bluetooth perhiperal device".
If the stack is unable to support the profiles then the phone should not request them.
Also the driver that is "Nokia N95 Bluetooth" Does not work under Vista - I suspect that its a Windows XP Driver, because it comes back with "Code 10 This device cannot start"
Come on now, Vista has been in Beta for ages and RTM for at least six months there is really no excuse for it.

Number keypad not working.

I am having a weird issue. My number keypad on the keyboard is not working. I thought it was my keyboard, but when I create a new account, it works then. So it is as if I changed something accidently somewhere and now it is not working. I am using Leopard 10.5.3. Is there soemwhere I can go to re-activate the keypad?

Maybe hit the NUM Lock key by accident?
I use 3rd party keyboard; this AM my keyboard wasn't working. All I did was install Xcode 3.1 yesterday and had a very long blue screen for 4 minutes on first boot.
I had to do safe boot and go to keyboard: configure and then reboot.
Odd.

E63 Keypad not working at Times

I have E63 which i have purchased just 5 months back. Key pad works in bizzare manner, some time it works and some times it doesnt even respond. From past 2 days i couldnt unlock my phone since the unlock key is not working/responding, only the red(disconnect) key works. This happened many times in this month, the whole thing goes down for few hours and suddenly again it starts working. i have forcibly restarted the phone by removing and replacing the battery but no use. is there any mothd to format the phone, i have tried answerkey+*+3 it didnt work. Please help me out.

I too experience intermittent problems unlocking my E63-1. Often (once a month or so) I'll receive an SMS, go to unlock the keypad in the usual way, to find the top-left soft key does nothing.
The other buttons appear to work, in as much as pressing a key cancels the screensaver (clock) and pressing "red" (end/power) lights up the screen and keypad in the usual way. The phone clearly has not "crashed" as such, since it will accept incoming calls and text messages (and I can even send and read messages over a bluetooth connection!), but the keypad is simply ignored. The only way I've found to get back control of the phone is to pull out the battery to force a restart.
I can only assume it's a software problem, and I don't think there's a solution or even a workaround at present. As with so many problems, we can only hope that someone from Nokia is reading and decides to investigate: as I've previously mentioned in other threads there appears to be no feedback from frontline support to the phone developers. I hope someone proves me wrong!

Hi
By everything, I assume you have wiped the device and reloaded the software as you do not specify what "everything" is.
So having done that have you cleaned the keyboard?

Part of Keypad Not Working

Hi everyone,
I have an LG VX5400 phone, and have been having trouble with the keypad for the past week or so. Specifically, the middle column of numbers (2, 5, 8, and 0) does not work. I can't press any of these numbers, which makes texting very difficult. In addition, I also can't press the Speaker Phone button, the Send button, or the "up" button on the left side of the phone (which increases master volume). The rest of the keys work as normal. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

How long have you had the Device ? If you've had it for a long time 6 month or a year it might be the contact pads on the underside of your key pad is worn down or Worn out.. Is the phone around allot of Dust Like farming, Grain Elevator, Etc. or are you were there is allot of moisture any one of those elements can cause shortness of Life in the Keypads..But if your not around any of that as i mentioned it might just physical wear..
I would take it too the Local come store and have a Rep or Manager take a look at it and if they can't get it to work as mentioned they'll possibly send you home with a new one or a Refurbished one... or have one sent to your residence..
