N97 Numeric keypad on call problem

Hi All,
Quick question. When you call a company which has an automated IVR, sometimes you have to enter not just numbers but also letters. The touchscreen keypad which comes up on the N97 while on a call can enter numbers fine but displays no letters above the numbers (as per use with T9) is there any update or way to adjust this to display the letters above the numbers or is it a case of guess work?
Thanks!
N95 | v31.0.017 | Wish I never updated the firmware

Just after you dial the number and begin the call the lower right-hand soft-key on the touchscreen says "Dialer".
Press this and the keypad comes back up for you to use.
Enjoy!

N97 Screen Lock / answering call problem.

I have an N97 with software version 11.0.021.
If my phone is locked, and someone phones, I can either answer the call or unlock the phone.
If I unlock the phone, all is OK. BUT if I choose to answer the call, when the remote caller hangs up, my screen stays black - unless I open the keyboard - but closing the keyboard causes the screen to go black again.
The only way I have found to recover from this is to power the phone off and back on again...

A common missed detail is that you can answer without unlocking, and without changing settings to answer with any key.
The animated graphics when a call comes in actually mean something. You should just place your finger on the screen, and slide it in the direction the arrow leads, for the approriate action. So, to answer, place the finger on the screen, and slide it from left to right.
Too bad the manual don't explain this properly.
Exactly. The only thing that confuses people is the unlock that also shows up on the screen. This leads them to believe that the device is locked.
I think it's not just the lack of detail in the manual but, they should do away with that "unlock" feature altogether from showing up when a call comes in. I note there's two modes here; two functions actually: hardware answer key and a software GUI.
Since there's two means to answering the device, if your using the hardware key, it makes sense to have to unlock it first and, on the software means of answering, there's no need to unlock it as the swipe motion will answer the call.

Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
1/ If i hit @ i get <
2/ if i hit < i get @
3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
etc....
It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
Thanks
Marc

ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
Thanks

Numeric Keypad Problems

I have the USB keyboard which has a numeric keypad with no num-lock key. This morning my number keys and the "." key on that keypad stopped working. The =,/,*,-,and + keys all work properly.
My research on this topic gave a number of suggestions, none of which worked -- including pressing the F6 key, shift-clear, going into the Universal preference pane to see if sticky keys was on. I also repaired permissions and ran all of the routine maintenance scripts. None of this helped.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

OK, then it's not the Keyboard, something is messed up with the OS.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Introduce a keyboard with built in numeric keypad option on the W500 Lenovo!!

Ok, so this is not so much of a question as suggestion to Lenovo and call for any who think its a good idea to ad your support in appealing to Lenovo to offer it.
There are a number of competitors out there who make 15.x inch laptops and provide a numeric keypad on the keyboard. I do a lot of entering of numbers (and I suspect do a significant proportion of other potential W500 buyers) and not having a numeric keypad is a real limitation. Separate USB keypads don't really fix the problem because they don't offer the convenience and ergonomics of having it on the keyboard. Given the fact that it is aimed at true power users who can justify its cost, it should also offer the option of the keypad. I know this would mean a redesign but I believe there is enough room there (there may need to be some resizing of the current keys to fit it in but for those who crunch a lot of number its would be worth it. Given that many of the competitors who offer less capable machines can successfully fit the numeric keypad on a 15 inch machine then Lenovo should be able to do it without stuffing up the integrity/userbility if the current keyboard.
Anyone agree?

The laptops my employer provides (probook 6550b & elitebook 8560's) have numeric keypads. What I dislike about the keyboards with them is how off-center the keyboard, track pad and touch pad are. Haveing the keybpard centered is much better for true mobile work. A number pad sounds nice, and If I were an accountant, CPA or someone that works with numbers a great deal, it coul dbe a desireable feature. (or get an external number pad if that important.) Overll, I like the placement of lenovo's keyboard and other keys much better than what HP has done.

F14 not working as PRINT SCREEN for XP with apple numeric keypad

i posted this elsewhere but i am basically desperate to get a couple things finalized over here so apologies if no one knows how to solve this one. just sort of hoping to get some things out of my hair once and for all...
i have an apple keyboard with numeric keypad on my mac pro running windows xp and windows 7 in addition to Lion.
for some reason the F14 key is not getting me a print screen despite spending a /lot/ of time trying to get this working.
can anyone help me get this figure out finally? there is a lot of info on the net about this but now much help.
mac tech articles seem pretty sure that F14 should be working.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636
what am i missing?

hi mooblie.
a huge (HUGE!) thanks here for the help. i have been googling this off and on for about a year believe it or not.
anyway, the lowdown appears to be Snip tool in win 7 as you indicate (right click i think it was to a save on taskbar once it was opened) and then i used Applekeys2 which i downloaded while in windows xp.
two notes for those that come after. 1. i did download keyboard layout creator which is a windows tool but it seemed much more powerful (and complicated) than i needed at least for this initial issue to get me going finally.
2. i can't remember if snip tool will drop an image file in a folder or on the desktop but i did FINALLY REALIZE that part of my problem here with windows XP was that you HAVE TO PASTE the captured image into a windows image program (i am using "Paint" i think which i also pin to the taskbar). this was a major pain because having gotten used to the mac screenshot i was totally clueless that it did not function so seamlessly in windows!!
anyway, in short the Mac screencapture could be considered a "screencapture and save to file" and the windows (XP at least) could be called a "screencapture to windows whatever memory and then DON'T FORGET you will have to paste it somewhere..."
this requires a /lot/ of clickthroughs so i am still looking for:
A. one shot screencapture to file on desktop funtion in the windows OS's
B. screencapture /selected/ area instead of whole screen since this also requires post editing that i would like to avoid.
anyway - BIG THANKS.

Using Numeric Keypad In Oracle Forms 6i

Dear All,
I am facing some problems when I am Working with Numeric Keypad on Oracle Forms 6i.
I have 10 Buttons and In Every Button Property I have defined the "Access Key".
e.g
Buttons | Property   | Value
Button1 | Access Key | "1"
Button2 | Access Key | "2"
Button3 | Access Key | "3"
Button4 | Access Key | "4"
Button5 | Access Key | "5"
Button6 | Access Key | "6"
Button7 | Access Key | "7"
Button8 | Access Key | "8"
Button9 | Access Key | "9"
Button0 | Access Key | "0"Example : When I will Press Only "1" Using Numeric Keypad, Message Window will appear with the Message "You have Pressed 1..."
All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.
But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".
How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.
Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.
Thanks in Advance

It works for me on 10g but the only pitfall is the " * ", the workaround is to use the " & " in the label next to the key you want.
for example:
Button*   label &*
Button-   label   &-
Button/   label   &/
Button+   label   &+
Button.   label   &.Try it

Update jtable cell via numeric keypad

Hi,
I have a problem, trying to figure out how to input numbers in a jtextfield in a jtable cell, from a group of jbuttons (rendered as a numeric keypad). I can get the cell to focus, but when I click on one of the jbuttons in the keypad, the cell loses focus and nothing is printed. I can update the cell by directly typing from the keyboard; that works fine. But I'm lost when trying to do it from the touch-screen keypad. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I assume I need to attach additional listeners somewhere.
Thanks in-advance.
Lee

I can get the cell to focus, Then the code for you button would need to be something like:
String text = (String)table.getValueAt(...);
String updated = text + button.getText();
table.setValueAt(updated, ...);

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 "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,
Jeffri

Lightroom 5.5 doesn't recognize 'Shift + numeric keypad number' keyboard shortcuts in windows 7

Some Lightroom keyboard shortcuts, e.g. color labels recognize the numeric keypad on my windows pc. When I press 6 it sets the color label to red. According to the keyboard shortcut guide, pressing Shift then a number key should set the color label and move to the next photo. Instead, when pressing a number on the number keypad it recognizes Shift + 6 as a directional arrow, as printed on the key below the '6' and simply moves to the next photo without setting a color label on the first photo. The same applies to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 keys on the keypad. They all have a directional function associated with them.
I do not have this problem when pressing Shift + a number key along the top of my keyboard. These combinations work as expected.
Does anyone know how I change the number keypad to behave the same as the number keys at the top of my keyboard?
Thanks - Michael

Try booting the fallback kernel, there is a problem with the AHCI driver concerning new Macbooks. When you've booted, add ata_generic to the modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the initrd with mkinitcpio -p kernel26.

Enabling numeric keypad

Hi,
I have a java application where I cannot use the numeric keypad on the keyboard while running it on linux. The NumLock is on and I still cannot use them (nothing happens when I type on them). I do not think its soemthing in my code since when I run it on Windows the numeric keypad works fine. Unless I have to do something special for linux... does anyone know why this happens? I checked it on some other application (not mine) and I had the same problem. Help anyone?
Thanks

It sounds like a problem in linux. I suggest you ask the forum for the version of linux you have.
I am not aware of anything you need to in java to enable to num lock.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

This is a very basic question but does anyone know how to change the numeric keypad to letters ? When on a call I need to change the numbers to letters but don't know how to do this.

The phone keypad does not change. If you need to enter a phone number expressed as letters, just type the corresponding key that shows the letters beneath the numbers. For example, APPLE is 27553.
If you want to type something else during a call, tap the speaker button to put the call on speaker and press the home button and tap the app you want to use such as Notes, and type your note. Tap the green bar at the top of the screen to return to the phone.

Numeric keypad locked on

I have a problem like this with my Powerbook G4 17 - it's a system which was upgraded from a Pismo to a Powerbook G4 17, with software strarting from 10.0 and upgraded through Leopard.
The problem is the first Powerbooks supported the embedded numeric keypad, and now that there is no more support for the numeric keypad, but my Powerbook G4 doesn't know that.
The keyboard acts like the numeric keypad is engaged, and I don't know how to turn it off.
When I first got my MacBook Pro 17 (early 2008) and transferred software with the Apple migration tool (via firewire) I had this symptom but the guy at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store went in to Preferences and disabled something in the Universal Access Control Panel, but I don't remember what.
Now that my Powerbook G4 17 is experiencing the same symptom, I don't know what to turn off.
Note that this doesn't happen when I Screen Share or VNC into the Powerbook.

Sorry for the long delay.
Actually, I did - duhh - finally actually take a look at my Powerbook G4 and found that it did indeed support the embedded numeric keyboard, and I could turn it off the proper key.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
