Re-boot Blackberry Phone With No Physical Keyboard

With the standard keyboard version of BB phone simply pressing Alt+RightShift+Del all at the same time will force the phone to do a re-boot. Back in the days of PC-DOS pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del accomplished the re-boot.
With the new BB10 touch screen phone, I would be curious to know how the re-boot can be manually done...???

Pathetic lack of 4G phones with no physical keyboard

I've been a Verizon customer since my first mobile phone and I was one of the first people to buy the original Droid when it launched, but the leaked news about the upcoming Droid 3 has me strongly leaning towards going with another carrier. I find it baffling that the Droid 3 would come out right now and not be 4G enabled. It hasn't even been released and it's already outdated, and yet Verizon will insist on sticking people with 2 year contracts for a phone that will never be able to connect to its fastest networks. I've yet to hear of any other 4G phone that even MIGHT come to Verizon with a physical keyboard, an absolute 100% dealbreaker for me. The loyal early adopters who jumped on the Android bandwagon and made it the juggernaut it is today come out of contract in July. We want physical keyboards and we want cutting edge phones. Where is the phone you think we're going to buy, Verizon? Because everything else I've seen is a joke.

This has been a significant frustration for me as well. I follow phones pretty closely and have kept up on all the rumors, leaks, and announcements on the various forums from BGR to droidforums and howardforums. What is killing me is that there is not so much as an obfuscated indication that Verizon will have a 4g with a physical keyboard any time in the future.
They are rolling out more and more candybar phones and there are, essentially, zero options for anyone who does not like the candybar models with only virtual keyboards. Meanwhile, the other 4g carriers all have phones out with physical keyboards. Sprint actually has at least 2 of their 4g phones with physical keyboards and have had them out for months now. Seriously, how hard is it for Verizon to get it together and diversify their offerings with something other than yet another candybar 4g phone?
The real kicker is Verizon put out the Droid 3 without 4g. Seriously. What are you guys thinking? 4g covers a huge part of the market and your only new Android phone with physical keyboard is only 3g? Was this an attempt at marketing suicide?
Those who say you don't really need a physical keyboard must not use the phone the same way many of us in professional environments with detailed and quick response demands migth use them. I have tried numerous virtual keyboards and none of them are responsive and fast enough to keep up with me. One my Droid 1, I can hammer out significantly detailed and thorough responses very quickly with little to no error. This is why so many BB users demand the physical keyboard of the BB. If the virtual keyboards were good enough, trust me, we would have switched long ago for the weight and size differences. The simple fact is no virtual keyboard is on par with a decent physical keyboard.
My contract is up in a few months, I am well into my upgrade period, and I am seriously considering switching to another carrier for 4g with a physical keyboard. I am not blowing my upgrade on a phone that will irritate the hell out of me, especially when it would mean locking into another 2-year contract with a carrier who clearly is not developing devices for professional users who prefer Android.

Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard

I am looking for Basic phone with sliding QWERTY keyboard, that will text and send pictures without a data plan.
I am now on disability and can't continue with the high cost of data plans.
I was using my Droid 4 but without Data turned on it will text but will not send pictures.
My daughter is sending me an LG-505c so I am hoping that will work but I would still like to get my calender on the phone also.
anyway I need ideas on what phones will work.

The LG ENV3 will work without a data plan, as will several of the older "multimedia" phones and basic phones. My husband is still using an LG VX 5400; my mom uses an LG VX 5200 and both send and receive picture messages (though they are small). Samsung Sway, Alias, LG Voyager, EnvTouch - all of these work without a data plan, and will send and receive texts.

Key mapping question. (for mobile phones with PC-like keyboard)

For phones with mini keyboard (one button per one character, like a PC keyboard).
I'm trying to implement a form with few text boxes. The goal is to let user type the message like they're using a PC keyboard (unlike in traditional phones, where you need to press the 'numpad two' button three times in order to type the character 'C')
I've successfully implemented this functionality. But it's an ugly implementation because I use a switch-cases for each and EVERY keycodes.
Forexample:
char inputChar;
switch(keyCode)
case 97: input = 'A' break;
case 98: input = 'B' break;
// go on until every keys are covered, including the lower case letters. T_T
buffer.append(inputChar);
Yes I know that my programming skill is real crap >_<, so I try google for some good implementation method. But I always found only the detail about the traditional numpad implementations.
Ok, my real question is, can this keyboard implementation be done in a better way? The code should be able to look more beautiful than this, right?
Thank you. =)

I still don't get the problem here?
A textbox in a form will work just fine with those mini keyboards. You don't need to do anything for it..
Otherwise, this code can obviously be done better, a simple array where you just lookup your keycode will be much simpler and faster for instance.

Using Blackberry phone with ipad mini cellular

I have a Blackberry Torch 9810 and want to purchase the mini ipad with cellular.
Can I link between my phone and the ipad so that I can get the internet without lloking for wifi.
I am with Bell.
ChucklefromOttawa

If you are buying the cellular version of the iPad then it already has Internet without Wifi. The cellular version would use the same cellular network your phone uses to connect to the internet. You would of course require a data plan for the cellular iPad though.
I think what you mean is if you have a wifi only ipad can you tether to the blackberry. The answer to that would be yes as long as the black berry has the hotspot option and your cell carrier supports it.

Boot key commands with non-Apple keyboard

I seem to be unable to perform any "Startup key" sequences (resetting PRAM, boot into recovery mode, boot from CD etcetera).
I'm using a Logitech USB (model Y-BF37) keyboard directly connected to the computer but no startup key commands works. (The keyboard is designed for use with apple and has apples command-key symbols on the key nearest the spacebar).
I have tried searching but the general opinion seem to be that any USB keyboard should work.
I have this otherwise well working keyboard and I didn't want to spend money on an Apple keyboard.
Do I have to buy an Apple keyboard to use boot key commands??? I don't think I can borrow an apple keyboard from anywhere and I need to be able to boot into recovery mode...

It is indeed strange that it doesn't work, unless...
Firmware password protection in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option boot will show a lock, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.

Fascinate for someone who is used to a physical keyboard

I am looking to upgrade my wife's ENV2 to a droid. She likes the Fascinate byt us concerned about her move from a physical keyboard to a touch screen keyboard. The Fascinate seems to be a nice large screen (and therefore an easier touch entry), but I wanted to see how others felt with that kind of transition.
Also... general feelings (pro or con) on the phone (probably going CPO)?
Thanks!

I used to have a phone with a physical keyboard (and coincidentally, it was the EnV2) prior to the Fascinate and had some reservations myself prior to purchasing this phone. The phone has a typing feature called Swype which is supposed to speed up typing on the virtual keyboard. Of course, it may feel a bit odd at first not having something tangible to press on, but I got over that fairly quickly. In case you haven't read about it, Swype allows you to type by sliding your finger across the virtual keyboard, as opposed to pressing on the virtual key.
Here is a YouTube link that shows you Swype in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuP6AQPRpUg
Of course, some people won't like this, so for those individuals who actually like pressing virtual buttons, this phone also has an android keyboard. I still recommend playing with the Swype feature before deciding whether to use that or not.
As with any phone, there are pros and cons associated with the phone. What the pros and cons are specifically depends on what phone you're comparing it to. It's somewhat difficult to compare this phone to the EnV2 as they are different. One thing she may notice is that the battery goes out fairly quickly on this phone if the phone is constantly being turned on and used. I could go 2 days on my EnV2 before charging, but I have to recharge this phone once a day (sometimes twice based on how much I use it). But that's an unfair comparison since this phone is like a mini-computer, and I use this phone for many more things than I did the EnV2 (e.g., surfing the web, emails, creating word processing documents, and some games). btw, playing games is one thing that will drain your battery very quickly...although using the word processor for a while can drain it quickly, too.
If she texts a lot, she'll enjoy the difference in the texting feature. On this phone, like many Android phones, she will be able to see the entire conversation, which means no more looking through sent texts when she can't quite remember what the person is responding to. Here's a screen cap I found online that shows an example text.
And I do like the 4" screen. Yes, it makes the phone a bit larger than most, but it's worth it, imo.
The phone does occasionally freeze up on me, but pulling out the battery usually fixes that. Also, while the battery life isn't the greatest, one can control that a bit by downloading an application to "kill" (or force quit) applications. Unlike the EnV2, you will have to turn this phone off and on every once in a while (again, it's like a mini-computer and computers start to lag if you leave them on for an extended period of time, too).
Hope this helps you, and if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Problem sending IM with physical keyboard

Motorola Droid 4 XT894 w/ CyanogenMod 10.1.3-maserati (Although it was same issue when I was on stock Android), Verizon and WiFi, Skype v4.4.0.31835
This has been a huge issue for me for a while, and I thought all the updates to Skype would eventually fix this bug...but apparently not.
My phone has a physical keyboard, and while I understand physical keyboards are being phased out, and that Skype is desigend around the touch screen, I feel it's still important to support these needs as I use Skype for chats as well.
The issue is that when I slide out my keyboard and type a message, the send button dissappears and I cannot send the message by pushing the enter key on the physical keyboard, which only creates a new line in the message. I physically have to slide the keyboard closed on the phone so that the on-screen keyboard shows up and then I can push "Send" on the screen to send a message. This is a physical nuisance, which brings me to another point... I really wish Skype did not change that the Enter key on the physical keyboard only creates a new line (which I understand is its intended function), because all the old versions of skype I was able to send messages just fine by hitting enter on the keypad. I wish there was a general setting that can be checked to say "Enter to Send" like all other popular text messaging apps so you can please both parties...
What I don't understand is that version 4.12.254 skype for my iPad (MC706LL/A), which I have a bluetooth keyboard linked I can push enter on the physical bluetooth keyboard and it will send the message...what the heck???
This occurence is 5/5 tries. Please do something about this! Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Using my HP slatebook x2 (convertible netbook), i have come across the issue where i am not able to sent a message on skype, for the simple reason that there is no "sent" button on the screen.
The ENTER-key, will insert a new linebreak.
Using the software keyboard (android's default), there is a button (above the keyboard) to send the message.
When i reconnect my keyboard (remove it and then putting it back on), the button will show up, but only for one-time use.
skype vers.: 4.4.0.31835
android vers: 4.2.2 (stock)
keyboard: default hardware keyboard that HP deliveres with the tablet
Hope the devs can resolve this issue, goodluck!!

Clamshell style phone with QWERTY keyboard?

Does Verizon Wireless have any plans to once again sell a basic clamshell-style phone with a QWERTY keyboard? My aging Samsung Alias 2 fits this description, but it is getting old. I can find phones with QWERTY keyboards but they are "candybar" style, which I do not like.

Steve_in_Maryland, thanks for posting. I can understand you anticipation for a new clamshell device. For the latest releases stay up to date right here: http://bit.ly/n5snpq .

Accessing phone with foreign SIM card & no data plan

I purchased an Australia SIM card from Lebara Mobile. I have an old unlocked BB Bold that I have been using with an O2 SIM card when I travel to the UK. When I boot my phone with the new SIM card it prompts me for a BB ID. Neither the Lebara nor the O2 plans provide data support to Blackberry. I do have WIFI access enabled but when I enter my BB ID & password it just sits & spins. I have been using my O2 SIM successfully for years (with no data plan) & it works fine.
Please advise if it's possible to use the phone with the Lebara SIM withoout a data plan.
Thanks!
Bob

Sim card has nothing to do with itunes.

Suggestion for a possible iphone with slide out keyboard.

I dont really know if there is a suggestion forum but i thought it would be neat if apple designed a iphone with a physical keyboard for those people who love to text. Apple could even run a internet pole to see what there customers would think i mean the iphone is top notch but i think having one with a slide out keyboard could possibly increase apples sales. Any who just thought id throw that out there and keep up the great work Apple.

This is where you need to go with your suggestion: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I would not hold my breath.

Blackberry registeration with CME

hi all,
I want to know whether one can install the client on blackberry phone same as nokia e71 and register the blackberry phone with cme via wifi. Can somebody provide the link for the documentation
Regards
Nareh

It seems BlackBerry launched complete product - the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System that can be integrated with CME:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/blackberry_mvs/
Here is Configuration Guide:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/deliverables/20062/BlackBerry_Mobile_Voice_System-Configuration_Guide--1079341-0901073810-001-5.0.1-US.pdf
What I have noticed from document is that "the BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System integrates your organization's PBX phone system with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to extend desk phone features to BlackBerry devices". In other words you will need BlackBerry® Enterprise Server working as well for the system to function.
So I guess to install all it if you have only couple of BlackBerry phones is senseless.
I'm curious if it would be possible to use without BlackBerry® Enterprise Server having just simple client on the phone like Nokia Call Connect, for instance with Nokia E-series phones.

Want to change my phone with another one

I have an LG basic phone with slide out keyboard for texting (no data/web). It powers off and is getting annoying. my son has several old smart phones that work fine (just keeps upgrading).
Can I simply pull the chip/card from mine and put into one of his smart phones and use it? Will that work? I don't want data/web.
Thanks,
Regis

Verizon basic phones don't have SIM cards, just 4G LTE smartphones. If you were to activate one of your son's old smartphones, you'll have to also pay for a data plan since they are required to activate a smartphone. If you aren't eligible for an upgrade or don't see a basic phone you like on Verizon's web site, you could buy one from ebay or somewhere else. Just ensure that it's Verizon branded and has a clean ESN.

Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
Jhan Jensen

Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
Thanks again for the help!!!

My japanese macbook pro (late 2011) physical keyboard does not match with the on screen japanese keyboard in windows 8.1 so does caps lock

I am using windows 8.1 pro on my Japanese macbook pro (Late 2011) and enabled japanese language but the problem is that when i press caps lock (lower left corner) it changes the input method from english to japanese. I checked my on screen keyboard (OSK) in windows and its different from my physical keyboard i.e. keys are different on my physical keyboard compared to OSK. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Tenadona

Can I suggest the following articles, which are worth reviewing?
Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
Boot Camp: Apple Wireless Keyboard keyboard mapping in Windows - Apple Support
Boot Camp: Windows commands on an Apple keyboard
Windows does require language packs to be installed, if you want the physical keyboard to match the on-screen keyboard.
